NRCC Whining
The National Republican Congressional Committee has its panties in a bunch. Apparently, they sent the CD 8 Democratic candidates questionaires. -gasp- They refused to fill them out. I know, it’s very very shocking. I imagine that they probably saw the envelope and assumed that it was more junk mail, I mean, a “personal bulletin and survey” from Elizabeth Dole.
They wanted to know where the Democrats would have voted on several resolutions from the last congressional session. Of course, the candidates didn’t answer. Why the heck would they answer a Republican survey? I mean, only a Democratic candidate who is totally off the rails would answer a survey from the NRCC or do something similarly silly like post to Bill Frist’s PAC’s blog.
One of the bills named was the “Victory in Iraq Resolution (RCV 648)” That one passed, and oddly enough, we are still fighting there. I suppose if Jeff Latas or Gabrielle Giffords would have answered this question, the insurgency would collapse.
Funny thing, from what I understand, the NRCC has a full blown research staff to find out the candidates’ positions on these issues. They probably know the candidates stands better than the candidates do. They do this so the day after the primary they can twist a candidate’s statements and record to make him or her look like the unholy offspring of Leon Trotsky, Jane Fonda and John Wayne Gacy. One has to wonder why they would want the candidates to answer such a survey and do this job for them. Unless…
Unless maybe they don’t have a decent opposition research this time. Yeah, they are desperate. Maybe this whole DeLay and Abramoff thing has starved them of the money to do decent research. Who knows? Could be true.

hey, you know that Gabby can solve all the world’s problems…or if she does not then she can be blamed for them.
