Latest e-mail for GOP teamleaders my friend got today - they need money

[Mabus]

The following are excerpts from an e-mail that Ken Mehlman sent to a friend of mine who signed up as a team leader. Don't worry, she's Dem to the core.


Lauren, as the person responsible for overseeing this grassroots effort, I can tell you that we don't yet have all the financial resources to put get-out-the-vote volunteers in the field... or make all the get-out-the-vote phone calls that we need to make... or send all the absentee ballot mailings that we need to send.

more, from mehlman: Lauren, we are facing the brutal reality that we will be outspent in this tough fight. The Democrats, their special interest union allies, and angry left-wing groups like MoveOn.org plan to spend more than $120 million <illegal codeol('http://www.gop.com/EmergencyFund06/');> in their desperate bid to make Nancy Pelosi the next Speaker of the House. With the clock ticking to Election Day, we still need your support to stop that from happening.

:rofl:

2. Don't they read the news

Why would anyone vote GOP? Most of us don't like men in their 50's soliciting teen age boys. It seems a touch "dirty" to say the least.

7. They were quoting polls from LAST week

I guess they're hoping their supporters really are that dumb.

She promised to forward the e-mail to me later this evening. She's in Florida on business right now and is catching up on work. She sent me the excerpts I posted via ICQ.

8. What better way to reach them than to send them an e-mail

although he might get more donations if he was sending them out via IM or trolling with the rest of the predators in whatever forums they go to...

4. Whatta scam - they have mucho bucks -

Just trying the "fear" approach to the base. Wringing every last dime from the true believers who have already been burned by the Repug "only the rich" tax cuts and the disappearance of the middle class.

[Mabus]

9. I just like the name "GOP Emergency fund"

helps emphasize that they need to give all they can and now.

Fear, GOP's best friend.

5. How much does it cost them to process a donation?

Could we hurt them by donating, for instance, two cents each?

10. I wish

but then I want to be able to go to my grave with a clear conscience.
