Today I received an email plea for a campaign donation. This is a daily occurrence for me so that is not the surprising part. The surprising part was the suggestion from this campaign - a Republican candidate for a statewide office - to talk to my friends and family this holiday season about the candidate and ask for their vote.
"Can you help by making a contribution of $50, $100 or $200 to us today? And over the holidays, as you visit with friends and family, will you consider sharing with them about our campaign and asking them to be sure to vote for (insert candidate name here) in the March 4 Republican Primary?"
Does that sound familiar?
Of course it does. This is the same suggestion made by Team Obama to talk up the virtues of Obamacare and encourage everyone to sign up for it as you sit around with family and friends this holiday season.
Those who do not support the government take-over of 1/6 of our national economy and the determination of this Presidential administration to put private health insurance companies out of business in favor of a single payer system mocked and jeered this action from Team Obama.
Pot/kettle, people.
Let's leave the politics out of the holidays. Let friends and family gather and give it all a rest.
