Let’s join the NC GOP game: It’s Pin the Tail on the RINO time!

I am not usually one to play games, especially when it comes to politics, but I was feeling a bit left out, just a bit. Alright, a whole lot. So I’ve decided to crash the “party” and join in the NC GOP’s fun. I invite all of you to play along. Such fun!

This game however, is not the standard Pin the Tail game we all know, I decided as the Republican Party wants to change the rules as they go along, I can too. I’ve incorporated a bunch of familiar games and sports along with some other ideas into it. Hopefully this will make it more understandable, challenging and entertaining. Plus, my mind moves fast and I get bored easily so I need to have variety too. (Stupid side note: see how many games and sports you can spot.)

I fully realize this is silly, even dumb (so no petty reviews on the game, please) but what the heck, let’s have a little fun. Besides, it’s not the “game” analogy you should concentrate on, it’s what I am relaying to you. Remember the saying “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game”? Except here, the roles are reversed. It’s how the GOP establishment plays the game that matters to them, not whether YOU win or lose. But in this game they are playing. the stakes are much higher, and the losers are North Carolina and America.

This game starts out open to all Republicans, even for those “crazies” (as Mr. Justin “I’m impartial” Thibault, the Cabarrus County GOP Chairman likes to call us on twitter and facebook. He even added a little link of a video of “voters” that include druggies, satanists, racists, a hog farmer holding up a picture of and saying there’s a lot of same sex hog coupling going on, etc.) Sir, don’t say you meant the crazies in the video either as you’ve sent that link out many times before telling people to “Go vote and here’s why.” Only recently have you started referring to them as “crazies – esp. in #NC8″ and we’re not stupid. We know you’re referring to District 8 Tim D’Annunzio supporters as that is what we are affectionately known as. Others even passed the link along laughing and knowing exactly what you were saying. Some even added other NC districts to it. Regardless of who he was speaking of, is that how a GOP Chairman should be speaking of citizens, any citizen? Mr. Thibault may find this comical, I find it insulting. I won’t pass along the disgusting video, you can go there yourself later if you want. However, here’s a couple little screen captures Mr. Thibault may not like you to see:

The top one is how he usually sends this remark out. The bottom one is how he sends it out periodically (the #nc8 & #nc08 are representative of NC District 8, the #ConsNC is Conservatives in NC and just to spread the love around, the #fb means to post it to his facebook page):

After that short commercial break, it’s back to the big game…

As with any game though, there’s always those spoilers. Those that don’t just want to go along and follow YOUR rules. Those that insist they have better ideas, or that you’re doing it wrong. Those that point out when you’re not being inclusive, breaking the rules or that you’re cheating. There’s even those that want to take over because they feel you are inept or arrogant. So, since the GOP is the “Mommy May I” of this game, what they say goes. Therefore no spoilers allowed and all will be rooted out. You’re either a team player or you’re out.

Who has the Republican Party decided to let play? Ah, the decision is made right out of the gate. They decided to be selfish and play all by themselves. So, Mr. GOP Establishment, how to get those party crashers to go away and let you play the game as you demand?

1. Offer them one more chance to play the game but only under YOUR conditions. If they agree, great, you’ve now got some sheeple to sit in the stands and cheer you on along with your team cheerleaders: the media. If not 100% agreeable to your conditions, move to rule #2.

2. Ignore the opponent, their team members and their “fans”, as these are the people who after all really didn’t want to play your game but are in the arena, nonetheless. (The players: the true conservative, those pesky Christians, and those “right-wing extremist” Teaparty members and Patriots, the American people)

3. If rule #2 doesn’t work: Ridicule and tease them like little school girls. (This popular game move is called demonization. It’s used to shake the confidence of your opponents.)

4. If the party crashers still won’t see it your way and continue to reject your RINO, then assassinate their characters. Kick ‘em in the shins for good measure. The desired outcome here is to get them to pout or get angry and stomp off, thereby forfeiting the game. (This is a standard strategy in any sport: When demonization fails, use physical attacks. What’s the worse that can happen? You’ll just get a foul called on you or get put into the penalty box.)

5. Bench those party crashers, after all, you don’t need them. Bring in the RINO substitutes to play instead or those that will follow you mindlessly because, after all, you are the masters of this game.

6. If the party crashers continue to be persistent, buck up and won’t pick up their marbles and go home, duct tape their mouths shut (duct tape fixes everything here in the South, don’t ya know), let them sit on the sidelines and watch.

Next, before we play the game, while we’re taking the pieces out of the box, we usually read the actual game rules and regulation. No need. The GOP elite has decided those for you too:

1. Each fan in the stands must put on a blindfold. We don’t want these fans to see how the game is really played. You, or better yet, the “highly animated”, “energetic” sportscaster of the Liberal media will feed them the play by play you want them to know. (Those you pushed to the sidelines are hopeless, so don’t worry about them for now. Later, you’ll try to bribe them with free tickets, refreshments, or one of those big fingers (trust me, some of them already have one of these, for you), to get them to the final game in the match as you will need them on your side then.)

2, Get the team coaches together to strategerize (gotta love George Bush).

3. As the league teams require promotion, the team must gather sponsors and endorsements. They must be made up mostly of the same ilk. (Did you know a group of RINOs collectively are called a CRASH? Reminds me of a different type of crash, those obnoxious, country loving party crashers, huh? Ah, the irony.) Once again your cheering section, the lamestream media, comes in handy.

4. Now get your players on to the field and in your huddle. Use your playbook to the fullest. (The coaches and player’s mentions will come in a later post with the positions they play, stats and batting averages. I will include the link here.)

Let the games begin! It’s the team from North Carolina’s District 8 up first….

But, wait…where’s the tail? I can’t find the tail? Who hid the tail? Harold? Where are you, Harold? Harold Johnson? HAROLD?! Take that tail off, Harold. You’re getting a jump on it, the game hasn’t even started yet. Oh never mind, there’s no sense in continuing as you have earned and been given the trophy. Keep the tail where it is Harold, you’ve merited it. You have been chosen by the team owners and elite as the star RINO.

The Republican party has called Game over.

Congratulations, Harold Johnson, you are the MVP, a Mere Vassal Pachyderm (Why did I use “Vassal”? It is a person who is under the rule of another and who owes servitude and loyalty to them, subjecting to their will. Did you know the Pachyderm family doesn’t just include the elephant (symbol of the GOP) but also the RINO? Pretty clever of me, wouldn’t you say?

Game revision (or better known as the GOP Game changer): When it comes time to play in the district finals, start at the beginning, as now you need those Independents (monkeys in the middle) and disenchanted jackasses.

My suggestion to the GOP establishment and team RINOs: Perhaps you should change your team name to Pachydermata. According to its definition, Pachydermata is an obsolete order of mammals (includes elephants and RINOs..oh and wait, man ), at one time widely recognized but is no longer in use. The Pachydermata, just like the current political parties is obsolete, no longer in use (or of use), finished. We only need it to remind us of its history.

Republicans like to tout that the Democrats are no longer the Democrat party of old and no longer represent the party of the working man. Well, the Republican party no longer is the party that stands for our values and principles. The GOP establishment has decided who they will choose for us. Time and time again they choose wrong instead of what’s “right” leading us further and further away from our Founding Father’s intentions, those principles granted to us through our constitution.

We the People now know much of our history, so as to not repeat it. What we don’t know, we are learning. We know the progressivism perpetrated upon our country by both the Democats and the Republican party establishment. We will never let ourselves be drawn down that path again.

We have been awaken and will no longer be scorned, rejected, or ostracized. We will not be banished to the stinky locker room (voting booth) to hold our noses. We will not be sent like little misbehaving children into time out, or to the dugout, nor will we tolerate being benched. We will not sit on the sidelines. We will stay at the party to change the game from inside the huddle. It will not be done through negotiation or bargaining either. We’ve seen what that has brought us. Why? WE are the real game changers. We the People are in it to win it because the ultimate prize is the soul of America.

NOW, it’s Game Over. Not only Game Over but Game, Set, Match.
