Karen Hughes opens her mouth and says something strange

http://www.almartinraw.com/


I Got a Real Bad Feeling; Weekly Market Update

(July 26) I’ve been getting that b-a-a-a-d feeling. You can put this under the category of continuing signs of things to come, but you’ve got to put it all together, of course. Karen Hughes, Chair of the Bush-Cheney Reelection Committee, stated that the campaign had raised only $13 million last month. So even though their total war chest is supposedly $285 million, she said that they had raised just $13 million in June, which was half of what they had expected when they had formulated targets a year ago. The funny thing about it is that when she was asked by Aaron Brown on CNN (Aren’t you concerned about this?), she said she had a bsolutely no concern whatsoever. And it seemed genuine. She didn’t seem like she was pretending not to be concerned because then she went into this long diatribe of how they have reduced their staff at the campaign committee. They continue to close state offices. They’re not going to distribute any campaign literature, pins, buttons, and bumper stickers in selected states. They have reduced and will continue to reduce fund-raising efforts. And I thought, “How strange this is!”

13. I know
I once made the mistake of saying that the closeup picture of one eye was creepy and you yelled at me. Now I only say nice things.

I think it's the most beautiful eye I have ever seen.

2. Shrub short on campaing contributions.....
I find that hard to believe considering all the big corporations and rich folk who give large sums of money...

The difference I notice this campaign in general is the fact that Dems are united....

4. She has an amazing ability to LIE with a straight face - Tucker Carlson
can testify to that and there is a good article showing it (I'm not sure what it was in but I'm sure someone else here will know).

She is why lie detectors don't always work - she could pass saying black is white and day is night.

7. This doesn't bode well
Either she was bluffing or the fix is in thanks to Diebold and ongoing "cleansing" of the voter rolls in key states.

9. I agree with you...very strange.
That woman really scares me. Everything she says is planned. The first thought I had after reading your post is that they've figured out a foolproof way to steal this election. :eyes:

20. In addition


They can skip the Northeast and Far West (Cali) as those states will go Dem.

They are going to put 99% of their money into the 15 or so swing states. ---Or fix this puppy.

14. I don't believe her.
She would NEVER leak that if it was true. Why would they show their hand? Poker. I call 'em.

It's a lie.

15. They don't have to be concerned...she is right...they have so much
Edited on Tue Jul-27-04 01:27 PM by higher class
hidden money. I tend to think they have as many war chests as they have think tanks. Some the of money from the teachers union and the pensioneers who had their money is Enron is probably in the war chest. They are money launderers par excellance.

Why have corporations and banking off shore if you can't use it to circumvent scrutiny and the law?

19. How much money do you need to campaign when you can just cheat?
A few "accidents" on a few voter roll purges, a couple of "glitches" in voting machinery, a teensy little well placed terrAlert at just the right time...why worry about your campaign chest when you can use the money you are hiding to rig the election?
