People might want to donate rotten eggs and tomatoes instead of cash. Even Republicans (at least the few who have any sense)!

He'll ask Americans to donate those checks to the McCain campaign. Don't laugh people will do as he says with the help of the Media. It's been done many times before and it works every time.

But I'm really glad the GOP, and Mr. Cole are so fond of him. And they'll REALLY love him after they lose several presidential contests as a direct result of the catastrophes that occurred under Mr. Bush's "leadership," e.g. 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, the emerging economic recession, $3+/gal gasoline, the burgeoning federal debt, the falling dollar ... the list is long and space is limited. During the great depression, the Hoover "effect" was sufficient to keep Republicans out of the White House for a generation. IMHO, Bush is Hoover on steroids.

And that was WITH most of the Republican candidates attempting to keep a safe distance from Bushco in order to hold onto their seats. There are some congressional districts in this country (as well as senate seats) that will stay R because they are in very, very red territory. Everything else is up for grabs, and the Dems have the advantage. The GOP is correct to be concerned. Darn — too bad the GOP remembers what happened to them in 2006.
