Democrats Court The Asshole Vote (an oldie from 2003)
May 15, 2003 - WASHINGTON, DC – Citing the need to counter the Republican Party’s attempted outreach to their voter constituencies, Democratic National Committee Chairman, Terry McAuliffe, announced Wednesday that the Democratic Party would be fighting back by courting the “Asshole Vote.”



“George W. Bush and the Republican Party,” said McAuliffe, “are making a concerted and public effort to try and go after some of our core groups of voters, such as Latinos and Africa-Americans. So we feel it is imperative not just to respond in a defensive manner, but finally to go on the offense by courting the idiotic young white men who brazenly parrot whatever lines Rush Limbaugh feeds them each week.”



Former President Bill Clinton agreed with the plan. “The Democratic Party cannot just sit there while the Republicans try to siphon off our base. We must try to bring some of their core supporters over-to our side as well, and starting with the Republicans’ most important constituency, dumb white bullies who endlessly echo whatever lies they are fed, is the best way to go.”



McAuliffe says this particular constituency has been targeted both because it has been the backbone of recent Republican success, and because it, “should be pretty darn easy to tinker with these lie-strung marionettes.”



“You don’t have to come up with any real reasons why they should switch from their party to ours,” explained McAuliffe. “Just figure out what lies they would like to hear, repeat them over and over, and next thing you know they’ll be puppetting brazenly to all their friends and family members whatever nonsense you fed them.”
