These People Think You're An Idiot

The Republicans are showing their contempt for you and for every American. Contempt? Hatred?

Yes. A resounding, loudly trumpeted "YES!"
And "How," you ask, "are they showing this contempt and hatred?"

They are trying to get you to believe something absurd, something that will convince you that their candidate is actually qualified to be George W. McCain's next melanoma away from being President. The candidate in question is John McBush's choice for his running mate in the upcoming presidential election: Sarah Palin, Alaska's governor for the past 20 months.
All of this begs the question: just how unqualified is that person? Is that the best they have?

Political Dynamite

What if there was a vote to decide if $13.5 billion in tax breaks for oil companies should go into oil alternatives, like solar and wind? What would you want your Senator to do?

Well, as you probably guessed, there was such a vote. We needed 60 votes to prevail, and 59 of them were in. But John McCain ducked the vote.1

As a result, instead of powering millions of homes with clean energy and building next-generation solar technology, we're giving ExxonMobil and other companies billions in tax breaks at a time when they're already making record profits.

This vote is political dynamite. And if we all pitch in, we can make sure voters know about McCain's give-away to big oil. And it's a twofer—we'll run the ad in the battleground state of North Carolina to help remind voters that Senator Elizabeth Dole, who's up for re-election, voted for big oil tax breaks, too.

Check out the ad.

The ad links Republican support for oil tax breaks with the campaign contributions they're taking from the oil companies.

Exposing their favors for big oil can puncture Republican promises to help people hurting from high gas prices.

Our ad can help defeat McCain, win a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and promote real solutions to the energy crisis. Can you help put this ad on the air?

This is near the top of the list of critical issues facing America today. I sent a donation. Will you?

A Two-Fer: Why To Elect McCain

A Two-fer

Elect me and I'll be the first rich old white guy to beat one of them dark-skinned people.

Don't elect me and I'll be the first rich old white guy to NOT beat one of them dark-skinned people.

And that, my friends, is the real Straight Talk.

Another Campaign Slogan for Bush Lite

I can guarantee you that I won't get a &%$#Job from any White House intern... or from Larry Craig or Mark Foley or Ted Haggard or any army queers who did or didn't tell.

Let's face it: or anyone else....

That, my friends, is the real straight talk.
