Keep Your Enemies Closer
« on: April 19, 2023, 01:50:32 AM »
I subscribe to Nancy Pelosi for Congress just to keep track of what is going on in left field.
I get a pep talk email every day, usually asking for money.
Here is some of the stuff they say....
(note that my name is Deborah because I want to be fashionable. LOL)
==========================================
==============================================
I don’t say this lightly. This is Democrats’ once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win EVERY battleground race, RECLAIM our Democratic Trifecta, and kick Republicans out of power once and for all.
------
Nancy Pelosi is working incredibly hard to help Democrats hold Trump and Republicans accountable -- and ensure they can NEVER hold full power again.
----
Your support gives us strength to defend our freedoms and our Democracy against a rising tide of extremism.
--------
Deborah, in a moment, I’m going to give you five reasons why you should chip in $5 to confirm your Team Pelosi Membership and help Democrats reclaim our House Majority.
----------

– First, I watched MAGA Republicans embarrass our country and heckle President Biden at his State of the Union address.

– Then, I watched Kevin McCarthy reward them by raising $12.3 MILLION to protect his right-wing Majority.

– Now, I’m going to watch them REGRET it.

I won’t mince words, Deborah.
-----------
This is incredible, Deborah.

CNN reported that 18 House Republicans sit in districts that President Biden won.

Let me be clear:

– These districts will decide the fate of the House Majority.
– If we win them, we win the Majority — it’s as simple as that.
– But we’ll only win if we raise the resources we need to connect with EVERY last voter in critical swing districts like these.
-----------
Deborah, is there anything I can say to explain how critical your $18 is to ensuring Democrats take back the House?

— First, House Republicans launched their plan to FLIP 37 Democratic-held seats.
-----------

Deborah, I've had it.

FIRST: Our Democrats completely SHUT DOWN Republicans’ fabled “red wave” — and held Kevin McCarthy to one of the smallest majorities in history.

THEN: Republicans raised nearly $13.8 MILLION in ONE month to take revenge.

NOW: NPR just reported that Democrats are in for a “difficult” fight to keep our Senate Majority.

Here’s the truth, Deborah: If we just stand by as extremist Republicans gear up to DEFEAT our vulnerable Democrats, our odds of holding the Senate and flipping the House will VANISH.
----------
I’m stunned, Deborah.

FIRST: Donald Trump claimed he was the "most innocent man in the history of our country."

THEN: MSNBC reported Trump’s radical donors started FLOODING him with cash to come to his defense.

NOW: Trump has officially raised $12 MILLION to escape accountability and win back the White House.

Deborah, I’ll be blunt: We need to make Trump’s vile schemes completely BACKFIRE.
What, Me Worry?

Gee, this rhetoric reminds me of another forum member that only posts here in the political forum.

But good for you, "Deborah", for keeping an ear and eye out as to what these people are doing.... :thumbsup:

She and her cult claim to champion democracy.  A democracy can't exist if everyone in power only enact the policies of one party/group.  A democracy allows everyone who must live with the policies and laws to have a say in whether or not those policies get implemented.  We don't need a government controlled by one party.  Things seem to work better when the Executive is from one party, and Congress (both houses) are controlled by the other (assuming we remain basically a 2-party system).  Pelosi is only interested in power -- for herself and her fellow party members. 

Voters seem to get this -- even if it's not consciously.  Midterm elections tend to favor the party in which the president is not a member, especially if the Congress is controlled by the president's party, too.  Single-party rule flies in the face of the concept "balance of power."

Pelosi can't help it.  She's been one sniper attack away from the presidency for many years.  She's made millions from her role in Congress and as House Speaker.  Her career started in 1976 when she was elected as a Democratic National Committee member from California, a position she would hold until 1996.  That's 47 years.  Being that she is now 83, that's over half her life and almost half a century in politics.  Political power is all she understands.

I get why DNC politicians do what they do. It benefits them and to keep their power control.  But why their followers obey like it's the word of god really leads me to believe that even with an education, one can be a moron.

Democrats have perfected the art of demonizing their opponents.  They tell lie after lie about the GOP wanting to kill granny, how they want dirty air and water, and how they only do what their corporate masters tell them.  In fact, the Dems are in bed with more major corporations than Republicans.

Hillary proved the candidate spending the most isn't guaranteed to win (she spent double that of Trump), but as a rule, money is often the deciding factor in a campaign.  The more negative ads they can buy, the more democrats can rely on smears to win and less on their crappy issue positions and records.

Theres a vid with a Russian spy or something talking about how to destroy american from within, without firing a shot. We are here now.

Whats funny is he brings up once brainwashed, no amount of facts on paper or like will matter to those affected to change their mind.

He also states it will take about 15 years to reverse and needs to begin with the next generation (children).

Interesting inteeview that was done in the early 90s.

it's easy to present facts and data to show someone they are wrong, but you have to break down their beliefs at the same time.   That's always a harder nut to crack than just winning a debate.

Tim Pool had this super-left-leaning liberal on his show around 4 months ago IIRC.  Tim made a point by mentioning a fact that the other guy said, "That never happened!"  Then Tim showed him the articles, and his guest was shocked at how he'd never seen that before.  it was a major story, but this political "expert" never had a clue.

The other side is controlling their followers with all this social media censorship and narrative spinning.

I’m sorry to bother you again, Deborah — but I need one last push from my strongest supporters.
I need just 2 — TWO! — more gifts from 94402 before my massive End of Week Deadline at midnight.
I told you earlier how much Republicans are raising. If we want any chance of TAKING BACK the House and keeping the Senate, we’ll need to hit every single critical benchmark like this one.
So please Deborah: Can I count on you to be one of the final TWO grassroots donors I need from 94402 in these final hours before my End of Week Deadline? >>

2023 TEAM PELOSI MEMBER
NAME: Deborah xxxxxx
ID: 109255764
MEMBERSHIP: PENDING
SUGGESTED DONATION: $18 >>

Here is today's Pelosi brainwash pep talk:
===================================
Deborah, I need you to understand three critical things.
1. Kevin McCarthy is now at risk of losing 18 Republican seats.
2. If Democrats win just FIVE of these seats, we win the House.
3. Now, I’m learning McCarthy just raised $12 MILLION from MAGA donors to sabotage our chances.
I’ll be blunt: This is the closest we will EVER be to taking back our House Majority. But it will all be for nothing if we can’t compete with Republicans’ massive war chest.
So I just launched a plan to raise 1,022 Democratic gifts before midnight to compete with McCarthy’s massive haul and help Democrats RECLAIM the House. I’m relying on your donation so that Democrats have the resources

Pelosi is all about money and power.

Nothing in the Deborah Chronicles comes close to why the Dems deserve the money -- just that the GOP/MAGA party needs to be stopped.

Same o, same o.  We need to  win.  Nothing else matters.

Some years back, I met a lady who was handing out flyers to vote for her for OHA.  And she told me "because we need to stop that man in the White House (Trump). I wonder if she still supports Biden.

Today's pep talk...4-21-23
I need you to make a crucial choice in this moment, Deborah.

-- We can either let Republicans launch millions to sabotage our shot to take back the House...

-- Or we can take advantage of our historic surge in the polls, garner a MASSIVE fundraising day for Democrats, and LOCK IN our chances of winning this election.

Deborah, we don’t have much time before Republicans get wind of our momentum and launch expensive attacks to ruin it.

Obviously referring to the 3AM spike in Dem votes that come from mysteriously appearing ballots with no chain of custody -- after counting was announced to have paused for the night and all observers were sent home.

I’m speechless, Deborah.

In the dead of night, when they thought no one was watching...
217 House Republicans voted to SLASH veterans’ health care and abandon these heroes that fought for our country.
It’s despicable. It’s shameful. And Deborah, I won’t let them get away with it.
That’s why I’m emailing every single grassroots Democrat I know to ask:
