From the Desk of Hillary Rodham Clinton (Shudder)

email | 3/23/2004 | Hillary Rodham Clinto,

[listenhillary]

I appreciate having this opportunity to talk with you about something that's important to both of us -- the 2004 presidential election. You and I share a strong desire to put John Kerry in the White House, and we're not alone:

Did you know that in the past five days, nearly 75,000 people from all across the country have donated almost $7 million to help John Kerry get his message out?

I am writing today to ask you for your help, too.

By contributing to this great cause, you can make sure that John Kerry's message of hope, promise, and opportunity isn't drowned out in a sea of Republican attacks.

We've already seen how mean-spirited a race the Republicans plan to run this year. George W. Bush has even gone negative in his television ads. Should they be allowed to get away with this kind of campaigning?

No! John Kerry is going to fight back every step of the way, and we need to be there to help him. Because we know that, in an open contest of ideas, John Kerry's leadership and vision for America will win out against George W. Bush's narrow agenda.

I have known John a long time, and it has been a pleasure to work with him in the Senate for more than three years. I've seen firsthand the power of his intellect, the breadth of his experience, and the depth of his commitment to Democratic values. This campaign is not just about sending George W. Bush back to Texas. It is about restoring hope, opportunity, and prosperity to our nation by electing John Kerry president.

I am delighted to be a part of this dramatic display of our Party's unity and sense of purpose. Our spirits are high and our determination to win is the strongest I have ever seen. I urge you to help make history by helping make John Kerry's ten day fundraising drive a big success. Will you join us today?

Thank you for taking the time to consider this request, and I hope we can count on you to help John Kerry get his message out, and get America moving in the right direction again.

With best regards,

Well, that certainly sounded sincere! (not)

[Mark]

It takes a village (to be pardoned).

[AZamericonnie]

Brought a tear to my eye! lol

[mountaineer]

I really don't believe this was written by the Hildebeaste. Where are the "ums" and "you knows"?

[I still care]

She must be getting ready to stab him in the back.

[Ruth A.]

nearly 75,000 people from all across the country have donated almost $7 million

Why does this seem not likely to me? During which five days specifically is she addressing? Did 5 donors come up with 95% of that figure?

I have known John a long time, and it has been a pleasure to work with him in the Senate for more than three years.

Just how long?

Run of the mill fund raising stuff. Not very inspired, either. This woman has never had an inspired writer or delivery.

[Ditter]

I miss my old truck, it had a bumpersticker that read:
I WISH I LIVED IN NY SO I COULD VOTE AGAINST HILLARY.

If she gets on the '04 ticket I'll get my wish!

[InvisibleChurch]

i'll bet she didn't write a word of it

[DoctorMichael]

STFU

[mountaineer]

John Kerry's message of hope, promise, and opportunity

Mmnpphhh! Huh?

[drypowder]

Kind a reminds me of the "you're a hell of an AG and we need you" talk LBJ gave to Bobby Kennedy following JFK's assassination. It was no secret these two had nothing but disdain for each other and the rest is history.

[connectthedots]

I wonder if this is a special website that tracks contributions to this letter and how much of the take Hillary gets?

How would one find out?

[Pipeline]

I'm submitting an invoice for putting up with the Kerry BS!

Works out to $93.33 each. Musta been tapped-out from the cost of all the same-sex-marriage reception parties taking place lately. Putting two grooms on a cake makes it a fruit cake.

...his commitment to Democratic values.

There's a HUGE difference between democratic values and common RAT values.

The Beast tries her best at spin - and it doesn't work...

This campaign is not just about sending George W. Bush back to Texas. It is about restoring hope, opportunity, and prosperity to our nation by electing John Kerry president

The Kerry campaign has been ONLY about sending W back to Texas. What a lame attempt to redefine.

[ladywolf7]

Anyone else notice that John Kerry bears a striking resemblance to Herman Munster? Maybe that's why Morticia--I mean Hildebeast-- supports him.

Once again,in true Saul Alinsky fashion, Hellary is using the oldest philosophical and psychological trick there is: distract someone from your own obvious flaws by putting them on the defensive with an outrageous, unfounded and prejudiced claim. No group of people does it better than the Leftist/Third Way/Democratic Party. BTW, they've only just begun.
