bill from ct

[Fresh_Start]

1. He's a politician...which means he's a liar by profession

as well as naturally talented at it

5. Not quite a lie, but obviously not the entire truth. NT

[LSparkle]

6. NO -- if INDIVIDUALS want to give to him, that's their choice ...

He doesn't take money from organized PACs or lobbying groups.

Better than Hillary, who has been proudly taking money from PACs and
lobbyists (who, after all, are people too ... ).

:sarcasm: on the last bit.

[Cant trust em]

7. That quote is sadly hilarious

very thin

bill from ct

[LSK]

11. whats the point? We KNOW Hillary and McCain take money from lobbyists

So who the fuck are we supposed to vote for then???

[wrando]

13. that's up to you

Hillary hasn't said she didn't and took alot of heat for it

now McCain and Obama have been telling us lies

bill from ct

[LSK]

16. well we do know that Obama has over 1million individual donars online

Which is a record.

We also know that when people donate over $200, they must list their place of occupation.

We also know that Hillary has admitted that she takes money from lobbyists. McCain, well no duh.

So based on the 3 choices, I would still take Obama on this issue.

I would like to know where and how these guys "pledged" to raise that much money? Did they sign something?

[wrando]

17. it's about the lying

the issue isn't the money or Hillary's pant suites

the issue is lying

bill from ct

[merh]

19. bosnia sniper fire

voted to allow the government to confiscate weapons in times of emergency but is for the 2nd amendment;

is for nafta but is against it;

her husband and her closest advisor were working for the columbia trade factions but she was against it;

will get us out of iraq but will set up a "maximum security umbrella" in the region and if you mess with us, massive reliation will occur;

believes in the rights given to us by the constitution but co-sponsored a bill to criminalize the burning of the flag

i could go on, but hey - you focus on what you perceive to be lies and I'll pay attention to her's

[LSK]

20. Again, we have 3 candidates

Get some perspective.

[CreekDog]

[OzarkDem]

18. Lots of lawyer/lobbyists bundling money n/t

[Sensitivity]

22. Some OBAMA supporters WERE lobbyists? WHO IN WASHINGTON POLITICS WAS NOT at some point or knows

This is just STUPID!
