Bush meets with elite GOP donors

[CatWoman]

Feb. 4, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) --

For the third time in less than a month, President Bush sat down with the Republican Party's biggest donors Wednesday, thanking them for their donations -- and hoping they will open their checkbooks for him again.

Meanwhile, Bush sent his wife to Georgia to collect cash for his re-election campaign.

The president attended a private ‘‘donor maintenance" lunch with high-rolling contributors inside a historic Washington home. It was impossible to say exactly who was in the room with him, or what was said, because reporters were forced to wait outside the event while he mingled. Most of Bush's fund-raisers are open to the news media.

Dems need to find a way to make that an issue. I think it is a scandal.

6. "No Really Guys, We've Got It Under Control..."

It's not coming apart at the seams. I know it looks bad right now, just keep that cash coming though...

before he gets his ass run out of DC.

8. Bush does NOT have any DONORS

certainly not "elite" donors.

they are INVESTORS. and they make an excellent return if they keep shit_for_brains as puppet_king for the Investor_Class.

only RW Freeper idjits think they're making a 'donation' with their $5 bucks

10. We used to think bribery was paid to pols. Now it's also paid by pols...

the Bushco admin has brought bribery into the 21st century, now it's "win-win".

9. Do you think...

maybe good ole' Kenny Boy was there? Oh, that's right. Probably not. He hardly even knows him. (yeah, right)
