How big of a sucker would I have to be to fall for this kind of fundraising appeal from Joe Biden on behalf of the DSCC?
Dear Jason,
I am writing to you today because at a moment when the stakes are highest, Democrats in the Senate face the toughest electoral climate we’ve seen in a long time.
Democrats are defending 23 seats in 2012, five of which are open. Republicans only need to pick up four to take control of the Senate.
President Obama and I believe that government has a responsibility to invest, to give people the tools to make the most of their own lives. But many of today’s Republicans have a different vision.
That’s why I’m writing to you today. The end of the month’s FEC deadline is a crucial test of our strength. By giving to the DSCC, you have the power to prove to the pundits and our opponents that grassroots Democrats are standing together to defend our firewall.
I’d have to be a pretty huge sucker to think…
1) that the DSCC hasn’t already fucking quit on the idea of being in the majority,
2) that having a Dem majority in the Senate mattered,
3) that the DSCC would not give the money to Republican wannabes like Ben Nelson or Tom Carper, AND
4) THIS FUCKING SCARE TACTICS BULLSHIT WINS ELECTIONS.
You’d have to be the biggest idiot in the world to give money to the DSCC. This very strategy failed miserably just last year – but here we go again.
*head slap*
