I can do the math, so can the RNC.
I don’t have the time nor the inclination go into detail the reasons (not that they would be listened to anyway) why this effort, while well intentioned, has little chance of success. Suffice it to say, IMO, it is ill conceived and ill executed.
For an effort like this to be effective the leaders first need an understanding of how modern politics and political parties operate, which I don’t think you have.
Second, it has to be well defined with realistic strategies and empirical goals (which then can be translated to your intended targets), which you haven’t done.
Third, your threats have to be believed and in that case it means of a list of known donors who do so regularly in significant amounts which can be verified through donation records. You’re basing your effort from an internet website that has the reputation of being a bastion of anti-government, anti-GOP, 3rd party malcontents and rabble rousers, not reliable, reasonable, well heeled party supporters.
Your letters will be discarded into the round file. At best, their measly numbers may be included in the weekly summary of thousands of letters of correspondence the RNC receives and filed under the sub category “RINO Screamers”.
That should be a start for you.
“For an effort like this to be effective the leaders first need an understanding of how modern politics and political parties operate, which I don’t think you have.”
You are certainly entitled to your “opinion,” but I find myself more than slightly surprised that you seem to know how I think, let alone WHAT I know, and beyond that WHO I know.
“Second, it has to be well defined with realistic strategies and empirical goals (which then can be translated to your intended targets), which you haven’t done.”
And you now claim to know my strategy, which you don’t. You claim there isn’t an endgame, which there is. And you also “think” there is not an intended target, which there is. You can’t start a fire without a spark. We are just starting.
“Third, your threats have to be believed and in that case it means of a list of known donors who do so regularly in significant amounts which can be verified through donation records.”
Hellooo??? Every single person on this board who receives a RNC membership card has donated something or they wouldn’t be on the RNC begging list. And at the risk of being redundant, you don’t know who I know. Furthermore, you don’t know who some of the other people on this board know, NOR do you know who might just show up because of this.
Either you are taking an awful lot for granted, or you are being contrarian for its own sake which isn’t very becoming of you.
“You’re basing your effort from an internet website that has the reputation of being a bastion of anti-government, anti-GOP, 3rd party malcontents and rabble rousers, not reliable, reasonable, well heeled party supporters.”
So!!! And where, I, in my so-called “ignorance” might ask, did THAT reputation come from, Bob?
And WHY, in my so-called “ignorance” might I ask, would you object if we improve that “reputation” to become a serious political force to be reckoned with?
See, I don’t understand why you seem to have it in for everything Jim Robinson is for. Don’t you want Free Republic to be more than YOU claim it is? And IF not, WHY not?
THAT is the question.
