You can't make up some of the stuff that crawls into North Carolina mailboxes these days. Today's mailer from the North Carolina Republican Party is, well, in a class unto itself.
The header on this mailing says "Your Voting Record is Public Information!"
Then, this ominous note: "The News and Observer reported last week that Barack Obama and Harry Reid's operation plans to publish and share your voting records with your neighbors after this election."
That's big news right there. Raleigh has a newspaper? But I digress.
The mailing continues...
"The Republican Party wanted to make you aware of this, so Reid and Obama don't have the chance to embarrass you for staying home on election day."
And then... at the very bottom... is the (unintentional?) punchline. Wait for it....
...there's a list with my wife's name at the top and a note that she didn't vote in 2010, but did in 2012.
Then, it lists the names of 4 of my neighbors, with notes showing whether they voted in 2010 and 2012.
Let me say that again. They have the very voting record they say the scary and threatening president is going to send to my neighbors, and they're sending it to my neighbors.
So either they think we won't notice they're doing the very thing they're accusing Dems of planning, or their was a debilitating gas leak during a marketing meeting at GOP headquarters.
I was able to search the archive of that Raleigh newspaper I just found out about. No gas leak. They just think Republicans are stupid.
