Brian Wolff's e-mail yesterday, claiming victory against Bush on the issue of Iraq funding is so offensive, that I called, emailed and wrote them.

RE: Brian Wolff

Dear sirs:

I received the most incredibly inane, spin-based, insulting, and unbelievable e-mail from Mr. Wolff that should be brought to your attention. The idea that he could claim victory at a time when the Democratic party lost its spine, bent over, offered the president his choice of KY Jelly or baby oil, then did his bidding on the issue of IraqNam funding is either the height of arrogance, or an indication that someone is off his meds and is badly in need of psychological counseling, perhaps, even institutionalization.

Seventy percent of the American public wanted Congress to act bravely, to stand up to the worst administration in history, and to set a specific date to take our troops out of harm's way. It is bad enough to learn that the president lied us into an occupation. It is worse when we learn that the CIA warned against an invasion because Al Qaida AND a home grown insurgency would spring up. It is even far worse when the GAO reports that this funding bill will not change anything, and that our DOD has sufficient funds to easily last until September. But Wolff's comments go beyond that, in terms of hurbis, spin and deceit.

So long as the DCCC continues to employ a walking disaster like Wolff, you can count me out for any kind of support, including financial, time, effort, letter writing, calling or even driving elderly democrats to the polls, all of which I did last year. I repeat, either Mr. Wolff and his ilk go, or many, many angry Democrats will boycott your organization and fight you tooth and nail in every primary.

I am so disgusted by Wolff's e-mail that it is difficult to express my anger. I surely don't expect any sort of response, not when it seems as though your organization has its cranial bones stuck deeply where they are safe from solar radiation. Once Wolff is gone, perhaps, with sufficient mea culpas, I may consider returning. Until then, sign me IRATE at the DCCC,

Enough said.

2. Great letter, antifaschits, and I hear they're getting lots of them. I

wonder if they had any clue they'd inspire this reaction? Good job!

3. Go to their homepage and unsubscribe

It is the only message to which they will listen .

Wonder how many dollars this farce of a fund raising drive will bring in for the DCCC. Better yet, how many members have they lost. I see over at dKos the air was busy with the Kossacks unsubscribing all over the place.

Breaking News: Because of your help, the House just passed legislation that will go to the White House that includes critical issues Democrats have been fighting for including: canceling the President's blank check in Iraq, raising the minimum wage, and increased funding for military health care and veterans' benefits, and help for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Dear ,

THEN:
Two weeks ago, President Bush vetoed our legislation to demand accountability in Iraq and declared he would only sign a bill without any accountability for his management of the war.

NOW:
Now, the President has agreed to accountability and reporting provisions. That means for the first time we can force the President to be held accountable for his endless war in Iraq. We canceled the President's blank check in Iraq.

Why the sudden change? It's because of you that we have taken this first important step. You stood with us here at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) every step of the way. You signed petitions against the President's failed policies, spoke out on the need to change course in Iraq, and wrote letters-to-the-editors in support of the issues Americans care about.

As the President's resistance shows, there is no quick and easy way to end this war.

As Speaker Pelosi said today about the vote, "This debate will go on." Democrats believe ending this war is a step-by-step process and today marks a significant step in this direction.

I will need your help again to take the next step in our fight to end this war. Tomorrow, Democrats in the House will announce a new plan to bring legislation forward that includes timetables.

They will need your help to make this a reality. Together, we have come this far and I know together we can do even more. It will take both sides working together to truly bring this war to a successful and responsible end. That's why I need you to do even more to speak out and voice your support. You can do so at our DCCC Iraq Resource Center.

Today marks a new beginning for America. We took a step forward together as a nation - away from the failures of the President's policies and toward a more hopeful time. Democrats are committed to redeploying our troops and ending the war in Iraq once and for all. Our commitment will never change and our dedication will never stop.

I hope I can count on your continued support.

Sincerely,


Brian Wolff
Executive Director


P.S. –The fight to end the war in Iraq is far from over. With your continued help, we will keep up the pressure on the President to listen to the advice of his commanders and the will of the American people. But we will only succeed if we move forward together. Please visit the DCCC's Iraq Resource Center and get involved in the fight today.






It's an outright lie to us, no other way to see this. How stupid does he think we are to buy this shit?
