Republicans in debt. So sad, so sad
:nopity:
Dear Republican Friend,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous support of our efforts to elect Republicans to the United States Senate this year.

I just wish I could say I'm writing today to celebrate a Republican victory -- but as you know, we were beaten by the Democrats in a very difficult election year for Republicans nationwide.

But even though we were unable to retain our Senate Majority, I believe we can still walk away from this election with our heads held high...

...Despite the odds against us, we fought hard in all our U.S. Senate races and still managed to keep the Senate extremely close!

And given how close so many races were, I even authorized the NRSC to go into debt so we could put more money into important Election Day messages.

As a result, the NRSC is now in debt after we spent every last cent on last-minute advertising and other efforts.

That's why I'm reaching out to the NRSC's most loyal and generous supporters like you today.

If you are in a position to do so, please make an immediate online contribution to the NRSC in the amount of $25, $50, $75, $100, $250, or more to help us wipe-out our remaining debt and make sure we have the funds to start 2007 with the maximum financial strength possible.

Click here to donate to the NRSC's debt reduction campaign!

I know you have already done so much this year. And I truly wish that I did not have to ask you for another contribution...

But if we let this debt linger, it will cripple our efforts to recruit great candidates for the next election and begin our drive to win the one additional seat we need to regain the Senate Majority.

So please, don't let me down -- Help the NRSC recover from our election debt at once.

Remember, the sooner we can pay off the debt from the last election and begin to focus on the next campaign, the greater our chances are of regaining the majority in the next election.

So please help me make sure the next NRSC Chairman can hit the ground running in 2007 with no debt.

Simply follow this link to help fund our debt retirement efforts with an immediate, secure online donation today!

No matter how much you can contribute, I want you to know that I deeply appreciate all that you have done for our Party, our Senate candidates, and me during the past year.

As my term as NRSC Chair comes to an end, I look back and cherish the great friendships I have made with loyal Republicans all across this country. I am truly thankful to have friends like you who are committed to our cause, our ideals and principles.


With my warmest best wishes,

Senator Elizabeth Dole
Chair, National Republican Senatorial Committee

12. Yeah and a NH judge just ordered the RNC to cough up
4 million as a fine for those robo-calls. Snerk.

5. I'm sure if she sold a couple of those expensive suits
she wears, and did her own hair for a few weeks she could pay the damn thing off.
Liddy Dole was seated beside me at a function at the University of Kansas a few years back for the opening of the new Dole Center. I know the suit she was wearing that day was probably worth more than my 1993 Ford...

7. Fired this off to a Repuke acquaintance
who is always preaching how much better the GOP adheres to sound financial/fiscal management.

8. "Despite The Odds Against Us"
They do it all they time, play persecution card. Every damed Republican that ever walked thought the world was out to get his or her sorry ass from the moment they awoke until they shivered their scared asses to sleep at night.

9. That's One Of The Things I Felt The Most Satisfied About When We Won.
They tried so hard. They spent so much money. They invested so much, if not everything, into winning.

We won anyway.

I still don't believe it. I'm still in awe. Though so much of DU has already devolved back into the petty I still have a shit eatin grin on my face every damn day while reveling in our unbelievable victories that regained both houses of congress.

They spent so much. They tried so hard. They invested everything they could. They still fucking lost.

I still don't believe it.

WE FUCKING DID IT Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

:toast: :bounce: :party:

10. It's like that scene at the end of the movie Sneakers
The last shot is of a TV news bulletin, and the anchor says the following:
"In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations."

File that under "if only" :evilgrin:

20. Heck, I'd even be willing to tape a quarter to a piece of paper
and send it in. Here, Liddy. Use it to call someone who cares.

Now the Repubs get to taste a bit of what they've done to the country -- saddling us in obscene debt.

Obviously Liddy believes there's a sucker born every minute and they tend to be Republicans.
