GOP brochure: a Dem White House = very scary

"If the Democrats win the White House this November...American will be unrecognizable.'' That's the headline that blares across a new Republican Party of Florida voter registration brochure being mailed out to Floridians across the state.

The theme of the brochure includes nothing positive or warm and fuzzy about the GOP but, as a harbinger of the negative tone of this campaign season, the Republican Party mailer is a predicably filled with scare tactics. For example, if Obama wins the White House he will:

"put the safety and security of Americans at risk both abroad and here at home....businesses will face greater bureaucratic regulations...The tax and spend Democrat machine in Washington will continue spending at alarming rates...Floridians will be forced into a system of socialized medicine...and (liberals will be) creating special rights for special interest groups.''

GOP Chairman Jim Greer wouldn't explain what he means by "special interest groups" but it's clear it's code. The problem is, he conveniently leaves us guessing about what that means, but what if we guess wrong? Does he mean gays? muslims? blacks?

Then there's this other little discrepancy about the anti-Washington line: At a media availability with reporters today, McCain's Southeast Regional Director Buzz Jacobs had this criticism of the tax and spending in Washington:

"They sent Republicans to cut spending in government and it didn't get cut,'' he said. Jacobs asserts: "It's a bad time to be a Republican, unless you're John McCain.''  Confused yet? Are you wondering too about all those people the party wants to sign up to be Republicans. Is it a bad time for them too? Download gop_voter_registration_flyer.pdf
