GOP Spam

Somewhere in the year 2004, I made the brutal mistake of signing up via email to help out the Bush team. What I (got) get in return is an endless barrage of spam from the RNC or other GOP politico.

99.999% of the time, I delete them without reading them. But today, I just happen to read one "from" Mike Duncan, RNC Chairman.

The email is all about how Harry Reid disparaged the troops and military leadership, as if a die hard republican doesn't already know that Harry Reid is a weasel.

You know. Here is my response to Mr. Duncan,

If you so despise Harry Reid, why didn't govern the Senate in such a way that would have kept that idiot from being majority leader?

If you read this blog, you know how hard I am on the GOP... much harder than democrats. Call it the soft bigotry of low expectations in reverse. I expect democrats to be socialists (Bernie Sanders), money launderers (William Jefferson), drug addicts (Patrick Kennedy), murderers (Ted Kennedy), and general vermin (Bill and Hillary Rodham). I won't except that from a party I intend to vote for.

It's my belief that conservatives stand more on principle than democrats. Read an analysis by a liberal and you'll see that they are willing to watch their candidates compromise their beliefs and run on things like lower taxes and faith because they know that's what it takes to get elected. Hell, conservatives can't even stand the thought of a pro choice candidate even if they intend to put Scalia types all over the federal court system.

Where I'm going with this is this, Mr Duncan, unlike a major league general manager, I pay for performance, not on potential. For the past 10 - 16 years the GOP (nationally and in Ohio) hung that conservative carrot out in front of republicans and all we got was wasted money and corruption.

By the end of your run, I couldn't tell Mike DeWine, George Voinovich & Bob Taft from Howard Metzenbaum, John Glenn & Dick Celeste.

So instead of wasting my hard drive space with your anti Harry Reid drivel, how about telling me how the GOP is governing on principle for once.
