The GOP goes....ongoing
You know, if the Republicans, up and down the ticket (I'm talking down to the local level) were actually behaving well, I might take this email blast a bit more seriously:
Welcome to the NRCC e-Newsletter, a service provided to you by the National Republican Congressional Committee. This newsletter will keep you informed of our efforts to take back the majority and return conservative leadership to the U.S. Congress.
Conservative leadership - when I start seeing a plethora of conservative results, I'll take it seriously.
If it were only true. Alas and alac, just when one might think there may be light at the end of the tunnel, it does turn out to be an oncoming train...
Remember, actions trump words. However, I'm being mild right now; others are not!
From Michelle:
All week long, you and I have been blasting the bereft Beltway GOP leadership for their empty sloganeering and Obama-esque change obsession.
Now, the NRCC is hearing it directly on its website. Reader Fritz e-mails that the comments section in the NRCC blog post by chairman Tom Cole is sizzling hot with aggravated grass-roots conservative feedback.
Go check it out. A sample:
This is not the message I am looking to support. The message of the Replican Part should be fundumentally different than the Democrats. We don’t need to “fix” the government. We need the Federal Government to do wnat it is supposed to - protect our freedom. It should not try to be eveyones “Daddy” Healthcare is not the Federal Governments responsibility. If my new my situation, you might take these comments more seriously. I am not some rich guy who wants to pay less taxes and who can afford to pay for the high prices of healthcare. I just know that government, in general, is inefficiant and wasteful and would like to see less governement programs instead of more.
Go read Michelle!
Then, a satire of the devolution of Repubicanism - read carefully! (H/T: Mount Virtus)
