I feel very important...

Apparently the Republican National Committee needs my opinion very badly. They sent me a survey and told me so. Enclosed with the survey was a four page letter which toggled between the perils of allowing the liberals to become president and the importance of my opinion and how I represent the views of "ALL Republican voters living in (my) voting district." Interesting. I switched from Republican to undeclared over a year ago and yet they still chose me. I'm touched. to think they trust my opinion despite changing my affiliation. It's very refreshing how they would still want to hear from me.

They still wanted me to be informed about the current state of things and how it might be as well. Did you know that among other things, liberals will "ignore the problem of illegal immigration," "staff the federal government with cronies," and "expand the federal government's power and influence?!?" Unbelievable! This is a terrible thought and I'm so glad "my party" didn't do the same thing for the first 6 years of the current administration.

Anyhow, I won't dissect the whole letter and survey, but I will end with the last question asked on the "survey":

"Will you join the Republican National Committee by making a contribution today?
      *Yes, I support the RNC and am enclosing my most generous contribution of"
          -($500, $250, $100, $50, $25, Other $_______)
      "*Yes, I support the RNC, but I am unable to participate at this time.  however
      I have enclosed $11 to cover the cost of tabulating my survey.
      *No, I favor electing liberal democrats over the next 10 years."

I don't know what's more funny here: the fact that not giving money implies you WANT a liberal democrat in office, or the fact that these seasoned politicians spent $11 just to send me a survey and have it tabulated. Perhaps the latter has something to do with our economy woes?

Anyhow, I'm not ruling out voting for McCain, but I have to say this letter was definitely worth the comic relief it provided me. Thanks to the RNC for spending the $11 just to make me laugh.

(Oh, and Rob, if you want to send me a check I will send it in with my form. I know how important this is to you ;-) )
