Email from James Carville
DCCC ^ | May 18, 2007 | James Carville

Dear (Past Your Eyes),

Anytime somebody says that they "don't recall" as much as Alberto Gonzales did, you can bet that they recall damn well whatever it is they did, they just never thought they'd have to account for it.

Republicans' feet are being held to the fire and they are being forced do all sorts of things they never wanted to do -- like answer questions about the Bush Administration's incompetence, debate the war in Iraq and get rid of tax breaks for Big Oil. With Republicans against the wall and out of power, there is no smear campaign too low or too cheap.

Need proof? Look at how quickly they got in line to lie about Speaker Pelosi's trip to the Middle East. Or that they've already launched attacks targeting the entire Democratic freshman class. Or the fact that not a day has gone by without a Republican claiming Democrats don't support the troops.

That's why the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has set up an emergency Rapid Response Fund to combat any dirty tactics the Republicans can throw at us. The fund will provide Democrats with the resources to not only fight back but to go on the offensive, expanding research and communications operations to hit vulnerable Republicans early with ads, Web videos and in the media. But, we won't stop there. To get our Rapid Response operations off the ground, the DCCC has a goal of raising $50,000 by May 25th -- will you help us today?

Stand up to Swift Boat Tactics -- Give $25, $50 or more to support the DCCC's Rapid Response Fund

For twelve years Republicans in the House of Representatives were living high on the hog. They never had to take a hard vote and got to pay back their big business benefactors with all sorts of goodies and favors.

For the next two years, Republicans will do anything and everything to get back their power. And their fat cat allies, cut off from their corrupt federal gravy train, will be there to fund them.

Gearing up for 2008, Republicans are ready to fight dirtier and nastier then ever before. One of the reasons we were so successful in 2006 is Democrats let no attack go unanswered. It might cost a little right now but it will cost us a heck of a lot more in the future if we do nothing. Help us reach our goal of $50,000 today by giving what you can to our Rapid Response Fund.

Stand up to Swift Boat Tactics -- Give $25, $50 or more to support the DCCC's Rapid Response Fund

Democrats are already on the offense, running ads in states like New Mexico to hold entrenched Republican Heather Wilson accountable for her role in the firing of eight US federal prosecutors. Recently, the DCCC launched a web video to expose Republican John Doolittle and others about their connections to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Republicans are most dangerous when they're most desperate. We need to be prepared for what is coming. Get in the fight. Join me and let's get behind the DCCC's Rapid Response Fund operations.

Stand up to Swift Boat Tactics -- Give $25, $50 or more to support the DCCC's Rapid Response Fund

Thank you,

James Carville

P.S. The only game Republicans ever learned as children is follow the leader, and that's why, despite the fact that the good voters of the United States of America firmly slapped the Republican Party upside the head this past November, they'll continue to follow George Bush's disastrous policies like lemmings headed for a cliff. Get in the fight. Stand with your fellow Democrats against Republican "Swift Boat" tactics. Support the DCCC today.

Somehow, I have gotten on the emailing list of the DCCC and every so often, they send one out that just takes your breath away. This, IMO, is just such a one. If Carville's middle name isn't "Gall", it otta be. Can you imagine leading with the first sentence and not being able to remember the queen of all "I can't recall"-ers? He's a ballsy SOB.

Interesting, Serpenthead, in light of the fact that Hillary Clinton is famous for answering "I don't recall" under oath...over, and over, and over, and over again.

Good lord. I think I’ll have to go shower to get the slime off. Is Carville really trying to help Hillary by reminding us all of “I don’t recall?”

Well, it’s pretty obvious. I think Rush played her saying, “I don’t recall” about six million times. ;-)

That doesn’t sound too much like Carville, but either way it’s a pretty sad viewing of pan-handling for quarters. Sad in a funny kind of way :)

That first line said it all, as far as I am concerned. Selective memory is one subject that I do not respect.

Yep they have Republicans on the run that's why Democrats need to set up a rapid response fund. Send money now!
