According to Bret Baier of Fox News on tonight’s Special Report

You can watch the segment video only at Special Report under the heading Bush on Campaign Trail. You'll have to sit through 2 minutes of Fox's balanced lurch to left poll coverage before the 30 seconds of fund raising facts are revealed.

According to Bret Baier of Fox News on tonight’s Special Report

From Jan 01 to June 02 Bush attended 34 fundraisers bringing in $110 Million for Republicans.

From Jan 05 to June 06 Bush attended 39 fundraisers bringing in $129 Million for Republicans. Laura Bush attended 20 fundraisers bringing in $10 Million.

Monday in Washington Bush is expected to bring in 25 million for House and Senate campaign committees.

Evidently Dubya’s rock bottom poll numbers translate into big donations. Increased contribution are an indicator of popular support. They are a better indicator of voter turnout than media bought weighted polls of adults, or registered voters. People who give money to a candidate rarely forget to vote for them.

The truth is SO obvious ... EXCEPT to the Rats and old media.
He is SO admired by rational, thinking people .... if only we could conscript him to a third term ... if only.

If he does have a secret, it is that he knows political "judo".

Xlinton has been doing some fundraisers also but he is netting a couple hundred thousand per event. The rats have no rat counterpart to turn to. It is shaping up to be a very good Nov for Republicans.

The (admittedly fevered) attempts by the Libs to split the Conservatives over the ports and illegal immigration seem to have been unsuccessful. I wonder when FR posters who know better will quit falling for the Libs attempts to divide us from each other and from the President.

We CAN'T be that simple, can we?

I see the Republicans doing so well in November that the far left will be discredited thus setting the stage for Mark Warner.

I still don't understand why the Dems love Clinton so much; he absolutely destroyed that party.

And the democrats continue to try and fill their coffers by squeezing Indian tribes. :)

As if we didn't know the polls were nothing but Pravda type propaganda from the media hacks. And that includes FNC these days.

Although Warner seems more moderate than other Dem contenders, he is the favored candidate of the Kos crowd. So either I am misapprehending Warner, or they are.

Fox News really does try to be "Fair & Balanced." Ann Coulter has pointed out that Fox has more Liberal commentators than all the other networks combined have Conservative commentators. Every now & then I get trapped in a waiting room with TV news other than Fox. They are so extremely Liberal biased it's hard to believe.

Wait, that can't be. He is a lame duck, he's a no good President that took us into a war that has nothing to do with the WOT, he is stupid, he is a moron. I think Fox means $129 that he probably stole from his dad anyway, not millions, and not this loser. /S off

FNC continued to use the company that engaged in voter fraud in 2000. Despite all the problems and their promise to do better, it went ahead with the same company.

FNC also continues to use the polls weighted with more dems without mentioning that little fact.

What point is there is being part of the crowd that is deliberately creating a false impression of the President's numbers.

"We CAN'T be that simple, can we?"

This "division" was never driven by the MSM. They've just picked up on it. There are very substantive policy disagreements conservatives have with the Administration.

Conservatives aren't split on these issues. Republicans are. There are both liberal and conservative Republicans. The liberal wing seems to be running the party these days.

The founder of the GOP, some hated him so much they fought a civil war over it.

Have you read the Republican Party platform?

What has that have to do with the ingrates that are biting the hand that feeds them? The platform does not have a plank for that.

As some so often claim, the President isn't running for re-election. Congressmen and Senators are.

I've read the Party platform. It represents what this Party is supposed to stand for. I don't very few of those planks in the Administration's domestic policy. Some voters pay attention to that.
