The RNC and its Chairman gives us a another belly laugh

[Bitwit1234]

On CNN's online home page they have an article proposed by the republicans. They are setting up a platform that would make every republican who wants to run for office and receive republican funds adhere to this platform. But mainly it wants President Obama's 'SOCIALIST' administration looked in to.

Now if you would enjoy a big old laugh, just go there and read it. I have a headache and will go back later. I read the comments. Seems likes all but about one tell the republicans what they can do with this childest proposal. Now that's as much a laugh as this stupid resolutions. Whereas and whereby combined.
