I scanned page A9 of today's Columbus Dispatch.

Click the links to see this page. Each link is 1/3 of the page and is a 1.5 megabyte file.

I have spent about 5k and about 60 hours on this campaign. I used to think I did a lot. Now I think I've done too little.

[aft_lizard]

Awesome and thanks for the help, I am sure from everybody who supports Bush.

[paudio]

I pray those who have extra money will help this future Republican leader...

The entire fund?? Surely Bush thanks the support, but a $100 donation would have been nice as well. I mean don't sacrifice something that you may need later. Bush is capable of raising enough money from everybody.

If you can get a copy of the Columbus Dispatch, check out page a9

He really spent his entire college fund?

Considering how much politicians have already stolen from him, and how much they'll steal from him in the future - squandering one's future to put them back in power seems pretty damn stupid.

I just hope taxpayers don't end up supporting this pinhead via welfare.

I don't know the financial details, only what I saw in the paper. Click the links and read it for yourself.

However, I suspect this kid will be getting a ton of donations.

The kid or dad or both bought a full page ad in the first section of the Columbus Dispatch. Look at the ad, it is wonderful.

[Slump Tester]

I'm looking at A9 online, and I don't see it. Is this Monday's Dispatch?

[rmlew]

AS much as I like the enthusiasm, and wish we had a dozen motivated kids at Columbia, this kid needs to work on his prioroties.

[cyborg]

Definately. Even though Columbia is filled with libs I would not have passed up the opportunity to attend.

[Hank Rearden]

Look at the ad, it is wonderful.

It looks like the script for a Sean Hannity TelePrompTer to me.

[cyborg]

Maybe it's not so bad. Think about what lib kids waste their time doing. I would NOT have given up my college fund to help any politician period. However, I suspect that this kid will reap a nice reward two and three times over anyway.

[traviskicks]

Yea, i agree. i am pretty broke myself, but gave 2 $10 donations to the swift vets and $50 to the Bush campaign. Everybody without much money only needs to give a little, unless you can really afford it.

[staytrue]

This is why I scanned it in. It is not online, because it is a paid ad and not news.

You have to buy a hard copy or click the links

[newzjunkey]

Thanks for your efforts. Viva Bush!

The links correctly display all the pages, but are labeled wrong. They are 3 different links even though they look the same. They should have been labeled ryan1, ryan2 ryan3.

Sorry for the mistake.

Ya gotta admit, the youngster has heart and conviction.If the Republican Party had 100,000 more like him, the Demoncrats would not stand a chance in hell.That includes me, unfortunately.

A 17 year old wrote that? I have better handwriting at 24. I've been out of school for 6 years and am a computer / network technician and musician, I haven't written anything by hand other than a few love notes and shopping lists since high school graduation. I agree with the guy who said it looks like the script for a Sean Hannity teleprompter. MORE CHEESE, PLEASE!!!!!

There is hope for the future...
