Jen’s April Fool’s Day Entry

**In addition to this entry, I also altered my CSS file to give me a red, white, and blue site. I put a BlogsforBush button on and I had this image as my header. **

I know that this is hardly the day to announce it but…

I’m joining the GOP.

I have contacted my county registrar and asked for a new voter registration card. I will change my political affiliation to Republican and fight to bring Bush’s popularity up in this area, which is full of farmers whining about why they aren’t getting any of Bush’s tax cuts despite the fact that they grow most of his food.

Minnesota has a Republican governor who has done great things to try and bring civility to this state as Bush brought to the state of Texas. There is talk of instituting a death penalty, especially for people like the killer of Dru Sjodin and they are trying to get huge stadiums built for the Twins and the Vikings. There is also talk of an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage.

I am also just fed up of compromising my morals to fit in with the Democratic Party. I’m sick of having to be silent while people protest the gay marriage ban, being villified because I actually am sort of pro-life, and hearing that my party is Satan’s cubbyhole. Jesus seems to have chosen the Republicans, so I guess I should be going in that direction.

I am starting a committee with some of the people in my neighborhood to have a klub supper at the VFW to fundraise for the Bush-Cheney campaign. I’d do lutefisk but I don’t think most people are going to pay $100 for the privilege of eating “fish jello”. If you are interested in helping, email me.

GOP Foolishness

GOP challenges anti-Bush ads

This shows the GOP’s ignorance about what these groups actually are. They are groups that try to raise advocacy for issues that aren’t on Bush’s agenda. I have not had one mailing from MoveOn ask me to donate money to the Democrats. It’s usually something along the lines of “sign this petition to raise mercury poisoning awareness” or “censure Bush for lying about WMD’s”. The one time they did ask for money to be raised, it was for an ad during the SuperBowl campaign criticizing Bush’s tax cuts. It wasn’t a tacit approval for any party (since a lot of MoveOn members are third party voters) — it was a complaint against a move that they thought was unwise and was going to be harmful for future generations.

RightMarch.Com, the Republican answer to MoveOn.Org, *IS* collecting money for campaigns. Ironic that the GOP attacks the groups who criticize Bush and wrongfully accuse them of illegal fund collection when their PAC is engaging in the practices they are complaining about.

The GOP is even trying to cheat using the FEC. They want the FEC to quickly consider their complaint and then dismiss it so that they can proceed in federal court. Uh yeah… if you’re going to involve the FEC, you need to go through ALL the protocols and not go for quickie justice. What’s the point of going to them if you aren’t committing to a full investigation?

I’m thinking the GOP is getting real scared by groups that have a whole lot less money than they do…
