Republican Pride: Why Aren't WE Dieing To Show OUR Colors?

I recently attended a District Republican meeting. I was wearing one of my Republican logo'd shirts. And there I was, in a room FULL of Republicans .... and I was the only one who seemed proud enough to be a Republican to show it. Save for the GOP Flag, there was not one other Republican Logo in the room. Well, except for a Republican logo on a guy's binder — that was facing left.  (Logo faces right, friends.)

New Slogan: The Republican Party: The Invisible Party. Oh yeah. Go to the convention and wear your Elephants. Sing to the choir. That'll get the message out there. "Oh, but that's where the TV cameras are. The whole country will see that we have Republican spirit and we are alive and well!" If that's what you think, let me tell you a story.

I have a stockbroker. I never, EVER hear from the guy. But once a year I get a Birthday card from him. And you know what that card does? It only serves to emphasize the fact that I NEVER HEAR FROM HIM! (I'm gonna fire him, directly.)

Same goes for the state and national conventions. Suddenly, people will see Republican elephants on their TV screens. And it will draw attention to the fact that they never see it the rest of the time. "OK, everyone. Conventions over. Back in the closet."

What We Can Learn From Gang-Bangers.
Inner-city gangs know pride and they know branding. If you're a Blood, you wear Blood colors. If you're a Crypt you wear Crypt colors. Gangs have pride ... and they show it. They display their brand on jackets, overpasses, the sides of buildings and buses. All across this country, kids are literally dieing to show their colors. While Republicans are scared to put a pin on their lapel. Do inner-city gang-bangers really have more pride than do we?

Who wants to be a member of a party where the members don't have enough pride or commitment to wear the brand?

Sure, some Republican business owners may have to "keep a low profile" for business reasons. But what about the retirees? And the millions of others who aren't going to loose their job or an account because they dared wear a pin or button or put a bumper sticker on their vehicle?

I'm sure everyone has their reason excuse. But excuses don't build brand identity ...  and they sure don't win elections.

Wear/display the Gop Logo Proudly. Together, We Can Beat Dem!

Warm Regards,
