I went to you website--where I notice you are still asking for money. But I didn't see whether you were going to give the money you raised back or not.

You are quite the little huckster, aren't you?

[Congressman Billybob]

This reply is not for you, because your interest is neither honest nor legitimate. But for others who might read your personal attack, like most politicians who are not bought off I have spent more of my own money than what I have received from even the largest outside contributor.

And it will cost much more than that for a legitimate campaign in 2006. I don't resent that. Or fear that. But I do resent ankle-biters who speak from malice and ignorance.
