Damn! Bush-McCain Fundraiser Scaled Back - Can't Sell Enough Tickets.

Bush-McCain Fundraiser Scaled Back Due To Lack Of Takers
By Eric Kleefeld - May 24, 2008, 12:31AM
A planned mega-fundraiser for the GOP, featuring President Bush and John McCain, has now been scaled back in the face of a daunting problem: Too few people actually wanted to buy tickets.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, fundraiser set for this Tuesday in the city's convention center failed to sell enough tickets, leading to fears that the anti-Bush protesters might end up outnumbering actual attendees.

The new plan is for the Bush-McCain fundraising effort, which will benefit both the McCain campaign and the RNC, to be held in private residences in the Phoenix area away from media coverage.

And the corporate whore media thinks we can't beat this guy?

Obama is getting it right as gold and should never let up: "Bush McCain. Bush McCain. Bush McCain."

15. She tried to call, but her mouth had been tightened too much from the last face lift

The phone calls just sounded like: "mmmmph mmnnn mmmmmph mm mmrrmm mmm..." Her friends thought it was a prank call and hung up. Sad, really.

6. How much proof does one need to realize McCain is no real threat

if an honest election is allowed to take place. I hope those spouting the idiotic comments that Hillary will help McCain win by staying in the race will give it up now...I am sure there are many other real worries they can share about her candidacy,no need to make things up.

11. Hey, I heard a guy had a couple tickets to a Bush-McCain rally and couldn't use them,

so one morning he tacked them up on an electrical pole in his highly Republican neighborhood, hoping someone would take them off his hands.

When he came back home at the end of the day, he noticed that not only were they still there, but the whole pole was covered with other tacked-up tickets placed there by his neighbors.

(OK, it's a joke, and an old one, usually told about really bad football teams. But somehow it seems appropriate.)

What do you think is the reason behind Cindy suddenly releasing some of her tax returns....? Could it be she is going to have to help finance his campaign.....I think it could be a possibility.

17. Think Skinner might offer a special fund-raising drive here?

I mean, November isn't going to be any fun if only Democrats show up.
