Republican survey in the mail

[fightingquaker13]

Adjust yourself, FQ.  Your arrogance and condescention are showing.

No condescion. These usely go out to previous donors. I gave to McCain in 2000. They wanted fifty as an entering bid. Hel, I gave $40 dollars to the National Wildlife Foundation and got a really cute stuffed blue footed booby as a Christmas present for my young cousin to go with it.

PS For all Grandfathers and Uncles of young kids out there, you can't beat this deal. You get a choice of like 50 stuffed anmals of endangered species, made by Gund so they're nice, and you can't find them in a toy store. You buy some land for habitat and get a unique gift. I don't like all their politics, but I think they come out on the plus side.

15. Do you support Democrats' drive to eliminate workers' right to a private ballot when considering unionization of their place of employment>

A couple years ago my liberal, school teacher, blue fart, candidate claimed that it was the Republicans and Bush that wanted this ... but then again we all know that is all W's fault anyway.

They sent it to you as a joke. Apparently you missed it.

Yeah, yeah yeah..., that was funny though. Still, its a darned cute little beast and I have to admit that the whole two year old cousin thing is pretty cool too. I'm still debating whether the sixth or seventh birthday is the time for the Red Ryder. I was going to get him a toy drum set to annoy his very PC mother, but the dad is a music teacher and beat me to it. If you really want to piss off your nearest and dearest, FP (I think) makes a blanket like electric drum set. The kid  hits the colored symbol and gets a drum sound that is loud! His dad may not be smart, but he does love that kid!

I got the same survey on two separate occasions.... about 6 months apart. IMO it is just a solicitation for money.

What struck me as odd was that it was the same Q's both times. If it were truely an effort for the GOP to "take the temperature" as they were trying to bill it, why ask me the same Q's twice? Many of the questions were also not really timely, but more so just looked like questions that might rile up hard core right wingers and get them to send in money.

When I sent mine back I put a note in the Donation area that I had been unemployed since the Inauguration.

I sent it back both times with NO RINOs written on it, get rid of the traitors Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham and that Steele must go as well if the want one of my $$'s.  The lesser of two evils is still evil...and they sent me another.

In addition to money, they are patronizing us with questions to make us feel they are one of us to draw us into their RINO web.  I've a friend who is well connected in the Beltway...he defended the Republicans up to a month or so ago....now he has thrown in the towel...a good sign.

Look, most of the country are RHINOS. Fiscally liberal and socially conservative. This pisses me off as a libertarian (socially liberal, and fiscally conservative) and it pisses off true conservatives and true socialists, but thats the way the land lies. Karl Marx was a terrible economist but a great political observer. He said "Men make history, but not in the circumstances of their own choosing". Most Americans agree with Graham (R-SC) or Webb(D-Va.). The job of any political movement is too convince them that they are wrong, not to convince itself that the American people REALLY believe in your position but just can't express it. That fallacy, born of hubris, denies the very basis of the market place we believe in. If there is a demand for a good, someone will provide it. If people aren't buying a good, either it is defective or it has been badly marketed and the seller needs to adapt. The same is true of political ideologies.

FQ, If what you say were really true people would not have risked jail this summer to voice their opposition to BO, The 9-12 protest would have fizzled like the "Million Mom" and Million Man" marches that didn't get half that many people, the estimates on the 9-12 protest range from over 1 million to over 2 million.
Besides,what the mob wants isn't relevant, for starters every single one of the policies espoused by liberals be they RINO's or openly Democrat, have been tried before and failed, as an example the "Stimulus bill " was the same thing FDR tried and his policies have been PROVEN to have lengthened the Depression they were meant to shorten, during the 90's when Japan's economy was in the crapper they tried 8 stimulus packages and the result was that things got worse after each one, the only thing they did was drive their national debt up to 50% of GDP.
Second, this is not a "Democracy" We have RULES on what Government can and can not do. One of them says that powers not SPECIFICLY granted to it are reserved for the states and the people, that means that it is no business of the Feds one way or the other.
