Dear _____, Thank you for your generous contribution. We are at a critical stage in the campaign, and our online supporters like you are making the difference. The more people we reach, the more resources we will have to help Hillary win. Send an email to your friends and family asking them to support our campaign by making a contributionat http://www.hillaryclinton.com/joinme If you have any questions about your contribution please contact us at http://www.hillaryclinton.com/help/contact/ =============================================================YOUR CONTRIBUTION RECEIPT: DATE: March 28, 2008 2:00 PM EDTNAME:(NAME AND ADDRESS REMOVED) AMOUNT: $100.00

This donation puts me over $1,000.00. Consider that when you wonder what she's still doing in this race.

[MadBadger]

1. Like Mitt Romney, your's too will be a wasted investment.

[Unsane]

3. yessums

[aquarius dawning]

9. No it wasn't..

and Mitt will probably be vice President for his investment.

[goletian]

133. lol, you think mccain > obama. speaks volumes.

keep throwin your money at clinton, she will win. lol.

[JoFerret]

23. Why are you mocking Obama?

.

[MadBadger]

31. Why are you following me around asking the same question that I have previously answered?

Stalk much?

[JoFerret]

46. It's the ridicule I note.

Not the ridiculer.

Mock much?

[MadBadger]

50. Whatever you Say...

[aquarius dawning]

51. It makes me feel good so it isn't a waste

and Mitt's investment may very well pan out into a vice presidency slot.

[Maddy McCall]

70. And it helps a DEMOCRATIC candidate.

You should NEVER feel bad about that.

[CreekDog]

120. Nothing wrong with feeling good about supporting a cause

but your good feeling seems to be more about taunting others who support someone else.

[aquarius dawning]

138. It isn't taunting, it's sending a message.

and the message is pretty clear I think.

[Maddy McCall]

69. No it's not. That's really a shitty thing to say to anyone who donates to a Dem candidate.

[aquarius dawning]

98. It's OK. I expected no less. They all miss the point anyways and that's fine with me.

[Arkansas Granny]

83. That's a matter of opinion. I don't consider the money I sent to Hillary as being wasted.

It was used for her to run a campaign for President. If she doesn't win I'll be disappointed, but I won't consider my money wasted.

[knight_of_the_star]

89. Fail

[JuniperLea]

103. Do you sit up nights practicing vile?

I swear I have yet to see one single post of yours that was NOT flame bait! You are either twisting a knife or pouring salt into a wound or just spewing out and out flame bait.

What are you going to do with all that hate after the primaries?

[MadBadger]

117. you should pay attention more often than.

[JuniperLea]

140. No thanks...

I generally skip over your posts anyway, round about the first insult you hurl.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

2. that went straight into her pocket to pay off her own campaign debt

I'd stop that charge if I were you.

[Whisp]

27. we'll see if she spends any of it on expensive ads in PA

or whether she's just running this out for some ca-ching and then step out when the red looks a bit better to her.

I wouldn't put it past her for a second not to screw her supporters.

[Justitia]

43. Nah, she used it to pick up the check for lunch w/SCAIFE. -eom

[JuniperLea]

104. so what if that's true?

why are you angry about a Democrat getting support?

[cui bono]

115. Well I'm flabbergasted that anyone would support the person that is tearing

the Dem party apart for her own personal ambitions. Supporting someone who is ruining a sure thing with her Rovian tactics. That's certainly enough to make anyone angry. I'm certainly angry at Clinton. Her supporters simply amaze me.

Do you not see that side of it? How people can be upset at perpetuating the machine that is destroying the party and its chances at winning the presidency when it is of utmost importance that a Dem get in the oval office this time around?

Again, I'll make my disclaimer.... I'm not an Obama supporter, but I much prefer him over Clinton.

[JuniperLea]

139. That "tearing the party apart" meme is bullshit

The party is NOT being torn apart, #1, and number 2, if anyone is doing any harm to the party, its the whiners.

I don't support either of them, but will vote for whomever gets the nomination.

And people are forgetting an important part of the primary process. It's a very recent developement that a nominee is chosen BEFORE the convention. The convention is historically where we learn who the nominee is.

[cui bono]

147. I hope you're right.

I keep hearing about the Obama/Clinton supporters who say they won't vote Dem unless their candidate is the nominee. I keep telling myself, okay, those are just the die hards whining about losing and that when it comes time for the GE they will come to their senses, and that they are a small percentage of the amount of people who will vote in the general.

Also though, this year we really need to have a nominee before the convention or McCain will continue to get a free ride. At least in the last couple days both Obama and Clinton have managed to criticize McCain, let's hope they keep it up and leave each other alone.

[Coexist]

4. I donated to Edwards (again) the day before he dropped out.

what difference does that make? None.

What an odd post.

[Arkansas Granny]

84. I did too, and I didn't consider that money wasted either.

[JerseygirlCT]

5. Honestly?

I'd say that's a less than gracious response to a generous donation from someone who's now given more than 1k.

"Gee thanks, and now can you go get some more?"

Your business, of course, but I think her people ought to work on their fundraising and people skills a bit. (A hint: they're exactly the same thing).

[peace13]

12. I see that a lot now.

I'm a Kucinich nut. Gave to both races this year even though I don't live in his district. His requests for money continue to come and they are beginning to get on my nerves. Peace, Kim

[JerseygirlCT]

26. There's an art to really ensuring that the person

feels both acknowledged and that his/her gift will do something good. And then you can jump off to more good to be done.

But this was just wham, bam, thank you m'am.

[peace13]

6. No matter how it turns out.

You can't say that you didn't do your best. peace, Kim

[Mooney]

7. I am now thoroughly demoralized.

Obama must drop out.

[Jed Dilligan]

8. And?

You must have had something meaningful in your head when you decided to post.

[aquarius dawning]

13. And nothing. I just wanted to share that with you.

[Jed Dilligan]

61. Whoopee. You wasted money.

Why does everyone think their individual votes and contributions are so damn significant?

Yeah, Hillary's still campaigning because you sent a hundred bucks. Right.

[susankh4]

10. Thanks for making that donation!

I appreciate your willingness to support her! Even when she's down a bit.

Brava!

[AllentownJake]

41. A bit?

Maybe a mega bit.

[susankh4]

52. In your fantasies...

the popular vote is incredibly close. Even Howard dean said, today, that the "loser" of this contest will have 49.8% of the popular vote.

[AllentownJake]

56. Last time I checked

Delegates vote at the convention and we are more than a bit ahead there...a bit would be 50.......I could be wrong though...have the rules been amended since yesterday.

[catnhatnh]

11. Mail her $1 million....

then maybe we'll feel REAL bad....

[XemaSab]

14. Your albatross better take cover

There's snipers in the hills. :scared:

[aquarius dawning]

17. You're the first person to recognize the new official bird of the Democratic party.

congratulations. You win an albatross to hang around your neck. :applause:

[walldude]

15. So..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Debi]

That's awesome! Will that $$ go to paying her debts still left in Iowa?

Or her unpaid health insurance for her staff?

Or the unpaid debts to small school districts/YMCA/YWCA/Boys and Girls Clubs?

Or the unpaid debts to caterers or small food vendors?

the list goes on and on and on and on and on :crazy:

But thanks from Iowa. I hope the National Cattle Congress (the county fairgrounds) or the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (on the UNI campus) gets their bills paid here in my area of Iowa. I hate to see our local vendors cheated by political campaigns.

:hi:

(Just think only 890,000 contributions like yours and her past debts can get paid - of course that doesn't help her in her current deficit spending, but I know you'll keep trying!)

[aquarius dawning]

24. No, it will go to finance the battle in Pennsylvania I suspect.

[Debi]

32. So here's to MORE deficit spending from the Clinton campaign!

:toast:

Ignore the debt, ignore unpaid staff, ignore small vendors and those who rely on every dollar coming in!


:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

38. And a new yellow pantsuit

Where she will stuff the interest in her pocket.

[Debi]

65. I just want her Iowa debt paid (yeah, I'm partial)

Our local candidates will get screwed b/c a campaign before them didn't pay their bills. It's not right that a county supervisor candidate or state senate candidate has to come up with deposit $$ because Hillary Clinton stiffed the vendor for a couple thousand bucks. :eyes:

[apocalypsehow]

16. Hmmm.

"A fool and his money are soon parted."

[DesertFlower]

18. that's very generous of you.

i'm an obama supporter, but you have every right to support the candidate of your choice.

[Raejeanowl]

You Win The Thread Award

Of being a decent Obama supporter who had nothing juvenile or snarky to say about the OP. Bless you.

[DesertFlower]

127. thank you. nt

[Hutzpa]

19. Hey! I running for congress,

since you have plenty to give, would you donate $100 to
my campaign as Congressman...I swear on my dead friends
grave I'll give it back to you.

Just call me and state your name to my assistant, k

heres the e-mail;

[e-mail]

[tabasco]

20. Clinton unfavorable: 48%. Obama unfavorable: 32%.

Latest NBC / Wall Street Journal poll.

http://www.pollingreport.com/C2.htm#Hillary

All the money in the world isn't going to flip those numbers.

Americans know a lemon when they see one.

[40ozDonkey]

59. To everything - spin, spin, spin...

... it defies reason - spin, spin, spin.

According the website you linked, Hillary showed 41% unfavorable at the most recent polling dates (3/15-3/18)

Obama shows a 33% unfavorable on the most recent polling dates (3/14-3/16)

What tea leaves did you pull your numbers from?

[tabasco]

77. What's 21 plus 27? In the world in which I live, it adds up to 48%

March 24-25 NBC/WSJ Poll.

Hillary Clinton:
Somewhat negative = 21%
Very negative = 27%

Reading ability required.

You were saying something about spin?

[cali]

21. pathetic

whatever your sad little point is.

[BL611]

22. Good for you supporting you're candidate.

You've inspired me to the same for mine. Another $100 for Sen. Obama.

[Firespirit]

25. I'm glad you are doing well enough to give $1000 to a dying campaign

Many are not so fortunate.

[VolcanoJen]

28. Good for you, aquarius.

Everyone should support the candidate of their choice in whichever manner they see fit, and which they find satisfying.

[my3boyz]

29. It is a shame you continue to waste your money like that. However, it is YOUR money! nt

[Johnny__Motown]

30. you are proud of the damage you are causing to the democratic party?

sad

[aquarius dawning]

40. Hey, Obama can drop out any time and spare the party this needless damage.

[AllentownJake]

45. Right

The guy that's winning the race is the one to drop out. Just in case you haven't figure it out Delegate scorecards aren't like golf.

[aquarius dawning]

47. He's only winning so long as you can silence the voices of a few million voters.

I find that detestable and it's the primary reason why I can't get all warm and fuzzy over him.

[AllentownJake]

53. Rules be Rules

We didn't write them Terry did and we are still winning than too.

How can you lose when your team even wrote the rules....you guys can't run a primary campaign think we'll trust you with one in the GE.

[Johnny__Motown]

75. No, even with Florida and Michigan Obama is ahead in Pledged delegates, to bad you need to lie to

have any hope at all of defending your sniper dodging candidate

[Maddy McCall]

71. Howard Dean disagrees with you.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/28/dean.democrats/

[helderheid]

33. why is this for me?

:shrug:

You seem pleased with yourself so... good on ya!

[JimGinPA]

34. I Have A Lot More Respect For Her Supporters That Donate & Volunteer...

Than for the many of the posters here at DU whose only contribution is slamming Obama. My hope is that you'll eventually come to support our nominee if it isn't her.

[DesertFlower]

57. i agree.

i don't see why we have to bash the candidate's supporters.

[blogslut]

35. You still got $1400 to go

Maybe you should look in the couch cushions.

I do so love people that flaunt their expenditures. Make me feel all fuzzy and warm.

[Justitia]

36. LOL - I didn't see your name on her extortion letter, so I'm guessing you aren't a flea fart to her.

But hey, it's your dough, knock yourself out.

[donheld]

37. Oh noes

What ever will we do?

[Coexist]

39. Uh- Oh!! Now you've done it!!!

[donheld]

42. Oh boy, you gave here a hundred big ones

That will without doubt save the day. We Obama people
are going to tremble for a while over in the corner.

[peace13]

48. When you support a candidate it does feel good to be able to help.

That doesn't take away from anyone else. Be kind...

[Hepburn]

44. Sucker. n/t

[GumboYaYa]

49. So she is only $8,999,900 in debt now....way to go!!

[aquarius dawning]

54. OK, show me some evidence to support this statement.

[40ozDonkey]

64. FEC report for the Clinton campaign...

...is here: http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M2/C00431569.html

The good news is, that poster is off the mark.
The bad news is, not by much.

Have a good one.

[Debi]

67. That report was for January - here's February's

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M3/C00431569.html

The $8,733,609.11 in debt does not include the $5,000,000 Clinton loaned her campaign.


(and this report doesn't include the debt she's incurred through March :crazy:)

[40ozDonkey]

76. Oops, have to update my bookmarks.

Thanks for the catch.

[Debi]

81. I made the same mistake while waiting for the reportings to come in

:hi:

Now I'm waiting for April 20th to get here.

[Debi]

68. Here you go

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M3/C00431569.html

And specifically here's the link to her current and PAST DUE debts

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/M3/C00431569/D_DEBTS_C00431569.html


All $8,733,609.11 of them - not including the $5,000,000 she loaned her campaign.

[aquarius dawning]

87. the same site has her with about $33 million on hand. Incidentally, it also shows Obama owing money.

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P00003392

http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003338

Looks to me like you're full of shit. like Obama.

[Debi]

91. Obama owes $625,000 in current debt

less than 10% of Clinton's debts (and has more than enough COH to pay those debts off) - but you can call that full of shit if you wish.

As for Clinton's $33 million COH you do realize that she can't touch the majority of that b/c it is earmarked for the General Election??

Here's just one link to that information: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/clintons-february-fec-filings/

<snip>

After spending about $31 million in her efforts to keep up with Senator Barack Obama, Mrs. Clinton finished February with more than $33 million in cash on hand, but $21.5 million of that is earmarked exclusively for the general election, leaving her with $11.7 million for the primary.

Mrs. Clinton, however, loaned her campaign $5 million earlier this year and she listed $8.7 million in debts to various vendors, making clear why she has not yet paid herself back from her loan.

By way of comparison, Senator Barack Obama, her Democratic opponent, brought in $55 million in February, a record-setting sum, and spent about $43 million, leaving him with $31.6 million in cash on hand available for the primary and $7.3 million set aside for the general. He also did a much better job paying his bills, listing just $625,000 in outstanding debts

<snip>

++++

Isn't READING fun??? :hi:

Now let's try math

She has $11,700,000.00 in COH - BUT
she has $ 8,700,000.00 in debt - equalling $3,000,000 for use in the primary - BUT WAIT
she has $ 5,000,000.00 loan owed to her - which means she is $2,000,000.00 in debt IF she actually chooses to pay her bills

[aquarius dawning]

96. It's some kind of weird math magic...anyway you add it up, your first post always equals bullshit.

[Debi]

99. If that makes you feel better! - my first post being link to the Federal Election Commission report

:hi: Yeah, bunch of bullshit there!

[aquarius dawning]

113. A.) You neglected to mention the $33 million she has on hand to cover the $8 million in debt

B.)you neglected to mention Obama's own debt. C.)even after you account for the $21.5 million ear marked for the general election, she still has $11.7 million to cover the debts to others and to herself which means she is not anywhere near $8 million in debt and, which also means, you are full of fucking shit.

[Debi]

116. 11 minus 8 minus 5 equals negative 2

she can't use general election funds to pay primary expenses.

[aquarius dawning]

122. negative 2 doesn't equal negative 8, does it? What's more, who are you to say that she will pay

herself back before her other creditors? furthermore, she still has money rolling in and there is still a hell of a lot of time left between now and then.

[GumboYaYa]

82. Ooops I exaggerated by a couple hundred thousand dollars...I am prone to that.

Have I ever told you about the time I was on a trip to Bosnia...bullets were flying...it was a war zone....we had to run for our lives?

You can't trust someone who exaggerates like that....no way!

[aquarius dawning]

85. I can't trust someone who spent the past 20 years listening to anAmerican hating bigot.

I've never known a politician who didn't exagerate though.

[Debi]

93. Well, that leaves out any of the DU posters who insist on using

Drudge, Hannity, Limbaugh as a source. (and those who think praising the GOP nominee is AOK :thumbsup:)

[Debi]

92. *snark*

:rofl:

[BlueIdaho]

55. 100 a month so

Bill and Hillary can ride in limos - stay in four star hotels - eat in fancy restaurants and get $500 hair cuts - now that's money well spent! I hope your kids still have enough to eat.

[tammywammy]

58. And I just donated to Obama

:shrug:

[Bigleaf]

60. On behalf of the Clinton Campaign: Thank You, with your donation, we are now 8,999,900 in the RED.

We noticed that you have not reached your maximum contribution level. Please consider sending us the balance. It would go a long, well, anyhow, it will help us in some small way inch toward getting out of debt.

Thanks Again,

Team Clinton


:evilgrin: :sarcasm:

[Debi]

74. To be fair - the campaign was only $8,733,609.11 in debt before the contribution

x(

[Bigleaf]

80. Shit, you'd think the campaign would be more accurate with their figures when e-mailing donors.

:P

[polichick]

62. It's probably not a good investment at this point. nt

[adoraz]

63. lol, people are still contributing to Hillary?

even on DU where they should know better? Don't people understand this thing is over, and it is a complete waste of money to donate to Hillary?

[mckeown1128]

66. Good job... You brought her just a little closer to repaying her

loan... soon she will no longer be in the red... and she can drop out. Thanks.

[BootinUp]

72. This is the kind of thread

that makes it easy to separate the reasonable folks from the assholes, lol.

[Arkansas Granny]

88. Isn't that the truth.

[adoraz]

131. not really, more like Hillary and Obama folks

the OP was setting him/herself up by saying "hey Obama fans guess what i just did!".

[Pisces]

73. You should have burned it in the fireplace.

[stillrockin]

78. There's one born every minute.

[Oreo]

79. Mark Penn thanks you

You just paid for about 10 minutes of his time for the campaign

[gal]

86. New Flac Vest

Maybe she can put it toward a new flac vest in case those snipers come back!

[aquarius dawning]

90. A.) you spelled flak vest wrong. B.) A Flak vest won't stop bullets. C.)all politicians exaggerate

but not all politicians have spent the past 20 years attending the church services of an America hating bigot. I'll take embellishment over America bashing and bigotry any day.

[Debi]

94. Is that Clinton's new excuse? Everybody does it? So she's no longer sleep deprived

and she no long speaks a million words a day?

[aquarius dawning]

95. I don't speak for her. You would have to ask her that.

[Debi]

97. And yet you had no problem doing so in your previous post.

:crazy:

[aquarius dawning]

106. I'm just a guy in front of a computer. I speak only for myself. I've never even suggested otherwise

I have even, on occasion, posted a disclaimer stating that the views of aquariius dawning do not necessarily reflect the views of Hillary Clinton. As such, I don't know what you're taking about Debi.

[Debi]

108. If it makes you feel better, you say whatever you want when you want

and deny posting the obvious :hi:

[aquarius dawning]

124. I still don't even know what you're talking about here Debi.

[Froward69]

100. Straight to her

swiss bank account... then to be converted to euros. once mcain wins (as per her efforts) it will prove to be a good investment on Hillary's part. yours not so much.

[aquarius dawning]

101. It's only a hundred bucks. Who cares?

[Froward69]

119. or 50 euros..

or 50 pounds

thats 50 dollars you may need for a loaf of bread...

[aquarius dawning]

125. That's OK, I'm invested heavily in gold.

[aquarius dawning]

102. and off to the land of the greatest hits with you.

[zulchzulu]

105. Good for you

Support your candidate any way you can.

:hi:

[against all enemies]

107. She'll spend it on ads that attack Obama instead of McCain. Too bad.

[msallied]

109. And the fool and his money soon parted...

[progressoid]

110. Huh? Are we in grammar school?

Look how big my donation is. Nya nya nya!

[cui bono]

118. Yeah, and also attempting to taunt Obama supporters.

And, imho, proving that they have no problem with having the party go down in flames and getting McCain as president since it's clearly a lost cause. Even if she gets the nomination she will have gotten it through duplicitous and unethical means.

[aquarius dawning]

126. yeah, we must not taunt the Obama supporters because we don't want to sink to their level.

fuck it, sure we do.

[gateley]

111. You are to be commended for supporting your candidate. Period. nt

[aquarius dawning]

136. and thank you as well.

[cui bono]

112. What is it about here that you still support and admire?

Serious question.

[aquarius dawning]

121. I'll be honest since you seem polite. I pretty much hate all politicians

I can't think of a single one (that's still living) that I really like in fact. I have come to the conclusion that, due to the inherantly flawed nature of our democracy, all elections will, forever more, be a choice between the lesser of two evils with the choice becoming less and less clear as time passes. That being said, it isn't that I really like Hillary more than Obama, it's that I dislike her less than I dislike him. I'll be even more honest with you, I'm not so sure that Barack's dovish stance is appropriate at this moment in American history. At the same time, McCain's hawkish stance may be a bit much. Hillary is right in the middle which is what I believe is most appropriate for America right now in general.

[cui bono]

146. I agree with your lesser of two evils assessment, I feel that's my choice this time.

But I'm surprised that Clinton's tactics haven't turned off all of her supporters. Does that bother you at all? Because I've never trusted her, and probably sort of disliked her, but by this point, after her campaign, I loathe her. Especially since she's tearing down a candidate that is inspiring thousands of new, young voters to get involved, even though I think he's pretty much the same thing as her in a lot of ways as far as records and policy stances.

Either way, I'll vote for whoever the Dem candidate is, because they're both a lot better than McCain, and the Supreme Court composition is too important to jeopardize at this time.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

[Taxmyth]

129. Most excellent

Let's make it viral.

[Taxmyth]

128. She belongs in this race, it's no where near over yet

And she needs contributions. I've seen you get a lot of shit on here for donating to a Democratic Party candidate and that is the act you should be remembered for. So, in honor of all the idiots who have criticized you for what was an act the Democratic Party as a whole appreciates, I am contributing $50 to Hillary myself.

This is my fifth contribution to Senator Clinton...With more to come...I dearly love all three Clintons and we badly need Hillary to clean up the mess...Isn't it strange that every time Hillary outlines a plan to fix health care, the economy, etc.., Old Barry Hussein Obam repeats it on some news channel the next day and takes credit for it...I'm documenting his lies..Too many to count...I no longer care about the Dem party; I want Hillary in the White House, and if she is robbed of the nomination, I will have three choices...I could not vote for BHO if you held a gun to my head, and will have to choose between McCain, Nader or writing in Hillary's name on the ballot along with the reason why I've done that...Then when our once-great nation dies, I will surely know who to blame...I'm 82, and I never miss an election...The first time I was old enough to vote, I had the pleasure and privilege of voting for Harry S Truman...I've never seen a campaign in all these years that included a creature as bad, as cruel, as mean-spirited, as dishonest, as ignorant and just plain stupid as the Chicago prophet who is going to fix everything including the kitchen sink with hope and change...

134. I heard that loud and clear.

:patriot:

[Arugula Latte]

132. Well, goody goody gumdrops.

So what? :shrug: Lots of people have donated to both candidates.

137. If you want to throw money away, you could always send it to me....

I have debt I'm trying to pay off as well.

[SoCalDem]

141. It's your money..spend it any way you want to..

The thing that always gets me is this..

Millionaires run for office, and they have not-so-well-off send them money so they don't have to "waste" their own money..

at least guys like Bloomberg & Romney put up their own money:)

[TomBall Democrat]

144. she did also - because she mismanaged the money

the rank and file sent her.

[aquarius dawning]

149. I don't know about that. She's still in it after all..

[TomBall Democrat]

142. Whenever a HRC supporter gets snarky, rather than stew

I send Obama more $$.

Works well for me.

The only problem is that I'm getting close to the individual limit - well above a grand.

[aquarius dawning]

143. send it to him then. I don't care in the least.

[TomBall Democrat]

145. how many of your snarky little pals did you have to

muddy up to get this recommended.

go play in the little pool, folks.

the grown ups are talking now.

[aquarius dawning]

148. It sounds like that really burns your ass. I'm glad.

[bigtree]

150. thanks for your support

you, and 11 million plus voters like you, do indeed represent the reason she's continuing.

[aquarius dawning]

152. thank you and you're welcome.

[theredpen]

151. So... she's in this race because people will give her money?

'Cause she's sure as hell not getting the nomination.

[aquarius dawning]

153. Not quite. more like, she's in this race because people are still giving her money

However, the questions you should be asking are, why are people still giving her money and what are the possible implicaions of that?

[theredpen]

154. Why do people give money to Joel Osteen?

Because they're complete imbeciles.

There's no reason to dig deep into the question of why certain celebrities can get Americans to give them money.

Edit: That said, the only red flag is when people won't give you money.

2nd Edit: Even better example: people are still giving Ron Paul money.

[krawhitham]

155. I see you enjoy pissing money away

156. What a great thread!

The OP announced his participation in Democracy and tempted folks to attack him. And they did in droves, in one thread I was able to clean my computer screen of so much trash. Great!
