Poor Ticket Sales, Possible Protests Lead To Bush-McCain Fundraiser Being Scaled Back

A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center.

Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.

Bush Cheney took our country to hell ... they have no right to leave office and have normal lives .. if our laws won't stop them and hold them accountable then we the people should dog them everywhere they go until their last days on earth. Filthy traitors ... McCain is the decoy ... the right wing never intended for him to be president .. HIllary is their man ... she's the secret choice of the ruling class. Hillary is the new Bush.

[noamjunior]

good luck with that

They will probably both move to Dubai once out of office.

Of course those left wing protesters believe in free speach--as long as you say what they want to hear.

[noamjunior]

nonsense

[Soule23]

They aren't protesting free speech; they are protesting the wars.

[gcallaghan]

Surely there must be a closet big enough for these guys to holsd their secret meeting. Just check with Turdblossom or Larry Craig.

Isn't that just the funniest story!

BULLETIN: This just in.

Bush reduced to hiding in a spider hole, hides in the outskirts of Phoenix.

War hero PW Songbird McCain will meet with Bush in the dead of night. Reports of zombies roaming Phoenix by night- unconfirmed.

These two must be joined at the hip, they look like siamese twins, and they have the same dull brain, they both need medical care.

Bush has a 31% approval rating.

Its down right frightening that 31% of Americans view the giggling lying murderer with approval!!

[ajax2]

Have you listened to Nash McCabe on flag pins?

[rchwel]

I once read that Hitler had a 30ish % approval rating too ! Hitler destroyed Germany as W has the US and there are people who applaud that ? Traitors with the audacity to wear flag lapels !

Every once in a while our political system has a bowel movement. Certainly this was the case with 'w'. If McCain wins does it qualify as diarhea?

[rovezaleeker]

Where is Vicki Iseman?

McCain should have known that GW Bush cannot travel in public daylight. He must move trough the shadows of night and meet his bagmen in dark alley ways.

Bush & McCain have become the Poster Boys for the Republican Party

GOP RIP

[osage]

It is more than obvious that McCain has lost the hearts and minds of too many Republicans to have any legitimate chance of defeating Obama. At a time when Democratic voter registration is going through the roof, Republican apathy is at an all time high thanks to Mr. Bush and the innumerable failures of his shamelessly incompetent, greedily corporatized, immorally privatized and criminally politicized mercenary administration. Everyone in America needs to see John Cusack's new movie "War, Inc." to gain an understanding of the immense scale of the outright theft and fraud that the Bush adminstration has perpatrated on American taxpayers. Under this adminstration the American governement has engineered and facilitated the ripping off American taxpayers to payoff the big business political patrons that have financed their political ambitions. If Harry Truman were alive today, he'd be screaming for the imprisonment of every contractor the Bush adminstration has awarded federal contracts to since 9/11, and most, if not all, members of the Bush administration who had anything to do with the awarding of these contracts. McCain wants to perpetuate the theft and fraud of the Bush adminstration. Even Republicans are starting to see what Bush has done to our country, our values, our reputation and our economy. Even Republicans.......................................

There must be an elevator somewhere where Bush all the supporters can gather at once

[filo]

or at least a phone booth.

[ErnestineBass]

Ummm...how about that bathtub Grover Norquist keeps yapping about?

[Salome]

Maybe in Dick Cheney's man-sized safe.

[LateBloomer]

But what a great fundraising gimmick for the GOP -- give us $25,000 and the President will come mow your lawn! Of course, since most Phoenix lawns don't have grass, maybe they should offer to have Cheney come in and shoot some scorpions.

[blytzd]

Tney are already lined up to that one way elevator going straight to hell.
