Dear Friend,
People who live in white houses shouldn't throw stones.
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove should know better, but it's no surprise they don't. For almost five years now, every time they've got their backs to the wall politically, they play "the fear card." The latest example: Dick Cheney claiming that Democratic candidates who dare to challenge the Bush White House on Iraq are "emboldening terrorists."
What's worse, and startling, is that in Connecticut Joe Lieberman is now echoing their intolerable rhetoric attacking the Democratic Senate nominee.
It won't work. We won't let it work.
HELP WIN THREE CRUCIAL SENATE RACES.
In Connecticut, New Jersey and Hawaii, this cynical Bush-Cheney strategy is running aground because our stand-up candidates are exposing the failed policies, botched strategies, and mind-boggling incompetence of the Bush White House that have squandered America's treasure, kept Osama Bin Laden on the loose, and cost the lives and limbs of our brave young people.
If the Bush administration could plan and execute the war on terror as well as it executes its shameless pre-election fear-mongering, we'd all be a lot safer.
That's what strong, principled Senate candidates like Ned Lamont, Bob Menendez, and Dan Akaka are making clear to voters in three of America's closest, high-stakes Senate contests.
HELP WIN THREE CRUCIAL SENATE RACES.
Our candidates are refusing to buckle or bend in the face of withering attacks by shameless politicians.
I urge you to stand with these candidates now. Because when we help them win, the cynical tactics of the Bush-Cheney-Rove political machine will lose their power.
There's only one way we can win. We've got to help our candidates give back as good as they get.
We'll meet every shameless attack with more energy, every distorting ad with more passion, and every ugly appeal to fear with more determination.
And 82 days from now, we'll celebrate the election of standup Democrats all across America.
We'll teach them, once and for all, that people who live in white houses shouldn't throw stones.
Let's get it done.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
Dear Traitor,
If playing the "fear card" won't work as you say, why do you need all my money...errr..."help"?
"What's worse, and startling, is that in Connecticut Joe Lieberman is now echoing their intolerable rhetoric attacking the Democratic Senate nominee. It won't work. We won't let it work."
i.e., "We will make sure that the dead vote often in this race."
LOL....snicker snort.
"We've got to help our candidates give back as good as they get."
In other words, our candidates must spout "intolerable rhetoric" as well.
Dear Friend, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Hey kerry, where's your form 180?
But when Clinton blamed the Oklahoma City bombing on Rush Limbaugh and hate right wing radio, that wasn't throwing stones?
It makes me want to hurl every time I hear the "fear card" mantra. What part about fanatics wanting to kill us do the democrats not understand? And anyone who thinks the dems would do better at protecting us is living in a dream world.
Guess JK thought he was being cute with the white houses reference instead of using glass houses.
And there were no stones in sight when Harry Reid immediately took to the airwaves after the British terror arrests to tell the public we weren't safe, right?
Yea - there's no threat, but they'd do a better job protecting us from the non-threat. Meaning, they'd do nothing at all. I swear... you can't make this stuff up.
This is so amusing. Leftists still control a good chunk of the mass media. When Vice President Cheney states an obvious truth (such as the one about Democrat defeatists emboldening terrorists) it is not going to get a favorable reception in such media. Therefore, it's great, in fact it's outstanding, to have John Kerry stepping in and repeating it, spreading the word, adding dramatic emphasis to it, and amplifying it through his email broadcast 'megaphone', so that people who might otherwise have missed the message when it was originally delivered will have an opportunity to hear it rather than have the message suppressed. Repetition helps when generating or molding perceptions, and repetition of Cheney's message is exactly what John Kerry is providing.
Thanks again for your service, Mr. Kerry...
I can't stand Senator Kerry either, but why are you surprised that he wants the democrats to win? I don't understand why people get upset about this type of party talk. For example, I want the Republicans to fight for Republicans to win. I am sure the Democrats feel the same way. It won't work for the Democrats but I am not upset that they are fighting for seats. To me, that is what both parties should be doing.
