from Mary Beth Cahill...(campaign manager for kerry)

[michigandem2]

i get emails from johnkerry.com and this is what I was sent..this is the tail end of the email

"You and I know that if we so much as yield an inch to George Bush and the Republicans this month, we'll live to regret it. In fact, we may live to regret it for four long years. Join with me in supporting the Democratic Party today."

Thank you,

Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager


It just sounds like we should fight back but she did mention how if we fight back then we may lose the next four years..did anyone else feel kinda annoyed? i mean I know taking the high road and talking positive is good...but does it win?

1. You misunderstood the email

she's asking people not to yield an inch.

[michigandem2]

3. well to me..

and maybe I am totally over analyzing...

even if we do nothing isn't that yielding? that is what I am thinking..saying NOTHING...is a form of yielding...

maybe I read it wrong...:shrug:

4. Who's saying nothing?

Where do you get that idea? I'm confused. Have you seen Jim Rassmann all over the tv, read his comments, etc.?

[DaveinMD]

2. not annoyed at all

We all need to give the DNC money so they can fight the assault from Rove and company during this period between the conventions.

5. Hey Mary,tell JFK to go for the AWOL, Booker, Plame,Iraq, Economy Jugular

Tell Kerry to open up and fight back, for crissakes!!!!

8. You can't be following his campaign closely and come away

with the impression that his campaign isn't hitting back hard enough.

Here's a good source for releases that aren't on his site and don't always make the network news. http://releases.usnewswire.com/

6. Guys..relax..it's a fundraising/grassroots email

No way it was written by Cahill...more likely by a volunteer or low-level staffer. I would HOPE Cahill is too busy to be writing mass emails to email lists.

7. You need to read this again. It is not saying that at all.

It is saying we must be active and can not give an inch! Keep working!

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I am still of the mind that Bush and company are doing a fairly good

job of bringing themselves down so far this month. Sometimes taking the high road is what people remember come election day. :hi:
