Bush Cabinet Members Stump in Key States

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON - Just before voters went to the polls, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman headed to Ohio Monday to hand out federal money that she said shows her boss "is committed to assisting small businesses in rural America."



Interior Secretary Gale Norton on Monday praised President Bush (news - web sites)'s "enthusiastic leadership" while announcing he had signed into law the new Lewis & Clark National Historical Park in Washington and Oregon — two battleground states leaning Democratic Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s way.


They were the latest examples of Bush's use of his Cabinet and taxpayer-funded largess based on Congress' choices to help try to swing the election. Bush's last day of stumping began in Ohio, which no Republican has lost and still won the White House.

1. I can't wait for the grown-ups and responsible adults to take our

3. They have nothing else to do

The treasury has been vacuumed out by Halliburton so we don't need a Secretary of the Treasury. We certainly don't need a Secretary of Labor since workers are of no concern. Likewise with Health and Human Services. Once they sell off the National Parks, Interior can close up shop. Justice has no plans to enforce voting rights, so they have nothing to do.

4. Who's running the country?

Just makes you sick when you think that Kerry and Edwards have been attacked all year for missing Senate votes, and these folks who are supposed to be running the country (and not just voting on legislation) are AWOL and campaigning for *.

6. They sent GHOULS to Michigan--and they were in full costume

Actually--they're in full costume every day. If these two aren't a couple of ghouls I don't know who is. Check that guy on the left with the red eyes looking like he's getting ready to bite the person in front of him.
