Kerry runs high-tech campaign
THE GUARDIAN , WASHINGTON
Friday, Jul 23, 2004,Page 6

The Democratic challenger for the White House, Senator John Kerry, has raised more money in the last six months than US President George W. Bush, with his party embracing the Internet to help it cancel out what is a traditional Republican advantage.

Kerry raised more than US$160 million, according to figures from the federal election commission, compared with US$95 million for Bush.

The Republicans still have the overall advantage -- and spokesmen claimed Bush stopped "focusing on" fundraising last April -- but even so, Kerry has been raising money at an unprecedented pace.

3. He was fundraising during the height of the killing in Afghanistan
and Iraq! As I said then, why doesn't/didn't Dean/Kerry/Edwards announce they're 'never fund raise or vacation while American soldiers were dying overseas.' This just seems so common sense but no adviser has told Kerry to do this! It would have shown how incompentent aWol is! Isn't working hard day and night what a President should do to save just 1 American soldier?

I just couldn't believe we'd read in the morning 5 soldiers just killed and then see aWol, Lice, Rumsfuk, Wolfozit... come walking out on the lawn smiling and waving and making jokes! And this went on daily for months and months!

Where are the Democratic advisors with common sense?
