An Appeal from the Bush/Cheney Campaign, with Running Commentary from BuzzFlash

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS

The Bush/Cheney fundraising appeal below was received via email yesterday. It is an actual appeal (although, BuzzFlash did add a few comments in RED).

* * *

From: Chairman Marc Racicot
Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 4:09 PM
Subject: Join President Bush's campaign team.

Marc Racicot August 27, 2003

Dear Joe,

If you support President Bush's strong leadership...

[You're obviously horribly confused about the meaning of "leadership."]

If you're grateful he and Laura have restored honor and dignity to the White House...

[Then either your only news source is Fox, you live in a box, or you need a good dictionary to look up "honor" and "dignity."]

If you believe it's important for America and the world that he and Dick Cheney have four more years in office...

[Then you're more dangerous than they are and should be put in a secure room with soft walls.]

...then I hope you let me send you a Charter Member card identifying you as one of the President's key supporters. Please activate it by making a campaign gift of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, or even $50 or $25 today at www.GeorgeWBush.com/CharterMember/ using the campaign's secure server.

[Most importantly, if you give money to Bush, you're either a greedy opportunist or a patsy and a sucker.]

It's critical to the President you make your Charter Membership gift to his campaign now. For while he's focused on his great responsibilities - winning the war against terrorism and strengthening our economy - he's counting on you and me to get his grassroots campaign off to a strong start, Joe.

[That's because he has NO CAMPAIGN. The wars are killing more and more soldiers every day [LINK], the economy sucks [LINK], the job market is horrid, the government is being sold to the highest bidder, every decent social program is being defunded, and there's a general feeling that something has gone terribly wrong with our country.]

And as chairman of the President's re-election [Uh, you mean "election" -- he didn't win the last one.], I can tell you we need your financial support at www.GeorgeWBush.com/CharterMember/. Democrats and their allies will have more money to spend attacking the President during the nomination battle than we will have to defend him.

[That's not true. Bush has more money. However, as Janeane Garofalo said, "If Bush is such a good President, why does he need $200 Million dollars for his election?" (paraphrased)]

If you need more convincing the President needs your help [The President needs help all right, from a good psychologist and substance-abuse program.], consider what Democrats are saying. The race is just starting, but their rhetoric is already red-hot.

John Kerry claims President Bush is "stealing from America's children." He compared the President to Saddam Hussein, saying America needs a "regime change" just like Iraq did.

Howard Dean said he's heard the President might suspend the 2004 election, called him "reckless" and "despicable," compared our President to the Taliban, and said he was trying to "destroy Social Security, Medicare, our public schools, and public services."

Dick Gephardt said the President's "phony macho business is not getting us where we need to be."

Bob Graham talked "impeachment," accusing the President of "secrecy and manipulation."

John Edwards said the President's plans will "corrupt the American economy."

Joe Lieberman said President Bush "has made us weaker" and was "nearly as dangerous to our long-term security" as Iraqi militants.

The Democrat National Committee depicted the President as a "madman" and a Democrat leader invoked the Holocaust when talking about him and his policies. And another national Democrat leader attacked the President as "the village idiot from Texas."

[Sounds like a platform. BuzzFlash couldn't have said it better.]

This ugly, overheated rhetoric shows Democrats will say anything and stop at nothing to defeat this President. A slash and burn campaign like this will rally the left wing of the Democrat Party, which could matter in an election where 50% of Americans may not vote.

Democrats will have the all-out help of some leaders in the AFL-CIO, many wealthy personal injury trial lawyers, and well-funded liberal special interests. [George Bush has Ken Lay, Bernie Ebbers, and every other greedy, evil, profits-before-lives, corporate snake. And he can keep them, if he can keep them out of jail.] The hundreds of millions of dollars they will spend could make the race close. One wealthy currency trader has already pledged $10 million to defeat the President.

The President needs your help to overcome these assaults and others that lie ahead. [Speaking of "lie," let's talk about Iraq and the lies Bush told [LINK] that are killing our soldiers. THAT, alone, is enough reason to send the Bush Cartel to jail.] So please send your Charter Membership gift for whatever you can afford today at www.GeorgeWBush.com/CharterMember/. The new Federal campaign contribution limit is $2,000 a person or $4,000 a couple. I'll have your Charter Membership card prepared and sent to you as soon as possible after your contribution has been logged in.

There is so much this President has done to lead our country in the war [You mean, "into war"] against terrorism, to strengthen our economy [You're kidding, right? LINK], and to help build a more compassionate society. [Perhaps Cheney and Rove told Bush that "compassion" is the same thing as "killing people for trumped up reasons."]

George W. Bush has the vision our nation needs, the moral clarity the world has been waiting for and the values we want in our President. If you agree, then help him today. Thank you.

[George W. Bush doesn't deserve to clean our septic tank. If you agree, you will do everything within your power to ensure that George W. Bush and his evil cabal of corporate whores never have this kind of power again.]

Sincerely,

Chairman
Bush-Cheney '04

[P.S. We'll let Sally Baron's obit show you how to help: "Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal of President Bush."]

P.S. Please join the President's campaign team and activate your Charter Membership by sending your gift today at www.GeorgeWBush.com/CharterMember/. You'll be casting an early vote for his reelection by doing so...and showing how strongly you disagree with the ugly, untrue things Democrats are saying in their desperate bid for backing from their party's left wing.

The President needs your support today to win.

[BuzzFlash wants you to support any group making sure that doesn't happen.]
