On Tuesday I received yet another exciting missive from the Republican National Committee. I decided to edit it to purge it of hypocrisy and lies. In other words, this is what it said to me as I read through it. The sections I changed are italicized.
Dear Chris,
As the Campaign Manager for Bush-Cheney '04, I know President Bush's second Inauguration went forward despite prudence, common sense, a clear and fair electoral process and your best efforts.
In my capacity now as Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), I am asking for your continued support for our President and Party.
Please join the RNC today as a Sustaining Member by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50 or $75 to help President Bush to continue to eviscerate our nation's economy and destabilize the entire geopolitical balance. The president and the Republicans in Congress are incapable of standing on the truth and justice of their actions, so we must step up our marketing, propaganda and bribery efforts.
Chris, the RNC is our Party's official national campaign organization. It does more to support President Bush and promote our amoral, selfish and overtly anti-Christian conservative agenda than any other GOP committee.
The RNC is going to be critically important to the success of President Bush's efforts to make over our country into a fascist theocracy. The President has (...) goals for us: a flaccid economy, vulnerable homeland and overstretched defense, protection of malfeasant companies from their victims and the destruction of Social Security in order to enrich the financial sector at the expense of working people and unaffordable healthcare. But we need your help to get the President's message past the media bullshit filter, to help us propagandize directly to the American people.
Democrats and those with common sense -- who will try to stonewall President Bush and his special-interest allies -- are hoping you will ignore my request and remain on the sidelines until the next election. President Bush, Republican Congressional Leaders, the President's friends in business here and abroad, lobbyists, lawyers and other conservative special-interest fat cats and our candidates are counting on you to step forward and answer my call today. A lobbyist cannot live by caviar alone, you know!
Your contribution of $25, $50 or even $100 to join the RNC is crucial to providing President Bush with the resources he needs to keep our agenda moving forward because there's just not enough money in raiding the treasury and robbing you blind any other way.
We need you on the Republican team -- your continued support of our President during his second term is extremely important. Please become an RNC Sustaining Member today. Thank you.
Best Wishes,
Ken Mehlman
RNC Chairman
