Ken Mehlman Invites us to 'Share Your Thoughts on Our Party'
:nuke:


Dear Loyal Subject,

Nearly a century and a half ago, the United States was divided. With our country's future at stake, Americans turned to a prairie lawyer from Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln, our first Republican President, united the nation after the Civil War, preserving the Union, ending slavery, and opening the door of opportunity to millions.

Every February, we mark the birthday of the Father of our Party - and two other Great American Presidents: George Washington and Ronald Reagan. We also celebrate the bedrock principles of freedom and reform that have been the unshakable pillars of our Republican Party since the Civil War.

As we remember some of our greatest leaders, we're giving you a chance to share your thoughts on Lincoln's legacy and what being a Republican means to you. We'll post some of the responses on GOP.com.

http://www.gop.com/YourThoughts/?s=2

Since Abraham Lincoln, Republicans have been the party of freedom and reform. From breaking the oppressive tyranny of slavery, to Teddy Roosevelt's Trust busting, to Ronald Reagan's leadership that ended the Cold War, to the liberation of fifty million in Iraq and Afghanistan, Republicans have consistently stood for freedom-- and even today, we are putting new reforms that spread freedom into action.

February is also Black History Month - a special chance to remember the courage and sacrifice of other great Americans, and to remember the freedoms Abraham Lincoln helped make possible. We encourage you to read the tribute to these heroes of freedom on our African American Team Web page.

As we celebrate our freedom, click here, and be the one who helps define what it means to be a member of the Party of Lincoln.

Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman
Chairman, Republican National Committee

1. Your party...
seems to have one too many self-hating gay men, hint hint, who suppress what they really are by participating in the anti-gay vitriol of the Reich Wing that dominates your party's policies. Perhaps they need to go the David Brock route and find the light....

2. ROFLMAO
Check out this gem from their "African American Team" page:

From the founding of the Republican Party to today, African Americans have been central to the GOP. The leadership of President George W. Bush provides an opportunity for us to work together and better include everyone of all backgrounds in the Republican Party. Bringing African Americans back to the Party of Lincoln has been a central priority of President Bush, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, and is the mission of the RNC's African American Team Leader Outreach program. Working together with African Americans in communities across the country, we can make the Party of Lincoln stronger and more diverse than ever before.


How that workin' for ya, Ken?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

2%
Now doubt their Fearless Leader would describe that as "turning the corner", "making progress" or "freedom on the march".

12. I read recently that about 6% of all Americans
are too seriously mentally ill to function. That probably explains the 2% of all Black people who support Bush. Those poor people are too disturbed to be responsible for their politics.

5. I can't believe they have the nerve to even MENTION Black History Month.
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 02:16 PM by ocelot
Actually, I can, because they've proved repeatedly that they are completely shameless. But, dammit, the "sacrifices" this assclown refers to became necessary in the first place only because of the actions of racist fucks like them.

And when will they stop pimping out the corpse of Ronald Reagan, or dancing on Abe Lincoln's grave?

9. Does anyone really think the GOP cares about your thoughts?
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 02:30 PM by Olney Blue
These people can turn 51% into a mandate.

Actually, I do have a thought: GO TO HELL, GOP.

That's why they're so desperate to wiretap everybody.
