Max Cleland: Karl Rove Tactics

Senator Max Cleland sent the following message to DCCC supporters:

Dear Friend, Help our candidates fight Rove-style tactics!

Torture, cronyism, abuse of power, flagrant disregard for our Constitution, and now what could be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. These are just some of the reasons why we need to change course right now.

Our proud Democratic candidates are out there fighting to help us create that change come November 4th. But, I know all too well what can happen when Karl Rove smear and fear tactics are used against Democrats working for change. They did it to me in 2002. Now I'm fighting to make sure they don't get away with it again in 2008.

In just 24 hours, we face a critical deadline the last chance to effectively purchase additional ad time for candidates under Republican attack to make sure they can get on the air, stay on the air and never back down. Rush a generous donation of $15, $25, or more before midnight tomorrow.

We need immediate change from the Karl Rove politics and the Bush-Cheney policies. The more Democrats we have in Congress, the more change we can bring. The DCCC is trying to raise $2 million for the October Emergency Media Fund online before midnight Tuesday to help fund another week of ad time for key candidates. We are just $700,000 away from our goal - your contribution could help put us over the top.

Don't let the same Karl Rove tactics lead to the same George Bush policies. Rush a generous donation of $15, $25, or more before midnight tomorrow.

With less than 30 days to go, time is limited for candidates to fight these attacks. That's why we need supporters like you to step up and make the contribution that could be the difference between winning and losing in a close race. . The good folks at the DCCC have 60 strong Democratic House candidates who are ready to help Barack Obama bring that change to Washington. But with John McCain, Sarah Palin, and the Republicans in Congress now using the same Karl Rove tactics they used on me to attack our candidates, we can't stay silent.

Don't let the same Karl Rove tactics lead to the same George Bush policies. Contribute $15, $25, or more before midnight Tuesday.

In the final days of a campaign, every single dollar has an impact. More than 75 House races are in play - and most of them could go either way right now. Our candidates need resources.

A single TV or radio ad or a few more door knocks that your dollars help to fund could make all the difference.

The Republicans are attacking Barack Obama and all these good Democratic House candidates with the same ferocity they used on me 2002.

Let's show the world that Democrats have had enough.

Max Cleland

P.S. There's just 29 days left until Election Day. Let's not let the same Karl Rove tactics lead to the same George Bush policies. Rush a generous gift of $15, $25, or more before midnight Tuesday.

I can’t under why Sydney Schanberg’s article in the Nation (about POW’s being left in N. Vietnam and McCain’s willingness to keep it secret)is not being used against him.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who is currently a Vice Presidential Candidate, has been getting more negative responses from the mainstream media than she has in praises. For example, last weekend she made her late-night entertainment debut on NBC’s well-liked pop culture mainstay, Saturday Night Live. Instead of praising her for being the good sport she was, she was criticized by the press for her appearance. For several weeks now, jabs left and right have been taken at Palin, attempting to knock her out on everything. They question her performance as Governor of Alaska and her possible position as the Vice President of the United States. They had even extensively utilized the story of her seventeen-year old daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock to spread a horrendous tale to further condemn the VP candidate. Some in the media, including moderate experts, have stooped so low as to insinuate that our country will fall if something should happen to Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain, forcing Palin to take over the office of Presidency. These attacks are low-blows packed with half-truth or outright lies. Conversely, a large number of people admire Palin for her hard work and efforts that brought better things to her home state of Alaska. Many come to her defense, pointing to her unwavering support for the disabled, her work in the interest of children and people with special needs. People have put their faith in Sarah Palin, considering her support for personal responsibility and financial freedom. Much of this includes her fight against the destruction of cash advances, which is a legitimate and invaluable resource that many responsible, hard-working citizens have come to rely on in times of unexpected financial situations.Post Courtesy of Personal Money StoreProfessional Blogging TeamFeed Back:  1-866-641-3406Home: http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans.htmlBlog: http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/
