Palin for Congress? a message from Paul Begala


Only 20 Days Left Until The Election

Make no mistake about it, Sarah Palin is basically running for Congress this year.

Her name might not appear on any ballot but Palin-endorsed Republican clones are running and many of them are in too-close-to-call races, which makes things a little too close for comfort!

The latest outrage is that the US Chamber of Commerce — a multimillion-dollar corporate lobbying machine — broadcast the HOME PHONE NUMBER of one of our Democratic candidates. The candidate’s daughters couldn’t use the phone anymore because of what her spokesperson called, “harassment and abuse.”

How’s that for family values?

Meanwhile, Ms. Palin is raising money and motivating her base. She probably thinks she can see a Republican majority from her front porch.

You can turn Ms. Palin’s vision into a Wasilla mirage. The DCCC’s October Rapid Response Fund ads are already making a difference and their impressive get out the voter efforts have mobilized thousands of volunteers. But my friends at the DCCC need your urgent support to hit their goal of $500,000 before Friday’s deadline to wire urgently-needed money to Democratic campaigns.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the October Rapid Response Fund before Friday’s midnight deadline. Your generous support is urgently needed to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

This is no longer your father’s Republican Party. I’ve been through a lot of elections, but I have never seen a group of Republican candidates as far-right as this group of Palin’s recruits.

The DCCC is just $242,226 away from their Rapid Response goal for this Friday’s Midnight Deadline. They have Rapid Response ads ready to go up in every battleground district where a Palin protege is running so Democrats can hit back hard against their Palin-esque tall tales.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the October Rapid Response Fund before Friday’s midnight deadline. Your generous support is urgently needed to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

Every dollar you give can be the difference between victory for one of these Palin Republicans or their defeat.

P.S. The DCCC is just $242,226 away from their Rapid Response goal to fund ads in every battleground district where a Palin protege is running. Contribute before Friday at Midnight to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

25 Days Until the Election

25 Days Until the Election

In jujitsu, whenever you get hit, you turn it right back against your opponent. The same is true in politics.

The Republicans are using the final days of this campaign to attack Democrats with the financial resources of Big Banks, Big Oil, and Big Insurance companies, all channeled through secretive outside groups.

We must turn this force right back against them by tattooing the real agenda of these corporate special interests onto every Republican candidate they are supporting.

Time is running short. We need the support of every Democrat committed to stopping a corporate takeover of our elections to raise the $27,896 more we need before tonight’s TV ad buy deadline hits.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Rapid Response Ad Fund before our Midnight Tonight deadline. Your support will help Democrats remind voters who is behind these secretive outside group attacks and hold the Republicans fully accountable.

These outside groups have euphemistic names like “Americans for Prosperity,” “American Crossroads,” and the “American Future Fund.” That last one is the most ironic, since their singular goal is to take America right back to the past by bringing back the exact same Republican agenda that drove our economy into a terrible ditch.

We cannot remain silent in the face of these attacks on our courageous House Democrats who have worked so hard to move America forward.

As we have learned from our successful election victories, the only answer for this kind of combat is combat.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Rapid Response Ad Fund before our Midnight Tonight deadline. Your support will help Democrats remind voters who is behind these secretive outside group attacks and hold the Republicans fully accountable.

There is no doubt that we will retain our Democratic House Majority as long as we have you in this fight. We cannot wake up on the day after Election Day with any regrets.

Thank you,
Nancy Pelosi

Speaker of the House

P.S. We must turn the force of these secretive outside groups right back around by tattooing their real agenda onto every Republican candidate whom they are supporting. Please contribute to the DCCC’s Rapid Response Ad Fund before our Midnight Tonight deadline.

TGIF ….&some News


My rant …sorry for the mis info this morn … the 60million dollar issue is addressed in an article on the blog …read it

Today we are not just talking about class war but the Republican Tea party has been able to stir up public dissent and obviously if given the opportunity will:  put Corporations ahead of the people  ,continue race baiting, using fear and hate to make points to win in November and it is starting to get under my skin. I know that this same crap happened when folks were debating how competent Palin was and if you were watching “the Media” played her as the spoiler ready to go. It was upsetting that so many had that same tingle going up their leg but with all the noise coming from so many places common sense prevailed. The question is will people come to their senses before making their final decision on Nov.2nd or will we get played and succumb to repeal, replace, and an elimination of what America is. Will someone tell me what happened to our democracy that people would much rather vote for a looney tunes then those who truly have the people, the country in mind before profits and purity ideology….

When will Republican constituents finally get tired of do as we say not as we do mentally?

This morning while on the bus, I  picked up on a possible shady move by Republican Governor Christie that should show all of us one of several reasons  why we should not trust Republicans and why our economy has yet to improve. The money already spent and jobs lost from possibly killing the Hudson Tunnel project is an act that is reprehensible. The actions from  Governor Christie plus major Corporations who seemingly are the ones who create jobs …are clearly holding out, outsourcing and refusing to be apart of the economic solution.  They have quickly become an even bigger problem now that we are 2weeks away from the mid-term elections and if there is such a thing as fair and balanced all those who have dumped, solicited and took foreign money will be found out and be subjected to the rule of law. The Supreme Court, specifically Justice Roberts and the law he helped to enact which put Corporations on the same playing field as an individual seriously needs vetting.  To continue …Since we only have a couple of weeks left before the mid-term elections the rants probably will be about the crap being said done or the videos being made by the Republican Tea Party that are questionable at best silly though not funny and offensive and racially moved. When i registered to vote it was to be a democrat, there was no question because my parents made it clear exactly which side of the aisle Republicans stand and why. It was clear then and now it has become  even more apparent in this year of 2010 it is an American duty to vote for politicians that work for the greater good…People need to ask themselves what qualities are needed to do the peoples business not just a select few but for All Americans. The vote on November 2nd will be a vote for a Congress that will do more research before forcing a pre-emptive strike and going into war. someone open to new science…like stem-cell research, admitting that there are enough gays in congress and other parts of the political arena that the laws need to be changed, someone willing to say that women and men should be paid the same and change it, admit that minorities are not represented on all levels and change it , who have not lost  compassion for others and are willing to stand up and speak out for the middle and lower class. The things we are going through are all non-partisan realities… we are living in a different world…one that requires us to come together and decide as a human race, not as democrats or republicans; at least that is what the American public use to think but after losing power to the Democratic Party in 2008 and having the first African-American President the Republican Tea Party has decided to go not just extreme but use discrimination as a threat to all those who are non-white i guess because I personally cannot think of anything else they can use. The mid-term elections were called the year of the woman, Republican Tea Party crazy women that is and got to say as a woman they not only offend me just exactly how Sarah Palin did back in 2008 with strange comments. It is offensive and apparently folks on the right of center would rather have the crazies in power and while the comments are outlandish and those of us with common sense say wow that is crazy but feel, no one could take this stuff too crazy. The fact is something ugly is going on out there and it is stirring up people to vote for a different party right in the middle of a recession just because the corrections have not happened yet. It is sad that folks think for even one moment that years of financial deregulation, Wall Street bets, and outsourcing would only take 2yrs to fix but when people actually start to believe that the Republican Party has more knowledge or trust to get us back on track we all have to wonder if people have lost their minds. I have to say -WTF because the house of Bush took office with a surplus and the end of his 2nd term he gave up his power with America just about ready to fall of the edge of a ditch. It is clear that folks just do not get that it will take time to fix our economy and right now if you are even paying attention the trickle down that Republicans talk about just ain’t happenin it didn’t then and it isn’t now … people need to understand that Corporations are holding back their funds until they get their way and who is suffering because of this -All Americans not just the democratic side of the issues. I cannot tell anyone how upsetting that states continue to lay off Teachers,firefighters, emts and the police …

What information do constituents of the Republican Tea party need …what will happen if they shut down the govt- what will happen to your family if they do repeal everything and more importantly what will your neighborhood look like when the chaos reaches your town.
im just sayin
