If you own the right horse.
I checked and on hole 17 you have to hit the ball through the legs of the dancing horse without it ricocheting off her hooves into the mouth of the animatronic dragon. Duh.
I believe the President just completed his 101st fundraiser, which gives him almost three times the number that W. did, and we still have months until the election.
Not just fundraisers – TOTALLY AWESOME fundraisers!
Just think – you could put three threesomes into the R’s golf outing for just one entrance to Obama’s DC soiree!
Maybe this isn’t the best topic to try to hit the R’s on if a Dem doesn’t want to appear to be hypocritical.
Now, before the complaints of ‘Oh….woe is us for the Citizens United……!!!’ please remember that this President pledged to take public financing in 2008, then reneged when he realized what an incredible fundraising advantage he was going to have, along with the media, and outside groups like MoveOn, etc.
So, please forgive me if I don’t hear sad, sad violin music playing when the Democrats are complaining about their disadvantage in fundraising. They earned it.
I expect a different level of access to my state rep than to the President of the United States. I do not expect to be able to walk in and see the President just because I’m a constituent. I do expect that from my state representative. Mine happens to be Libby Szabo, and the last time I contacted her she didn’t even bother to send a form letter response. Compare to my Democratic state senator, Evie Hudak, who responds to constituents promptly via phone, email, and even on Twitter or Facebook.
Maybe you should learn to play golf! I can show you, if you’d like.
This is a fundraiser, not the only access to these folks, right?
Most of the legislators, from both sides, are pretty available.
But maybe I’ve been unlucky in my Republicans. I have found them much more accessible at fundraisers (I was a Republican for a little while, sort of, before I was actually old enough to vote, and attended numerous events) than to their non-donor constituents. I was a constituent of Tancredo and then of Coffman before moving to CD7 and never got any response from Coffman, but had great luck talking with Tancredo…. at fundraisers. I also lived in Gerou’s district during her first term and the one time I did reach her for something, she was very rude and raised her voice. (I was polite, believe it or not, she just didn’t like what I had to say.) Szabo has yet to respond to me about anything.
I will say that Shawn Mitchell will talk to anyone about anything, any time. But that’s Shawn Mitchell, and I don’t think even the Republicans would call him representative of their delegation 🙂
