BUSH'S SHADOW REALM...JUST HIS TYPE OF SUPPORTERS

St. Petersburg Times Tallahassee Bureau Chief Lucy Morgan reports in today's edition that President Bush and Senator Mel Martinez received support from a highly secretive religious cult (my term, not hers) whose members are mainly found in the United Kingdom and Australia.

The "Thanksgiving 2004 Committee" raised money from residents in 18 states, but well over half of it's half a million dollars came from a gentleman in London, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. The committee is made up of men who are members of the Exclusive Brethern, a sect whose members shun newspapers, television, do not vote or otherwise participate in the outside world. They also avoid any relationships with people who do...even their own family members!

This committee purchased advertisments in several newspapers endorsing Bush, including a full page ad in the New York Times. The Martinez ad was a quarter page in the St. Petersburg Times.

Sounds like Dubya's kind of people...
