McClane has a Brain
We received another urgent letter from Mr. McCain this week. I guess the bumper sticker thing isn’t working out for them.
My favorite part:
We must respond [to the "fully funded" Democratic campaign] by dramatically increasing our own Republican registration efforts, matching them voter-to-voter, district-by-district, state-by-state all across America. But we can only do that with an immediate, emergency injection of funds.
That’s why I’m turning to our Party’s most informed and valued supporters – loyal Republicans like you – to help the RNC Victory 2008 campaign launch our most aggressive and ambitious Voter Registration Drive in the history of the Republic Party. To do that we must raise $10.6 million in the next 60 days.
I appreciate the flattery (we are some of the “most informed,” afterall). But unfortunately that second part isn’t true. Too bad they don’t even have a handle on who is in the Republican Party. This is one confidence-inspiring campaign, from the “emergency” funding pleas, to the party confusion, to the tone of sheer panic.
What kind of idiot actually responds to such pandering bull shit?
Right now, the Democrats are registering historic numbers of voters and building the most massive political fundraising machine in modern history [using social technology I don't understand] with one goal in mind: Defeat Republicans. The next 60 days will make-or-break the Republican Party and our grassroots voter registration efforts.
Wait, your grassroots what? I didn’t know the Republican party even knew that word.
We cannot delay in doing everything we can to build a war chest that will enable Republicans to get out our message [ABOUT WAR, AND MORE OF IT!], challenge the Democrats on their own turf, expose their radically liberal agenda for our nation, and mobilize and register historic numbers of Republican voters.
My blood pressure went up twenty points reading this. War chest… turf… radically liberal agenda? There are so many more important things to argue than turf and party line politics, but that’s all the system allows, and we waste so much time on it.
Not to mention money. Aren’t there better ways to spend $10.6 million? I’m overwhelmed with waste, here and everywhere.
So much goes into tissue paper arguments, smear campaigns, and turf wars over “our” nation, and then all that effort, money, and time dissolves with the swearing in, leaving in its wake the red, white, and blue debris of propaganda. And important issues go ignored.
So let’s ignore this important issue and imagine a world where John McClane is running for President.
