Sen. Ted Kennedy has sent out a shrill fundraising letter accusing Republicans of posing an "imminent danger to the nation.”
He even accuses President Bush, along with Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, of "poisoning” the water and air.
The letter, which seeks contributions for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, begins: "The reckless abuse of power by George Bush and his right-wing allies is an imminent danger to the nation and must be stopped.”
The letter singles out for defeat Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Katherine Harris, "the notorious GOP state official who gave George Bush the presidency in 2000,” who is running for the Senate from Florida.
Despite the significant progress that has been made in Iraq, the letter states that the administration’s "claims of progress bear no relation to reality.” Kennedy cites no particulars.
Kennedy, never a close friend of the Pentagon, chastises the GOP with the charge that the White House "ditched a major defense bill just before the August recess.”
The letter goes so far as to claim that the Republicans have "poisoned our air and water by repealing key provisions of our hard-won environmental protection laws.”
The letter sent out under the letterhead of the long-time Senator from Massachusetts also charges the administration with "packing the federal courts with right-wing judges” and characterizes the right-wing agenda as a "radical grab for power.”
Kennedy complained the White House is refusing to "cough up key background information on John Roberts.”
The letter seeks contributions of "$50, $75, or even more,” which will "help put a democratic majority back in control of the senate in 2006!”

I take a (ahem) backseat to no one in my detestation for swimmer teddy however....
This is a *fundraising* letter, people. The purpose of which is to throw some red meat to your hard core supporters so they will open up their wallets and send some benjamins fat teddy's way. This is how Washington works and frankly both sides do it.
Let's not get trapped in the front seat (so to speak) of confusing this letter with anything other than what it is - i.e. trolling for cash.
With Everclear in it no doubt.
Just when you thought that old fat drunken sot couldn't get any more vicious.
I understand exactly what the letter is...unfortunately, the "red meat" is tainted. The letter is a litany of lies, which only goes to prove just a stupid some Democrats are. They continue to donate to this waste of corpuscles.
hang yourself ted do us all a favor.
OMG! A perfect example of price gouging. While the libs and the MSM are angry and blaming the Bush administration for all their woes, let's get their money.
Any chance of kicking ted out of his senate office when she wins and giving it to her?
Sadder than THIS is the left will BELIEVE him!!!!
Send that moron over to New Orleans with my old car. That way, I can get some insurance money and he can try to tempt fate again with the sewage-infested water.
Oh yes, the vile lies are coming - we've only heard the beginnings. Joseph Goebbels would be soooo proud of todays RAT party.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I will be sending him a picture of Mary Jo. I really will.
I believe you have hit upon something big here.
Tactic for destroying the Dems filibuster: Close the senate bar.
Is there any reasonable facsimile of a candidate in Massachusetts than can be run against this drunken fool. I think money would pour in from all over the country to rid us of this detestable fraud.
Last election the Pubbies targeted Dascle, Kennedy should get the honor this time around.
WOW - been called a lot of things before but never an imminent danger to our country.
Why did the wrong one come out of that Oldsmobile?
He's right!
Mary Jo Kopechne died at Chappaquiddick because the sea water was poisoned by Bush.
Statement proving otherwise are induced by alcholic allucinations.
