So, here it is… the first few days into Summer and it’s so hot outside I was sure I was getting pretty close to the Gates of Hell (or the US Congress, take your pick). This obviously called for a retreat into the air-conditioned office in order to take a short breather and cool down a bit. And since it’s a slow afternoon, I thought I’d take a run through my typical reading list of Conservative Websites (American Thinker, Big Hollywood, RightBias, Pajamas Media, The Heritage Foundation and so forth). Yes, I am one-sided in this fight…
Alas and alack, it’s the same ol, same ol out there. Gangs of Terrorists Doing Drive-by Shootings, Growing Economic Turmoil, Political Scandal, Constant Noise from the Leftist Media and Incessant Attacks against Western Society… And that’s just the Kansas City news!
There are about twenty pages of commentary that could be done on everything from the recent vote-scandal in Iran, to the illegal firings of Inspectors General who root out corruption that can be directly linked to His Omnipotence, to the obvious ever-increasing train wreck rush to Socialism. But this commentary will be brief and limited to one thing and one thing only…
Why is the GOP in such a quandary these days? Well, I do believe I’ve found the root cause of the problem. Have you looked at the official GOP Website lately? Do you think you can go there and, as a Conservative, find a clearly laid out vision for the future of this country? Not likely, Lucille, not very likely at all. Instead, you get…
PINK ELEPHANTS!!!
Follow up:
Yes, friends, you heard me right. True leadership and real value for your dollar? A 4 inch by 5 inch PINK ELEPHANT for $35.00… $35.00 “bleeping” dollars?
And the worst part of all is that the GOP site still offers Talking Points about supporting President Bush’s programs (Aaahhh… Earth to GOP… that game is over!)
Big Quote Directly from the Website:
Stand with President Bush on increased defense spending that better prepares and protects our military. Show support for the President’s improvements in Homeland Security to defend our country. Stand with President Bush in his efforts to protect the homeland by controlling the borders. Support President Bush’s Access to Recovery program, a proposed three-year, $600 million drug treatment voucher initiative, will give recovering addicts expanded access to a full range of faith-based and community providers.
…or buying a Red, White And Blue Elephant to support John McCain’s run for the Presidency (thanks, GOP, for setting that one up!).
Big Quote Directly From the Website:
Show your support for John McCain and all our GOP candidates by proudly displaying the Republican National Committee’s newest member, Victor the Victory Elephant. Victor is ready to hit the Convention floor to place his nomination vote for John McCain and rally Republicans to victory with his Convention Pennant. This wonderful plush toy is available for a limited-time only. Actual size 5″ x 4″
It is stuff like this, exactly like this, that clearly displays the GOP’s lack of a direct connection to the very large and increasingly concerned Conservative base in the country. If you think the current crop of antiques and limited vision, low-brow thinkers in the elected assembly today is any different on either side of the aisle…
Buy a Pink Elephant… and try to sleep well tonight…
