As the risk of sounding redundant, I got the stupidest email from Newsmax.
I get there stuff be cause I accidentally voted in a poll at some right wing website. Since the stuff they send is so laughable, I decided not to ask Dave to block their e-mails. I also kind of like having a window into what crazy republicans believe.

Anyway this is by far the stupidest thing yet...

I kid you not this was copied and pasted directly from their e-mail.

Hidden Democratic Game Plan for 527s


If you thought the idea behind the 527s has been to buy TV ads attacking George Bush, you're wrong.


BusinessWeek revealed their hidden strategy in a small item that received little press attention. But it caught our eye.


So far, the pro-Kerry 527s have spent $33 million on TV ads bashing Bush.


But the same 527s, backed by Bush-hating billionaires like George Soros, have spent more than triple that amount - some $85 million -- on registering new (read Democratic) voters.


These voter registration drives are below the radar screen, but may prove decisive for the Democrats on Election Day.


Steve Rosenthal, head of one of the leading 527s, Americans Coming Together, says, "There has never been anything like this magnitude of voter contact in history."


Rosenthal doesn't lie. The Republicans -- already on track to be outspent by the Democrats by 2 to 1 -- have not mounted any comparative effort.


There is no hard data on how effective the grassroots voter efforts have been so far, but NewsMax hears that the 527s are pouring millions into building get-out-the-vote operations in two states: Florida and Ohio.
*************************************************************

So registering voters is a bad thing? Oh Lord, people might actually vote in this election. This is hilarious, and just more proof that the neo-fascists hate democracy.

1. HAHAHAHA
Whine you GOP bastards, whine!

I can't believe they would actually COMPLAIN about those evil Democratic 527s having the nerve to go and register people. For shame, trying to increase the number of people participating in the democratic process.

2. That's not redundant, that's actually incredible.
You received THE stupidest e-mail from Newsmax? That's quite an honor, because all of their e-mails are stupid. If you received the stupidest one (as in most stupid), you're the champ!! :toast:


You realize I'm kidding, right? ;)

3. Bush-hating billionaires like George Soros
:eyes:

Yeah, and there are just SO many of them, right?

Don't MOST billionaires BACK Bush because of his economic policies?

6. A little OT but...
... I really don't see why the cons always cite Newsmax as a source for arguments. I get in internet debates all the time with this one Repuke and he always brings up some idiotic newsmax article to try to prove his point, which I always quickly debunk. You would think that they would get tired of being made to look like an ass because of that site but they never do.

I guess there is no real way to make true believers see that they have been deceived.

7. I was reading that
WAITING for the bad part. Then it ended.

I had the same reaction as you did. REGISTERING VOTERS??? This is their great crime?

What point have we reached when registering voters is seen with suspicion?

I weep....
