My subscription to Townhall
I have a subscription to the Townhall email updates. I got them when I responded to some Bobby Jindal post they had.
Well, the townhall email I got in my inbox today was just bizarre. They want to defeat Obama with “shock and awe” (it doesn’t seem to be working as of yet, considering MSNBC shows Obama with 260+ electoral votes with many swing states in the balance).
Most of the scare tactics they use are TRT, (Typical Republican Tactics). This one is the “Obama is supported by scary person X so therefore he MUST be bad”. You know, the same kind of argument that the religious right uses against evolution (Hitler supported evolution so it must be wrong).
But one of these claims are just bizarre. In asking you to donate $5000 to their PAC, they bring up Obama’s fiscal policies and how much money you might lose.
Stop and think how much Obama may cost you and your family in new taxes over the next four years alone: $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 or even more.
Who in the hell are they targeting with this email? They really expect people to lose $100,000 in the next 4 years under Obama? I wonder how much you would have to actually make to lose $25,000 a year under Obama’s tax plans.
I calculated my taxes under both candidates and my taxes are less under Obama than they are under McCain. So I guess they are not targeting me with this email. And I know I cannot afford to donate $5,000 to any candidate. But it has become clear that the Republican party is desperate. They will go to any lengths to win. Country first? Ha! Party first to them, Country is only a priority to them when convenient. At the moment, it is victory firs, whatever the cost. (And it seems the first thing to go was integrity).
