RNC Attacks Liberal ‘Haircut Strategy’ as ‘Voter Suppression’
national review online ^ | By Joel Gehrke October 14, 2014 9:49 AM | Joel Gehrke

Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer’s super PAC, Next Gen Climate, wants to implement a “haircut strategy” against Republican campaigns in order to depress conservative turnout.

“Our Republican Haircut Strategy — a precision focus on a specific harm in target Republican markets — we will seek to degrade Republican performance,” a memo from Steyer’s super PAC explains in a memo obtained by Politico that the RNC flagged as a “voter suppression” tactic.

“The election results in many states may be as narrow as a few thousand votes, so we sought to determine whether we could have an impact at the margins of the race by dampening Republican enthusiasm levels,” the memo says.

“Our opinion research has identified issues potentially relevant to Republican voter enthusiasm that have a common denominator — the Republican candidates side with their corporate donors against the tangible interests of Republican voters,” it also says.

“It is disappointing that liberal billionaire Tom Steyer would rather convince people not to vote at all rather than engage in a real policy debate. Of course, if voters knew he was spending millions of dollars on behalf of Democrats to protect his far-left anti-energy policies, they’d lose,” Reince Priebus said in a statement to National Review Online. “So I guess he ran out of better options.”

Wanna really piss off the DU scum?

Ask them why the biggest crooks in the sub-prime scandal (Goldman Sachs) were left unprosecuted by Holder/Obama. Was it because they donated millions to his election?

RE:”Wanna really piss off the DU scum?”

Dems need blacks to turn out to vote this year as they did 95% for Obama in 2012, but with so many Dems incumbents now claiming they never heard of Obama, or that they oppose him, those same blacks don't have much motivation to turn out to vote this year,

Dems always rejoice in our side shooting each other, but now with Obama so unpopular they are in a bind.

Obama is making a campaign trip to various states including Wisconsin. I sure hope it backfires in Wisconsin.

Obama will have his work cut out for him. Maybe he’ll go work for the UN.

So, according to your logic, if one does not support the RNC and all Republicans, one is not Conservative, or somehow working against Conservative Principles?

Tell me again how THAT works?

Just check the 700 post thread from yesterday. After you get through all the liberalism, assuming your sanity is intact, you’ll see how the mind of the Freeper left works.

This is how pathetic the Republican party is: the Democrats are going to attack them for agreeing with the Democrats too much.

While he may not be a Kool-Aid drinking member of the Church of Global Warming, he sees it as a wonderful wealth transfer tool to line his pockets.

He is heavily invested in natural gas and stupidly thinks they won't go after him next after they make coal unaffordable.

They don’t need to do anything. Enough conservatives will stay home because they aren’t willing to accept the 70% solution.
