Mumpower Refuses NRCC Money

“I got a call from the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) earlier today,” Mumpower said Thursday afternoon. “And I told them we were not interested in their money. I believe that organization has passively supported our leadership in abandoning their principles, and I have no interest in aligning myself with a self-serving organization.”

Mumpower said the caller was “a little stunned.”

“But I’m not interested in the tail wagging the dog,” he said. “I’m going to run an authentic maverick campaign.”

Haha! I’ll bet the caller was stunned! I don’t really have an opinion on Mumpower. All I know about him is what I have read in the media, but this just upped him in my book.

He is right, though. The Republican Party is a joke today. They threw away everything that made them appeal to Americans. The leadership is incompetent at the national level and the party as a whole even at the state level in many cases has become self-serving. People aren’t falling for their red herrings any more, but that message has yet to sink through to them. George Bush’s legacy will be the downfall of his own party.
