RNC Email: We must be bipartisan, and also stop liberals because they suck serious ass

Greg Sargent flags an email from the RNC that was sent out last night, before the health care summit:

Dear XXXX,

After pledging to listen to Republican ideas at this Thursday's photo op- er, "bipartisan health care summit," President Obama has decided to stick with the Senate Democrats' health care legislation, a bill that Americans have already rejected as a massive restructuring of our economy that is a short walk down the road to government run health care. He's rejected alternative methods of tackling our health insurance crisis before hearing them. He's betrayed the American people's trust.

President Obama's liberal allies on Capitol Hill are going to try to jam this unwanted monstrosity of a bill down your throat. But you're not powerless. You can stop the march of liberalism by signing this petition urging President Obama and his allies to join with Republican leaders to start over on health care reform.

It's time to do away with bills crafted in the dead of night behind closed doors by a team of statist liberals. Instead, we must develop sensible bipartisan legislation that respects individual rights and the Constitution of the United States. It is more important now than ever to send a clear unambiguous message to Washington. Sign the petition today to make your voice heard!

Sincerely,
The GOP Action Team

Wow.  Where to start:

  1. Liberalism totally sucks-we need bipartisanship. The email says that liberalism must be stopped, and also calls for "sensible bipartisan legislation." Apparently, "bipartisan" will exclude all liberals, and deny all of their ideas.

  2. Liberals are ramming something down your throat-but this petition to those same liberals will stop them! The RNC is also using the people who receive this email.  Supposedly, you can stop liberals from ramming something some your throat by sending them a petition.  Yeah, that sounds like it will work.  If you just send a petition to these evil assholes who are destroying the country, they will listen to you.

    More likely, if you sign this petition and tell your friends about it, the RNC will build up its email list and make more money later.

  3. This email was sent out last night, before the health care summit.  It already concluded, before the summit, that the summit was a failure.  Nice.
That's some pretty awesome email.  If you politely tell these communist wankers to stop ramming something down your throat politely, they will stop ramming something down your throat.  Then, we can achieve bipartisan solutions with those same communist wankers.

Oh, and by the way, give us money.

In reality, (0.00 / 0)
it's a sad commentary on things that I would be only mildly surprised if the Democrats wanted to pass some bill, but they got a petition from the RNC, and as a result they no longer wanted to. It's one of those things you think has an about-equal chance of showing up in The Onion as in the Times.

Liberals must be excluded (4.00 / 2)
That is something both parties seem to agree on (unfortunately).  So at least the Republicans are offering bipartisanship on terms acceptable to Democrats.  

Or at least (0.00 / 0)
acceptable to "acceptable" Democrats.

The "unacceptable" kind... not so much.  Not that they matter, anyway (unless it comes time to donate money... or GOTV... or vote, or any of those other incidental things).

"This email was sent out last night, before the health care summit.  It already concluded, before the summit, that the summit was a failure."

What's wrong with that?  Republicans know they have nothing to offer, and that they only want to kill reform.  Now if only our summiteer-in-chief could realize that, too.


Admitting It (4.00 / 1)
Apparently, "bipartisan" will exclude all liberals, and deny all of their ideas.

I guess I've always assumed that this was what was meant by "bipartisanship." What's odd is admitting it. Usually it's only implicit.

Politics is the art of the possible, but that means you have to think about changing what is possible, not that you have to accept it in perpetuity.
