For some random reason, I get Orrin Hatch e-mails. Today's is a doozy. Let me know how you feel about it!
Here it goes (with my emphasis in bold)
Dear Republican Supporter,
You have to read this.
I just got forwarded an email from Bill Clinton about Barack Obama and breaking our firewall.
(continues below)
"... we have to work for it. We have to elect Barack Obama president and give him a filibuster-proof majority ... with strong Democratic senators committed to making Barack Obama's bold vision a reality." (Sounds like the plan)
On top of that, every liberal special interest group from MoveOn.org to Big Labor to anti-drilling extremists are laying it all on the line in 2008 with one goal in mind: to seize total control of our government. (Yay, team!! Glad you've noticed, Orrin, but no mention of dailykos?)
We must fight back!
If Bill Clinton and the liberals get their way, we will be powerless to stop Barack Obama's far-left agenda. You know Obama's "bold vision" means:
• Liberal activist Supreme Court justices (yes, sirree!)
• No new drilling (not true, just where it's already been approved)
• Skyrocketing taxes (versus gas prices or healthcare?)
• Surrender to our enemies overseas (huh?)
• Eliminating the secret ballot for their Big Labor bosses (waah?)
Take it from Bill Clinton: "There is no time to waste."
How can you help? Make a donation of $11 today.
Why $11? It represents $1 for each of the 11 Republican Senate seats Obama and the liberals are targeting in 2008.
Together, we can stop Barack Obama's far-left agenda in its tracks by strengthening our nationwide efforts to organize grassroots activists and quickly responding to attacks from far-left liberals like MoveOn.org.
Can I count on your support?
Our nation stands on the brink of taking a disastrous turn to the left.
And you are the only thing that stands in the liberals' way.
Sincerely,
Senator Orrin Hatch
Vice Chairman,
National Republican Senatorial Committee
P.S. Two Republican Senators will personally match your contribution dollar-for-dollar -- tripling your impact! Please contribute at least $11 today.
So, while we are helping our orange to blue buddies, maybe we can chip in an extra $11 for them, just to help Orrin out?
And, oh, yeah, Orrin, thanks for letting me know y'all are running scared.
Updated: I know a lot of folks have been posting diaries, wondering "where is Bill Clinton?". I think we can cut the guy some slack, since it's obvious Clinton is turning the Republicans into a bunch of babies.
