Obama vs. Hillary on supporting the Democratic Party
Engaging in divisive politics and threatening to withhold money from the Democratic Party is not supporting the party.

This is supporting the party

A vacation in the Carribbean with Bob Johnson, who is not member of Congress, but who signed the letter threatening Pelosi is not supporting the party.

Helping Democrats to get elected is supporting the party


Any questions?

1. Uh, hello!
Not all super delegates are members of Congress and yet they give the most money to the DNC. Not only that, Robert Johnson just sent Pelosi another $100.000 for the DNC just because she asked him to and that was after he signed the letter to her. You really ought to research better.

2. Uh, hello!
Is there a situation where PAC money (that is supporting the Democratic Party) goes to non members of Congress, excluding support for specific causes?

3. Uh hello again !!
Could you please post the link that states Robert Johnson actually sent Pelosi that $100,000 for the DNC? Last few articles I read as of early this morning said he hadn't made a decision on sending it yet? Thanks and Peace.

8. Okay you've had enough time ...... you stated ......
"Robert Johnson just sent Pelosi another $100.000 for the DNC just because she asked him to and that was after he signed the letter to her.

I call BULLSHIT. If you got this information from the Fox interview yesterday ... Robert Johnson stated at the end of the interview that he hadn't made that decision at this time !!!!

link here watch the interview ...... the very last part. I rest my case.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,342809,00.html

NO the Check isn't in the mail ...... maybe it will be ..... but you lied ..... talk about needing to check your research and facts on things ... geesh. Still waiting for your link ??? Oh I get it you just 'mis-spoke' ;)

4. I think Obama could nail this
by simply sending a urgent plea that all of his donors (1 million +) send $10 to $25 to the DNC or the DCCC and LABEL IT as a donation from an Obama supporter.

$20... from 1.2 million individuals, more money in ONE month than those assholes that signed the letter donated in the last 9 YEARS. Game over. No more threats. True party building. A *lot* of congress critters (who are also SUPER DELEGATES) will have to acknowledge where their new campaign funding came from ( but no strings! ). Lots of good will from the party regulars toward Obama and his supporters.

Besides, it can't hurt. And it's only $20.

6. Nice work ProSense ......
still waiting for my answer in this thread to my post #2 up there .... don't think I'll get it though. As of 3:15 p.m. west coast time ...... I haven't had any indication that Robert Johnson has sent that $100,000 check in to the DNC. The letter of request sits on his desk as we speak .... he stated so ..... but hadn't made up his mind on it ..... so ????? Think someone in this thread needs to either prove their claim ...... or be better at their own research. Ya know eat their own words. ;)

K&R to your OP. Peace. :thumbsup:
