I got a fundraising call from the RNC yesterday. I told them - in so many words - to *$%k off.
They stood by and watched as the media and Democrats crucified Palin, then Bachman, then Cain.
The RNC is clueless, and I despise the Republican party elite right about now.
I’ve done the exact same thing. Where was the GOP when the media was lying about the “wardrobe” incident? Where were they with any help or sympathy when her church was burned? Or when there was a coordinated Democratic attempt to actually BANKRUPT her and her family? Or when slimeball Hollywood cretins were making “rape” jokes about her 13-year-old daughter? Or when the whole national newsmedia was blaming her for being complicit in mass-murder in Tucson? Good lord! And to think of all the efforts she put in for them during the mid-term elections. The cowardly GOP never lifted a single finger to help her. Heck, they piled on themselves, more often than not.
I’ve exclusively voted and supported the Republican Party my entire voting life, never deviating even once. I’ve watched every RNC convention since the Seventies. Now, after witnessing the GOP’s three years of disgraceful treatment towards Palin, I don’t have the slightest bit of affection or allegiance towards the Party. I no longer give a single, solitary damn about them. I could vote 3rd-Party now at the drop of a hat, without the slightest qualm. That’s the level of disgust and disrespect I now feel towards them. Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicted having such attitudes just a few short years ago.
