Tchotchkes We Can Believe In

While Senator Obama leads a campaign of hope and change, John McCain and the RNC peddle tat to those who think a recovery in the Beanie Babies market will lead us out of recession:

Embroidered with the official logo of the RNC, Sam is decked out in red, white and blue and is sure to be the hit of your July Fourth party.

Sam is available for a limited-time only to our most loyal supporters like you, Schlomo. We'll send you Sam today with your special contribution of at least $35.

Or you can get all four Republican collectibles -- Sam, Max, Maxine, and Patrick -- with your special contribution of $110 by clicking here. The RNC elephants are wonderful plush toys and make a perfect gift for your favorite Republicans.

Your donation will be put to work immediately. The RNC is leading the way to ensure John McCain and all our Republican candidates have the resources needed to run strong campaigns and defeat the liberal Democrats this November.

What are the odds Sam is made in China and stuffed with lead shavings?
