GOP: Raising Funds Like They End Wars

A day or two ago, I received in the mail an envelope with the bold red letters "FINAL NOTICE" above the recipient's address, and the return address was "Republican National Committee," etc.
I have received fund raising queries for Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney in the last few months, among other communications, as well as from the Republican National Committee, always a load of fun for a Democratic committeeman who has never had contact, financial or otherwise, with the Republican National Committee.
Don't worry, some of your and my favorite unfounded, nonfactual and simply paranoid cliches are included in this fund raising rant: "Senator Hillary Clinton's fundraising juggernaut is growing as we speak," "The Democrats have taken in $100 million more than the Republicans so far. And this doesn't even count the $500 million Big Labor, Hollywood elites and liberal groups like MoveOn.org are planning to spend to defeat Republicans in 2008," and if the Republicans don't come closer to the Democrats' fund raising, "we will not be able to defend our candidates from their vicious attacks and outright distortions and get our message past the liberal media filter directly to the voters."
Every time I read this stuff, I feel like I need to shower.
