Every single dime you could legally raise from actual republicans won't save your asses now.

However, if you raise unanimous voices for impeaching and imprisoning Smirky/Darth immediately, it's remotely possible that Barack, Nancy and Harry will seriously consider not throwing every last one of you into Guantanamo come Jan. 21.

In the alternative, you could just kill yourselves now and deny us the fun of slowly torturing you to death.

Good grief - are you actually taking serious encouragement from a Republican fund-raising letter that (gasp!) claims that if people don't send money horrible things might happen? Are you so afraid of losing that this means something to you?

They've been posturing and talking tough for a a decade or so. It's fun to see them using the language of despair, even if it's only to pull a few dimes out the pockets of the faithful

Because they've got special precognitive powers that lead them to conclude that Barack can't possibly win this fall.

Is that Fristspeak for "frighten the rubes" or "offend the holy rollers"? I guess it's probably both.

As for his "prediction" of a Democratic landslide, no, it doesn't give me any comfort, coming as it does form the man who watched a videotape of Terry Schiavo and decided she was aware and alert.

Well, she was probably aware and alert enough to be a Republican senator.

But we must urgently realize that is "what WILL be" if we don't energize our grassroots and get to work right away.

Umm, what grassroots? You mean the hundreds of millions of Americans who *like* going jobless and penniless so billionaires can get even richer?

I thought they already had mobilized their grassroots. All of K Street is already working for McCain.

is NOT waking up to this headline.

To be astonished at how close this election actually was. Of course like their GOP doppleganger dipshits, they'll declare that a 1% margin of victory is a clear mandate.

In November Obamanauts will pull their heads out of their assholes long enough

lighten up, francis...

Just what exactly is your malfunction?

Obama is going to crush the senescent senior senator from Arizona . . . and it'll be even worse in the House adn the Senate.

Can Dubbya spell J-A-I-L-T-I-M-E??

I hope that the landslide doesn't cause anyone to cry on shoulder and give him AIDS.

Every election cycle we are treated to screaming headlines that "Democrats are getting all the money". This only applies when the news media focus on certain, single, head-to-head comparisons and ignore the overall money flow. The Republican National Committee is out raising the Democratic National Committee

Add to that all of the Republican companies, such as Blackwater and Haliburton, with substantial White House ties who know where to "tithe" their money when it comes to campaign contributins.

By the time it is over, 2008 will be like every other election year with Republicans (and their allies) outspending Democrats (and their allies) by at least 1.5 to 1, if not more.

Bill Frist's letter and the rest of the ("Mainstream") media's articles are just part of the Conservative campaign to scare out even more money from the (Republican) party faithful.

Completely different flavor. "Send money because the libruls are all foriegn islamofascist commie sympathizers" is the old line. I'm more amused by the bew "Omigod, Omigod, Omigod we are so screwed if you don't send money" strategy.

and the GOP doing what they do best - scaring up money and votes. Is this seriously that baffling to you, Alex?

I certainly hope you don't actually believe that.

After all Obama ALONE has raised a QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS. That's Billion with a B.

And I personally have only given about 250 bucks. And I'm not even a registered DEMOCRAT! My husband and I are ready and willing (and able) to give our allowed maximum (thank god)and I'm more than confident that many of the nearly 2 million individual donors JUST TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN will be able to scratch up another 5,10, 15, 20, 100, 200, 2000 dollars between now and November. No question about it.

Don't forget also that good old Hillary hasn't done such a shabby job of fundraising this primary season either. Together they've raised MORE than any candidates in history.

No. I'm afraid we've got this one locked down this year by virtue of the fact that we have such great organization and individual involvement.

The repubs might do OK (they usually do, I'll admit) but they won't be able to touch us this season. Sorry.

I haven't made a contribution to Obama's campaign since...early May. I'm waiting for the general election.

So now he's trying to spread panicky manure over the Republican Party to squeeze money out of them. Hello, after all the lies, arrogance, incompetence and corruption of the past eight years, of COURSE you're worried about raising enough out of people who are losing jobs and homes! Maybe Wright was right about the Chickens coming home to roost, eh? That's what you get for trying to "save" a woman brain dead for ten years.

First McClellan, now this. I'm almost afraid to hope it will happen, but I'm SO looking forward to reading that exact same headline on November 5!

This pretty much sums up the conservative mind.

I'd be scared, too, if I was the captain of a galleon transporting gold from Panama, and all the rats started jumping aboard at the faraway sight of a Jolly Roger.

I've noticed this general despair amongst the Republicans for awhile now.. they are pretty much convinced that they can't win, and yet, as a Democrat, I think they have pretty good chances of pulling it off. I feel like telling them, there, there little guys, don't forget the American public voted for Bush in 2004... even though he was so crippled intellectually and emotionally, he was vetting his audiences to make sure no non-true- believers came to his campaign events (this from THE PRESIDENT, the supposed leader of the entire United States). Take heart, GOP -- the conservative ideology is still the default mode of thinking for a thin majority of the American public, despite its obvious flaws and the ineptitude of the politicians who espouse it. They aren't quite hip to your con yet. There is still damage left to do!
