Marilyn Musgrave is still taking her loss to Rep. Betsy Markey (D-Colo.) extremely hard. After a tough loss in one of the most expensive elections in the country, the former congresswoman went underground for a while, not even thanking her campaign staff. She now has wound up over at anti-abortion group the Susan B. Anthony List, hoping to “get rid of the worst liberals in Congress.”



She recently sent out a tersely worded, stunning four-page (four-page!) missive reeking of bitterness, with underlined sentences, paragraphs in bold and even a postscript from the letterhead of “Congressman Marilyn Musgrave” announcing her latest campaign: the Votes Have Consequences grass-roots project that aims to “expose pro-abortion politicians.”



She mentions several times that people have spent a vast amount of money (“roughly $18 million”) to eject her from her seat. She quotes the Bible: “The truth shall set you free.” She then asks people to donate any denomination of money ($25 to $5,000) so that they can “spread the truth about [liberals’] destructive agendas, drag down their approval ratings, force them to publicly defend socialism, authoritarian gun-grabbing, gay marriage, infanticide and everything else they vote for in Washington, and, ultimately, on Nov. 2, 2010, we will take their jobs away from them.”



She even sneaks in a dig at the RNC. She adds in the letter that she wants to “attack liberal candidates who deserve to be attacked and to defend conservatives when the Republican National Committee is nowhere to be found.”



Plus: “In other words, we’ll do to them what the most rapid and relentless left-wing groups did to me over the past six years, with one major difference: We will tell the truth!” It says that, in a few months, more details about who they’re targeting will come to surface, but “our focus will be on the real hypocrites ... like politicians like Harry Reid who call themselves ‘pro-life’ during the campaign season, then go back to voting pro-abortion in Washington.”



SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser told Shenanigans: “We join a newly emboldened pro-life grass-roots army who is encouraged and excited by Marilyn Musgrave’s leadership. She is helping lead the Susan B. Anthony List exactly where we need to be, by leveraging the pro-abortion left’s own shrewd strategy against itself.”
