From our Fan Mail from Some Flounder(ing Campaigns) desk
Yesterday it was the Missus who received a money-grubbing letter from Ann Romney (via the Republican National Committee).
Today it’s the hardworking staff receiving a money-grubbing letter from Mitt Romney (via the Republican National Committee).
Opening the envelope now . . .
The letter (close-captioned for the Romney-impaired):
Dear [Hardworking Staff],
Growing up, I was fortunate to have been an eyewitness [at an appropriate distance] to the American Dream. Ordinary people [whom I observed at an appropriate distance] worked hard, seized opportunities, and hammered out a legacy of prosperity [or more often, not] and hope for their children and grandchildren.
That was then. This is now.
Because of President Obama’s failed policies [to cut taxes on the rich], the American Dream [for the 1%] is in dire jeopardy, prosperity is out of reach for many – if not most – [really rich] Americans, and hope is fading fast. That’s the Obama legacy.
And that’s why we must hold him to one (absymal) term.
For the record: the hardworking staff is a registered Independent; we got this letter most likely because we subscribe to The Weekly Standard.
Regardless, as the Missus said:
Move along. Nothing to collect here.
You’re a “registered Independent”? In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a “registered Independent” means that you are registered for the Massachusetts Independent Party.
If you mean that you enrolled for no party, then your registration is “unenrolled.”
You got me there, Mike. I’m officially “unenrolled.” Thanks for the dope slap.
