Nigerian Spammers Know I’m A Republican

The latest fashion trend in Paris, Nigeria.

Check out this SPAM message I got.

To: Kevin Tracy

From:
Chris Hepburn
chris@chrishepburn.com

Message:
I will try and be brief an evil woman by the name of Elizabeth Gracen stole millions from charity.
Gracen first shared a bed with that scumbag Bill Clinton to obtain a Miss Arkansas crown
(That is well documented elsewhere)
Gracen is still sharing a bed with Clinton now and he protects it from prosecution.
I am so very ill all that stops me from ending my life is a dream of seeing Gracen go to jail.
Everything is explained on my website www.chrishepburn.com
I rant and rave I am not well I spent 2 years crying myself asleep under bridges in Paris as Gracen took everything I haf and left me to die on the streets of Paris .

If anybody has the nerve to go to that website address, please tell me what’s there… unless you get a gazillion viruses, in which case I already know.

But here’s my question. If some idiot from Nigeria who can’t spell “have” correctly knows I’m a Republican, why are there still people who doubt that fact? Another question: how stupid are those people who doubt I’m a Republican when this “Chris Hepburn” from Paris, Nigeria can figure this out and they can’t?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I stand before you and declare that I am as honest of a Republican as you will find. When my party is wrong, you already know that I’ll speak out – but most of the time when I speak out, it’s because my party isn’t behaving like my party or people in my party aren’t behaving like people in my party. I’ve made many sacrifices for the GOP over the past decade and I’ve asked for nothing in return except responsible party leadership with strong, conservative ideas that respect everyone’s god given rights and the rule of law.

So for those of you doubters out there, pay attention. “Chris Hepburn” actually knows what he’s talking about, even if every word of his SPAM e-mail is a load of crap. I’m a Republican.

I feel like the school girl who just came in on the middle of a game of “phone”… It is apparent to me that you have distanced yourself from Huckabee. But catch me up-are you one of those nasty RINOs my mother warned me about? Are your loyalties in question?

Comment by kevintracy on November 20, 2009

Yeah, because I didn’t back McCain in 2008 (voted straight ticket Republican otherwise), don’t support Huckabee, insulted Mitt Romney, made fun of Fred Thompson, laugh at Sarah Palin, and call Ron Paul a lunatic – I have evangelicals (who call me anti-marriage), traditionalists, national security conservatives, and libertarians within the GOP pretty mad at me. To the point where my name was used as a metaphor for “liberal” behind the scenes in Florida during a Republican primary.

I suppose such is the price of being my own man and speaking my mind instead of repeating what was said on Fox News.

“To the point where my name was used as a metaphor for “liberal” behind the scenes in Florida during a Republican primary.” Can’t wait until “the GOP pulled a Kevin Tracy” enters the permanent lexicon of the right wing.

We’re living in a political climate where it’s easier to block out one eye, view reasoned thought as if it were wearing a jumpsuit plastered in all the best bumpersticker slogans of their choosing and classify it all as deep political thought. And we exist in a media climate where that philosophy is not only accepted but boisterously encouraged.

Cheer up! We’re the RINOs and DINOs of the mad, mad world of politics. The first politician-or party- to figure out that there are more of us huddled just left and just right of center than those frantically flapping around on either the left or the right wings wins. And the entire country regains some balance.

Laurie, I agree…to a point. Theres a difference between being open minded and willing to talk about issues and hopefully finding some kind of common ground and completely giving up ones ideals in favor of popularity and more votes. I don’t think neither Kevin nor I are RINO’s, were simply…thinking Republicans, lol.

Comment by Laurie on November 21, 2009

Travis,

THRINOS, perhaps? Obviously, I’m being facetious, and I don’t pretend that, even within the middle grounds of Democrats and Republicans, there aren’t serious differences. My point is that when our country’s system has worked to move us forward, it’s typically because we have has strong statesmen on both sides of the aisle who stronlgy believe in the centerpieces of their ideas and have worked to convince each other to include them in legislation. How the hell do you think we got to balanced budget chats under Clinton?

How different might this health care legislation look if the Republicans had truly stood toe to toe with the Dems, even compromising to get some of their centerpieces into the legislation. This is too important for the GOP to choose to hold their breaths and go away to play a different game. Instead and like children, they have chosen NOT to “brush their teeth before bedtime” in the fervent hope that bedtime, then, will not come. Instead, and like good but ineffective community organizers, they have led their followers into a Fox-news sponsored snit. I mean, it has made media stars out of some of them, and I really should be satisfied with that…Somehow, I am not.

How different this ALL might look if the GOP had grown-ups at the helm who could take the “NO!” they hear from their constituency, build reasoned platforms, and then lead their groups to demand “YES!” Dont’ forget-health care reform was near the top of the Party platforms of both the DNC and RNC in ‘08.

Yes, there is a powerful majority in place, but I am left to ponder whether or not there is a Republican in this country who actually believes in even ONE core provision in their own plan. If they did,, they might choose to use the power demonstrated by the aswesome crowds towards something more significant. Sadly, though, the GOP has gone from the Proud Party of No to the Confused party of “Oh, no they di’n't”.

And it weakens the entire country.

I disagree entirely. The GOP is to blame for not addressing this issue when they had Congressional control, but there are a scant few that are being fictious with health care claims. Many are willing to find some kind of common ground, however the public option, which is the liberal staple, won’t be accepted. I commend the GOP for standing strong on health care, what I dislike is that they aren’t focusing on as many REAL issues with the bill, and instead are allowing this “death panel” scare to spread, because some of the most vocal about the issues are also on the fringe (unfortuneatly). And politically speaking, they’re playing their cards right. The health care bill that is out there will spend huge ammounts of money and will be a disaster, and they don’t want their names attached to it. There has been extensive debate over what the GOP would like, and there are a couple things in this bill I like, however the give and take method hasn’t worked out because the left simply won’t take out the critical part of the bill, the public option.

Comment by Laurie on November 22, 2009

Time will tell, as they say. 2010 will be entirely about public perception of the economy, and I expect the Dems to take a drubbing in some areas. But I think that 2012 will certainly be a watershed moment for any health care reforms passed, and if (big if, as there’s no “there” there yet)Americans have seen an increase in coverage for many, it’s going to be hard for the GOP to stand on a soap box and shout THANK GOD WE DIDN’T have anything to do with THAT.

Comment by Travis Gearhart on November 23, 2009

2012 won’t mean a thing because the reforms aren’t ennacted until after, but I get your general argument.
