A recent Republican National Committee fundraising document obtained by Politico blogger/reporter Ben Smith reveals a couple things.

1) The Republican Party doesn’t seem to respect its own donor base, calling them “ego driven” and able to be lured by “tschotches” or swag.

2) The Republican Party also seems comfortable with using childish graphics like the one above in an official presentation.

But while the Republicans are selling the idea of the Democrats as the Evil Empire, some traditional Democratic constituencies wish the party had the cojones of Storm Troopers. For example, The Hill starts an article on the latest jockeying over healthcare reform this way:

President Barack Obama will be more assertive with Congress after disappointing members in his first year with mixed signals during the healthcare debate, Democrats say.
Obama made a crucial mistake not rallying the party behind a detailed healthcare reform proposal earlier in the debate, Democrats in both chambers broadly acknowledge.

The Democrats still have a majority in Congress. We’ll see if and how they use it… which will then affect if and how the Republican Party can attack.
