If Everything is Hunky Dory--Why Need so MUCH Money?
With no primary to slog through, majorities in House and senate, why does the Fearless Leader need $250,000,000 to get re-elected? Why does Iraq cost so much? Is it the baksheesh? How about making Halliburton pay some taxes on the loot they get out of this deal? And why on earth are US military kidnapping civilians, wives and children, and holding them hostage to extort surrender of Iraqis that they think are guilty of unspecified charges?

Inquiring mind wishes to know when Reality will return.

1. He plans to use all that money
to attempt to obliterate our nominee as soon as it's clear who that will be.

2. A Quarter Of A Billion Is Cheap
Considering he wants to rape and plunder the US for every last nickel for his family and friends.

3. Reminds me of the question:
"If Barbie(tm) is so popular, how come you have to buy her friends?"

5. I also was thinking about this,
One, I think it is the record he wants, I raise more than anyone. If he is given money he is loved. And two. He gets to dish it out to the people he wants to control. It puts people in his pocket if he controls the money in the party.

6. he wants to monopolize the airwaves
afterall, there are only so many 30 second soundbyte commercials available.

just more brainwashing of the american public. since they already have the media in their pockets, this should be a piece of cake.

i'm not giving up, though.
