Getting the Point Across to Republicans 101
As a Conservative Christian voter, I have to admit that the Republican Party sure knew how to pull my strings for the past decade. I don't look to the Government as some sort of savior, nor do I believe the Republican party is "Christian", but I have voted Republican almost exclusively since I was 18 years old. Lately, it seems like they've dropped the ball on just about all the issues that I think are important.
Quite frankly, I believe they forsook the values of those who got them elected and they paid for it in the last election cycle by losing the House and Senate to the Democrats. If the Republicans don't get their act together, they will pay even more dearly by losing the White House in '08.
Being the disgruntled Republican that I am, I decided to cut off the RNC from the few dollars they've normally crooked out of me each year. They have responded to that with a constant barrage of letters reminding me that they are the Party of Ronald Reagan, begging me for money, and passionately telling me how important my membership in the RNC really is... (As if the fate of the Free World depends on my membership and $25.00! Yeah, right!!)
I have tried to get them to see that they aren't getting anymore of my stinky little Federal Reserve notes and that I no longer wish to communicate with them. Yet, like those heretical Prosperity Preachers on TBN, they continue to harass me with letters that promise me the world -but for a small fee.
One of the greatest examples of Republican failure (outside of abortion) has been on illegal immigration. Last year the INS and Georgia officials did a sting operation in our area (which I believe was simply a stunt to help get our Governor reelected). I kid you not, during that sting operation, 90% of the Mexican population in our area vanished!! Prior to that operation, I thought 1 in 10 were illegal, but as it turned out, about 9 out of 10 were illegal! The illegals that did not get caught in the sting either hid in the woods or fled to points unknown until "la Migra" left town.
While I was glad they finally did something, I couldn't help but be angry that the government let things get that bad before they did something. From the looks of the banner I found on the GOP website, I think the Republicans have some more sinister plans for all these illegals: grant them amnesty, fast track them to citizenship, and then trick them into voting Republican!
Because I am such a philanthropist and a die hard Republican at heart, today I could no longer turn a deaf ear to their pleas for my hard earned cash. Therefore I responded by sending them some BIG MONEY! Hopefully when the "money" arrives they'll get the point:

Rhett,
Send your money to Mike Huckabee, instead. He would spell change for the party. I think he could take the party in a good direction, if he can get a chance.
I agree though, the Republicans have cheated us.

We are the GOP's version of the black vote. Ignore them all day, then cater to them during the elections. Then ignore them again.
Be honest, Rhett, the whole post was about getting to the point where you could post that last graphic.
BTW, off topic, I'm in favor of turning off comment moderation at the Mafia. In fact, I hereby make that motion official.
