The 2012 Election is beginning to shape up. The Teapublicans have so poisoned the water for any GOP candidate there is not a winner in the bunch.The health insurance industry spent millions creating the tea party to defeat Healthcare, and very nearly did. They killed the Public option and that was what they were really fearful of. The GOP was all for anything to hurt Obama. But now they are looking for a candidate that can defeat Obama. The GOP doesn’t embrace the Crazy right faction that can’t get the GOP nomination. Romney might be able to do it, But Bachman is going to force them to the Crazy right so far. The Middle of the road independents will shy away from him. Right now the GOP is looking for someone to step up and take a swing. It might be Rick (Good Hair) Perry, but he is already so far to the right he can not be elected because the Independent voters see some of his speeches where he has advocated the succession of Texas from the union will do him in. So we are left with the Darling of the Teapublicans Michelle Bachman because Sarah Palin knows that she can’t win and won’t even run, and risk losing her Job at Fox-Fake-news. The Darling of the religious right Huckabee has the same problem of not wanting to lose a lucrative Job with Fox. So Get ready folks here comes Bachman loaded for Bear and full of vigor ready to talk about birth certificates and Kenya citizenship, and maybe she will tell us some more about the founding fathers struggle to abolish slavery, and other things about History that we never knew.

Fellow Democrats,
I have enjoyed serving as county chair for the last four years. We have had some great victories and also some disappointing losses. The most dreaded aspect of the job as county chair is the constant need to raise funds for our party. Our local party activists have stepped up to the plate during the last four years. I want to personally thank you! We have raised money for candidates, the building fund, and operational expenses. As we move forward, we must continue our drive to elect Democratic Candidates and support Democratic Principles for our citizens.
Our successes couldn’t have been completed without the leadership from Leanne Jones, Pat Lewis, and our party steering committee. Our party will reorganize in April to elect new officers and nominate committee members. If you or anyone else would like to have new leadership in the Chair’s position, I would be glad to speak with you on your thoughts for the future of our party.
I want to again invite you to our Valentine’s Dinner Fundraiser this Saturday, Feb. 9th from 5-7 PM at the Democratic Headquarters in Selmer. The menu includes grilled hamburger steaks, Italian chicken, BBQ chicken, baked potato, salad, roll, dessert and drink. Carry-outs will also be available. Tickets are $15 each or $25 per couple. The funds will go toward paying our inflated property taxes. We need your support! We really need to make this fundraiser a success. Thanks for your continued support!
Blue Forever,
Jeff Lipford
