Republican Plan for Taking Back the House

The Rush Limbaugh party has a new detailed plan for winning control of the House of Representatives this coming November. They’ll be using a variation of that tired “80/20” cliché.

80% of their strategy will be attacking and sabotaging and derailing and slandering Obama and everything he stands for. This is new???

And the other 20% will consist of — according to the article — “talking up their own ideas.” [rereads sentence] “their own ideas.”

[scratches head] [puzzled facial expression]

And what exactly would “their own ideas” consist of? They’ve contributed absolutely nothing in the past year except lies and threats and more lies. And of course, the “proof” that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

Now I’m not saying this is right, but it feels goooood. More than a hundred contributors to a rightwing website have had their credit card numbers and other personal information leaked. Now now, this isn’t funny.

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Michigan) has received 139 faxes giving the names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card information — and the amount of money donated — on people who have contributed to ExposeObama.com. This website is run by Floyd Brown, who’s also one of the creators of the Willie Horton ad campaign in the 1988 presidential election.

Stupak said: “This apparent breach of personal information could easily lead to these individuals falling victim to identity theft if placed in the wrong hands.”

Couldn’t happen to nicer people.
