#NHGOPFail
I got an email from the NH GOP today IMPLORING me to send money:
Tomorrow we can send that message to the President when he visits Manchester, but we need your help now. Stop Obama from occupying New Hampshire in 2012 by donating $100, $50 or $25 today!
No way, Chairman MacDonald (I REALLY wanted to start this sentence with an 8 letter word starting with "B", but refrained out of respect for TMEW). I haven’t seen (or heard of) ONE thing that the Republican Party here in NH do about the philosophical implications of Occupy Wall Street ("OWS") – certainly I have not seen or heard of any official boots on the ground or in the media to defend Republican ideas over their ideas, even as the Dems have embraced them (and are also using OWS for their fundraising). Further, the NH GOP establishment spit in the eye of the movement that tried to rejuvenate the Constitutional spirits of the nation and NH, the TEA Party; WHY would I want to help you with $$ after that? When the Party can’t get off its collective butts and engage the OWSers and debate Republican ideals publicly and loudly?
I wrote this post before I got the email and wrote this :
"(instead of what seems to be the Republican pacifist derring-do of just walking away)"
MacDonald’s email wasn’t just walking away – it was walking away AND pan-handling for dimes like the OWSers and the Dems that have endorsed them.
Limp.
NH GOP Email after the jump. BTW, is getting a goal of a mere $2,500 going to REALLY send a message to Obama? REALLY? You had a week and you can’t raise a measly $2,500? Even the NH TEA Partiers can raise that in a week…
Friends,
Although Barack Obama hasn’t been to our state in almost two years, he’ll be here tomorrow for — guess what? — another political speech! Last week, we set a goal to rally our supporters, sign up volunteers and send Obama a message before his campaign swing. Thanks to your help, we’re close to hitting our goals.
With your help TODAY, we can achieve our goal of raising $2,500 before the President arrives in Manchester tomorrow. Can you donate $100, $75 or $50 to help us tell Obama that he won’t be occupying New Hampshire in 2012?
We want to tell President Obama that we don’t need more speeches and more rhetoric. We need real leadership in the White House! Instead of ObamaCare and another failed stimulus bill, we want lower taxes, limited government and fiscal discipline.
Tomorrow we can send that message to the President when he visits Manchester, but we need your help now. Stop Obama from occupying New Hampshire in 2012 by donating $100, $50 or $25 today!
Regards,
Chairman Wayne MacDonald
N.H. Republican State Committee
P.S. We need your help TODAY! Can you donate $100, $50 or $25 to help send Barack Obama a message?
