Feel the respect.

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.”


Take a look at this slide:



It's a bit hard to read, but the box on the left is titled "visceral giving", which is mostly small dollar donors. Teabagger types. The box on the right is "calculated giving", which are those buying access.

For the former, the RNC calls them "reactionary", which is obviously an accurate description, but not the sort of thing you want your own party saying about you. For the latter, the RNC calls them egotists.


Then, it turns out the RNC is run by third graders. Here's slide #7:



The inmates truly do run their asylum.

1. This proves the GOP have contempt
for their small time supporters (the people least likely to realize they are company schmucks).

I may send this to my "conservative" lovin' fiance. :evilgrin:

3. Gee, what a surprise (NOT!)
Funny how quiet the MSM appears to be, yet when a Dem is even slightly impolite they're all over it. The 'Pubs are just not that techno-savvy in addition to not being all that smart, are they?

Oh, and I'm lovin' the Kos comments, as usual, as well as the sig lines. "Dick Cheney now has a heart attack for each of his deferments." :rofl: :rofl:

4. 'the RNC reacted with alarm...'
The RNC reacted with alarm to a question about it Thursday, emailing major donors to warn them of a reporter’s question, and distancing Steele from its contents.
