Bush steps up fundraising for GOP

SEATTLE --President Bush darted across the country Friday to raise cash for a pair of political candidates, part of a stepped-up fundraising pace aimed at helping the GOP retain its majority in Congress.

Bush has been the headliner at 39 fundraisers that have brought in $126 million during this midterm election cycle, with more scheduled in the coming weeks, according to the Republican National Committee. At the end of June 2002, he had done 38 events.

On Friday, the president flew from the White House to Seattle for a two-and-a-half-hour visit to help freshman Rep. Dave Reichert and the state Republican Party raise more than $500,000. Then he was off to New Mexico for a two-hour stop to raise $375,000 for Rep. Heather Wilson.

Finally, he was flying on to Texas, where he planned to spend the Father's Day weekend at his ranch.

Admission to the reception was set at $1,000, and individual photographs with the president cost $10,000.

and they're a bunch of crooks and liars. a friend told me over lunch that he was in a meeting where they talked about disrupting's sony's PS3 release by bombarding their website with fake complaints when it comes out and they actually had meetings about it... that's so microsoft. goodness, they're so greedy... it's all about the billions. at least gates does something with his vast fortune.

TO FUNDRAISE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? It just irritates the hell out of me. Come to think of it, most things irritate the hell out of me lately. LOL!

doing the work of raising money for undeserving representatives in Congress when he should be doing his damn job that less than 50% of people wanted him doing in the first damn place.... I'm torn, I guess having him not doing anything is actually better than screwing things up worse??? And maybe him going around for these poor quality candidates with shiny silver hair and fake smiles will actually do more harm than good, even with the millions?
