Bush: 'A Democrat victory... would turn back clock'

by Mark Silva

Got an email from President George W. Bush just now.

He doesn't actually do e-mail.

It's from the party, and they're looking for money.

$27.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 alone.

"During the last seven years, you have stood shoulder to shoulder with me to meet the challenges that faced our country,'' the president says in his party-circulated email.

"The outcome of these elections will set our nation's course for a generation,'' Bush says. "The mission of every Republican must be to keep the White House and retake the U.S. House and Senate. We must elect a new Republican president in order to defend America and extend our nation's prosperity.

"A Democrat victory in November would turn back the clock on all that we have accomplished to strengthen our national security, grow our economy and improve our schools.

"Vice President Cheney, Laura and I are doing everything we can to ensure the RNC has the resources to provide our candidates with the tools they need to build, strong effective campaigns.... Wiil you stand with us again by making a special 2008 campaign contribution to the Republican National Committee today? Your special online gift of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the RNC will go a long way towards electing a Republican president, retaking control of Congress and regaining a majority of statehouses....

"Having twice been the nominee, I can tell you how vital this assistance was to my own campaigns in 2000 and 2004,'' he adds. "I would not have won election or re-election without the RNC's strong and effective efforts.''...[Open in new window]
