I could accept and support Hillary as president, and I'd even work to get her elected if she were nominated, but I doubt I'll ever send her a dime. And its not like she doesn't ask every few days.

1. I have only given money to Obama, but
I am considering donating to Edwards as well.

None of the others deserve one single dime from me.

2. With all the millions she is raking in, I will send my paltry contributions elsewhere.
I'm sure there are others who could put the money to better use.

3. Hillary.

She started pestering me for money way last year for her Senate campaign. And I don't even live in New York.

Anyhow, it's obvious she doesn't really need money from us little people.

5. Presently ? The only one I could financially support is DK.
The rest don't deserve what little hard-earned money I have to spare.

6. We donate to people who actually do something. Which excludes politicians.
Oxfam, Amnesty International, Kiva, ACLU, and Planned Parenthood.

15. I'm with you on that. People, not millionaire politicians.
Edited on Sun Mar-25-07 07:28 PM by lwfern
I donated to Kerry, but I doubt I'll be donating to another politician. More gets done outside of the system than in it. The system is broken.

So now I give to things like Katrina relief, I pay the way of volunteers going to relief camps, and I donate to private individuals who I think are making a difference. And Veterans for Peace and the Iraq Veterans Against the War.

9. Send her money
oh man I'm having a nervous breakdown worrying she might get the nomination because of all the Democratic candidates not only wouldn't I send her one penny but I'm completely serious I'm not even sure I could vote for her. And please folks don't bother yelling at me that I have to vote for her - I most likely in the end would - but at this moment in time the thought of voting for that woman literally makes me sick. Hillary stands for NOTHING BUT ELECTION....

20. I feel the same way
I saw her on one of the morning shows 2wks ago about getting out of Iraq, her comment was once we secure our interest, we''' start troop reduction.

Do any of you people see what she is, how about the time the media took one of Kerry's sound bites at a collage and twisted it, both her and kissy face to Bush McCain were the 1st to come out that Kerry should apologize to the troops.

Can't stand that woman, I think Obma made a mistake firing that genius that came out with the visual 1984 add.

23. I agree
the thought of her getting the nomination makes me sick cause then we will lose the WH and most likely everything else. I guess in the end I would vote for her but I would have to hold my nose to do it. x(

12. Oh, there are a few
but no front runners. I think we are fortunate to have some real choices for America in the people who have thrown their hats into the ring so far. What have the Repubs got? Rudy? Not going to happen.

But please, God, find something else for Jeb Bush to do so he doesn't run.

13. I'm going to give the maximum to any Democratic nominee other than Joe Biden.
Joe Biden would be perfect for White House Press Secretary.

1) He's got one hell of a mouth on him.
2) He's tough as nails.
3) He puts his foot in his mouth often enough, that the President could order Biden to say something stupid to the press to distract them from reall issues in The White House. "The President just accidentally bombed Lichtenstein. He wants you to take one for the team and use the word 'Tarbaby,' so they'll be talking about YOU for a couple news cycles."

16. I'll have to chime in on Hillary as well.
Sorry, Hillary....I'm sure you'd be a decent president and all, but you have WAY too much baggage including just pure hatred from the right wingers and even many moderates.

17. Why would Clinton need more money?
I'll give my hard-earned money to the underdogs. They need it and often have the correct views on the issues.
