Draft Haley Gains Momentum

The RNC is polling to see just how racist and sexist they can get during this election season without crossing the line. Seriously.

From Politico:

The Republican National Committee has commissioned polling and focus groups to determine the boundaries of attacking a minority or female candidate, according to people involved. The secretive effort underscores the enormous risk senior GOP operatives see for a party often criticized for its insensitivity to minorities in campaigns dating back to the 1960s.
I say FULL SPEED AHEAD!! Set the controls for the heart of the sun and go down swinging, baby! Goldwater would be so proud.

    Do a little research on Goldwater. There are better examples for you to use. Goldwater wasn't a bad guy. In fact, he and JFK were friends. They believed in different things, but were very civil to each other. I suspect neither would approve of the topic of this post or your negative reference to AuH20.
    Read about Goldwater's libertarian views, very interesting. He truly was a conservative, not to be compared to a modern day conservative.

  2. AuH2O? Really?

    Man, that's weird.

    Do you suspect he would approve of being referred to by periodic table shorthand?

    Funny, AuH20 was a part of his campaign slogan. Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

  4. How many 5th graders know Goldwater's campaign slogan?

    And what the hell is the matter with those kids?

  5. Really RPP. How old would that "5th grader" have to be to know much of anything about Goldwater?

    This unfortunately isn't generating the interest we want/need it to. I signed the thing 2 weeks ago and was number 172; it's only up to 554 signatures now. Do your part for Mississippi and sign it.
