Letter from Senator Mitch McConnell
email

Posted on 10/17/2008 7:53:48 PM PDT by nuconvert

Dear Supporter,

Well, I told you it was coming and now my prediction is a reality.

New York liberal Chuck Schumer is dumping tons of special interest dollars into Kentucky to try to save his hand-picked candidate Bruce Lunsford.  We knew they were coming, but you may ask, why now?

Perhaps this will give you a clue. This note was sent to tens of thousands of Democrat activists by Schumer's committee: "We're on the verge of breaking things open.  Our chances have never looked better to elect that filibuster-proof Senate majority to help Barack Obama put this country back on the right course."

So there you have it. They want an unchecked majority to enact their agenda of higher taxes, more regulation, increased opportunity for lawsuits and a reliable rubber stamp for Big Labor's agenda. 

At a time when Kentucky families are struggling because of the ongoing economic crisis, the last thing we should be doing is allowing the liberal left to force their anti-growth agenda through the Senate.  Their prescription of higher taxes will only worsen what is already a difficult situation.

They know they can't get there without a win in Kentucky, and they are ready to spend anything and saturate the airwaves to make that happen.

Well, I won't let them. 

Let me introduce you to the man who personally selected Bruce Lunsford to run in this contest.  Check out this video.

Chuck Schumer and Bruce Lunsford only want to push their liberal agenda.  I need your help today to fight back against this avalanche of outside money. 

Please, send me whatever you can afford to help me get this ad on the air. 

They can't achieve total domination of the Senate without winning in Kentucky and together we can prevent that from happening.

Thanks for your help.

“They want an unchecked majority to enact their agenda of higher taxes, more regulation, increased opportunity for lawsuits and a reliable rubber stamp for Big Labor’s agenda.”

And a lot more scary stuff

A Liberal Supermajority

It will take a long time to recover from this, if ever.

Schmuck Schumer needs to be target number one for Republicans. Rudy Giuliani would do the greatest service of his career by running against this a$$hole and driving him out of government.

I sent Mitch 25 bucks a few weeks ago. He is one of the few good conservatives left. Inhofe also got some of my money.

In time, yes. Rudy I think would make a great senator and would be great if he could get Chuck home.

Bump

People don’t let the Senate fall. If you are voting for McCain you need to vote Republican for Senate. This is not about the stupid bailout this is about holding the fire line against an onslaught that could send us into a decade of liberalism unchecked darkness.

McConnell needs to bring back some of his more humorous ads - people actually enjoy those. They’ve been absent as of late.

I hope the Republicans are treating Joe Lieberman very well.
Also, prayers for Ted.

Thank you, thank you, for donating to Senator Inhofe. I do volunteer work for him and I have been absolutely appalled at the amount of out of state money that has been thrown into this race for his opponent. I don't know where, exactly, it is coming from but it is certainly substantial. This seems to be a nationwide campaign by the far left, not even necessarily the DNC, 527’s and possibly even out of country groups.

hopefully...Someone will tell Mitch.....he must "get out of Washington" every once in a while....deceitful Lunsford, may just do that permanently.
