Caution: Weak stomachs do not enter
Just got this in my inbox...this is what the GOP is doing for fundraising.


NRCC Special Book Offer

I’ll get right to the point. If we are going to protect and keep our vitally important Republican House Majority, we need to raise $321,000 by August 31st to meet our budget goal.

We must be able to send a powerful signal to the Democrats that not only can we match their fundraising dollar for dollar – we also have dedicated Republicans who will stand and fight together to achieve our objective of always being one step ahead of our opponents.

I know you’ve come through for us time and time again. That is why we'd like to extend you this very special opportunity to receive one of the following books with your contribution of only $50 - a great way to contribute to the work of the NRCC and receive a great read in return!

We have the following 4 books available in hardcover format:

Remembering Reagan is a touching tribute to the Gipper by Peter Hannaford and Charles D. Hobbs. This coffee table book is filled with great images of our late President.

Rough Edges by former Republican Congressman Jim Rogan, recounts his rise from the rolls of welfare to the halls of Congress.

No Spin Zone and Who's Looking Out for You are two of the best selling books written by tough-talking, no holds-barred Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly.

Click on the images above to make your selection and receive one of these books with your $50 contribution to the NRCC.

This is a limited time offer to receive one of these fantastic books - sure to make for great reading for you or great gifts for friends and family

With your contribution of $50, you will not only receive your choice of one of these books, but you'll also receive this limited edition, leather NRCC bookmark featured at right.

Please act today to help erase our August budget shortfall and reserve your choice of books. Quantities are extremely limited and vary by title.

If you have any questions regarding your contribution, please contact us.


(emphasis added)



Hmm...Budget shortfall? Truth or trick?

4. My brother does that as well.
But I don't have the stomach for it. I used to read Drudge to keep up with them, but my blood pressure meds were having to work overtime.

6. $50???? Hell, any one of those piles of crap can be purchased off
the discount book table at any Barnes & Noble for $2.95 if someone really wanted to torture themselves that badly.
