One Guy's Viewpoint

It's For You. The Republican Party's Calling.

The other evening I received a phone call from the Republican party. From the voice I seemed to be speaking with a black woman. (Interesting.) Anyway, she wanted money, seventy-five bucks at a minimum, but a hundred or more would certainly be better. By way of justification she had already enumerated the horrors being foisted upon us by Obama and the Democrats. She was shocked, shocked to learn I wasn't going to pledge any money. While I agree with everything you say about BHO and his bunch, I explained, you all, Bush, Cheney and Powell in particular, lied us into two useless, pointless, enhdless and very expensive wars. This is a big reason we're in the dire financial straits we're now in. Then too, while O's so-called stimulus has done next to no good, I told her that I seemed to remember that Bush earlier championed one about the same size.

And her reply was, "Bush is gone now." But, she continued, "We've got a lot of good, strong conservative candidates and they really need your support." I started to say, "Name two." But, instead, I just concluded by saying, like her I hated the ground this bunch of Dems walked on, but the Republicans had a lot to prove before I gave them any money.

I was relaying all this to our real estate agent in Alvin the next day when I mada a call to her. She said her husband has received a similar call, and he told them they weren't getting one cent from him until they showed they would "stand up and fight for us." Well, he sure had them there.

There seem to be a lot of these calls going around. Hopefully, they are getting a lot of similar answers.

Have they hunted you down yet?
