Dear David,  When running to become your new Republican National Committee Chairman, I campaigned on a need for responsible change for our Party.
Not a change of our core values, but real change of how we go about listening to our supporters, how we communicate our message to all Americans and how we organize and win elections. While I’m excited about the challenges and opportunities we face, I have no illusions. I am fully aware of the hard work ahead and obstacles we must overcome to start winning elections again. But this isn’t about me — I can’t do this alone. It’s about you and every Republican grassroots leader who believes in our conservative principles of limited government, economic growth, personal responsibility and a strong national defense. And it’s about empowering you to lead and giving you the tools to help our Party set a new direction for our country. Successful campaigns cannot be run from a building in Washington. The strength of our Party comes from people like you who believe in our values and ideals and promote them in their communities. As one of my first official acts as Chairman, I’ve commissioned a survey of Republican activists in EVERY state. I want to hear from each of you to understand your thoughts and opinions about our Party and how we can once again be the party of ideas. That’s why I’m asking you to do two very important things for me: 1) Please take a moment right now to fill out online the State of the Republican Party Survey for the RNC. I want you to be honest and candid in your answers — there’s no need to sugar-coat your responses after our Party’s performances in the last two elections. If you choose not to participate in this crucial project, the RNC cannot create a campaign plan to educate and mobilize the millions of Republicans we need to resist the liberal agenda Barack Obama and the Pelosi-Reid Democrats are attempting to ram through Congress. Your guidance will also help us develop new strategies for winning the two Governor’s races held this year. The elections in New Jersey and Virginia offer Republicans a chance to demonstrate that we got your message and will help us seize the momentum. But we cannot lay the groundwork for winning this year and next without your participation in this survey and your active involvement in the RNC. So please complete your State of the Republican Party Survey online today and support the RNC’s efforts to grow our Party by making a secure contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50, or $25. David, our Party cannot do this without you. Please take this survey today.

Mad Magazine: I think they got it right!

While browsing the web, I found an article telling about Mad Magazines current issue, sorry, I forgot where, but that got me curious, so I eventually went to Mad’s website to see about this myself. (If you want to see it for yourself, just click the image and it will take you to Mad’s site.) Mad is usually a bit left leaning, but always funny, I think I am going to subscribe, I used to get it, hmm, I wonder why I stopped? Anyway, if you click the image and go to their site, you can preview the issue, it is funny!
Anyway, it makes me stop and think, what would that first 100 minutes really be like? Ok, you know that the first 100 minutes went by so fast, he probably didn’t have time to think about anything, it was all just ceremony, pretty stuff for the press, things that didn’t really matter to the rest of us. I guess if I was one of his cult like followers, maybe I would have been impacted by the whole scene, but, me, personally, I was just sick!
Watching the hoards of people that endured God only knows what to just be there, I was reminded of Jonestown and the Kool-Aid. I have to admit, whatever it is that must be passed around at his rallies, has to be good stuff! It is going to be funny when the buzz wears off and reality hits!
You may have noticed that I wasn’t posting much since the election, as I said above, I was sick! The thought of where this water walking twin of the antichrist is going to take this country, I didn’t want to just start writing and say something based only on emotion, heck, at that point, the secret service may have wanted to talk to me, I was absolutely furious! I have to admit, waiting to write has been a good decision, now, I can write based on things that have happened, like that porkulus spending bill, wow, whodathunkit? Me, thats who! That is, me and everyone else who isn’t drinking the Obama Kool-Aid! Follow the porkulus link and read more about it, I still cannot believe it! I am having flashbacks to when I was a kid and Jimmy (Peanut-head) Carter was president, remember the gas shortages, the cost of living, unemployment, oh boy, I am glad that I am not a clueless teenager anymore, like the people that voted for Obama! Why do I say that, hey, I am 46 now, I know what is coming, and it will be worse than when Peanut-head was in charge!
I know, they are going to blame Bush, but only the Kool-Aid drinkers will believe that, I mean did Bush bring down the whole world economy? Not likely, these things, just like the weather, come in cycles, that old “what goes up must come down” thing, ya know? Just as (Man-Made) Global warming is being proven false, the truth will come out, eventually, and my Grandchildren will hopefully read the history books and wonder, why did Obama do the same thing they did to cause the great depression? Think about it, you cannot spend your way out of debt! You know, last I heard we are in the weather patterns simular to the 30’s and 40’s, hmm, just like the economy, what a coincidence.
