A question for those who will hold their noses and vote for Clinton |
|
if she is the nominee...will you contribute to her GE campaign?
I'm having a hard enough time keeping to my pledge to vote for her, I can't bear the thought of giving her a cent. I guess that could be a problem for her if others feel the same way.

It won't cost you a cent. I hope that you are prepared to pay for Hill...in more ways than one.

27. By the end of the primary he will probably have 3 times the amount of donors than Hillary. |
|
I highly doubt he will have money problems. Hillary was suppose to have this great funding machine, but they appear to be maxed out while the average Obama supporter has only given 1/10th of the maximum limit.

41. I feel the same about both of them. |

If I have any money to contribute, or any time to spend campaigning, it will go to the candidate challenging my republican senator this fall.
I would not give half of a penny, or a single breath, to campaigning for either Obama or HRC.

John Kerry asked for money to help him "fight to make sure every vote was counted." Even though I had just been laid off and didn't have any money, I sent him more than I could afford. So did a lot of other people.
On election night -- before all the votes had been counted -- Kerry pocketed the money and ran away.
Let them get the fucking money from Kerry. I'm tapped out.

The only IF in this is IF the SDs take it away and overturns the "will of the people". Clinton will lose enough support from Obama's side. And this will be just enough for McSame to take the GE.

I WILL vote for her in the GE if it comes down to it.
I WILL NOT give her a red cent, or a moment of my time.
I WILL NOT defend her against the right wing attacks. She brought those on herself by cozying up to them for political expediency.
I WILL NOT promote her through bumper stickers or yard signs, or campaign for her in any way. When I recieve the anti-Hillary e-mails, I will not respond, just delete.

I probably will. If she's "IT", yes I indeed will vote for her. And I will do my damnedest to figure out any and all rebuttals to whatever arguments against it come my way.
Remember, we also have to think down-ticket, too.
And to hold john mcsame off, and keep the Dems ahead, yes I will contribute. May not be much, but I will contribute if need be. With Obama, that goes without saying, of course.
