WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Contrary to speculation that the Republican Party has no clear frontrunner in the nomination for president in the 2016 elections, the Grand Old Party (GOP) today unveiled its list of ‘presidentiables,’ any one of whom could be the next president of the United States.

“It’s a crowded field, but they are all frontrunners and equally qualified to be president,” said Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party continues to maintain that it has only one clear frontrunner (lone-up) for the 2016 presidential nomination – Barack Obama, with Hillary Clinton a distant second, and Elizabeth Warren, a distant third.

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Grand Old Party (GOP) is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to gain full control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, not to mention the White House come 2016.

The Republic National Committee (RNC) is holding the biggest and most ambitious political fundraiser ever in the history of the U.S. It will be held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and will showcase the Three Tenors.

Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti in concert?

No. Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Mitch McConnell. Tenors and Republicans all. Unknown to many, the three GOP leaders have had extensive training at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. All have agreed to join their voices together to raise campaign funds for both the 2014 and 2016 elections.

Each ticket costs $32,400, the maximum political contribution allowed by law from individuals and political action committees (PAC). Assuming that the concert will play to a full house at the Kennedy Center, the GOP is expected to raise a total of almost $80 Million. The concert hall as a capacity of 2,462.

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that the GOP tenors will be performing a repertoire consisting of songs from some of the world’s greatest operas like La Boheme, Rigoletto and Carmen. They will also sing songs from Broadway shows like The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.

The two-hour concert will be directed by Metropolitan Opera’s Music Director James Levine.

The Democratic National Committee refused to comment on the GOP fundraiser, saying that “we’ll do what we do best, that is, using social media.”

GEORGE H.W. BUSH SOCKS AUCTIONED OFF IN LATEST GOP CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER

September 2, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The campaign for this year’s mid-term elections is bringing out the most brilliant of ideas for both the Republicans and Democrats in raising funds.

Democrats are known for being Internet savvy, capitalizing on the power of social media to rally their supporters and to generate campaign funds.

But nothing beats the latest fundraising strategy cooked up by the Republican National Committee. At the center point of the new GOP campaign is George H. W. Bush and his famous multicolored socks.

For a minimum contribution of $35, campaign donors will receive a pair of limited-edition George H.W. Bush socks. One doesn’t have to be a Republican to avail of this special offer.

There’s more. For a donation of $32,400 which, by law, is the campaign contribution limit to a party’s national committee — the donor will receive a pair of USED George H. W. Bush socks.

The GOP said the supply of used socks is very limited, so it is advising interested campaign contributors to act fast.
