Letter from the McCain campaign
I can’t get them to respond for requests for an interview with the candidate, but the John McCain campaign does keep sending me e-mails like this one asking for money. Spot the missing issue in the bullet-pointed list of policy positions where the differences have never “been more stark than today.”
Hint: It reminds with “Schmimmigration:”

subject Second Super TuesdayDear Supporter,
The Second Super Tuesday arrives tomorrow.
Second Super Tuesday Tomorrow, voters go to the polls in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island to vote on their choice for our party’s nominee. John McCain has been on the road campaigning almost non-stop. We need just 101 more delegates from these states to become the nominee of the GOP. And we can do that tomorrow with your help!
With wins in these states, John McCain will go “over the top” and secure enough delegates to win the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
No matter who the Democrats nominate as their candidate, this will be a campaign about issues. Never have the differences on the issues been more stark than today:
* Lower taxes vs tax increases
* Success in Iraq vs surrender in Iraq
* Strict constructionist judges vs judges who legislate from the bench
* Health care for American families vs government-run health care
* Fiscal discipline vs continued pork, wasteful government spending and earmarksThe future will look very different if we do not nominate and elect John McCain.
Tomorrow, with your help, he will secure the nomination. Won’t you please support the campaign with an immediate contribution of $101, $200 or even $1000?
Thank you in advance for your unflagging help and support.
Rick Davis
Campaign ManagerP.S. – Just 101 delegates are needed on Super Tuesday to secure the nomination of John McCain to be President of the United States. We couldn’t have gotten this far without your help – we need your contribution now to go all the way.

He Im in Ohio Michelle and all McCain is asking me to do is vote.
However I do get the money bomb emails as well.
Goes to show that reoublican campaigns still are fighting the last political war using outdated tactics.
Email them back and tell them you are only sending monies to true conservatives.
Also, tell ‘em that you’re donating monies to build the fence.
Heh! He’s worried about securing something that rhymes with immigration…, maybe, nomination.
Only thing worse right now is I cant click onto a Yahoo video right now without an Obama campaign ad hammering me. Again because Im in Ohio and its targeted.
McCain didn’t get this far with my help. But, I do feel like I got shafted in the process by someone trying to “go all the way.”
WOW. Never pegged you as a McCain supporter.
/sacr off (duh)
McCain will remove “continued pork, wasteful government spending and earmarks”? Sure. Like Ron Paul will fix the tax code. Both will happen at the same time I send in $1000 – never.
Anyone associated with the McCain Wing of The GOP has some nerve asking for money….when we taxpayers already have the Burden to carry the 20+ million (and growing) examples of their Open Borders/Pro Illegal Alien attitude on our backs.
He’s on his own for $$$$ and I don’t tip bad waiters either. He may get my vote, but only by default. I dont think any of them will do one iota for our open borders or illegal alien invasion.
The choices were are left with in this election suck.
I’ll see Soap’s -$1000 and match it another -$1000! Do we have any other takers?
The thing with bad waiters, AJ, is that they are typically just incompetent, when they screw up your order. With McCain, it is more like he thinks he knows better than you what you should have ordered and changes it at the kitchen for you.
Michelle,
Get a fist full of pesos and send it to him. Darlin McCain, we want a fence.
L
I wish I actually had a peso that I could send him. Do you think McCain would get the message if he got inundated with pesos from conservatives all over the country?
Nah. I doubt the campaign would even connect the dots.
Just sort of reminds me of our situation.
Maybe the GOP might remember this line from a real patriot in American history “millions for defense, not one cent for tribute.” I think they have to remember they work for us we don’t work for them. Why should anyone provide any funding for any political party or politician than would sell us out to invaders instead of putting the safety and security of the citizens of this country first?
heh…heh….I like it TexasTiger.
What’s that old cartoon (there have been many versions), “The Last Great Act of Defiance?”
Better yet — constipation.
Can’t seem to get that all too important “issue” out…
BlameAmericaLast…nice allegory and certainly an issue he’d like to paper over.
You can’t blame the guy for trying.

I LOVE it Boomer. When will the Country Club Moderates come over to Conservatism? Would it be so gauling? I
workse every time it’s tried. I say continue to keep your powder dry. Has McCain really made an concessions to Conservatives yet?
I sent it back with the response:
I will hold my nose and vote for him, but I won’t contribute a dime while Juan Hernandez is associated with the McCain campaign.
“Judge me by the company I keep”. – John McCain
At this point, I think I actually support Mike Hucabee more. That’s not saying very much.
30piecesofsilver, I remember when you used Jackie Gleasons quote from “Smokey and the Bandit” to describe your feelings on John McShame. I think that’s still relevant (and funny).
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t McShamnesty vote NO on making Bush’s tax cuts permanent?
Dear Rick….Sure would like a candidate that supports these issues.
Romney is still on the ticket here in Texas, I voted for him in early voting. I am going to order nose plugs for November so I can vote for McVain!
McCain- I’m going to secure the border first since that’s what the people want-Then I will give the amnesty to the illegals.
Hmmm, time to print off a few more “No fence = no money!” pesos from 2006’s shamnesty debacle.
McCain has no idea how difficult fundraising is going to be, its early yet. I know a lot of people not working on (or giving money to) his campaign. Instead they are focusing on congressional races so that there are checks & balances on the winner of the 3 liberals.
I can’t wait until he arrives at his “ah ha” moment and understands the Republican base isn’t there for him.
How about someone updating Jorge Arbusto’s Peso Bill that was circulating last year, replacing Jorge’s image with Juan’s and positing in on this site.
I’m sure the McCain campaign will appreciate it as much as the RNC et al appreciated getting Jorge’s Peso from me:)
You talking about the Hucksterbee that helped accelerate the ongoing creation of Arkexico? Your’re right, not saying much at all.
Does anybody know if the stench of voting for McInsane is worse than the smell of the butyric Acid the eco nuts are hitting the whalers with? Need to prepare.
ROFLMAO
Since I’ve re-registered, …
Stop the press, Michelle is on FNC…
I sent the congress critters 10 pesos a few days ago. So I guess I can send McCain the 101 he so desperate for. The conversion rate is:
101.00 MXN = 9.44411 USD
1 MXN = 0.0935061 USD 1 USD = 10.6945 MXN
The nose plugs are nice, but how do I keep from spewing out all over the voting machine?
Great job Michelle, as usual. It’s always very refreshing to hear your take rather than always reading them. You are correct, the left are acting out as fear mongers, Obama’s schooling, his drug use, is he selling drugs, he’s a muslim etc. They have absolutely no shame. But neither does McCain.
Where was I, oh yeah, since I’ve re-registered as “no affiliation” I have tagged anything from the GOP as junk mail. I won’t need nose plugs this year or ever again. I’ll vote conservative and that’s it. No support for McCain, period.
Who can afford to contribute – we’re paying for all the ‘free’ services for the illegals and the pork for the politicians.

Fixed it for ya.
Dear Senator McCain,
I already donated to your campaign, through McCain-Feingold.
Wasn’t that enough?
Of course, I had to give half my donation to the Democratic Party, but I thought that’s what you and Senator Feingold wanted me do.
I can vote for McCain. But the jury’s out about me $upporting him. Actually, it’s more out and gone on vacation…
Ditto for supporting the RNC and it’s various offshoots — until they publically swear off giving $upport to pols who support earmarks, they aren’t getting a cent from me. To me it’s become sort of like prolifers not supporting government funding of abortion. It’s a simple issue with a simple solution… Just swear off earmarks — cold turkey.
I am on the e-mail lists of the Texas GOP, but for SOME ODD REASON I am NOT getting any kind of contacts, e-mail, snail mail, or phone calls, from the McCain campaign!
Har har har!!! Must be something I wrote to either the national committee or the state committee. Haw haw haw!!!
[Snoopy dance]
Well, in the morning bright and early, I am off to the polls to vote in the GOP Primary for a WRITE-IN candidate, or maybe for Mitt Romney.
I’ll do it in the name of 4 or 5 local families who have lost one or more immediate family members to the illegal alien issues, in brutal, deliberate fashion, brought to us by the likes of John McCain, et al.
Send the kind he’ll understand the best – printed pictures of pesos.
Tell him it is YOUR campaign promise to HIM!
I won’t be voting for McCain in November, either – no way on this green earth I will enable that which I cannot abide.
Be like giving the keys to my car to a local alcoholic that doesn’t even know how to drive at all, anyway – not very bright on my own part – and how much sympathy do you think I’d get when he wrecks it – when folks discover I gave him the keys and a full tank of gas!

I voted early here in Texas.
I left the president slot blank.
I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for McCain twice(now & November).
I voted for Fred Thompson. Yeah, I know it’s a futile gesture, but at least I can say I voted my conscience.
