'The GOP Speaks' - blogger surveys local GOP officials to find out what Republicans think

http://thegopspeaks.blogspot.com/

A blog by Conor Friedersdorf.

You've followed the national debate within the Republican Party about the political tactics it ought to use in an effort to better the country, retake Congress and challenge President Obama for the White House in 2012. But what do Republicans at the local level think?

To find out, I've started e-mailing a questionnaire to various Republican Party County Chairmen -- ultimately I hope to reach them all. This is quite time consuming, so if you find the information on this site useful, or think this is a worthwhile project, please hit the donate button on the side of the page. I'll consider doing other stuff like this in the future if I end up being compensated for it.

I've only sent e-mails to folks listed on an official GOP home page as a state chairman, a county chairman, a county vice-chairman, or a member of the county executive committee.

The responses are reprinted exactly as they arrived in my In-box.

1. they're probably running low on Republicans who served in Vietnam ...

so that when a democrat says something true about them, they can scream that the Democrat hates the troops ...

Seems to me like John McCain was one of their last gasps on that ploy ... and he was the son (and grandson) of highly placed military, thought he got a cushy job ... until he got shot down ... remember how John Kerry's kill in the event which earned him a medal was turned into "shooting an unarmed fleeing person in the back and then inflating the situation"? (Ironically, one of the Kerry detractors got himself a medal using the exact same event ...)

2. The words "Republican" and "think" are mutually exclusive.

Ne'er the twain shall meet.
