VA REPUBLICANS CONDEMN BIPARTISANSHIP
By Stockton
WARNING!!! ACTUAL QUOTATIONS INCLUDED
Vocalizing for the first time the national Republican first principle, Virginia Republicans, who control both houses of the Virginia legislature, have condemned bipartisanship, cooperation and sanity after passing a budget saving tax increase at the behest of Democratic Governor Mark Warner and members of the sane-wing of the Republican party. "I think some of the people who stepped out and worked with the governor and worked with the Senate will find they have challenges in primaries or challenges in general elections," said House Speaker William J. Howell (R). "We tried to sit those guys down. . . . But I don't think they ever felt like there would be any repercussions if they didn't," added anti-tax wingnut Delagate David B. Albo (R), referring to members of the sane wing of the Virginia Republican party.
Evil, unpatriotic, tax-and-spend Democrats tried to put a positive spin on the tax increase: "We avoided a government shutdown, we preserved our credit rating, we governed responsibly," said Delegate Brian J. Moran (D).
