This week's Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee email comes from last election's Vice Presidential candidate, one John Edwards, who is pretty much the epitome of everything that's wrong with out country. Sure, he's not an idiot, but he obviously thinks that to get elected, all you need is a smile and long eyelashes. JE, take a lesson from JFK; you gotta have ideas also. So we dive right in to Senator Edwards' email to us, which was delivered under the title "Wreckage." Should be fun:Two thousand five hundred American soldiers killed in Iraq is "just a number," according to White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. Thousands of our most vulnerable are stranded in the New Orleans Superdome after Katrina while the Bush administration looks the other way. - The point with the 2500 number is that Democrats are calling Iraq the new Vietnam, even though 2500 was nothing. And of course, just like the GOP with 9/11, here come the Dems with Katrina. If anyone ever names their baby Katrina, we're sure the Democrats will figure out a way to have the convicted of a hate crime.
In too many places around the globe, the idea of American leadership seems like a contradiction. The Bush administration has turned a blind eye, and has done nothing to change its failed policy in Iraq. A Democratic Senate will stand up to this administration and hold it accountable for its mistakes and failed priorities. - Sounds good. How will you do this, John? Oh, I have to PAY to find out.
Thirty-seven million of our own people are living in poverty and despair - George Bush's response is bloated deals for government contractors in Iraq and giveaways to the oil and gas industry. Just last week, the Republicans in the Senate blocked Senator Kennedy's attempt to raise the minimum wage - which has not been increased in almost ten years. - Says the "son of a mill worker" who is worth hundreds of millions of off real estate deals in which he uses this tax cuts. And Kennedy's minimum wage proposal also included no government help for small businesses when raising the wage multiple times over the coming years. That's why that wasn't supported.
The final thought is that this email might have actually been written by Senator Edwards. The first example is that he uses the phrase "callous presidency" when discussing George Bush five goddamn times, showing that whoever did write this note to America really needs a fucking thesaurus. And second, it includes a picture of John Edwards at the top, smiling away with the eyelashes rocketing skyward. No other letter has included a picture. Way to politic like you do, John!
