Minnesota Senate Candidate Gets Money Boost From Bush
President Bush pulled out his tough-on-terrorism speech from his last campaign and said on Friday that the United States would wage an unrelenting battle in Iraq to protect Americans at home.

"Our short-term objective is to stay on the hunt and bring the killers to justice before they hurt us again," the president said at a political event. "I'd rather be defeating them there than face them here at home."

Bush spoke at a fundraiser expected to net $1 million for Rep. Mark Kennedy, the presumptive Republican nominee for the state's open Senate seat, and the state GOP. The event was a delicate balancing act for Kennedy — who needs Bush's fundraising muscle to keep his war chest growing but also has been making some effort to distance himself from a president who has been down in the polls.

"This is a Senator Kennedy I can work with," Bush told hundreds of wealthy Republican supporters at a $1,000-a-plate luncheon at a downtown hotel here, comparing the GOP candidate with the famously liberal Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. "He's the right person for the job."

4. Screech can run, but he won't win.
I've got news for Mark, Bush doesn't have any clothes, much less coat-tails.

Bush's national poll numbers suck, in Minnesota, he's lower than loon shit. Other than tying up traffic, * can come and visit all he wants, Kennedy will lose grong with each visit.

5. i was one of over 200 people outside the hilton hotel protesting
My friend was arrested, when we went to scout out the back entrance where bush would be entering. I managed to get away before the cops came towards me.

One of the best chants:

Who harbors terrorists?
The hilton harbors terrorists!

7. HA! Kennedy is SUCH a putz...
...he and Chimpy deserve each other. They'll look so cute together, sharing a cage and flinging feces at one another...

Even some of the GOPpies in MN are tired of Kennedy shooting off his iggerent mouth when he doesn't have clue #1 what he's talking about.

derisively,
Bright
