How I Spent My RNC Mandated Summer Vacation


http://wepartypatriots.com/wp/2013/07/31/how-i-spent-my-gop-mandated-summer-vacation/



A new Republican National Committee memo has hit the Internet and is drawing unwanted attention. The document acts as a step-by-step guide for GOP congressmen to pretend that they care about the issues affecting the demographics they are failing to reach. There is nothing surprising about this, though it is shocking to see such a thing in great detail.

This August, the GOP wants you to know that they are “Fighting Washington for All Americans” — a message they will drive home with highly coordinated social media and PR campaigns that shift any and all blame for every and anything to the master boogeyman…Barack Obama.

Let’s take a brief look at what the GOP has planned for their collective summer vacay.

To begin, expect to see an op-ed from your local congressman that is cut and pasted from this memo. That’s how you get authenticity across! That is, if your idea of authentic is a rock band announcing, “We love you Cleveland! Best night of tour yet!” — on day 38 of their 60-city tour the day after professing their love for Columbus and a day before letting Buffalo know that they are #1.
