8. How long does the Hillary minute last? oh... I forgot that there isn't one.
I'm sure she'll be just fine with her campaign in the red and all.

Time to write another check, Hilly!

14. except this wasn't an Obama campaign effort. It was an individual
supporter thing, but I see you've mastered the hillarian art of twisting the truth and bullshitting.

15. So, how do you plan to get hillary off Skid Row?
Is it that her supporters just don't care?
Or is it that they do not want to waste their money on a sure loser?

29. of course, she is rich. the question is, "why will her supporters not fund her campaign?"
Do they not want to waste money on a losing bet?

27. It could be O's first contribution to the senate!
maybe that is why he never held a meeting of his sub committee, he just wanted to 'wait a minute'

24. Considering you can't sign up anymore, it lasted a minute
It just takes some time to calculate all of the contributions and make sure that all of the donations go through.

10. It was a private citizen effort
But, don't let that stop the haters. 1/4 of a million dollars since the day started. Not bad for one guy's project.

32. I thought money in politics was a bad thing ...
"Progressives" were all about public financing a short time ago. I guess it's different if your candidate has plenty o' money. When the Pukes had all the money, it was a bad thing.

Now I understand.
