In Arrears

By Sniffles

Perhaps you've heard: Republican members of Congress are being poky about paying their dues to the GOP Senate and House campaign committees. The teabaggers elected in 2010 and 2014 have been particularly delinquent  — not to mention members who are retiring, even though they're sitting on some fat campaign bank accounts.

Hey, aren't these very guys who see George Soros writing checks to Democrats around every corner? Why are they being so stingy?

After all, Democrats are raising a ton of money this cycle. And things will get even grimmer for the NRSC and the NRCC in 2020. Not only will many dues-owing Republicans be gone from Capitol Hill by then, the Congressional campaign committees will be competing for cash with Benedict Donald's re-elect campaign. And a number of vulnerable freshman GOP Senators, elected in an off-year, will be facing their first Presidential-turnout election.

Political pundits who are so fond of looking at "the map" too often neglect these money questions. So we cats are raising them. Since voting Democratic in November is the only way to save the country, we'll advise these tightwad Republicans to keep their wallets shut. That would make us PURR.
