I like to know what different groups are up to. That's why I subscribe to lots of email newsletters to which I don't actually subscribe, if you know what I mean.
During the 2008 election, I got myself on some Democratic mailing lists. I applied to get a ticket to Obama's Democratic coronation at Invesco Field, and now my email address is apparently in Rahm Emannuel's Blackberry. Or at least in Howard Dean's Rolodex.
(And, alas, I did not win a ticket to the Coronation.)
Today, I received an email from the Democratic Party. The email, with my editorial comments, follows:

| David -- [BlueCarp note: Nice touch with the personalization.]
Given what we've accomplished together this past month, the difference between our party and Republicans leaders couldn't be any clearer. [BlueCarp note: Translation - "We implement Statism with a smile, they do it with a smirk."]
As President Obama noted yesterday, we've done more to advance health care coverage in this last month than we have in the last decade. [And it's all FREE].
As a result of expanding SCHIP, 11 million children are now guaranteed health care. [And did we mention this is all FREE?! No one has to pay actually pay for it!] Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, we've made unprecedented investments in health care, education, renewable energy, and transportation. [And by "investing," we mean spending your money on industries you are smart enough to avoid. You can say "good-bye" to that investment faster than Bernie Madoff's "investors" lost their money.]
That Recovery plan will also create or save 3.5 million jobs and jump-start our economy through projects that will repair America's crumbling infrastructure. [Because digging ditches and filling in them in is productive.]
Make a donation of $5 or more now and keep our party strong as we continue to show America what real leadership can accomplish.
That's a far cry from what Republicans leaders have been up to. [Really can't argue with that. It took eight years for the Republicans to run up a deficit Obama doubled in 60 days]
Nearly every Republican in Congress voted against the Recovery plan. Instead, they're following Rush Limbaugh, who last week reiterated his hope that President Obama fails. [If the Republicans can't disassociate themselves from Rush, they deserve whatever they get.]
And yesterday, after doing the right thing and denouncing Limbaugh's comments, the chairman of the Republican National Committee called Limbaugh to apologize.
Following Rush Limbaugh and the failed attack politics of the past -- as Republicans are doing -- is not the kind of leadership that's going to get America back on a path to strength and prosperity. [It's going to take a centrally planned economy. It has always worked so well in the past. Right?]So it's going to be up to us to lead the way.
Make a donation now [Not really necessary, just let your kids and grandkids do it. That's our real plan!]so that we can continue showing what real leadership [Like Che Guevara. And Sean Penn.] can do for America:

There you have it, folks. They need you to voluntarily donate money so they can keep up the work of taking your kids' money by force.
Viva Che.
