    The RNC needs to know so they can contact you.



    Exclusive: RNC do ent mocks donors, plays on 'fear'

    The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on “fear” of President Barack Obama and a promise to "save the country from trending toward socialism."

    The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and “tchochkes.”

    The presentation was delivered by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart to top donors and fundraisers at a party retreat in Boca Grande, Florida on February 18, a source at the gathering said.

    In neat PowerPoint pages, it lifts the curtain on the often-cynical terms of political marketing, displaying an air of disdain for the party’s donors that is usually confined to the barroom conversations of political operatives.

    The presentation explains the Republican fundraising in simple terms.

    "What can you sell when you do not have the White House, the House, or the Senate...?" it asks.

    The answer: "Save the country from trending toward Socialism!”

    Manipulating donors with crude caricatures and playing on their fears is hardly unique to Republicans or to the RNC – Democrats raised millions off George W. Bush in similar terms – but rarely is it practiced in such cartoonish terms... [Continued]

    I don’t like Pelosi, Reid, Barney, Dodd to name a few….I wonder what have Republicans done in the past few years to earn Americas trust & convince people that they should be the leaders of our country?

    Hey, I gotta question for the board conservatives regarding this slide:


    Pretty standard Tea Party fare, "Obama as the Joker" and all of that...but what up with the Reid and Pelosi as the farmer couple in the "American Gothic" painting? Why is that supposed to be derrogatory? I though Republicans and Conservatives were constantly mythologizing the American farmer.

    is not a GOP donor, but is a straight up reactionary. A previous status quo was better.

    I know, they have avoided this thread like the plague. I guess they can't defend the party they nut hug for. This just proves that the GOP relies on dumb people voting for them.. That sums up the GOP base..and there is no defense for it so they just run away like the scared pu$$ies they are..

    Why should we partake in your circle jerk? When the answer is "none of the above," is shows this is a liberal suck fest. Count me out.
