Looks like it really came from the GOP, and has a nice 419-style spam
appended to the bottom.

Way to go, PA GOP! Sheesh...

Ok, now we have truly re-defined spam. In Canada, a government
sponsored agency can always email you (automatic relationship). In
almost every country in the world...same thing, government can email
you. In America, we have 2 parties and we vote on the government.
Last election, the Dems put together Acorn and spammed EVERYONE and
you (anti-spam community) supported it and blocked Ron Paul. Now, the
GOP does what the Dems did...and it's spam. It's not government
communication, the fact that the messages are sent to registered
Republicans somehow is completely forgotten and the relationship us
Republicans have with the party isn't existent HUH? Is that your
claim?

Hey, you idiot:

I'm not a registered republican, nor did I sign up for it.

Now, please go dry out from your latest drug/alcohol binge, ok?

If not for the PA GOP's attempts to win your endearment and
separate you from your money, how about for Miss Karen Mangi's?

No? Perhaps you opted-in for Airnet Group's broadcast emails?
<URL:http://www.smartechcorp.net/index.php?s=email>

Do you have any reason to receive email from 64.203.96.0/20?
I haven't for quite some time, but to each their own.

Remember how I built half my list (the first half)? You called it
spam...but at least it was targeted. May I present, the worst
targeting known to the web...the Dem trying to persuade the Republican
with spam!

But the Dems do it a little more spammy. Fred Upton decided that I
must have contacted HIM! Are you for real? I contacted a Democrat
Congressman from Michigan? Yeah...but I'll bet the subject line fools
the "blind-eye liberals" behind the abuse desks.

Here's the best part. If you go to Fred's site...he'l ask you to
signup on his newsletter, but he'll conveniently place the lightbox so
high of the page that the close X is not clickable and you must submit
the signup to close out of the lightbox. WOW...that's not spammy now
is it? http://upton.house.gov/

While The Dems want to play all innocent like the data centers that
"left hand...right hand" the abuse system...we aren't dumb buddy.
Fred's message said it was a reply...but unfortunately there was no
reply answer from a server. Michigan too...how ironic!

Oh, but wait...The House can always send me emails as I am an American
citizen. Maybe that why the only time I have ever reported it was now
simply to show you that it is a common practice for political
movements and the GOP is about to have the first woman president in
history...Obama hasn't got a chance!

Let me clarify...I do not report spam! I don't click a button, I
don't tell an agency, and I don't release my records...not to nobody
at no time...and in no way! There are 2 exceptions to this rule. If
you try to scam me and then you try to publicize the opinion that I am
a bad businessman because I wouldn't help you spam/scam OR you are a
"public figure" that I have no outstanding relationship or agreement
with (can you believe they call me too?)
