Means testing is one of the Democratic Party tweaks to saving SS. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #62

So? Remember, no one, NO ONE, can contribute more than $2800. At least they'll be up front... George II Apr 2019 #21
So I think it's shitty when Democrats accept help from union-busters. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2019 #23
But when all the dust settles, we'll know from whom most of his contributions come from.... George II Apr 2019 #26
I think it is shitty that United exists but until the day we get rid of it, our candidates need Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #29
Thats 1 way to describe it. I'm guessin Joe will do the right thing & return the donation. He should InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #44
And he is a horrible person? You know this guy? Everybody is evil that works there? Are there UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #63
When it comes to law firm's that are dedicated to busting unions, yeah, WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2019 #65
Well if these shitty people are giving money it may as well be to us. nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #66
That is certainly one way to look at it. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2019 #67

Terrible look... it's amazing how some can turn a blind eye to dirty money in politics. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #43
Biden is more traditional on healthcare. delisen Apr 2019 #71
Money is ammunition. Take it and use it. dalton99a Apr 2019 #15
Guess that's one way to rationalize cozying up to big money interests... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #25
Yeah well...Sanders has money but still won't win a primary. I have no issue with contributions Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #33
That's fine, I respect your position... but, it won't fly with the Democratic base, sorry. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #35

I wouldn't think Joe would use "big money" to divide the Democratic Party InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #49
You frame it however you want BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #50
It's clear who is trying to divide the party with R B Garr Apr 2019 #73
Tell that to the many leading Democratic candidates who are rejecting "big money" campaign donations InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #74
Who cares about the BS games. No more phony talking R B Garr Apr 2019 #75
