So somehow I ended up on the GOP.com mailing list. I don't actually recall ever signing up to receive email from them, but it's entirely possible that I did so at some point. I keep getting emails from them (they call me by the wrong name, but that's okay), and today it struck me as interesting how often the folks over there talk about needing my support to secure a Republican victory this fall. The one I got today didn't actually mention any specific issues or candidates. It just reminded me of how important it was that I get out there and support the party.
I'm not sure if I should tell them or not, but I actually don't care if Republicans win this fall, unless of course the other candidates happen to be less qualified, or less trustworthy, or strongly disagree with me on a wide range of issues. I guess I'm not a very good Republican, since I'd actually consider voting for another party, if said party happened to front someone I deemed to be a superior candidate.
But I still like to see people do well. It's my nature. Normally I would charge thousands of dollars an hour to formulate and present the incredible political strategy I'm about to reveal here, for free, but I'm feeling generous today, and also I know no one is reading this anyway, so I can probably still sell it later.
So, GOP, here is the way to absolutely GUARANTEE my vote this fall:
Nominate people of integrity who make good decisions on important issues.
Revolutionary? Maybe. Crazy enough to work? Try it and see.
