Subject: Frist: The Deadline Approaches to Help Our Senate CandidatesTomorrow at midnight is an important financial deadline for all of our Senate candidates. Over the past weeks and months, many of you have contributed directly to our Senate candidates. Thank you! Your support has been critical.
In the closing days, one particular Senate race deserves your immediate attention and financial support: the Virginia Senate race.
If you are like me, you have followed his Senate race with interest. As Senate Leader, I always knew that I could rely upon George Allen, a strong conservative, to stand with the President and me on the important issues: the War on Terror, confirming judges, securing our borders, and cutting taxes.
It was these votes that made George a target of the liberal media, the Washington chattering class and national Democrats. Since the Democrat primary in June, these groups have personally attacked him, his campaign and his record.To counter these attacks, George's campaign has had to spend a considerable amount of money and time. And now, with both running out, we must support George's campaign and help him through the final, critical hours.
So please make an immediate contribution directly to George Allen's campaign of $25, $50, $75, $100, $250 or -- if you can afford to -- $500. To do so, please click here:

George Allen deserves your immediate support. In the Senate next year, the Republican leadership will need George Allen to cast critical votes on issues of great consequence. Help me re-elect George Allen with an immediate contribution today. To make a contribution, please click here:

Thanks again,
Bill Frist, M.D.
Senate Majority LeaderP.S. The President and I have relied upon George Allen over the last years to cast critical votes on legislation important to our efforts to move America forward. For these reasons alone, George Allen deserves our immediate support. To make a contribution directly to George Allen's campaign, please click here:

So, what did we learn from this e-mail? Three things. First, that George Allen is the loyal servant of George W. Bush and Bill Frist. Second, that Allen is whining (and lying) about how he's been "personally attacked," when we all know it's been the ALLEN CAMPAIGN, not the Webb campaign, that's done 90% of the ad hominem attacking the past few months. And finally, we learn that Allen is almost out of time and money.
That's pretty good, huh, a guy who started with unlimited money against an opponent with none ends up blowing it all and getting outspent down the homestretch? Must be that "fiscal conservatism" again, just like how Allen helped turn large budget surpluses under Bill Clinton into large and endless deficits under his master, George W. Bush. Can we say 97% rubberstamp or what?

1) We will still stay the course in Iraq, maybe change the rhetoric a bit and extend tours of duty a bit to beef up the number of targets for terrorists. 2) We will privatize social security if I can figure out a way to window dress it up so as to slip it by in the dark of night. 3) We will expand presidential powers even more and probably begin to incarcerate actual native-born American citizens (who incidentally oppose Me) without charges in secret prisons. 4) Torture is now publicly used as national policy wherever I deem it advisable. 5) Unions and libraries will be crushed as hotbeds of unpatriotic opposition to Me. 6) Media will be prosecuted for any slight lack of fawning on Me 7) Iran will be bombed to effect a regime change. 8) We may have to bomb Chavez in Venezuela just like Reagan bombed Gadhafi in Libya. 8) Don't rule out use of nuclear weapons in any of these situations.
Ambitious little sucker, ain't he? And you didn't think your vote mattered?
