OBAMA is wallowing in Special Interest Cash!!!!
A few months ago, I signed up to receive the RNC & McCain Campaign emails so I can make myself sort of ill and also to keep up on what they are telling their mindless followers. I just got a fabulous email asking me to donate to the RNC... but I didn't want to post the whole email, instead I'll just share the following phrases (bold added for emphasis):

Dear Gilligan,

We only have 1 day to meet our July 31st deadline to fund our 2008 Voter Registration Drive. Help put us over the top.

Our program of registering over three million new Republican voters is going well, but this crucial campaign effort is not yet fully financed.

To date we have raised nearly $10.4 million towards our two-month goal of $10.6 million. It is vital that we raise the remaining $200,000 in the next 24 hours to completely fund our critical Voter Registration Drive.

The Obama Democrats are counting on their wealthy special interest groups, Big Labor Unions and unregulated “527” groups like MoveOn.org to fill their campaign coffers and try to bury our GOP get-out-the-vote efforts in an avalanche of special interest cash.

These groups will push Democrat fundraising over a billion dollars -- an unprecedented amount which is fueling their massive 50-state voter registration drive.

We cannot afford to allow the Obama Democrats to outdo us in this struggle -- and that’s why I’m urging you to send an immediate, emergency contribution to RNC Victory 2008 today.


Do you love it? "Wealthy special interest groups?...":eyes:

McCain's straight talk about "SPECIAL INTEREST" is just another one of his lies:

Well, except from Big Oil, Big Pharmaceutical, Big Agriculture, Big Widgets, etc. etc.

2. You know, I think I'll do the same.
As sick to my stomach as it will make me, I would rather know what's going on. "Keep your friends close & your enemies closer"

Thanks for providing this info! K&R

4. Good idea
I actually like watching these lists and groups, it's fun to listen to them whine and complain. They're all totally panicked.
