I hope this isn't a dupe.

>WASHINGTON (AP) The Republican Party is following up record fund raising for President Bush's re-election effort by asking donors to finance its efforts to get Bush's message "past the liberal media filter" to the public.

Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman sent a fund-raising e-mail today telling supporters donations are needed to help Bush advance his second-term agenda.

"The president has great goals for our country: a growing economy, strong homeland and national defense, tort and Social Security reform and affordable health care. But we need your help to get the president's message past the liberal media filter and directly to the American people," wrote Mehlman, Bush's 2004 campaign manager. Mehlman asked donors to give $25 or more.<

1. So, what does the "AP" stand for again?

2. They don't want any independent opinion or questioning of the

policy. ANY objective criticism is being called "liberal bias" or some other name. This has been the case from the start. They have no regard for "freedom" or more simply, facts or honesty.

3. What liberal media? I'd love to tune in...

4. Alternate reality AGAIN

This is to forestall the inevitable and credible criticism his plans will receive. And, as usual, all he has to do to direct the lemmings is say something stupid like this. Soon his mom will be out again telling them which newscasters are mean to her son.

5. I wish someone would put a gag in that old bag's trap!

6. Are they using the money to bribe

more journalists even though shrimp nuts says they won't do dat any more?

7. Someone should write Ken "Professional Fucknut" Mehlman

and tell him we'll think about saying the media's liberal when he tells the higher ups that he's gay as the Pillsbury Doughboy.
