Idiots
I just got off the phone from someone (didn't pay that much attention to the name) who was stumping for the re-election of Sara Palin. They were evidently calling every Republican, in every state, not just in Alaska, and asking for money to get Sara re-elected. The call didn't up-set me, it was the questions that got me. "Do you want to see extreme Democrat policies ruin this country?" "Do you want your taxes to stay the same or even go up ...or...want to see your taxes lowered?" Well golly gee! Never thought of that! Let me think! I guess I'd rather have the extreme Democrat programs, and of course I'd rather have my taxes to go up! I'm not paying nearly enough for all the "give-away" programs the Democrats are espousing." Why can't political fund raisers just ask a simple question. "Tom, can you help us with this election? Sara is a little short at this time for TV ads and our opponent is killing us!" Quit talking down to us and treating us like country bumpkins!

This reminds me of my big issue with the Republican party, in general. I am the one in our family who makes the contributions to the party and/or to candidates. I am the one who has been involved in local events etc. Yet, when the party calls for more money, when I answer, they always ask for Mr. Fix-it - they rarely ask for me. What a sexist assumption.
ReplyDeleteThis is clearly a party in trouble.
Just like leaving the check at a restaurant. They always give it to the man. They figure a man will give a bigger tip. Little do they know that if Jan is paying, she leaves a smaller tip if they automatically give it to me.
