More Than Half of Bush Coffers Spent

[Spazito]

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) has spent seven of every $10 he has raised for his re-election campaign, more than half of it on television ads, and is asking supporters for more money.


Bush has collected at least $218 million since he began fund raising in May 2003, easily outpacing Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites). But Kerry raised about $25 million to Bush's $13 million in May as the president scaled back his record-setting drive to hold fund-raisers for other Republicans.


Bush spent about $152 million through May and began this month with $63 million in the bank. His campaign filed its monthly finance report Friday with the Federal Election Commission (news - web sites).


By the end of this month, Bush and Kerry together will have spent more than $140 million since March on television ads. Bush will have spent more than $80 million and Kerry more than $60 million.

1. Kerry "has certainly got his liberal allies all stirred up to attack me."

In a fund-raising e-mail this week, the president declared that Kerry "has certainly got his liberal allies all stirred up to attack me."

8. It does appear to be a black hole...

Seems that the more money Bush* spends, the lower he drops in the polls. Perhaps we should drop a few bucks on him to help him along on his journey in life...:evilgrin:

6. The facts are always against the conservatives

That's why they created the character issue back in the 1980's.

Now that's against them too.

What new issue will they create that will make Bush look good in comparison to Kerry? That he has better hair?

2. "since he began fund raising in May 2003," ~ Who are they kidding?

He began his fund raising the day after he was sworn in and has never stopped. What a load of garbage.
