[quote=Anonymous]The concept of a principled position is so foreign to Republicans at this point that they are literally incapable of recognizing one. The principle behind DC statehood is that the Americans who live here deserve representation in the legislative branch of government which makes the laws as well as self-determination to run their own jurisdiction as they and their locally elected leaders see fit. Remember how you used to pretend to care about local control of government? There is literally no principled argument against it. They SOLE reason Republicans don't want DC statehood is because they perceive DC as too liberal. It is a 100% partisan hack position, which is made especially clear when they argue for retrocession, acknowledging that the boundaries of the federal zone mandated by the constitution need not remain the same. You might as well admit what you are. We see you.[/quote]
