Ron, You continue to cite the fact that Gore was replaced by a Republican senator in the state of Tennessee and give credence to this event as being some great revelation for all Americans to pay heed. Ron are you implying that only the people in Tennessee should be allowed to vote in General Elections? Let me remind your feeble mind that Gore wasn't running for re-election, so for you to slam Gore over this event is stretching the facts. To point out the stupidity of your incessant ranting about this Senate race, let me remind you that in the early 1990's one George H.W.Bush was running for RE-ELECTION for President of the United States of America. So Mr. VI would you juxtapose the results of this election against the Senate race in Tennessee and tell me who won the race between George H.W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton? And Ron, it was good to see you finally admit that Bush is dumb. But for the backbone part...you are right again... A yellow backbone and only recently a "coke nose" and a gullet for swigging the booze. Yep! Old Shrub has some unique body parts. And Ron, I'm sure the Republican's want to give up soft money funding in political races as opposed to Democrats........... GOP fund raising hits $200 million September 20, 2000 Web posted at: 6:03 PM EDT (2203 GMT) By Jonathan D. Salant/Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican National Committee smashed through the $200 million fund-raising mark and entered September with $63 million in the bank, establishing a huge financial advantage over the Democrats. The Republicans' balance at the beginning of the month was almost as much as the $67.6 million in public funds that the presidential nominees each received to run their fall campaigns. "It is a virtual doubling of a campaign's advertising budget," former Republican chairman Richard Bond said Wednesday. Party officials said they raised $29.3 million last month, $21.5 million of that within federal limits that mean the money can be used to directly aid Republican candidates. Since Jan. 1, 1999, the Republican National Committee has raised around $210 million in all.
