I got a 2007 Membership Renewal form for the National Republican Congressional Committee in the mail this weekend. I figured it took a lot of guts to send them out, since it’s really just a fundraiser after they really didn’t perform at all since 2000, so instead of a check I typed up and mailed in this reply:

To: Congressman Tom Cole, NRCC Chairman

Re: Membership contribution request

Dear Congressman Cole,

Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the NRCC. I was surprised to hear that there are actually any Republicans still in the Congress. The last time I sent you money, we controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. We were really going to get things done. So what happened?

You’re asking me for money to help you fight for reform in the areas of immigration, Social Security, and Medicare...yet you had six years of total control in Washington in which to advance our agenda. Who fell asleep at the wheel? The same folks who want my hard-earned money now that they’re powerless to push anything through the House at all, and can merely stonewall Democrat bills in the Senate? What was my money paying for when you guys ran the joint?

The fact of the matter is, I am not sending you guys a penny. I, like many who vote Republican, am the antithesis of the “rich, evil Republican” that the Democrats like to portray. I make a modest living and am happy doing so, and thought that sending some of my valuable money to you Republicans while you were in power would actually help you accomplish something. I was sorely mistaken, and I won’t be making such a poor investment any time in the near future.

I was not one of those voters who “sat out” the last election in order to teach you Republicans a lesson. I do understand what’s at stake here. But for you to come back to us with your hat in your hand after a shameful squandering of six years in control of everything in Washington is too much. I won’t vote with my wallet the way I will with my ballot. Either you Republicans in the Senate had better start acting like conservatives, or you won’t have any support left from people who thought you were there to advance the causes about which we care most deeply.

Good luck. Your candidates will likely get my vote in 2008, but you won’t get one red cent. This time you earn it first.

PS: The same applies to Presidential candidates in 2008. At this point I remain firmly resolved to write-in Ronald Reagan.

I really don’t think anyone in Washington truly represents the people who vote for them any more. Look at the Democrats, for instance. The ones who ran on an anti-war platform don’t dare defund the war, because they know that’d be political suicide. So the crazy leftists who helped them raise money are going to be mad as heck. On the other side, our Republicans had six years to get things done, and had the power to do it, and still produced nothing.

This simply reinforces my long held belief that nobody in Washington is there to solve problems. What would the Republicans do if they couldn’t dangle the abortion or immigration carrot in front of us voters? Especially in this age where you’re only as important as your last five minutes’ performance, they’re just simply afraid of having no crisis handy with which they can rally the voters.

The letter I wrote pretty much says it all. I wish everyone who got the NRCC fundraising request would do the same thing. If nobody with an (R) by their name has any sack anymore, then they don’t deserve to be in national politics. Period.

Once again, the cowardly Earl Pomeroy shows that he’s more devoted to trying to defeat Republicans than he is to defeating America’s enemies. While many on his side were calling for an increase in troop levels a while back to criticize the President, now they’re doing the opposite. But we shouldn’t be surprised.

You see, the cowardly Representative Pomeroy has always been clear on where he stands on this issue. As I pointed out in this post a while back, he voted against House Resolution 861 less than 24 hours before showing up at the funeral of a fallen Bismarck soldier, where he proudly looked all patriotic. This two-faced, cowardly liar had the nerve to wave and greet North Dakota soldiers and those there to support them less than a day after voting against a resolution supporting victory in the War on Terrorism.

The troop surge makes sense: let the rest of the soldiers in place in Iraq continue their operations as usual, while bringing in a force designed and deployed to root out the insurgency. But if we do that, then we don’t enable the Democrat party mouthpieces to cry “Civil War! Civil War!” But the fact of the matter is, they’re merely using this war as a means to attack Republicans here at home. That’s so cowardly, apparently Earl needed to be deployed back to Washington from ND to carry the mantle for the Democrats. He’s doing a bang-up job.

I’ve covered the text of the House Resolution in this post so I won’t get into it again. Let it suffice to say that I’m not surprised to see cowardly Earl taking his five minutes to bravely stand the Democrat party line, trying to insure that our fighting men and women are not given the resources they require, hoping eagerly for a defeat to hang around the neck of a Republican president while paying for it with the blood of American soldiers. Way to go, Earl...you make me sick.

I’d like to point out to those African Americans who buy into the racist stereotype that Republicans are bigots who don’t represent anybody but the white guy:

There will NEVER be a black Democrat who will be the first black US Senator, first black US Representative, first black American to preside over a session over the US Senate, first black National Security Advisor, first black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, first (or second) black Secretary of State, or the first black Supreme Court justice.  That’s right, those milestones have all been accomplished by black Republicans.

In fact, the first black US Senator and US Representative were elected to Congress in 1870s, long before the Democrats stuffed their white hoods in the dumpster and finally quit voting against civil rights legislation.

With all these Obamagasms going on, I just thought I would clarify that the stereotype of the Republican party as a white party is hogwash.  While the Democrats talk a pretty tough game when it comes to racism, the Republicans have been quietly electing African Americans to political office for over 130 years.

I’m right in the thick of it tonight, folks. Deep in south-southwestern SD, it’s amazing how many white Democrats have infiltrated the reservations.  They’ve got a push for abortion going on that defies description. 

The one bumper sticker I’ve seen so far that has it right says “Abortion is NOT the Indian way.” Yet many seem to have sold their souls to the Democrat party.  The reservations seem to be the battle grounds for the abortion debate.  As I type this, only 4-5% of the SD polls have closed...but so far the NOs are winning it for #6.

I don’t get it.  What if some white guy said it would be a good idea to abort more Indian babies?  Then the outcry of “That’s not the Indian Way” would be deafening.  Would it be okay if he was a liberal Democrat?  So far, I guess that’s the case.

I even saw a twisted slogan on a sign earlier this week: “A woman’s body is sacred.  Vote NO on #6.” Apparently since they use a word like “sacred” they must know what it means, right?  Obviously not.  What if that unborn baby they choose to abort is female?  Is her body somehow excepted?

You can’t go a few hundred feet without seeing a “NO on #6” sign here.  They’re nice signs, printed on nice paper...likely the best you can buy.  Meanwhile, the signs for actual South Dakota and tribal elections are hand-painted, many on particle board.  See something weird in that?  I do.

Like I said, the polls are closed.  Assuming there aren’t any demands for recounts, flocks of white Democrats will leave South Dakota tomorrow, likely never to return.  Maybe then the members of the Native Community who bought into their lies.  Once they’ve served the purpose of pro-abortion liberals outside of South Dakota, they’ll be left here on the rez to rot.
