“Membership Expired”

When the Mr brought in the mail yesterday, it turns out I got a real interesting letter.  It turns out my membership in the RNC has expired.  Noooooooo……really??????  DUH!  I suppose it’s because I have not sent them any money in 4 years?  Not a dime!  I did however send one of the gimme money’s back, sans check, with a nice little note:  “You start acting like Reagan Republicans again, I MIGHT consider sending money!  Until then, take me off your mailing list!”

Well, they did stop sending me requests for money, and all the little trinkets, for a while.  Now, it seems, they’ve found me again.  sigh….

I will send money to individual candidates, but I will NOT send a farthing to the Republican National Committee!  Needless to say, they have been a great disappointment to a good chunk of folks around the country.

When they pulled support for Tim Michels back in 2004 in the Wisconsin senator’s race against Feingold right before the election, I knew they were screwing over the voters.  Told ‘em that in my little note too!  When they forced McCain on us, I lost any desire to be associated with such a feckless Party.

Nope!  You can leave me as “expired” member.  As far as I’m concerned, y’all are expired!  I’ll send some money to McCain, but only because I can’t stand the idea of B. Hussein in the White House.
