Republicans lower wages
Republicans support the rich
Republicans, Republicans, Republicans!
(h/t on diary title, which I really like, to some great caller on the Norman Goldman Show)
UPDATE: Yes! I got a real, live hate mail off of this one. That pleases me to no end. Really. Thank you. Made my day.
The mail, from a Dkos reader, and my response below the fold:
UPDATE: Here's the e-mail I got
Do you see dead people? You seem mentally deranged...is your assertion that as Democrats have had complete control over the greatest wealth destruction in the U.S that it's all the Republican's fault? Does this make sense?
Do you really believe the Community Organizer in Chief and the Pelosi led congress have served this nation well? Let's see if you can answer without using the word REpublican or mentioning George Bush.... Thanks.
-JT
And my response:
Easily.
Of course they have served the nation well. There are so many great things that have already happened, I'm eager to see where Democrats go next.
You take care, and consider voting Democrat for your best interests. Do it! Seriously. Nobody has to know.
Just vote a full ticket. That's what I'm gonna do.
You take care,

...who are counting on people forgetting the damage they did, seeing as how they are busy working two, sometimes three minimum wage Republican jobs to make up for the family wage job they used to have, before Republicans Outsourced it.
Republicans Take Foreign Money.
Republican Tolerance means Racism, Bigotry, Theocracy, Corporatism.
Republican Theocrats for LIFE!
Republican Cheap Labor Policy.
Republican Campaign Secrecy.
So, let's hear 'em people! Two Word Culture. Let's come up with some happy fun, short, brutal, true, catch phrases, and start using them everywhere we can! I like forum postings, family e-mail replies, and casual conversation myself. "Hey Bob, Republicans Outsource Jobs! Do you think we will be next?"
I just got a note from Alan Grayson, who reports 20 percent of the spending against Democrats is targeted right at him! Don't know about you guys, but that impacted me this evening. (Go Mr. Grayson!)
Dear Kossack,
On Friday, the DC newspaper Politico reported that:
(a) "conservative outside groups" have now spent over $9 million "slamming vulnerable House Democrats," and
(b) the total against me will reach "at least $1.7 million by the end of next week."
Think about that. I am only one member of the U.S. House of Representatives, out of 435. I represent one-quarter of one percent of America. And yet roughly TWENTY PERCENT of spending in the entire country by these shadowy right-wing groups has been spent to defeat . . .
Me.
I feel so proud!
I must be doing something right.
Please contribute $25, $50 or more, to help us turn the tide against this right-wing special interest tsunami.
This is my first term in Congress. I have no seniority. I don’t sit on the most powerful committees, like the Appropriations Committee or the Ways and Means Committee. I’m not a member of the Democratic Leadership. So why would these right-wing groups spend nearly 20 percent of their entire national budget to try to defeat me?
Because I can’t be bought. I won’t do what they tell me to do. And I won’t back down.
Help us fight back! Support our campaign with a contribution.
There are 12,000 registered federal lobbyists. That’s more than 20 for every member of Congress. From Election Night onward, they try to buy you. And if they can’t buy you, then they try to bury you. Which is what is happening now.
My vote is not for sale.
I owe nothing to anyone but the voters. I won’t go to the lobbyists for help. That’s why they’re trying to take me out. The only one to whom I can turn is . . . you. So please help our campaign.
Truth,
Alan Grayson
We've got to have his back! Damn right he's doing something right! Of all the people that should stay in Congress, I have to put Alan Grayson right at the top.
Here in Oregon, Congressman Peter DeFazio is also under attack. Who is Art Robinson? Who is behind the ton of money DeFazio is facing? Is it more Republican Overseas Campaign Contributions?
AM 620 reported that DeFazio believes he is the sole target of the groups backing Art Robinson. Let's call that Republican outsourced Politics.
His Act Blue Page is here.
UPDATE X2: I'm stunned at the poll votes. Having to live with the money in the process, particularly when it can come from overseas is a mistake. Would love to be wrong. Hope I am, but right now, I'm worried. That's just where I'm at on this right now.
--->I might not be grokking the poll results. Is it that "no" it does not make sense, and "yes" we will have to live with it? Please comment on that one, if you have a moment, so I know I botched my poll. Thanks!
