I join the legions of FReepers who are Rolling On the Floor Laughing Out Loud. :)
That's horse-hockey. Bill and Hillary were recently here in Maryland - one of the most liberal DemocRAT states in the country - appearing separately and managed only about $800,000 for a freaking Kennedy. Compare that to President Bush's $1.8 million for Bob Ehrlich - yes, in Maryland.
... While Democratic Party fundraising powerhouses Bill and Hillary Clinton continue to rake in millions of dollars for candidates running in this fall's election, former Vice President Al Gore managed to raise just $5,000 at one Iowa event this week, a sum one party insider dismissed as "chump change" ...Is that five grand net, or gross?--I mean, could this be a case of the massive expense of hosting Gore and his entourage of parasites, lack-wit bootlick media consultants, psuedo-intellectuals, and other hangers-on cutting deeply into the pelf?
Come to think of it AlGorebatross has only campaigned for 2 Tennessee canidates. Leftist boby clement who is running against Lamar, and socialist sherry fisher who is running against Heroine anti-income tax warrior Mae Beavers for state Senate.
I wish News Max or World Net Daily would pick this story up. Weasel Word Phil has now decided to BREAK TN campaign funding law. Our AG says the law is unconstitutional..it has NOT been tested through the TN Supreme Court. Weasel Word Phil says he won't sit still and let Dubya and Cheney come into Tennessee and raise big bucks for Van Hilleary. YET he won't have slick, shillary, tommy dashole, dick gebhard, teddy kennedy or Native SON AlGorebatross campaign for him..says this is a State election not a national one...I thought AlGorebatross lives in Nashville..last time I looked he VOTES in Tennessee. REAL reasons are they are all big spenders, big taxers and ANTI-GUN and he doesn't want to be seen with them.
Gore's role minor in state politics Bredesen keeping his distance from ex-vice president
Hillary Clinton is the party's the most popular presidential candidate,
Now that isn't funny at all!
Former Vice President Al Gore came to Wisconsin to raise money for Jim Doyle and other Democratic candidates Wednesday, but it wasn't your usual ballyhooed media event.
All sessions were by invitation only and held behind closed doors.
The press had no advance notice of Gore's visit, and a reporter who showed up at a luncheon featuring Gore at Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel was shooed from the room by state Democratic Party aides.
And, unlike events with other prominent Democratic politicians, Doyle, the state attorney general and candidate for governor, made no public appearances with Gore, who, despite his narrow loss to George W. Bush in 2000, remains one of the most prominent Democrats in the country.
Although Doyle said he was pressed for time because he had to hustle to the gubernatorial debate in Eau Claire, political experts suspect there was another reason for the kid-gloves approach:
Doyle wanted to avoid publicity with Gore - perhaps because of Gore's recent criticism of President Bush for pushing to use military force in Iraq.
"My guess is they were afraid that Al Gore could be a negative for Doyle," said Ed Miller, a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point political science professor. Doyle's campaign may have feared he'd appear too liberal by association with Gore, Miller said.
Doyle has positioned himself as a moderate in the race for governor, with a constant emphasis on avoiding tax increases.
"Especially when Doyle has a lead (in the polls), he didn't want to do anything to jeopardize that lead," Miller said.
David Littig, a UW-Green Bay political scientist, agreed with that analysis. "Gore is perhaps damaged goods," Littig said. Doyle and the Democratic Party may not have wanted to risk the possibility of alienating any voters by too close an association with Gore, Littig said.
C'mon, Al, you're gonna have to do better than that to crank the Fraud machine up in Wisconsin, New Mexico and Florida again.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Stop I can't take any more....BWA HA HA HA HA HA
