Dems' Post-Election Message to Supporters: "Thank you for your incredible support!" (Very funny)

[The Old Hoosier]

Thank You for Your Incredible Support Dear [Redacted], Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Time and again, the Democratic Party asked for your help in the 2002 elections. And time and time again, you responded. You gave money, took action, volunteered time, told your friends, became eCaptains, and worked tirelessly to win. And, while the November 5th elections didn't turn out exactly as we wanted them to, one thing was perfectly clear: our Democratic online activists are a force to be reckoned with. Here's what you helped us accomplish: Democrats won 10 governor's mansions away from Republicans, including Republican strongholds like Arizona, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. We took big states like Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan out of Republican hands, putting us in great shape for 2004. We made a real difference in close races like Tim Johnson's re-election to the Senate in South Dakota, Janet Napolitano's win as Arizona Governor, and Mark Pryor's defeat of Senator Tim Hutchinson in Arkansas. We continued our outreach into every area and every community in America, building the coalitions we'll need for victory in 2004. But there were disappointments on election night, too. We lost seats in the House and the Senate. Even so, America is still clearly evenly split. Out of a total nearly 79 million votes cast nationwide, a shift of just 41,000 votes would have kept the Senate in Democratic hands. That means we need to work even harder to stop the Republicans' extremist right-wing agenda. With your help, the Democratic Party will continue to work to strengthen the economy, fully fund our schools, protect Social Security, provide a real Medicare prescription drug plan, protect the environment, safeguard a woman's right to choose, and keep our homeland strong and secure. Next week, we'll send you additional information about the 2002 election, and what it means for 2004. The battle for the future of our country has begun, and we're glad that you're part of our team. Thank you again. Paid for and authorized by the Democratic National Committee To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please reply to this message with "unsubscribe" in the subject line.

Masters of spin - that the public won't buy anymore. May the games begin!!

You're welcome, losers.

The most important part of that message is at the very bottom which tells you how to unsubscribe.

What happens win Thune wins the recount and proves the vote fraud?

[lawdude]

I'll trade our success for their success any day of the week.

Shall we ask Terry about that?

[Mark]

With your help, the Democratic Party will continue....

You'd think they could spell their party's name correctly. Yo public school educated idiots- it is Democrat Party not Democratic Party.

[America's Resolve]

Point 5: You forgot to vote!

[America's Resolve]

Or better yet, Point 5: And we truly appreciate your vote on Nov 6!

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

LOL!!!! I just LOVE this quote here ---

"And, while the November 5th elections didn't turn out exactly as we wanted them to, ........"

Oh, so you're saying it wasn't quite 100 percent exactly like you wanted them to turn out, eh? LOL!!

Reminds me of the statement Hirohito made over the radio to the Japanese people in August 1945. At that time, virtually the entire Japanese Navy - the pride of their nation - lay at the bottom of the ocean. Millions of their men were dead. Their cities lay in ruins, two of them particularly so, as these cities were chosen to usher in the nuclear age. All of their island possessions - some of which had belonged to them for ages - had been wrested away. Their industry lay dormant. Their economy, if you can call it that, lay prostrate.

And in the middle of this complete, utter, total disaster, Hirohito got on the airwaves and started off his speech with a one-sentence summary of their situation by saying that the current war "is not necessarily going the way we wanted it to".

Ha!!

>>>You'd think they could spell their party's name correctly.<<<

This spelling is intentional. Go to the DNC's website. Never once do they refer to it as the Democrat Party. Most of the individual state parties refer to themselves as democratic also. If you do a web search you find very little under democrat and much under democratic. Seems they have made this a permanant change and you and I were the last to know.

That means we need to work even harder to stop the Republicans' extremist right-wing agenda.

================================================

I think this nonsense is starting to wear thin on Americans who are not idiots.

[RJayneJ]

How does the Thune recount stand at this point? I haven't heard anything for a couple of days.

[TexasNative2000]

Republicans' extremist right-wing agenda.

I guess they define 'extreme' as any agenda that gets 41,000 more votes that their agenda. . . . . .

[Mark]

OK! Here's my story and I'm sticking to it. I left the room to get a glass of iced tea. When I returned, my 15 year old son was typing away...

It's important to keep track of what the enemy is doing.

[IronJack]

It reminds me of the team that hasn't won a game all season, that has been humiliated by the second string of the Iowa School for Blind Midgets. Yet they keep having their tepid pep rallies, and their coaches keep saying that the "next game" will be a triumph, and that their record "isn't what we'd like it to be." But they insist that "We have a great ball club" and a thousand other platitudes while the team keeps getting trounced and nobody buys their upbeat spin anyway.

Terry, spare us the cheerleading. This ain't high school and you ain't Knute Rockne.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

Boy, talk about "putting lipstick on a pig"! I wonder if the jerk who wrote this "spin" was on drugs at the time?

[Radix]

I am laughinhg my ass off here! TY!

[Radix]

I`ll let you get it!

[ChadGore]

Here's the cold hard smack in the face:

1) The democrat party doesn't have the White House.(1R-0d)
2) The democrat party lacks a majority in the Senate.(51R-48d-1)
3) The democrat party lacks a majority in the House of Representatives.(226R-209d)
4) The democrat party lacks a majority of Governors seats across the 50 states.(25R-25d)
5) The democrat party lacks a majority of State Houses across all 50 states. (25R-22d)

Today's democrat party doesn't enjoy majority leadership at either the state or federal level.

[Radix]

"Today's democrat party doesn't enjoy majority leadership at either the state or federal level."


There is a reason!

[MedicalMess]

That means we need to work even harder to stop the Republicans' extremist right-wing agenda.

So if one wants to dodge a terrorist bombing or bullet they are part of a right-wing agenda?

Isn't this really what our people voted for..., security?

Therefore, to not be part of the right-wing agenda is to...:

obey..., submit..., surrender..., relinquish your freedoms..., become a slave..., and die a painful death.

That is the future the Democrat POLTERGEEZERS want us to suffer.

[FlyVet]

"With your help, the Democratic Party will continue to work to strengthen the economy (tax their @$$ off), fully fund our schools (bloat the administration) , protect Social Security (continue the sucker Ponzi scheme), provide a real Medicare prescription drug plan (free drugs for all, regardless of means) , protect the environment (ban hunting, destroy land rights, prevent moves toward energy self-sufficiency, let the forests burn, and let the small farmers starve), safeguard a woman's right to choose (more abortions, especially partial-birth) , and keep our homeland strong and secure (keep the borders wide open so they won't hate us) ."

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. I see McAwful brags early about South Dakota. The fat lady hasn't sung there yet. The rest is just Bubba horsepucky! ;-)

So, they took 10 governor mansions away from the republicans, my question is, how many governor mansions did the republicans take away from the democrats?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I don't have our record on Republican wins for governor, but we took the one away from the Dems here in South Carolina.

[Timesink]

Democrats won 10 governor's mansions away from Republicans, including Republican strongholds like Arizona, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming.

WHAT? I thought they only gained TWO.

By the way, a great question to ask any friends or cow-orkers who happen to be Dems of the "Oh my God They're Going To Send Us To the Gas Chambers Now" psychotic variety (cf. DUh), just ask them: There are plenty of states where the Democrats have controlled all three branches of government for eons, and states where the GOP has controlled all three branches of government for eons. How come the lack of "checks and balances" hasn't caused these states to fall apart? (Like "checks and balances" has anything to do with political parties in the first place. I don't recall seeing that in the Constitution.)

[Timesink]

"That means we need to work even harder to stop the Republicans' extremist right-wing agenda."

Someone, I don't remember who, posted earlier to a thread the URLs to the DNC's site and the RNC's site and said "just go look." The DNC's front page is almost entirely composed of vitriolic attacks on Republicans (without a single word about their platform or beliefs on any topic whatsoever); the RNC's page is nothing but upbeat news and links to serious policy issues. (They do have one little graphic linking to a page that refutes various RAT attacks, and that page doesn't seem to be updated all that often.)

It hasn't just worn thin, it's threadbare.

[Timesink]

Seems they have made this a permanant change and you and I were the last to know.

I dunno; check this out. Looks like it's been "Democratic" from the beginning.

[Timesink]

The battle for the future of our country has begun.

*snicker* *snort* Perhaps if they'd said this two years ago - hell, TWENTY-TWO years ago - they might have won last week. It's a little late now.

[Timesink]

Terry, spare us the cheerleading. This ain't high school and you ain't Knute Rockne.

Win One for the Gimper, Terry!

[Timesink]

4) The democrat party lacks a majority of Governors seats across the 50 states.(25R-25d)

And we didn't control 35 governors seats before last week, did we?

[paul51]

How will we know when our schools are 'fully funded'?

[elenchus]

Please see the strategy needed to defeat Landrieu and why her defeat is not just important but CRUCIAL to the conservative agenda:

How does the Thune recount stand at this point? I haven't heard anything for a couple of days.

Neither have I. I do know that Johnson's win shouldn't be considered a certainty.
