On Fox & Friends, February 14, 2012, Reince Priebus, chairperson of the Republican National Committee (RNC) unveiled love notes for Republicans to share. The series of digital Valentines feature humorous zings at the Democrats Republicans love to hate. Priebus stressed that it was all in the spirit of GOP election year fun. (Watch the Fox video.)
Currently on the website of the Democrat National Committee (DNC), though there are plenty of barbed arrows aimed at Republicans, there are no DNC Valentines cards. However, Valentines Day is not over yet. Give the DNC time and check later.
A total of 57,404 have already been sent by email from the site at GOPValentine.com. The cards are free though there are links for donations if a person is so inclined. It might be difficult to "get" some of the messages if you are not a political animal - there are no names on any of the cards.
Following are a dozen of the featured Democrats and the messages, not necessarily in order of popularity:
- President Obama: "Sorry, no Valentine's gift, my credit card's has been denied."
- President Obama: "If this is a successful year for you, there's a 5% tax on this card."
- President Obama: "It's not you, it's me."
- Vice President Biden: "This Valentines card sounds good in any accent."
- Vice President Biden: "This Valentines card has not been approved by anyone at the White House."
- United States Attorney General - Eric Holder: "Apparently I missed your Valentine when it crossed my desk."
- Chairperson of the Federal Reserve - Ben Bernanke: "I blew $1.2 billion of other peoples' money and all you get is this lousy Valentine."
- Secretary of Health - Kathleen Sebelius "This Valentine is mandated by the Federal Government regardless of your ethical or religious objections."
- Director of Homeland Security - Janet Napolitano : "You always see right through me."
- Former Speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi: "Just wanted to see if you missed me."
- Former Senator Anthony Weiner: "If anyone asks, I didn't send you this Valentine."
- Unemployed workers: "The only stone we want this Valentines is Keystone.
