SHAMELESS - HOW LOW WILL THEY STOOP?

Ads are appearing on Craig's List in major US cities to pay people $ 24,000 to stop Glenn Beck and others like him from spreading lies.http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=123267
How low will they stoop? 

Madam Pelosi is sending out begging letters to her dem followers asking for a minimum of $ 2.00 to help with her health care program.

"We don't quit. I don't quit."

Those were the words of President Obama last night.
They are also the motto of Democrats -- we don't quit.
Let's send the strongest possible message to President Obama that Democrats across America aren't quitting. We stand united. January 31st marks the first FEC deadline for Democrats since the State of the Union and the Massachusetts special election. Republicans, the media and the pundits will try to use our fundraising totals as a measure of the Republicans' momentum. We must have a strong showing.
Please help us beat our goal of $100,000 by midnight tonight -- my fellow Democrats in Congress have agreed to give $2 for every $1 you contribute.
Thank you for standing with us and for never giving up.
Onward to victory.
Sincerely,
Nancy
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House  
 
Paul Begala also recently sent out a letter on behalf of the DNC begging for $ 5.00 to help the cause. 
Here is an excerpt of Begala's cry for help:
 
Do you hear that pop-pop-popping sound off in the distance?

The good news is, it ain't gunfire. The bad news is, it's corporate lobbyists and their Republican lapdogs popping champagne corks and dancing on what's left of the Constitution.
They're celebrating the Supreme Court's decision to allow giant corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to target any member of Congress who dares cross them.
It's no exaggeration to say the very foundation of our democracy will be under attack once the tidal wave of corporate money floods into campaigns on the side of Republican candidates.

Now is no time to throw up your hands. In fact, I say it's time to throw a few elbows.

We will not accept this outrageous Supreme Court decision lying down. That's why I've committed to helping recruit 25,000 new grassroots Democratic members before President Obama's State of the Union Address Wednesday night.Renew your 2010 Democratic membership from the DCCC at the special rate of $5 and show the world that Democrats support strong, immediate action to block powerful corporate lobbyists from hijacking our democracy.
More than 75% of the DCCC's revenue comes from grassroots supporters like you. So, your support is more important than ever. You're our only hope. We will never be able to match corporate America's billions.

Get this: for less then ten percent of Exxon's 2008 profits, it could spend $10 million on every congressional race in America.
And that's just ten percent of one company's profits for one year. Truly, the right-wing Supreme Court wants to put our Congress, our country, our very freedom on the auction block for the highest corporate bidder. And the far right wing of the Republican Party intends to be wielding the auctioneer's gavel.

The Court's radical decision, overturning decades of settled law going back to Teddy Roosevelt, held that corporations can draw unlimited amounts of money from their general treasuries and spend it on "issue ads" to attack any candidate who challenges them.

Renew your 2010 Democratic membership from the DCCC at the special rate of $5 and show the world that Democrats support strong, immediate action to block powerful corporate lobbyists from hijacking our democracy.
For example, imagine that AIG executives may now take some of the billions in tax-payer funded bailout funds they received and target with a torrent of attack ads any Democrat who challenges their obscene bonuses.
With absolutely no limit on their ability to spend money, oil companies, big insurance companies and powerful Wall Street banks will easily spend hundreds-of-millions of dollars trying to drown out the voices of the American people.

Make no mistake, our freedom is under fire. Thank goodness it's not from machine guns. But as we say in Texas, a lawyer with a pen can steal more in a minute than a criminal with a gun can steal in a lifetime.
But, we can fight back.
Renew your 2010 Democratic membership from the DCCC at the special rate of $5 and show the world that Democrats support strong, immediate action to block powerful corporate lobbyists from hijacking our democracy.

Thank you,
Paul Begala

P.S. We need to recruit 25,000 2010 members in the next 48 hours to show the world Democrats are standing up for middle class America against the powerful corporate lobbyists. Renew your 2010 membership today.
 
 It is really becoming nauseating and pathetic to watch them.
