RNC sends out email asking for donations of $25, $50 or $100

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2006/07/bush_shaking_pi.html#more

President Bush sent a personal note today to the millions of people whom the Republican National Committee communicates with via email, asking, as many of these personal notes from noteable Republicans emailing to the RNC’s faithful ask, for money.

“Republicans have a record of dealing with some serious economic times during my presidency,’’ the president writes in this personalized note to everyone on the party’s email list - which goes directly to the GOP’s strategy this year of portraying Democrats as the party with their hands in your pockets. But it’s the RNC, in this note, that’s turning the pockets of members inside out - asking for donations of $25, $50 or $100.


“We have had a recession, a stock market collapse, terrorist attacks, corporate scandals and major natural disasters,’’ the president writes. “Because Republicans acted and had an economic recovery plan, we have created strong economic growth and nearly 5.3 million new jobs in the last two and half years; the national unemployment rate has dropped to 4.6% -- that is lower than the average rate of the 1960s, 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s; productivity is up and household net worth is at an all-time high.

...

“Nothing threatens our hard-won reforms and economic prosperity more than a Democrat victory this November,’’ says Bush, calling the grassroot support of members throughout the country vital to the GOP’s success in the 2006 mid-term elections.

...

“The difference is clear: If you want the government in your pocket, vote Democrat,’’ Bush says. “If you want to keep more of your hard-earned money, vote Republican.’’

And while you’re at it, the president’s email asks, log on to the RNC’s secure website and pony up $100, $50 or $25.

2. They, no doubt, believe the shit they're talking.
I have been told about one hundred dollars worth (a quarter of a dime bag) of excretory effluvia from my thousand dollar puppy dog oughta' be about right. Those bastards will not stop until they have scored every kiddie's piggy bank in the country.
Disgusting pukes (spit)

3. Put some dog or cat shit in the envelope, and send it back to them.
Tell them you believe in dishing out what you receive, and that's all the GOP has given you for the past 6 years.

Oh, I hope I get something from them, even though I'm not on their E-mail list...

6. a golden urinal perhaps? ;-)
"Before the 2001 inauguration of George Bush, he was
invited to a get acquainted tour of the White House.
After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked
Bill Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.

When he entered Clinton's private toilet, he was
astonished to see that President Clinton had a solid
gold urinal.

That afternoon, George told his wife, Laura, about
the urinal.

"Just think," he said, "when I am President, I could
have a gold urinal too, but I wouldn't do something
that self indulging!"

Later, when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour
of the White House, she told Hillary how impressed
George had been at his discovery of the fact, that
in the President's private bathroom, the President
had a golden urinal.

That evening, when Bill and Hillary were getting
ready for bed, Hillary smiled, and said to Bill, "I
found out who peed in your saxophone."

:evilgrin:

If you do not follow your own thoughts, then you will follow the thoughts of the fellow who follows his. -Unknown

10. I don't remember all the details
but it was about a drunk who was at a party or something and took a crap in a golden toilet. The punchline was something like: "who the hell sh*t in my tuba!" (There were no presidents in this verson.)

12. I heard it with JFK...
To keep it short, nearing the end of a party, a man says to JFK, "You must be the man with the golden toilet." To which JFK replies (with thick MA accent), "No, but you must be the man who pooped in my tuba."

14. Why not? Rent won't be needed for the trailer park after the Rapture
Though I do wonder how the Bush Family Evil Empire has already spent all that $8 trillion which went "missing" in Iraq early on...

Plenty of money in there, and almost as valuable as the stuff printed by the Fedz. :(

16. EVERYday
those repuke ASSHOLES fill up my answering machine with message after message saying that earlier in the year we pledged them money! :wtf: I KNOW no one in this house OKed them any money! :mad: This is just strictly some kind of shakedown for money and they are using some kind of old list. Years ago (like 30 + years ago) my father was a repukelican but has hated them since Raygun. I call them and tell them to quit calling and go fuck themselves but they never leave a number they only say they are sending a letter for the money. I'm eagerly awaiting that letter so I can send it back to them with a 'good' response. :evilgrin:
