This really bothers me - Hillary's hoodwinking re $3.5 milloin donated after PA

[Rosa Luxemburg]

I can't believe people like MSN are running with this crap about Hillary raising $3.5 million after PA who are they trying to kid. She's is IN DEBT. Why do they persist in publishing half truths.

1. she's in debt all right

so the thinking is, let's put these bills aside and use the money in Indiana.

[Saturday]

2. I heard she raised 10 not 3.5. nt

[BlooInBloo]

3. It started off with Clinton supporters flat-out lying, and saying they took in $10 million....

.... At least they're to the half-truth area now. Maybe one day they'll be interested in ALL of the truth. I'm not holding my breath though.

[ej510]

4. Az radio station is reporting 2.9 million.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Oy. Now I question if they took in a cent.

[Adelante]

7. It's not true? $10M?

I must have missed something. I'm sure I read $10M.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Of course you did. They lied. As usual...

.... Just like they lie about Clinton being up in the "popular vote".

[Adelante]

12. What's the story?

Do you know details? Or can you direct me to a link? Thanks.

[Andy823]

25. I heard

That now they are saying the "expect" to make around 10 million in the coming days. For some reason honest just doesn't seem to be a part of the Clinton camp!

[Yael]

16. Enron Accounting

They *think* they will be *able* to raise 10mm.

Just like Enron marked-to-market future *expected* profits as if the money had already been made.

She will go down in flames on this just like they did.

Lying sack.

[bhikkhu]

26. Their calculator broke awhile back. Explains alot.

[Frustratedlady]

14. CNN said 10M on Blitzer's show tonight

I couldn't figure it out, either.

[Ice-9]

21. It doesn't mean anything unless she breaks it down.

If she gets $10 million in 24 hours from individual donations, that's truly impressive. But for all we know, she'll get $100K in individual donations, loan her campaign another $9.9 million, and claim she raised $10 million. Since she and Bill Clinton are worth over $100 million, either scenario is possible.

[azmouse]

5. People gave of their own free will.

Don't worry about it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. the poor souls

[thunder rising]

6. $10M from 50K people ... $200 each ... that's a rich crowd.

[yourguide]

11. Obama had 55,000 donors in the last 24 hours...

I suspect McAuliffe was estimating for the day and still came up short.

[galaxy21]

15. that is the worst picture of hillary ever

[yourguide]

20. Yup, it's why I have it up.

Because she has been the worst.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. poor Hillary

she looks awful

[Rosa Luxemburg]

27. yes

[AtomicKitten]

10. The MSM knows the magnitude of her debt, they just choose to parrot her bullshit.

[Medusa]

13. There is no proof that this is true

it's just psy-ops to get the dumb to donate to her campaign.

[C_U_L8R]

17. At a certain point, unpaid debt equals illegal contribution

Hillary has been floating her debt..
like the $4 million she owes Mark Penn,
and the FEC will be coming down soon if she doesn't start paying her bills.
What she's doing isn't legal.

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday if I can haz cheezburgr today"

[rainbow4321]

19. Which is what I was saying when she at one point had IOUs for $500,000

to her health insurance companies' monthly premiums (Aetna and BCBS)---nice way to indirectly take money from the health care industry, just get away with not paying the monthly premiums.

I see she chose to pay them this time around. But only after bunches of Internet articles/blogs starting reporting about the hypocrisy of a candidate insisting that her plan would mandate premiums to be taken out of people's paychecks and yet being behind in premium payments herself!

[bhikkhu]

28. One reason I don't think she can make it to the next FEC report.

I would guess she is taking her last opportunity to raise funds and straighten out debts, and then will be out.

Look to see how hard she really campaigns in the next two weeks - is she going all out, as she must if she still really plans on winning, or is she conserving funds and shutting down expenses, as she must to close down the losing campaign in anything other than fiscal disgrace?

[Raine]

18. That doesn't even cover by a third her debt

she's going to have to probably bring in 20 million to pay her debt plus interest and have anything left for campaign.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. Hillary on a Shoestring!!!

why is MSM covering for her

[pdxmom]

29. It's worse than that. They are trumpeting that they have brought in

$10M in the 24 hours since the PA primary. But this article puts the lie to it:

http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/24473/show_us_some_real_money_hillary

"An email from Terry McAuliffe, Clinton campaign chairman, that I received three hours ago, says "More than 50,000 people have contributed to the campaign for the very first time in the last 24 hours alone." If 80% of Clinton's donations are from new givers, that implies a total number of about 60,000 donations. If we're very generous and assume an average donation of $100, which is high for first-time donors, that gives Clinton a current take of at most $6 million."

I think it's possible that she's gotten $10M, but no one has asked the pertinent question...how much of that is primary money?

I don't believe a damn thing that campaign says, and this is the reason that having her as the nominee is so unacceptable.

[Bigleaf]

30. 10:00 EST: Hillary on all the morning shows saying they raised 3 million. 1:00 EST McAuliffe

tells Ed Schultz they raised $ 10 million. What's going on here?


Check out the video of Clinton @ 4:50. She says they raised 3 million overnight.
