Boy oh boy, if true, how lucky a democrat was in the right place at the "right" time?

Politico has a photo from the power point slide.

Everyone who has ever worked at fund raising knows that you must appeal to the ego.

However, it should be done with a bit more class.

The truth normally does offend many.

I almost have to wonder if the document was created by a Democrat to make the Republicans look bad.....

Sounds like the Democrat Lite party. Lame. Image button pushing.

Smells like a plant to me. Awfully convenient.

I actually would agree to give some thought to that opinion. It is just very odd timing that this got into a democrats hands and than into Politico’s hands.

I like Italian Sausage, do not like to see it made, rather like not wanting to know what goes on behind the scenes of the RNC.

Great comment, thank you.

“The presentation was delivered by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart to top donors and fundraisers at a party retreat in Boca Grande, Florida...
In neat PowerPoint pages...displaying an air of disdain for the party’s donors”

Um, if the document was presented in front of a group of donors, I don’t think they were trying to hide something from donors. Politico, dinosaur media on the Internet.

If true, this doesn’t surprise me. And the sad part is they don’t need tricks and tactics to get donors—large and small—to open their wallets this time around. Look at the fortune Brown raked in. Conservatives know the next few rounds of elections are life and death. The RNC is using old tactics and missing the boat, but that isn’t new.

That is the odd point of this document, I mean the RNC has been under fire and frankly I get it. But, the timing it does make one wonder how this got into a democrats hands.

Of course POLITICO sent this out breaking, I suppose it is a feather in their cap if true, but what a house keeper found it and gave it to a democrat? I mean, I don’t know paper’s being left end up in the hands of a democrat instead of the trash can?

It is very odd to be sure.

I actually like Politco, well as much as one can like any media organization.

You are right, if presented what is the shock value. Unless, it was prep FOR a future mailing and they were working through the kinks and now it is getting out there before the mailing.

No big deal.

I would wager money that the Dummies Power point presentation would make everyone throw up.

None of the big wigs were there, move along nothing to see here.
Big donors have already indicated they are picking candidates to donate to. In two years the RNC may well be in a store front in D.C handing out bumper stickers.

The Politico?

People should damn well be afraid of Barack Obama and a slide towards socialism. All you have to do is look at the abject poverty and dysfunctionality of socialist societies.

People should damn well be afraid of doing nothing.

Some things should not have hard copies made

True, this is really our time to shine and tricks aren’t needed.

Sure, gimicks abound in any election cycle but this just seems to be all about red meat and now if true only give’s the left talking nitwits something to bloviate about ...

Great comment, thank you.

Bummer is scariness incarnated. This strategery should be about as easy as falling off a log.
