In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Leaked Documents Show NH Legislators Asked to Take Pledge Putting Corporate Front Group Ah [View all]stuffmatters
(2,574 posts)Everyone of them should be outed loudly and repeatedly...from Boehner & Mc Connell and the Congressional Repubs to the
Bircher governors down to state legislators, mayors, judges, county supervisors, now even school board members.... Any elected position able to facilitate privatization.
If ALEC, the Chamber,NFIB, the Lincoln Club, Norquist's Orgs, Rove's Orgs, any Koch Bros front group/junk tank endorses a candidate or contributes largely, good chance they've taken the ALEC & Norquist pledges. And I sure have growing suspicions on any Third Way candidate, since Wall Street's big in ALEC. I know many politicians and corps said they dropped out of ALEC, but I'm sure they are still just as active and strident about the agenda, just hiding behind another front group name in their eternal game of Bircher whackamole.
These pledges are where the Tea Party & the "more reasonable Repubs" share their cult's ideology and blind allegiance. I doubt they can get any Repub nomination for anything without signing both pledges. Why this is not a national outrage I am, frankly,
bewildered.
