The RNC: the Epitome of "Chutzpah"

Look what I got in the mail today:

 

"Past due." PAST DUE????

Gentlemen and ladies (I use those terms out of courtesy only) of the RNC: May I direct your attention to this post and this one as well? To paraphrase a very fine man who was a great Republican, "I didn't leave the [Republican] Party; it left me."

The one and only time I ever gave to the RNC was right after John McCain (RINO-AZ) chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. I was going to vote third party, but the choice of Sarah Palin gave me new hope that perhaps the Republican Party intended to return to its roots of small government, fiscal conservatism, and faithfulness to the Constitution-as-written.

Well. We all know how that turned out. (And Bill Whittle has an excellent video which beautifully and eloquently outlines what I'd like to say about that fiasco!)

And now the RNC and the NRSC continue to follow a failing "strategy" of nominating Republicans in Name Only (or RINO, for those few who aren't already familiar with the term) and ignoring their base with irresponsible and blind abandon. Is it any wonder that they can't seem to win elections any more?

Plus, the chutzpah - the GALL! - of sending me something labeled "past due" as if it were a bill I was obligated to pay...! Oh, and to heap up injury to insult, they sent this after they'd already sent a "final notice" letter (I got it within a few days of the one my blog-brother Michael received)...!

Hey, dudes, just to let you know... Your pleas for more money?

CIRCULAR FILE. UNOPENED.

In other words:

GET... LOST!!!

(UPDATE: Check out Michael's post about his receipt of the same letter... And Cargosquid chimed in in my comments, and made me consider sending the pledge plea letter back to the RNC in shreds - and in their return mail envelope!)

(and, because I'm feeling truly irked, crossposted to Virginia Virtucon)

(And with deep thanks to American Daughter for the linky love!)

Put return to sender on it. Let them pay the postage twice.

Hey, Cargosquid! How the heck are ya? Long time, and all that ;-)

Yeah, that's a good idea - I just might do that little thing... Or, maybe open it up, shred the letter, and send it back in their return postage envelope...

Hm... Possibilities!

I know people who've gotten these "past due" notices from the Republican party. What, so now *we* owe *you?* *YOU* were the one thing standing between us and The Crazy Party getting elected and socializing medecine and spending us into Third World status. You blew that, and now we *owe* you money?

My 401K is practically worthless, and one in ten of me is unemployed. The gaul.. the sense of entitlement from the "organization" that *allowed* all this to happen... is breathtaking.
