Rinky said he&#8217;s really intrigued with the political advantages for the GOP of awarding electoral votes on the basis of Congressional Districts in <em>Democratic dominant states<\/em>. Its perfectly legal. Tiny Maine has been awarding its three electoral votes this way since before I was in high school.  All states have been free to do this since day one of the Constitution.  I haven&#8217;t heard Rinky Dink enthusing about this entirely legal change for Texas, however.<\/p>\n<p>At his reelection he stressed that the GOP just was running out of voters willing to let them stay in charge of the federal government. He acknowledged that the GOP&#8217;s tactic of extending a middle finger to gays, immigrants, funny colored people, baby killers, those suffering from vaginas, as well as cripples and people who don&#8217;t like Ann Coulter just wasn&#8217;t working. I didn&#8217;t hear everything he said but presume he did not stress the Party&#8217;s desperate measures to jail potential Democratic voters and force others to stand in line for hours on end outdoors before being allowed to vote. <\/p>\n<p>Sharon Day who was reelected his co-chair wittily said she would talk to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&#038;rct=j&#038;q=&#038;esrc=s&#038;source=web&#038;cd=3&#038;cad=rja&#038;sqi=2&#038;ved=0CEYQFjAC&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2Fm%2FblogEntry%3Fid%3D18317679%26sid%3D77%26cid%3D77%26ts%3Dtrue&#038;ei=SOkDUaiSLcPEyQGSjYCADQ&#038;usg=AFQjCNEHQcsTxsp-IjGbLpWcef2aOWpImQ&#038;sig2=vRPeLBVqQ2ZpSt2TOnBJbQ\">head of lettuc<\/a>e if it could get the  party more votes. She did not mention her interest in having their buyers casting votes for lettuce heads after having them registered as &#8220;heads of household.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It must be a terrible cross to bear for today&#8217;s GOP that some white people still vote for Democrats. Don&#8217;t these people realize that by doing so they are every bit the race traitors that the so called &#8220;Freedom Riders&#8221; were when they tried to impose interracial busses on the Deep South back in the 1960&#8217;s? Thank God there are a couple suck up blacks like the wife cheating, pizza guy that the GOP can hide behind for the purposes of establishing plausible deniability.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a little uncomfortable writing like this.  My going on ad nauseum about the putrescence of the Party in unproofread blog posts won&#8217;t exactly ease my reintegration into the GOP should I really attempt it. I don&#8217;t even think they would welcome me as a head of lettuce. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rinky Dink Prius was just reelected to be the Chair of the National Republican Party.
