WASHINGTON - President Bush helped the GOP raise at least $38.5 million Wednesday at its annual gala — all of it in donations limited in size — and smash a one-night record set when political parties could still rake in large corporate contributions.

“We should not take him lightly. He’s an experienced senator who’s built up quite a record,” Bush said of Kerry, without naming him. “He’s been in Washington long enough to take both sides on just about every issue.”

Following the theme “Taste of the States,” the menu included crab cakes, Boston cream pie and New York cheesecake to represent the Atlantic region; smoked country ham, fried green tomatoes and peach cobbler for “Dixieland”; sushi, smoked salmon and baked Alaska for the Pacific coast; pork chops, empanadas and churros for the “Home on the Range” states; and roast beef, Wisconsin cheeses and apple pie for the “Heartland.”

Bush family video

The RNC added another personal touch by showing a video of the Bush family, including scenes of Bush and first lady Laura Bush kissing and holding hands as they walked, and of Bush hugging his brother Jeb, Florida’s governor.

Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? :puke:

Thanks!:puke:

Shades of Milosevic in Yugoslavia.

the chimp plunders the Treasury, gives to rich friends (in the form of 'tax breaks'), rich friends give back to chimpy in the form of campaign donations.

Slick, huh?

bastads! well at least I know my money is making someone happy!:wtf:did I just say????!?!?!?!?

Where the twit said something to the effect, that he had assembled the best cabinet in history…..boy, could that be sliced and diced….if we had an independent media….

they reported, I :puke:

That is UTTERLY ridiculous. That is such nonsense. Whatever.

actually give money to these thugs while getting huge tax breaks that take money away from much needed social services and benefits for the poor and working poor.

Anyone who thinks bush is going to run out of money during this campaign is sadly mistaken.

.

with the endless fundraising, I guess this is proof of their desperation. It would be interesting to see a list of these corporate donors and what they plan on getting in return or speculate on what laws they intend to create for us.

Hopefully come November, Kerry will boot this cheap ho out of Al Gore's House!
