My Email Turns Republicans Into Conservatives
breitbart.com ^ | 9/16/14 | Mike Flynn

For the past several weeks, a group calling itself the "NRSC" has been inundating my inbox, warning that Obama was about to "grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants." I could combat this by donating money to ensure the Republicans win control of the Senate. Apparently, this "NRSC" is the National Republican Senatorial Committee, a pillar of the same GOP establishment that previously spent that past year and a half trying to pass amnesty under the guise of "comprehensive immigration reform." I must have a new email filter that turns even Republicans in Washington into conservatives.

In the months following the 2012 election, the NRSC and its allies in the Chamber and on K Street have loudly told the press they would fight conservatives in primaries. No longer would they let conservatives dictate the policy debate in Washington. A consultant tied to the NRSC even poked fun at conservatives in one state for not basing their primary vote on the candidate who can obtain the most federal pork.

This new NRSC occupying my inbox, however, rails against Obama's progressive policies, his crony allies and "Hollywood billionaires" try to prop up a Democrat Senate. For just a donation of $1, I can be treated to a stream of rhetoric and priorities sadly lacking the rest of the year. If I give NRSC a donation at a certain time, they will match my donation three or four times over from their own funds. How that math works apparently wasn't covered in my college classes.

The final paragraph. Priceless!

"So, sadly, my inbox doesn't have any permanent magic to make Republicans into conservatives. Its just a quirk of the calendar. Just as Democrats shed their Progressive skin and fall in love with skeet shooting or scream that the 8-hour workday is about to be repealed, Republicans remember that they need conservatives to enjoy all the trappings DC has to offer.

It is nice while it lasts."

Amazing, isn’t it?
And right after the election, they tell us to kiss off.

Of course, in the Thad Cochran primary they showed their real faces..
