I just gave 200 I don't have to Clinton campaign. Third time.
I'm stingy with donations, politicians have to earn them.

I don't waste them on candidates who have no chance of winning so if Clinton doesn't win the nomination the good news for me is I don't have to donate any more money to a presdiential candidate.

2. My husband and I are planning on doing the max tonight, since we have yet to contribute.
Would it be better to trickle it in?

5. Donate as much as you can now if you want her to win the nomination.
Lord knows she needs it given how much elite support Obama garners.

9. his fund raising is far LESS elite than hers.
only 14% of her donations come from small contributors versus 32% for him. He just has far, far more small donors.

6. thats a good question. They need $ upfront as far as I can tell. Yet smaller
donations I think gives the campaign a psycological boost--joan and john Q citizen are responding.

Split it? just my thoughts.

10. It stands to reason that if you gave the $200 to Mrs. Clinton, that you no longer have it.
unfortunately your statement about wasting your donation doesn't hold up to the same simple logic.

13. She doesn't care
Both have opted out of public financing, and Hillary has more than enough money to self finance. But if it makes you feel better than throwing your money out the window of a moving car, more power to you.

15. Aren't the Clintons now worth something like $60 million?
Seems to me that they can (and possibly already are) finance most of the rest of their campaign.

16. Good for you!
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:31 PM by DaDooRonRon
200 clams gets you one of the following nifty choices:

Pick which branch of the service you planning to go into to help Hillary keep those terra-ists away from your door.

Or perhaps instead you'll become part of her team designed to enrich the insurance companies.

Of course, there's always corporate lobbying if you REALLY want to get on her good side.

Nope, I've got it - become a meteorologist with Team WeatherClinton. She ALWAYS needs someone to tell her which way the wind is blowing.

The opportunities are limitless with such a "progressive" gal.

Good luck!!

25. That's possible. But - as another Clinton donor - I am content that I put my money
where my beliefs are. If Clinton loses - and that is quite possible - I'm no worse off for having tried.

28. Then allow me to extend my heartfelt sympathies ...
please don't waste anymore of your hard earned money on what I term "The Clintonian Political Crime Family?"

IMNSH, but genuine Opinion, you are being "punked." :(

36. THANK YOU FOR HELPING GEORGE BUSH'S ECONOMY!!
Now, if we could just get more people to spend more money that they don't have -- please please PLEASE tell me you'll be paying about 30% interest to one of our fine banks on that donation.

Do remember to pay only minimum monthly payment and give that bank the maximum in interest charges you possibly can on that $200 you don't even have. Without your generous donation to Chinese and Middle Eastern loan sharks, Walmart and Exxon would be forced to go belly up.

Thank you. Thank for deficit spending. Minimum wage employees all over the country thank you.
