During the Carter years there was a PA Congressman named Dan Flood (D) from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area (Northeast PA). He got in an ethics jam or some such scrape. Somehow he was given a mental-competency test & flunked. He didn't even know what year it was. I believe he got re-elected but got bounced for whatever they had on him at the time.
BTW, RNC, I’m with Redstate.
People engaging in this are lepers to me. They always were, but now we have a clear dividing line to expose the people that have destroyed the party for what they are.
From my perspective Sarah Palin, whether she asked for the job or not, is now the conservative movement’s political leader. McCain is the GOP and elite’s leader. Our side is bigger if not yet in power within the party structure. But we’re going to work to change that.
And this is also why I felt no loss when McCain lost. What everyone sees today is what has been on display the last 8 years and what would have happened had McCain been elected. Think Obama will cause damage? Imagine McCain the unquestioned leader of the Republican party. He already devastated its numbers with his betrayals these past year on policy just as a Senator. the rat needs to be thrown out.
