GOP can’t buy much for $100!

Man, these guys need to learn to pander. You can’t buy much for $100. I am originally from Louisiana. I have stated many times something I heard in a Louisiana History class; “most states tolerate corruption, Louisiana demands it”. So why didn’t the GOP find an old-timey political boss from Louisiana and learn how to buy people off.

First of all the math is all wrong. I have a small truck. It costs me $30 to fill up and I fill up once every two weeks. So I spend $15 per week on gas. An official from the Administration said these high gas prices could be around for three years. So why low-ball me by giving me $100. It needs to be more like $2340. That’s how much I will spend in three years at the present cost. We can revisit the money if the prices rise. But don’t play me for being stupid. I might be kind of stupid, but I ain’t that stupid.

Then the GOP needs to learn to use props when they suggest a program such as this. Go on site and give us some dramtic footage of what you mean to do. Like, show up at the bank and have a few Congressman and Senators giving out money to people who pass buy. Explain to the world that this will be you in a very short time. Don’t let the Democrats gain all the leverage on the issue. The GOP has the upper hand here. The Democrats don’t have any money to give away for such a program. They use their money to keep their base in line.

Also explain the program in terms we all can understand. Don’t give us this “you have to pay taxes to get some money back”. What kind of program is that? Just give the money to everyone. Make sure you are seen advocating giving it away to people who don’t pay taxes at all. Be fair to all Americans.

Make sure Rush Limbaugh is your point man. He might be a little high, but even being high he’s a good man to have on your side. He can reach a lot of people. If he has any of those pills left over maybe they can be sold for extra money to give away also.

Take pages out of the Democratic playbook, but not from recently. Go back about 50 years and try some of those tactics. It worked for a lot of years for them. I don’t see why it can’t work now.

And most of all; try to look concerned. This is poor America here who is getting raped by big and bigger oil. When you get on TV have that “look”. The “look” is one like Bill Clinton would have when he spoke of poor people, or Chuck Schumer when he panders to his base. Look pained. Look like you have constipation. Sit and stand in a strain.

Come on GOP. If you are going to pander to us voters learn to play the game. I am a bit insulted by $100 and I am a good Republican. Up the ante a bit. Promote your agenda using props. Make sure we all get a piece of the action. Hire a good point man. Steal plays from the other team. And most important of all, look like you are concerned. After all, it’s my money you need to give back to me.
