The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on “fear” of President Barack Obama and a promise to "save the country from trending toward socialism."
The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and “tchochkes.”
While this doesn't come as a shock to me or any liberal/progressive, it's interesting to see conservatives already trying to back-peddle on this.
If it’s a day ending in “Y”, it must be time for a Politico story about the RNC alienating its fundraisers. The good news? Given Obama’s state-by-state approval ratings, if fear of The One’s agenda is the key to big money then the path to November shall be paved with bricks of gold. The bad news? Calling your donors “reactionary” and “ego-driven” isn’t usually the quickest way to their wallets.
But they are ego-driven and reactionary, that's why this sort of campaign works so well for the RNC and conservatives all across the nation.
c&l has the longer version of steele talking to megan kelly, and for the first time in my short attention span for her legs in the camera shot, i was impressed on how she "took him to task"...
ReplyDeletethen i remembered the disdain the right has for steele and i questioned her motive...
still was interesting that fox "news" even covered this at all...
