RAPIDES REPUBLICAN PARISH EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The Rapides Republican Parish Executive Committee (RRPEC) is, officially, the Republican Party of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Although it is affiliated with the Republican Party of Louisiana, the RRPEC exists, in its own right, according to the Louisiana Revised Statutes (Title 18: Louisiana Election Code) and, therefore, retains a certain autonomy, particularly when applied to its mission and goal:

To organize, develop and grow the Republican Party in Rapides Parish and to recruit, endorse and elect qualified Republicans to public office.

The RRPEC membership consists of fourteen registered Republicans elected by registered Republican voters, in Rapides Parish, and are tasked to provide leadership and service to their constituents. Nine members of the committee represent districts corresponding to the nine Rapides Parish Police Jury districts and are elected by registered Republicans, who reside in those districts. The five at-large members of the committee are elected by registered Republicans, parish-wide.

Members of the RRPEC serve for four-year terms and are elected during years presidential elections are held.

THE LATEST LEFTIST CONTORTION

TEA Party activists are not overtly racist, - Cleaver, et al, tried to make that claim last March and couldn’t - but the bright and witty among us now are trying to make the case that they are covertly racist. How’s that? TEA Party activists want to cut government spending, across the board, that’s how. Such cuts necessarily would adversely affect taxpayer funded social programs that, in many cases, subsidize minorities. A pretzel masquerading as a professor at Princeton said so, so it must be true.

Please pass the salt.

ANOTHER QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it… All I need to do to rediscover the romance is to look at healthcare in my own country [which is governed by] the darkness of private enterprise.”

- Donald Berwick, recently nominated by President Obama to serve as the the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Two fundamental rules of American politics: Rule 1) Don't say anything that makes the voter feel bad about himself/herself or offends his/her sensibilities; Rule 2) No matter how complex the problem reassure the voter that the solution is simple and can be achieved quickly without personal sacrifice.”
