Winning Behind Enemy Lines

November 28, 2006

A little known secret is how the Democrats look upon those of us on the right. Yet, they dare call us the "divisive" ones. In an email received today from Democrat Rahm Emanual, they show just how they really do perceive us by how he titled the email sent to pat each other on the back.

Dear Lewis,

Although I wrote two weeks ago, I want to say again just how grateful I and everybody on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) staff are for everything you've done to help us win. In addition to giving us the resources we needed to support our ever-growing list of competitive candidates, I saw first hand how thousands of members of the DCCC community stepped up to knock on doors, make the phone calls, and fight for every vote on the ground.

We've accomplished so much. We will have the first woman Speaker in the history of the United States of America. We helped bring one of the most sweeping change elections in memory, overcoming massive disadvantages in terms of Republican redistricting, Republican special interest money, and a legendary Republican field operation that we managed to surpass in two short years. The American people never lose their zeal for reform, and neither can we. The old era of irresponsibility is over and the new era of real reform has just begun.

Below you will find the official memo we've produced on DCCC successes this cycle. The DCCC did not win these elections on our own, those who worked for it are too many to name, but this memo will help explain what we in the DCCC and DCCC community did to bring about the change that we so desperately needed. This is the difference your contribution made.

Read the DCCC Post-Election Memo .

You've been with us, so you know that memo only scratches the surface of the fight we waged together to take America in a new direction. Thank you again for your dedication, now it is time to govern and fulfill our promises; time to protect and expand our Democratic majority; time to make the progressive vision for America the reality for years to come.

Sincerely,

Rahm Emanuel
Chairman, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

I just love this new spirit of bi-partisanship, even before they assume power in Washington D.C.
