Bush Raises at Least $34M in Six Weeks

By SHARON THEIMER
Associated Press Writer
July 1, 2003

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's campaign said Tuesday it has raised at least $34.2 million since he announced his 2004 re-election effort in May, with some checks still to be counted.

The Republican's total dwarfs fund-raising by his nine Democratic rivals, including Howard Dean, who racked up more than $800,000 in a daylong Web-a-thon on Monday that put him firmly among his party's money leaders as the second fund-raising quarter ended at midnight.

Bush raised $3 million at fund-raisers in Miami and Tampa, Fla., on Monday while Vice President Dick Cheney helped the campaign collect at least $500,000 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and $600,000 in Akron, Ohio.

The Bush-Cheney campaign had expected to raise around $30 million for the quarter after six weeks of fund raising. Bush entered the race in mid-May."This number represents strong enthusiasm for the president's leadership," campaign manager Ken Mehlman said.

Dean Taps Into Democrats' Frustrations

By MIKE GLOVER
Associated Press Writer

PHOENIX (AP) -- To hear him talk, you can't tell what most peeves Howard Dean: the U.S.-led war in Iraq or his Democratic presidential rivals inside the Washington Beltway.Either way, Dean's take-no-prisoners' pitch is driving scores of supporters and millions of dollars to his long-shot candidacy.

In the first months of the year, the little-known Dean developed a reputation as the outspoken anti-war candidate - a sharp contrast from his more established Democratic rivals in Congress who supported military action. But the anti-war moniker only captured part of Dean's appeal to some Democrats.Edwards blocks GIs' loan break

Edwards blocks GIs' loan break

By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 1, 2003

    Sen. John Edwards, North Carolina Democrat, is single-handedly blocking Senate action on legislation all but unanimously supported by the House to ease the student-loan burden for soldiers fighting overseas.

    In April, the House voted 421-1 to pass the HEROES Act, which essentially would defer student loans for soldiers called into action. The only dissenting vote was cast accidentally by one of the bill's sponsors.

    The bill is stalled in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee under a "secret hold," said Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican and chairman of the committee.

    Senate tradition allows members to lodge secret, or "anonymous," holds against a bill and block it indefinitely.

    Supporters of the bill, the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, were mystified for months that anyone would hold up such popular legislation, but couldn't pinpoint the culprit.

    "It's frustrating when something has such overwhelming support and then it gets held up like this," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Kline, Minnesota Republican.

When and if I am on board you will know it, for that matter the demon-rats will know it too.

Question is this:

Does Bush deserve a second term? Has he showed conservative principals and has he sent the liberal agenda back, because what we are trying to do is send the democrats back to the stoneage.

If Bush has done that by the Primary he has my full support, if not I will work as hard to defeat him as I did to help get a Republican 2002 landslide.

[Reagan Man]

BUSH + CHENEY = VICTORY '04

Bingo bumpo ditto's!

[Marine Inspector]

Does Bush deserve a second term?

IMO, No. When he puts the interests of Americans over the Interests of illegal aliens from other countries, then I'll think about it.

Has he showed conservative principals and has he sent the liberal agenda back.

Again, No.

If Bush has done that by the Primary he has my full support.

Agreed.

[justshe]

Thanks for the ping!

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for posting! That is really neat!

[PhiKapMom]

Did you hear President Bush yesterday during his Tampa fundraiser? He said that Vice President Cheney was the greatest VP ever and then stopped and said something to the effect that you had better not tell my Mom I said that! I cracked up!

[paulk]

Hell, as far as I can tell Bush is a Socialist. Vote Libertarian.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Unfortunately, a libertarian vote is a vote for Hillarious or worse. We have a lousy choice: over-drive into socialism and diversity disintegration or a somewhat slower gradual strangulation of the productive citizens. They call it triangulation where the only victims are your family and mine. Propose a socialist program and Bush will steal it.

Why don't you look at the article up above.... The money is coming in and he will raise 175 - 200 million dollars during the primary season.... now that money wouldn't be there or coming in if people didn't support him. You can spin as much as you like but the money is coming in.

So if the money is coming in then that means no other candidate is going to beat him in the Republican Primary. That then means the final choices for President that can be elected in 2004 will be two: President Bush and the Democrat Candidate...... So spin your little 'showboy' act all you want but that is the situation you will be dealing with...

Read above from the article:
President Bush's campaign said Tuesday it has raised at least $34.2 million since he announced his 2004 re-election effort in May, with some checks still to be counted.

[windchime]

Bump.

[TLBSHOW]

I don't care if he has a billion dollars.

[deport]

You better if you want some one else other than President Bush to be the candidate..... The man with the money will be the candidate of the Republican Party..... whether you care or not. It just marginalizes you if you think anyone you support can win without the cash....

You have just a few months to get someone funded, name recognition nationwide, campaign organizations set up in each state, grass roots mobilized, etc, etc...... AND FUND RAISING before its sucked dry... That all takes cash, lots of it.... like it or not..

Now 'showboy' you just keep spinning. So far I don't see you supporting anyone else so that means you'll be left out in the cold..... good place for your kind.
