Rick Santorum sent me an email!

[tpfkaw]

Yup, here it is:

Dear Patriot:

"Rick Santorum cannot win. Mitt Romney can't lose."

That's what the moderate GOP Establishment wants you to think anyway. I'm here to tell them something different. Will you join me and send a message today?

The media elites and the Establishment said we couldn't succeed in Iowa – right up until we did. Now that Iowa is over, they're quick to explain why winning in Iowa doesn't matter. They want you to think Mitt Romney cannot possibly be defeated.

Well, guess what? The GOP establishment does not get to decide who our nominee is. The liberal media does not get to decide who our nominee is. YOU DO.

Barack Obama is more vulnerable than any President since Jimmy Carter. The only way Republicans lose is if we screw this up and nominate another moderate who has taken multiple positions on every major issue of our time. I firmly believe we are going to elect a Republican President in 2012. So let's elect a CONSERVATIVE Republican, shall we?

Make no mistake, I can win this primary, and then take the fight to Barack Obama. But I cannot do it without you. New Hampshire's primary is in 6 days. A week after that is South Carolina. I have to raise $2 million in the next 4 days to be competitive.

Will you help me do it? This is your chance to send a message to the moderate Establishment and the liberal media elites and the DC consultants that this is our Party, and we will nominate a conservative who shares our values.

Do you want to elect the most conservative President since Ronald Reagan? Then you have got to fight back today. Not tomorrow, not next week. We've got to do it TODAY.

Just do it; click this link, and take your country back. It can be done, but we've got to start right now.

Sincerely,

Rick Santorum







And my response:

Dear Rick,

Though the "GOP establishment" no doubt is even now in violent paroxyisms of fear that Tweedledum might defeat the Tweedledee which they have already invested so much in, it is only because they have already invested so much in Tweedledee first.  If you had been the one who correctly deduced which way the wind was blowing in 2006, then perhaps you, too, might have been the choice of the "GOP establishment."  Indeed, if Tweedledee were to keel over from a heart attack tomorrow, the "GOP establishment" would undoubtedly back a self-admitted "big-government conservative" such as yourself.  Indeed, while George W. Bush was increasing spending faster than any president since Lyndon Johnson, you were right out in front demanding more spending on various and sundry "pro-family" legislation, though I must admit you also have stood out in your advocacy of such crucial issues facing our nation as to how many trillions of dollars must be added to the debt and how many thousands of children must grow up in single parent households in order to stay true to that well-known Catholic doctrine of "war is always just."  Of course, said children in said single-parent households are undoubtedly buoyed by your "pro-family" spending.  Though it is true that your leadership in the field of preventing man-dog-child polygamous marriage may distract pro-life individuals from your pro-death leanings, it is absolutely ridiculous for someone playing the William Scranton to Romney's Nelson Rockefeller to claim to be a "true conservative."

Sincerely yours,

Patriot

Both the email and the answer show us how low the level of political debate inside the GOP has fallen.

[Keystone Phil]

One of the two people read the first e-mail and wrote the second. The other person wrote the first e-mail and that's it.

You just slightly inconvenienced an intern by 2-3 seconds. Congrats?

ahahaha.  You are awesome.  

But you will never be as hot as Cynthia McKinney, so get over it.

Nah, the intern probably got a good chuckle out of it and then forwarded it to a few others with the subject line "Another crazy..."

Replies to campaign emails likely get put straight in their spam folder.  Hence why you posted it here, right?  You needed the pat on the back.

I always rather liked Rick Santorum. I guess that makes me like the GOP establishment. If Romney keels over, I'll support Santorum.
