Bush campaign appeal portrays president as fund-raising underdog
Uh.... WTF?!?!


http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/08/28/elec04.prez.bush.funds.ap/index.html


WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's campaign -- expected to dwarf Democratic hopefuls by raising $200 million or more for the primaries, with no GOP rival -- is appealing for donations by portraying Bush as a fund-raising underdog who won't have enough cash to defend himself against Democratic attacks.

"Democrats and their allies will have more money to spend attacking the president during the nomination battle than we will have to defend him," campaign chairman Marc Racicot wrote in the fund-raising e-mail sent Wednesday night.

2. Ahhh, this sounds like something right up the alley of scum like
Falwell and Robertson and the other religious con men out their operating for the GOP---I'll bet they will cry out for help to the sheep. They have a real inside track in the rip-off business.

5. What a whopper
How could idiots dotate money to a liar like that.He sure has balls to lie like a dog to his donors and supporters.I think it insults their intellegence.I'd say the reason there doing it is because as time goes on and the shit hits the fan money may be a little harder to get later on.

6. Instant replay education re Underdog
Hehehe - Look at the names and terrorist crimes of the "enemies"!




Underdog's main foes included underworld boss Riff Raff, and Simon Bar Sinister, an evil scientist who once created a Big Dipper Machine to steal the world's water supply. He then enslaved the citizens and made them do as "Simon Says" just to get a drink

7. When I first saw this headline I thought it was a joke
If the American people really fall for this strategy, then I may have to stop keeping a blog that records all the elitist comments here and start to think some of you are right.

8. don't believe it.
This must be a ploy to rile us up. There's no way they could push the notion that Georgie is an underdog. Not after all the $$money he's raked in.

By the way, that's no guarantee they'll win. There are other things that will weigh on peoples' minds, like jobs, the deficit, war in Iraq, personal freedoms, etc etc.

I think they should collect $billions$ for Georgie's campaign. It will be so much more entertaining if they lose.

Plus, I have more faith in voting americans than the DU gives them credit for. I think they will do what's right when it comes down to it.

9. Now I get it!
It's going to be the "vast left wing conspiracy". With FOX pretty much disscredited, the pop media just ain't that chimp friendly any more. Check NY Times best seller's list: it's full of anti-AWOL books. The only high profile people that support the jerk are on his (our) pay role. He is becoming isolated except from the religous nuts & the corporate rich that he has bribed with tax cuts.
