Republicans Announce New Strategy: The Caste System (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/contribute/sn/persona?User=greendogdemo&plckController=PersonaBlog&plckScript=personaScript&plckElementId=personaDest&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckPostId=Blog%3agreendogdemoPost%3acd13fcb0-1052-4b35-ad53-eca1deace1fb&plckCommentSortOrder=TimeStampAscending)
In an apparent all out bid for the heart of their base, many of whom have been drifting into liberal camps, the Republican Party today announced a new strategy: The Republican Caste System.
“We’ve tried the Big Tent approach,” stated Wilfred T. Snodgrass, rising star of the Republican operatives team created by Carl Rove over the past eight years of the Bush Presidency, “and it didn’t work. The fact is, people are different and it’s time we acknowledged it within the Party.”
“Different income levels, different skin colors, different sexes. We were not meant to be one big happy family. It’s time we return to our roots: rich white men. To that end, I am proposing the institution of the Republican Caste System in this country. Let the Democrats have the poor people, the womenfolk who don’t know their place and all the little brown, black, red and yellow ones.”
Shocked Democrats were too stunned to respond when contacted by the Fox News immediately after Snodgrass’s announcement. Republican leaders were just as mum, as they appeared to be taking stock of their own. There were a few notable exceptions like Senators Olympia Snow and Susan Collins of Maine, who said in a joint public appearance on the Daily Show, “That’s the most ludicrous thing we’ve ever heard!”
Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who himself had proclaimed his support for Republican “core principles” and refused to take his State’s share of Obama’s stimulus package only last week, faulted his fellow Republican Governor, Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who Jindal accused of “starting this whole mess,” by comments he made at the Governors’ meeting in Washington last week, widely quoted in the Press.
Sanford said (as reported by the AP) (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/02/23/MNK5162N8Q.DTL&hw=fouhy&sn=002&sc=738):“There's one school of thought that says the way you grow out of the wilderness is by expanding the tent, appeal to Hispanics, to women, use technology. I think the way you grow the tent is by going back to the basics of what brought you to town in the first place.”
Snodgrass agreed, “What brought us here was rich white men at the head of corporations and the non-unionized working class dependant on them. No more taxes on the rich. No more spending on the poor. Women back in the kitchen. Guns for all.”
Asked if he was still considering a run for the Presidency in 2012, Jindal just shook his head and mumbled something about maybe taking his slice of the stimulus package after all.
