Virginia GOP Delegate Makes National Fool Of Himself

Virginia Del. Jim Lemunyon (R-67) (pictured here with his right wingnut pal, Frank Wolf), the genius who brought us open enrollment for Fairfax schools, now makes a fool of himself for a national audience. The U.S. Congress is in a state of serious disrepair and cannot fix itself. It has reached this point over the course of many years-in fact over many decades. Regardless of the party in power, Congress has demonstrated a growing inability to effectively address the major issues of our time, including soaring federal debt and the extension of federal authority to states and localities. The remedy is in Article V of the Constitution, which permits a convention to be called for the purpose of proposing constitutional amendments... ...In the Virginia House of Delegates, I introduced a resolution (H.J. 183) calling for a constitutional convention to restrain the national government as well.

What on earth were voters thinking in November 2009? I mean, seriously, did Virginia go through a period of temporary insanity last November or what to elect people like Jim Lemunyon? How embarrassing.
