Cat Killer Frist sends email warning, "Our Country Can't Afford A Democrat Victory"
From: Senator Bill Frist, M.D.{SIC} <ecampaign@gop.com>
Date: Oct 27, 2006
Subject: Our Country Can't Afford A Democrat Victory


This week, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry dumped $1 million from their campaign war chests into Democrat coffers. They answered the call of liberal groups who are pressing Democrats to pour tens of millions into a final push to gain control of Congress.

RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman issued his own challenge to you and me Wednesday night - asking us to help him to double the Kennedy / Kerry bid for Congress.

Thousands of our grassroots supporters have already responded. The momentum is on our side and we need to keep it going. Will you help today?


Kennedy and Kerry are leading the charge for good reason. As Kennedy said, he sees this election as "a critical opportunity to reverse the damage done by the Bush Administration".

But I can tell you this: Democrats are wrong on every issue: From surveillance of international calls coming into our country to securing our borders to keeping our economy strong.

As Senate Majority Leader, I've worked closely with leaders of the Democrat Party -- and I can say without a doubt they have repeatedly proven to lack the credibility and ideas needed to lead the United States Congress.

Nancy Pelosi -- who the Democrats want to be Speaker of the House -- said "I don't really consider us at war." We cannot turn the War on Terror over to that kind of thinking.

Harry Reid -- who would be the Senate Majority Leader if Democrats win -- has called President Bush a "loser" and repeatedly uses obstructionist tactics including the threat of shutting down the Senate in order to "screw things up."

Charlie Rangel -- who will become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee -- said "No question about it" when asked whether he would consider raising taxes on all Americans.

That is the just the tip of the iceberg. Democrats proudly talk about raising taxes, retreating in on the War on Terror, cutting and running from Iraq and starting impeachment hearings against President.{SIC}

We cannot let the Democrats succeed.

There are only 11 days until the election.

<snip>

Democrats hope to win on November 7th by using vicious and angry attacks against our Party and our President instead of proposing solutions to the issues that face America.

We are a nation at war with a determined enemy who continues to plot against America. And Republican leadership of Congress during the final two years of the Bush Presidency is the best way our country can continue to answer threats to our security head on. We have made the tough decisions on keeping our nation safe with little or no support from Democrats.

Though I'll be leaving office and returning home to Tennessee this year, I am determined to do all I can to help Republicans keep our majorities in both Houses of Congress. {Before he goes to JAIL!}

<snip>


Sincerely,


Bill Frist, M.D.{SIC}
U.S. Senator, Tennessee

4. Let's look at the lies shall we?
1. "...keeping our economy strong."
As has been shown time and again, while the numnbers for the economy look quite good, the real income earnings for people under 100,000/yr continues to slip. If you're Dick Cheney and Bill Gates, the economy is great. If you're Bill Cheney and Dick Gates, the economy is not good.

2. "...As Senate Majority Leader, I've worked closely with leaders of the Democrat Party"
As has been proven time-and-again, the republikkans have totally shut the Democrats out of almost all decisions and discussions on issues. The only way they've included the Democrats has been when Harry Reid has stalled or when they invite joe lieBermann in to castigate the Democratic Party.

3."...Charlie Rangel -- who will become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee -- said "No question about it" when asked whether he would consider raising taxes on all Americans."
This is the most interesting statement. Rangel has said he'd repeal portions of the tax cuts...the ones that benefit people making $250,000 a year or more. Now either cat killer is flat out lying when he says all Americans. Or, "cat-killer" only considers the extremely wealthy in America to be Americans.

4. "...repeatedly proven to lack the credibility and ideas needed to lead the United States Congress. "
They get away with this line because the media pays no attention. Kerry, Kennedy, etal have put forth proposals and position papers on the economy, Iraq and other issues. The republikkaners never allow them to come to a discussion or a vote.

5. "...momentum is on our side."
I guess getting your ass-kicked is cat-killers definition of momentum.

8. I don't understand how ANYONE can vote for a Republican.
They have done NOTHING for the American people for years on end. Even the most conservative Republicans are pissed off about the financial mismanagement and criminal activity. The fundies realize they've been duped. It boils down to really stupid people who have been brainwashed by Fox.

9. Unfortunately, some of those true conservative repubs
would rather vote for a bad repub than a good democrat. Don't know how to change it other than keep asking them the questions and bombarding them with facts. Something has to sink in some day.
