"Just take a peak at Bush's fundraising. You don't pull in that kind of money if your base is unhappy."

Everyone I pinged are old friends of mine.
I'm sorry, old friends. I've got to disagree with you.

Look at where this money is coming from.
Agribusiness, the hotel and entertainment business, the construction industry and the textile corporations all depend on cheap labor for increased profits.
As long as GW keeps the borders open, they'll contribute to his campaign.

It's simply not true that Conservatives are happy with GW.
There is too much socialistic water under the bridge since he took office to make them satisfied.
All of this pains me greatly because I loved that man more than any President we have ever had in my lifetime.
I still respect his decision to go into Iraq, and I admire his courage in doing so.
With his domestic policies, however, I feel betrayed like so many Conservatives I talk with every day.

You may not like his base, but his base likes Bush -- and they are NOT deserting him.

That's wishful thinking of your part.

We're all dead meat, Cobby. I had high hopes too. I went to the FR Inaugural Ball because I was so hopeful.

That was then and boy was I a sucker.

Soft money donations are not allowable thanks to CFR. Bush's money is coming from individual donors who can donate up to $2000. He has raised his money with lots of small donors.

I am sorry, but I don't think that people who loved the President suddenly turned against him because of prescription drugs or the farm subsidy. Try another line of attack, because that one isn't going to fly.
