"Candidates Cool to Bush, but Not His Money"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Many worried Republicans on the ballot in November have been pushing away from the White House, not wanting to be dragged under by President Bush's sinking approval ratings and growing anxiety over Iraq.

That doesn't mean they're fleeing his cash offerings, however.

Despite approval ratings in the mid-to-upper 30s, Bush remains the nation's most successful fundraiser. Vice President Dick Cheney, whose poll numbers are even lower than Bush's, is not far behind. Both have raised tens of millions of dollars for GOP congressional and gubernatorial candidates running in this year's midterm elections.

Even as some Republicans are becoming increasingly defiant on a range of issues, they're still lining up dutifully for the president's campaign dollars.

2. It doesn't matter if he only gets 30% approval of America

Because this obviously shows that that 30% are the ones with the money in this country.

5. Yep!

And another thing this shows is that it's not the average bubba wanting to keep this man in office. But the "haves" who clearly consider this administration as an "investment".

Another member wrote the perfect title fir these folks: "Blue Blood Grifters"

4. Because most politicians are whores for that campaign cash.

I agree with Feingold and Jon Stewart: publicly financed campaigns.

6. Bush is such a child I can't believe he would help anyone who

didn't kiss his butt first. Bet this shows up somewhere and he pitches a hissyfit. Can't wait.
