Today, Michele Bachmann writes, yet again, to tell me that the Democrats are picking on her:
Fellow Conservative,
The national Democrats would love nothing more than to see me lose — and they have already decided to pull out all the stops to make that happen.
In fact just yesterday, Roll Call — a Capitol Hill political publication — is hinting that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is telling reporters that I’m on the top of their list for defeat. (The DCCC is Nancy Pelosi’s campaign slush fund.)
You see, the DCCC has already identified my district and campaign as one they are targeting for defeat in 2014. And you can bet they will have the resources to go all out. In 2012 alone, the DCCC raised and spent more than $184 million dollars to defeat Republicans.
And, in addition to working overtime to defeat our campaign, they have willing accomplices in the liberal media to continue their dirty work by misrepresenting and misleading voters all over the national airwaves.
Fellow Conservative, I need your help to fight back.
I cannot do this without you. Our campaign is entirely funded by the donations of my supporters and close friends like yourself.
You see, the DCCC has it all wrong. They think that if they can defeat me, they will have defeated our values. But, our campaign isn’t about me- it’s about US. It’s about restoring our government and economy, protecting our shared constitutional conservative values, eliminating the wasteful spending in Washington, and ensuring our conservative voice is heard.
We cannot let the DCCC undo all of the great work we have done in the past. The actions we take today will determine our future.
If the national Democrats and the liberal media are going to start campaigning against me this early — then you and I must start this early as well.
And that’s exactly why I’m writing you today.
You have been a loyal supporter and friend, but your continued support has never been more important. The ultra-liberals at the DCCC are now openly targeting my race, and we need to fight back.
The fastest way to join our campaign is by making an online donation.
Thank you for standing with me at the outset of what promises to be an exciting year.
Sincerely,
Michele BachmannPS. I need your urgent support. The fact that the DCCC is working this early to defeat our campaign, proves that they will pull out all the stops this election cycle. We must work hard today to prove we are going to fight back with everything we have. Please follow this link to show your support and make your most generous contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more today. Thanks.
It’s gotten to where, when I get an email from Michele, I want to respond the way Grace the secretary in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” did to Jeannie: “Who’s bothering you now?”

Brad sure is getting his allotment of GOP bashing in this month. Things must just be peachy over on the Democrat’s side because he hasn’t said a word.
The most probable reason Democrats are looking to take Ms. Bachmann’s seat is that she has definite problems with reality. Various statements she has made attest to this fact, which means most independents will not vote for her. It makes it easy to field a preferable candidate.
She did count you as a close friend. With friends like that…
Meh. Seems like the boilerplate “Please give me money” letter that politicians write all the time. She’s been the incumbent there since 2007, so I’d be surprised if she’s actually under that much of a threat.
Typical political letter template:
Dear Supporter:
Recent event [insert topical event] makes this upcoming election the most important election in our lifetime. The [opposing party] will stop at nothing to [insert scary sounding thing from other party’s agenda] which I will fight against. Won’t you stand with me and help contribute to my campaign to [detail about saving America somehow]? Please [click this link to give me money/sign up to volunteer] now.
Your contribution will make the difference between Armageddon and utopia.
Sincerely,
POLITICIAN
Is Joe Wilson her campaign manager? It certainly looks like I was reading something that Joe would put out.
My thoughts exactly. Michele, have you asked the people of your district what they think of all this?
So “emo.” Yawn.
