Today's DNC SPAM

The RNC has a lot of catching up to with the DNC as far as digital communications go. I'm on both parties lists (because I'm a glutton for punishment and I'm not a cat so I fear no curiosity) As pieces of paper mail that I get from the RNC, I get at least an equal number from the DNC. They are both interesting in their own way, and the only purpose of any of it is to beg for money.

I have on couple of occasion put my responses to an RNC fundraising survey on this site and quite frankly since they send them on paper it's quite annoying. I hate typing. I know what you're thinking "but your typing now and you've typed every word on this site." True enough, but there is a tremendous difference between using a keyboard to record your thoughts, i.e. writing, and re-keying something someone else wrote, i.e. typing. In the end, this means that making fun of DNC communications is easier - and for many many reasons much more fun.

Today's DNC plea for cash arrived in my in-box from none other than DNC Chairman and Clinton stooge terry McAuliffe. The theme this begging missive how John Kerry is a victim of the "Bush Attack Machine."

Dear Steve Macklin,

Eighty-five million dollars. That's how much the Bush campaign has already spent on television ads attacking John Kerry's character. That's $85 million worth of distortions, half-truths, and outright lies approved directly by George W. Bush in an attempt to get John Kerry out of the race before it even begins.

Speaking of distortions, half-truths and outright lies, Terry, this race has been on for a long, long time. And here's a campaign strategy tip for you: If your candidates campaign wasn't based on distortions, half-truths and outright lies there would none for Bush to approve pointing out in his ads.

Instead of listening to the barrage of negative attacks coming from the Bush campaign, the American people are listening to John Kerry's positive vision for strength at home and respect abroad.

We have been listening for any sort of vision from Kerry, but what little he has to offer is drowned out by the barrage of negative attacks coming from the candidate and his suurogates Teddy Kennedy, Howard Dean, and Al Gore. And even this message from you Terry is pretty long on negatives and very short on positive vision. Could it be because the only thing you and your entire party can conceive of as a positive vision is a Democrat in the White House, even one as weak as Kerry?

They've still got plenty of special interest cash left to attack John Kerry, and we know they'll stop at nothing to win. Nothing.

What was that old expression about the pot and the kettle? The party that was contemplating not officially nominating their candidate at their nominating convention in order to manipulate the campaign finance system should probably not be criticizing anyone for "stopping at nothing to win."

What's more, your gift today is crucial to fully funding the largest voter registration and get-out-the-vote drive in history.

Yes, your money can help to bring convicted felons and sex offenders to your neighbor's door (but the other party will stop at nothing).

Not there ever was a chance in a trillion that I would be contributing to the DNC, but this kind of crap might just convince me to drop out of the race and throw my support to Bush.
