VP Dick "The Headsman" Cheney showed his face in Texas again - but not to shoot another person in the face. Instead, he was trying to shill money for Van Taylor in the 17th District. But the event wasn't exactly a success:
Republican donors paid $150 to $2,100 to attend the fundraiser, in which they stood while munching on roast beef, shrimp, cheese and crackers. Taylor's campaign said that 150 people bought tickets, but attendance appeared to be fewer than 100.
Yeah, but this is probably one of those districts where people had to drive for ten thousand hours to get there, right? I mean, every Republican would die for a chance to meet the Veep - after they donned appropriate headgear, right? |

Wrong:
In 2004, Cheney raised $300,000 at a seated luncheon fundraiser in Waco — attended by 400 people — for the district's GOP candidate, state Rep. Arlene Wohlgemuth.
What makes it even more telling is that Van Taylor has relied heavily on two things: his own money and his status as a war hero. In other words, he's everything Bush and Cheney have made the image of the Republican Party to be except - no one wants him. Could the veneer be peeling from the faux "majority" legislated by the Texas Republicans?
Those who are interested can donate to Chet Edwards - the Democratic Representative for President Bush - at his campaign website |
