Reply #63: No surprise it was well written...

...the staffer worked in the communications dept. Its the basic premise of the story which I question. If I had a dying woman in my home, I'd call 911. If money was a problem, I'd try local social services - even churches and local Red Cross. What I wouldn't do is call the national offices of a political party. That part of the story just doesn't make sense.

If your house was on fire, and the local FD was slow to respond, would you call the national office of the RNC, explain you were a life-long Democrat who supported Kerry in the last election, and ask them to help send firetrucks? Of course not.

The gist of the story may be true, I don't know. But it sounds "embellished", which is what raised a red flag to me, not how well it was written.
