From an article by Bob Ray Sanders in last Sunday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram, "Bush fund-raising letter seeks help of old 'friend'":
It is real easy to tell when the Republican presidential campaign begins to shift to high gear.The fund-raising team, not satisfied with those hundreds of millions of dollars already in the coffers, begins to pull out that extra-long mailing list -- the one that has my name on it.
Yes, I, one of the president's most ardent critics, am apparently on several fund-raising lists for the national Republican Party, and I often get nice mementos and notes thanking me for contributions in the past and my continued support.
No wonder there are doubts about this nation's intelligence-gathering capabilities.
It works both ways. During the Clinton administration I started getting all kinds of fund raising letters asking me for donations to the Democratic Party while at the same time thanking me for my past support. Now there's no way in Hell I'd donate to the Democrats and I never have, but I keep getting them nonetheless. What can you do?
