Donating to Hillary Clinton is a very intelligent move.

[barack the house]

Howard Dean said one of the biggest unifiers is the person in 2nd place. If we contribute to her every time she makes a good stump for Obama it encourages her to do more to help the cause. Now, the past has to be the past and let's work as a unit faster, smarter and harder than the Republicans. 2008 won't be like 04 or 2000, not this time, not with so much at stake. Let's work as one people.

1. I agree

I am willing to donate to her if she makes a genuine effort to help Obama, but I am waiting for now to see if Obama asks us to, because I want him to get credit for my donation. Otherwise the Clinton campaign won't know the donation is coming from Obama supporters.

[barack the house]

2. Well you only need leave an email contact to send encouragement with the contribution really.

[Diamonique]

3. I made a contribution after her concession speech. n/t

[Avalon6]

4. Why can't she get Mark Penn to forgive some of her debt to him

It seems ridiculous that he isn't taking some blame for how her campaign was managed.

[JTFrog]

5. He's already written his version of what went wrong and there was no self reflecting. n/t

7. Really? I'd love to read it.

[Patsy Stone]

8. How did you miss that turdburger?

See, it's not him; it was the voters... :eyes:

14. Oh, what a piece of shit.

[barack the house]

6. It's not worth going back to the primary time, the more we can work as one the more chance to win...

this big.

[JohnnyCougar]

9. I don't know that I'm in the business of forgiving the debt of millionaires

but if it floats your boat, then go for it.

[greguganus]

10. I agree, especially when that debt could of been controlled. n/t

[NoFederales]

11. So let the intelligent design crowd donate to heart's content. nt

29. There you go it's by god's intelligent design to donate to her campaign..

Or it just helps us past the post in the GE. Women listen to women, it's the way of the world only HRC can bring them back to the fold.

[raebrek]

12. That sounds like pay for play to me. n/t

[stillcool]

13. I don't see how the Clinton debt..

has anything to do with the Democratic Party, or winning the General Election. Sounds like another version of threats and extortion.

[barack the house]

27. Hillary has a section of votes considering voting mccain only she can change that..

I've talked to a few online only her word counts. Yes, I know it goes to debt but I am saying if she earns some good will why not help, not obliging anyone to do so.

[Lerkfish]

15. well, to be devil's advocate: this reminds me of a close relative

who was constantly begging me for money. Even though I worked hard to support my family, their constant requests were draining any ability to save money for my own family, and they were spending the money frivolously (like asking for money for a car payment, and then using it to buy christmas gifts for coworkers, leaving her car payment unpaid).

In other words, it was rewarding poor spending judgment, which only encouraged further irresponsible behaviour in the future.


just my two cents.

[barack the house]

16. Ok, I can understand that story but this is more to help than to cause damage. No-one obliged to..

contribute just a thought. It's more spreading our resources really. Not that you wouldn't donate to Obama also.

[Pisces]

17. Sorry, no can do. I won't say anything against her, but I won't give her my money.

[goldcanyonaz]

18. Many feel the same about Obama, they will vote for him but not donate

[barack the house]

30. That's fair enough. I am just saying for those thinking strategic it works. Understandable if..

you don't wish to.

[goldcanyonaz]

19. My husband and I already capped out at $4600

[barack the house]

25. Good to hear just throwing ideas out there really to get Democrats elected this year.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

20. Um, no

I am struggling to make ends meet - I refuse to give her money to replace the millions she donated to herself. I'll gladly eat Top Ramen for a week to donate to Obama or the DNC, though. Her job as a democrat is to promote the nominee - she shouldn't need to be paid off to do that.

[barack the house]

31. There are lots of things that shouldn't be. All I know is things are easier if we help..

No-one has to donate though it's only a suggestion. I am not twisting anybodys arm here just throwing out ideas to get Obama past the post. I mean we wanna win yeah.

[grantcart]

21. okay since I can more or less understand this one I am going to assume that you

wrote this one when you just started drinking tonight.

[barack the house]

22. I don't see the drunken thinking in this at all Hillary had millions of votes only she can ...

remotivate them. Showing some appreciation if she does wouldn't be a bad thing. I know folks will take issue with her but winning big is our safest sid of caution. I am not saying don't contribute to Obama just let's keep our voters together.

[grantcart]

23. I actually understand your point here while your other two threads are approaching jibberish

are you still going to try and tell us that your cold sober when your replies have half of their words mistypred?

[barack the house]

24. No I am more half blind in truth. One thread was on the Mike Reagan story and another on Russerts..

death conspiacies.

[AlCzervik]

26. wait, we need to pay her to make stump speeches?

[barack the house]

32. It's the math only Hillary can speak to her millions of very loyal voters..

Given the right incentive she will do. It's just a thought if you are broke or not at peace with her it's ok don't do it, only an idea to consider.

[iconicgnom]

28. I agree with your sentiment.

I think Hillary's supporters might well consider helping her retire her debt, as a way to contribute to the Dem Party. Is it possible to do something 50/50, so a donation goes 50/50 between Hillary and the DNC in Hillary's name? I think that's a fair way to give the DNC a certain clout.

[barack the house]

33. Yep it sounds reasonable, glad I wasn't totally misunderstood.
