Slight repeat of the past two Surrender Monkey Fridays
It's that time of the week again! Do you have an interesting post you want to share with everyone? The official Surrender Monkey of the Democratic Party says to do what the Lefties don’t, since they all have the same talking points: link it!
Now, I am not here to tell you what to do. If I and my little blog can persuade you or at least give you something to think about, great. Cause, what I have seen is many Republicans go a bit wobbly as of late. They think that they can "punish" the GOP big wigs for their behavior by doing one of three things:
- voting democrat
- voting for a third party
- not voting
What do the Democrats have to offer? Let's ask Howard Dean, who was nice enough to email his thoughts
Here's how the Republicans are trying to win this election:
- President Bush himself is trying to scare voters with ridiculous claims, saying that "terrorists win and America loses" if Democrats were to take control of Congress.
- In Missouri, Michael J. Fox recently appeared in a heartfelt ad for Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, criticizing the Republican incumbent's opposition to stem cell research. The GOP smear machine immediately attacked Fox and McCaskill, with Rush Limbaugh even suggesting Fox was faking his symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the ad.
- In Tennessee, the Republican Party ran racist ads aimed at dredging up some of the worst racial prejudices imaginable. The ads attacking Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford, who is African-American, show a scantily clad white woman beckoning to him. The ad is so bad that some TV stations are refusing to run it, and non-political companies have fired the Republican consultants who made it. The RNC refused to denounce the disgusting ad, despite a public outcry.
- In California, one Republican campaign took a page from the national GOP playbook, which calls for suppressing minority voters at every opportunity. The campaign sent a false and deliberately misleading mailing to Hispanics in the district that threatened jail time for any immigrant — legal or not — who tried to vote.
What do we have in response? You — and millions of other people who want change just like you do. We're running the broadest get-out-the-vote operation our party has attempted in a generation. It's called the 50-State Turnout — and it's working.
Threats, smears and insults from the Republicans are being met with phone calls, person-to-person outreach and an Election Day operation that will bring more people into the political process than ever before.
We have urgent needs for printed materials, rental vans, and all the other things our staff and volunteers are using to get more people participating on Election Day.
If you make a donation right now, it will be matched by a real person — you'll see that person's name and hometown, and you can exchange messages if you'd like.
Ah. So their plan to counter the GOP is to……ask for money. I guess that is what Dean's job actually is, but, with 4 days left before the midterms, you would think they would actually offer some sort of plan or idea.
There is actually more to the email, but, it is all about raising money. I'd love to link it up at Democrats.org, but, sadly, they no longer have a page about messages from the DNC Chairman anymore. LOL!!!!
Do you have an interesting post? Or just a post? 
Want it spread around? Well, go ahead and link it up! Otherwise, Howard Dean might actually find a plan!
Send a trackback to this post, but don’t forget to link it.
