When Bush showed up (univited) to Judy Baar-Topinka's fund raiser, he referred to the Illinois gubernatorial candidate as "Judy Baar".

QUOTE
The president praised Topinka - a three-term state treasurer he referred to as "Judy Baar"

Bush said. "She's a good, fine, honest person who knows what she's doing."

Another Bush lie. He doesn't know Judy Baar-Topinka from Adam. Nobody in Illinois calls her Judy Baar. She is known as Judy Baar-Topinka or Judy Topinka.

The liar-in-Chief was lying again.

QUOTE
A political fund-raiser keynoted Friday by President George W. Bush generated $1.2 million for the campaign coffers of Republican gubernatorial candidate Judy Baar Topinka, who downplayed the possibility that she may alienate some voters in Democrat-trending Illinois by appearing with the GOP leader.


And even though Judy Baar-Topinka made it clear she did not want the chimpanzee-in-chief showing up at her fund raiser, he had to lie about it afterwords.

QUOTE
Earlier Friday, Bush brushed aside a widely reported comment made weeks ago by an unnamed Topinka campaign aide, who said the candidate would like to get presidential fund-raising help while keeping her distance from him. The aide said the Topinka camp would like the fund raising to occur quietly, "late at night," syndicated columnist George Will wrote.

"I was invited. I gladly came," Bush said during a news conference at the Museum of Science and Industry, where he fielded questions from the local and national media.

illinoisans dont like Topinka. Many of the republicans i know back home hate her. They think shes too moderate. And remember, moderates do NOT win elections. (in most cases) But Blago is a total failure (minus the new child health care which my girlfriends conservative parents were more than quick to sign up for) I still like the green party candidate for illinois govenor, Rich Whitney. However, the greens need 25,000 sigs in 12 weeks while the corporate parties need only 5000.




Also, did you know back in 2004, the illinois state government (democratic controled) actually CHANGED the laws about signatures needed to appear on the ballot after Bush missed the deadline? (it also happened in florida too!

Not to mention in many states they spent more money challenging the greens and nader than challenging the republicans!
