RNC release Empowering 'WHITE' Women videos

They should call this, Empowering White Women.

Lord, this press release is a joke, but see it for yourself

Today the Republican National Committee (RNC) released a video series entitled “Empowering Women,” highlighting several women leading the Republican party and celebrating the culmination of Women’s History Month.

The series focuses on the challenges and accomplishments women in the GOP have faced, and the advice they would give to the next generation of Republican women. The videos feature Kellyanne Conway, Linda McMahon, Congressman Marsha Blackburn, RNC Chief of Staff Sara Armstrong, and RNC Chief Operating Officer Maggie Boyd.

“For years the Republican party has worked to elevate the brightest and most talented minds to leadership roles, and these impressive women represent that success,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

“We are committed to working together to engage, educate, and empower women, and to use our voices to drive the conversation as we embrace the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of our country.”

This Christmas Message from the RNC

From the RNC

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chair Sharon Day released the following statement celebrating Christmas:

“Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends.

“Even as we celebrate, we must also remember those among us who are less fortunate. Many on this day are without hope, and need the kindness and compassion of those around them. It is our prayer we will rise to meet the material, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals all around us, and what better day is there to love our fellow man than today?

“As we open presents, enjoy Christmas dinner, and celebrate our own family traditions, we are mindful of our men and women in uniform. Many are stationed around the world today protecting our freedoms, and cannot be with their own spouses, children, parents, and siblings. We express the deepest gratitude for service that takes them away from celebrating with loved ones, and we ought to remember them in our thoughts and prayers not just on Christmas Day, but the whole year round.”

Bloop! DNC files motion against RNC over Intimidation of Minority Voters

This is some tea.

For a while, Donald Trump has been telling his legion to watch folks at the polls, mostly in areas with lots of people of color. Then, the DNC jumped in and found enough evidence that Trump was up to no good. So now, they are coming for his ass.

The DNC is asking a federal court to hold the RNC in contempt of court for allegedly violating a decades-old consent decree limiting so-called "ballot security" activities at poll places.

Here's more:

The Democrats' filing Wednesday, among other things, ask that the consent decree -- which is set to expire Dec. 17 -- be extended for another eight years. The DNC is also asking the court to block any coordination between Trump and the RNC as it relates to Election Day poll monitoring activities that many fear will amount to voter intimidation.

The legal move by the DNC comes in response to Donald Trump's calls for vigilante "poll watchers" to come out in force nationwide on Election Day. The RNC had hoped to be freed from the consent decree as soon as next year, and Trump's actions now threaten to hobble the GOP for nearly another decade, if Democrats have their way.

As Trump has amped up his rhetoric claiming a "rigged elections" and urged his supporters "go over and watch" voting sites in "certain areas, the RNC has tried desperately to distance itself from the campaign's poll monitors efforts, given the consent decree. But Trump campaign hasn't made that easy. Wednesday's filing cites comments made by Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN), Trump's running mate, at a town hall event and by Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, to the Washington Post suggesting collaboration with the RNC on anti-voter fraud activities.

(Conway later told the Washington Post she was mistaken and the RNC at the time also denied collaboration).

"Although certain RNC officials have attempted to distance themselves from some of the Trump campaign’s more recent statements, there is now ample evidence that Trump has enjoyed the direct and tacit support of the RNC in its 'ballot security' endeavors, including the RNC’s collaboration on efforts to prevent this supposed 'rigging' and 'voter fraud,'" the DNC's court filing said.

The filing also points to the activities of state party leaders who are also members of the RNC that appeared to be inspired by Trump's comments. The Pennsylvania GOP -- led by chair Robert Gleason, also an RNC member -- recently sued to allow for poll watchers to monitor voting sites outside their own precinct, which is currently prohibited by state law. Michigan Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, an RNC member, said last week that the party's attorneys were preparing "a massive statewide anti-voter fraud effort."

It's about to get bad for Trump, and I'm excited about it.

Is Porn a Public Health Crisis?

According to the RNC, porn is dangerous. In their little platform, describe porn as this:

“Pornography, with his harmful effects, especially on children, has become a public health crisis that is destroying the life of millions. We encourage states to continue to fight this public menace and pledge our commitment to children’s safety and wellbeing.”

Sure, Jan.

It's fantasy and a part of our everyday thoughts. I don't see it as a health crisis, but what do I know.

What do y'all think?

RNC loses their Marbles with 'I Miss W.' T-Shirts

The Republican National Committee must be drunk.

To celebrate President George W. Bush's birthday, they are selling T-shirts saying "I Miss W."

Then, they had the nerve to post:

"President George W. Bush led our nation through some of the most challenging moments of our nation’s history — and we miss him and his leadership. By sporting this comfortable, classic, American-made tee, you can share our message and help us elect principled conservative leaders to office."

News Flash! Unless you are completely insane, nobody misses Bush. He helped ruin our name and our country. Seriously, he's the one of the worst presidents ever.

Thanks for the laugh RNC.

Interesting Tweet: RNC Unanimously Reaffirmed their Opposition to Marriage Equality

RNC members just unanimously approved 12 resolutions, including one that re-affirms party's opposition to same-sex marriage.

No, they haven't changed. Same old mess, same old bigotry

RNC to Vote on One Man, One Woman Marriage Resolution this Weekend

Remember when RNC was going to be more inclusive and all that jazz? Well, scratch that out.

This weekend the RNC will be in my town discussing their goals and crap like that. And in their set of proposals, they are voting to support One Man and One Woman marriage, see here:

At the meeting, a group of state party leaders is expected to submit a set of proposals to the RNC's Resolution Committee that aim to "re-affirm conservative principles." One in particular will take the temperature of the party's opposition to same-sex marriage. (The official Republican platform, which was approved at the national convention in August, calls for a constitutional amendment that would effectively ban same-sex marriage.) 

According to the text of a marriage resolution, which was acquired by Yahoo News, the RNC panel will vote on a resolution stating, "[T]he Republican National Committee affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America; and be it further resolved, the Republican National Committee implores the U. S. Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on California’s Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act."

If they approve this mess, the whole inclusive talk was just nothing but chit-chatter. Let's hope they come to their senses.

Mess! RNC attendee allegedly Threw Nuts at a Black CNN Camerawoman and said ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’

You knew foolishness was just around the corner at RNC convention. According to several sources, a RNC attendee allegedly threw nuts at a black camerawoman working for CNN and said to her, “This is how we feed animals".

This fool was thrown out of the convention.

TPM has more of the info, kind of:

The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”

It is not clear whether the alleged culprit was a delegate or attending the convention in some other capacity.

In a written statement, CNN addressed the matter but divulged few details: “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”

That camerawoman should have threw that camera at that guy... I would've.

Ron Paul doesn't fully endorse Mitt Romney

Ron Paul was asked to speak in RNC convention, but quickly turned them down. Why? Well, they wanted him to play by their rules, but in all, he doesn't really care for Mittens.

The NYT reports:

Mr. Paul, in an interview, said convention planners had offered him an opportunity to speak under two conditions: that he deliver remarks vetted by the Romney campaign, and that he give a full-fledged endorsement of Mr. Romney. He declined.

“It wouldn’t be my speech,” Mr. Paul said. “That would undo everything I’ve done in the last 30 years. I don’t fully endorse him for president.” 

I'm hoping for his folks to disrupt the convention.

HRC's Ad showcasing Republicans for Marriage Equality

Republican National Convention 2012 loses a Day

The RNC convention is on pause kinda. Due to the storms, the event lose a day.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus issued a statement about yesterday:

"Due to the severe weather reports for the Tampa Bay area, the Republican National Convention will convene on Monday August 27th and immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, August 28th. After consulting with Governor Scott, NOAA and local emergency management officials, we are optimistic that we will begin an exciting, robust convention that will nominate the Romney-Ryan ticket."

I guess the bathhouses will be packed.

10 Reasons God brought tropical storm Isaac upon the Republican National Convention

Since the tropical storm could actually shut down the RNC convention, I thought it would be fun to make up a game about why this is happening.

So let's play, 10 Reasons God brought tropical storm Isaac upon the Republican National Convention

1. Sarah Palin is coming, even though she's not speaking.
2. Michele and Marcus Bachmann were not invited.
3. Rape is Rape.
4. Rick Santorum was HIS choice.
5. The food committee picked 5 Guys over Chick-Fil-A.
6. HE didn't create Mormonism.
7. Too many closeted gays in the GOP.
8. Donald Trump was invited.
9. Paul Ryan is Rosemary's Baby.
10. Arizona was not the picked to hold the convention.

The Trump to play a Surprise Role at the RNC

The Dump Trump will play a surprise role at the RNC next week. According to Politico, Donald will be making headlines with his role:

Trump has generated some buzz with recent posts on Twitter saying he was planning a “big surprise” at the convention next week. But for the first time sources are confirming Republicans will indeed enlist Trump to be part of their opening day act.

Trump’s appearance will come on a day with a theme titled, “We Can Do Better,” which appears likely to amount to a coordinated attack on Obama’s time in office.

“We are going after Obama,” said Kyle Downey, a convention spokesman. “If he doesn’t want to talk about his failed record, we will. The American people expect and deserve better.”

Good, RNC. Bring the person that has tarnished your brand and made a mockery of the presidential candidate process.

See how well that will go over for you.

RNC uses their Website to Attack President Obama on LGBT Issues

Within hours of President Obama's reelection announcement, the RNC wasted no time in slamming him, especially for his LGBT support.

Metro Weekly reports:

"Hope Isn't Hiring," a new site launched by the RNC includes a page of talking points on social issues, taking aim several times at Obama's record on LGBT equality.

Among the topics are "Despite It Being The Law Of The Land, Obama Refused To Continue To Defend The Defense Of Marriage Act In Court"; "Obama Repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell While U.S. Troops Are Still On The Battlefield"; and "Obama Opposed California's Prop 8 And Has Expanded Government Recognition Of Same-Sex Couples."

Regarding the government recognition of same-sex couples, the RNC specifically targets hospital visitation rights, noting "Obama Issued An Executive Order Allowing Same Sex Couples Hospital Visitation Rights."

The RNC also claims in that section of the new site that "Obama Has Been Acting On Policy Recommendations From The Human Rights Campaign Since Taking Office."

Here are some of their highlights

Pure Mess!

RNC Michael Steele discuss Spending, Stippers and Race

This is how RNC's Michael Steele spends your money

Lord, Michael. You should have known this was a dumb move, besides being Black and in the RNC, but I digress.

Anywho, look at this fool's lavish spending habits:

While Steele has not purchased a plane, he continues to charter them. According to federal disclosure records, the RNC spent $17,514 on private aircraft in the month of February alone (as well as $12,691 on limousines during the same period). There are no readily identifiable private plane expenses for Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine in the DNC’s last three months of filings.

The RNC explains that Steele charters jets only when commercial service is unavailable, or when his tight schedule requires it. “Anytime the chairman has taken any private travel has been a either to a route that doesn’t exist or because of connections and multiple travel to where he just wasn’t able to do so,” Heye said. Yet Steele’s office repeatedly refused to explain in specific terms the circumstances of the February charter flights.

Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent [update: the amount is actually $1,946.25] at Voyeur West Hollywood, a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex.

RNC trips to other cities produced bills from a long list of chic and costly hotels such as the Venetian and the M Resort in Las Vegas, and the W (for a total of $19,443) in Washington. A midwinter trip to Hawaii cost the RNC $43,828, not including airfare.

Strip clubs, Vegas, Lesbian Sex... Those are values I can believe in.
