Fundraising...is this legal? Novakula just reported on CNN. This morning
Dumbya was in a private house in Georgetown with 100 "invited guests" for an hour...the price of admission, $25,000 a head.

6. I think something should be done about campaigning on...
the public dime. I think Bush should have to pay from his "war chest" any cost associated with his reelection campaign. How is it fair that the democratic candidate has to not only pay for advertisements, but for staff and travel and ect. Bush has the taxpayers to pay for all of his expenses. Seriously there is something terribly wrong with the system.

7. Bill Clinton
I loved Bill, but unfortunately it was his White House "coffees" that started this end run around the election laws. They give to the party with Bush as an invited "guest" -- it's wrong - but we don't have a lot of room to complain.
