Republicans "ecstatic" at the prospect of Bush-Cheney fundraisers in 2006

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Bush plans to be active on the campaign trail this year, and Republican campaign officials said he and Vice President Dick Cheney remained the party's star fund-raisers.

"I don't think you can find any Republican in the country who wouldn't be ecstatic to go to a fund-raiser with the president or vice president and have their picture taken. They are still a huge draw," said Carl Forti, a spokesman for the House Republican campaign committee.

When and where Bush will be used for campaign rallies and advertisements in the fall is up in the air.

"We try to run these races district by district," Forti said. "It will really just depend on which part of the country and which district you are talking about."

1. Go for it

The number his approval is at should help the Repuke candidates alot. He's nothing but trouble for anybody trying to get elected or reelected.

2. a) I'm not sure this goniff isn't just blowing smoke . . .

and b) Schimpanski may bring in the money, but he also hands the opposition a stick to beat the erstwhile pubbie candidates with.

I think more 'Licans than you'd think will be saying "thanks but no thanks" to a Chimpie stand-up.

3. He's saying it for the benefit of the republicans he wants to fork over $

After all, if Bush and Cheney can't raise money, what's left for Bush to do? What good is a national fundraising committee?

4. Maybe the GOP can pay the $56K/hr it casts to operate USAF1

I hate financing Cheney and *'s travels about the realm for reelecting Cons who really deserve to be sentenced not reseated.

5. That's a cool picture.

Too bad the Chimp is in it.

6. If you build it (or demand a certain emotional reaction from your sheep)

they will come....and bleet in the emotional manner that has been ordained from above
