Elephant Makeover?
Clueless GOP party hacks in South Carolina and all across the country are asking the public to tell them “what it means to be a Republican,” the latest sign that a pervasive identity crisis exists within the party.
Seriously, shouldn’t these morons already have a pretty good handle on means to be a Republican?
Oh that’s right, we forgot … Republicans took control in Washington (and Columbia, S.C. for that matter) and promptly became the party of big government.
Anyway, here’s an e-mail we received yesterday from a prominent GOP activist …
Now is the time to contribute your ideas to shape the future of our country’s political culture for the betterment of us all. If you support the Republican Party, it’s principals (sic), or want to participate in a constructive political effort, give them your ideas. As the S.C.G.O.P. will be doing Feb. 7, all fifty state organizations of the Republican Party will meet soon to lay out re-organization details. They asked everyone to send an e-mail that starts, “I wish the State Republican Party would ….”
Awww, how sweet.
Personally, we wish the State Republican Party would send us some chocolate ice cream (w/ chocolate sprinkles and chocolate syrup on top). Seriously. And don’t get us that cheap store brand chocolate, make it Breyer’s. Oooh, oooh!! We mean Moose Tracks …
And of course here’s the part of the e-mail we quoted from earlier …
They are working on defining what it means to be Republican. They need to know where you stand on issues so that you are properly represented.
Geez what a bunch of sad, pathetic followers – sticking their fingers in the wind and beggin somebody to tell them what to be.
That’s not leadership, that’s followership.
Oh well … as the saying goes, “if ya don’t know, ya betta axe somebody.”

I got some survey from the Republican party -almost demanding that I fill it out stating what I believed in – i.e. do I approve of 11 trillion dollar deficits, undeclared wars, spying on citizens, torture, billions of dollars of handouts to bankrupt banks, and more and more bailouts?
I threw it away – I mean what does my opinion matter anyway?
It makes me seriously question why I want to associate myself with this party anymore. Their past actions these last 8 years are against everything I believe in about how our country should be run.
Sic Willie- I think you need to start a new political party in S.C.

Elmo-
We are already members of the Las Vegas Freedom Party, but might consider transferring our membership if the right SC-based party came along.
Of course, asking SC to lead anything is like asking the comatose to drive.
-FITS

You people are freaking me out. Is it yours, WickedPedia’s, or Jeffrey’s digit heads doing it? When I click on SCHOTLINE.COM link to your “Alleged GOP Plot Exposed” post, it takes me here:

I think I may join the Liberterian Party. Isn’t that the party of our governor?

I think Republicans need to become conservatives!

Katon Dawson sure conducted a fawning interview with Howard Rich….does that signal a direction for the SC-GOP?

I return each survey that is sent to me with a suggestion or two (energy independence, flat tax, require RINOs to leave the party, etc.) and enclose a donation to help teh RNC defray the cost of the postage they were kind enough to include on the envelope for me: a sparkling penny.

Willie,
Are you going to make us sign up for the Blast before you tell us the rest of the blackmail thing? I only have $5.64. We are out of milk. And the mail order goat ain’t here yet.
Tell the lawyers to stay out of it JUST THIS ONCE.

I wish the State Republican Party would get rid of Senator Jakie Knotts.
Lexington County Republican Party does not like him and if it was not for him having the Democrates voting for him in his last run off with Katrina Shealy, he would be out by now. While Jakie is a true Democrat, it is time he was honest for once in his life and tell everyone he is a Democrat. But being the two-face lier he is, he knows that he could not win in Lexington as a Democrat.

Well, frank…..here’s the thing:
I think Jakie is a good person — a good Democrat — at heart. But he has a wicked friend, Donnie Myers, who isn’t about being good AT ALL. Why, I even thought I saw Jakie riding past me on Park Road by Wings-N-Ale, driving a blazing white American 4-door sedan, in a blazing white suit, with a blazing white Boss Hogg hat on the other day.
Now…with the brainwashing campaign in play over here in Lexington, by the master-of-effing-up-your-perception, Donnie Myers, I had to take a step back and think, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm –
###
But frank, you are right. Jakie needs to decide which field to be a good member of the herd IN.
I’m glad he — or the person designated to LOOK LIKE him — was driving a white vehicle. Most of the thugs-on-a-leash for The Rooster, Donnie Myers, have been accommodated with ***beige*** vehicles — due to wanting to portray a NEUTRAL appearance. Which is a fallacy…but another story for another day.
