Great picture and great comment thank you.

We will give a damn and make a difference. Hopefully this is something underhanded and untrue but still better to know and discuss than to avoid.

Some things should not have hard copies made

Or even thought of let alone acted on.

Doesn’t make sense. Why are reid & pelosi puritans?

This is some kind of setup.

The 72-page document was provided to POLITICO by a Democrat, who said a hard copy had been left in the hotel hosting the $2,500-a-head retreat, the Gasparilla Inn & Club.

Amazing how democrats seem to luck into this sort of thing,
like over hearing cell phone conversations etc.

Why are you buying into this report? It’s rumormongering without any legit sourcing.

The RNC’s “Young Eagles” – younger major donors and the only group, according to a major donor, continuing to pull its weight financially – are invited to a “professional bull riding event” in October, expected to raise $50,000, and to a no-holds-barred Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Las Vegas the same month, expected to raise $60,000.

Fifty or sixty thousand? Piffle.

Obama makes that much each time a brown shoed DU square
drops off a brown paper bag at the White house in the
dead of night.

Ooooh...that was scary and fearful! I am running into my bomb shelter right now.

What a joke.

It happens all the time in the corporate world. People leave extra copies of their presentation in a conference room and nobody thinks to collect the extras, just assume the hotel staff will throw it out.

Bah—Politico just wants to distract from the Dem’s troubles. No story here. If this guy was a real reporter, we’d know about Center for American Progress’s money trails.

The Politico article contains a link to the 72 page (PowerPoint) presentation which may be downloaded as a (PDF) file.

Stay on target: Democrats and liberals ARE the enemy.

If true, we will deal with Repubs later, after we sweep out the commie trash in 11-2010.

This smells like a Dem psyops plant to me. NOBODY is THIS stupid in the GOP...at least I hope not.

I am not buying into it but should we not be aware of what is being reported and getting to the truth.

Granted posting this may legitimize it but still, I am for truth.

I find this odd, did a democrat set this up? Did Politico follow good journalistic techniques sourcing the story?

I am not trying to give it street cred but I am not sure sticking my head in the sand is the right choice but it is curious how this all fell into the hands of dem’s and than Politico.

I don’t mind them either, it’s just sometimes they try to blow things out of proportion (especially Ben Smith) when there really is no underlying story.

so now that we know the basic psychology of fundraising and are so repulsed, does politico and the democratic party think we will now turn to obama, pelosi, reid, et al. and give them another term? don’t make me laugh! politico is simply celebrating their in-depth reporting(dumpster diving)without a clue as to how little this matters to those who despise the democrats.

I have come to detest the Politico. It is just a knee jerk reaction for me now...:)

This President and the democrat party are appalling. Obama is out and out lying and dissembling to our faces, and is not even concerned about it.

On February 19th (I think) he talked about how important Pay-Go is, and how terrible it is to pass legislation without cutting from somewhere else, spending money we don’t have...blah blah blah.

So Senator Bunning stands up and says we should take money from the slush-fund/stimulus bill and put it towards that, and the liberals blow a fuse. See his opinion on this he wrote for USA Today (I can’t stand it either, but I can’t post it here due to copyright...) at http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2010/03/column-why-i-took-a-stand-.html

They don’t care that we can read what they said only a couple of weeks ago and even play video showing their lips moving. They don’t care. They have found that they can tell baldfaced lies and nobody calls them on it.

The .pdf was created at 8:45pm last night and modified at 2:00pm today, for an event that occurred February 18th. The only significant security retriction is document assembly, meaning the "finder" could have added re-written pages.

The RNC should disown this document and sue Politico for defamation.

Will he? He won't.

A very good friend of mine has been screaming about the march toward socialism in this country for years. And while I agreed with most of what he was saying, I didn’t think we were as close to the brink as we have come since the Unholy Triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi and Reid started their revenge tour on the American People. We better all hope and pray that the Lies and the Arrogance of the Democrats are comin’ home to roost and that Judgment Day is coming in November.
P.S. I LOVE THE GRAPHIC!

I stole that from another freeper...:)

Is it too late to steer our country away from the cliff that Obama and his ilk seem determined to drive it over? I don’t know. I vacillate between optimism and despair in this respect.

The jury is still out...
