We're Out'o Doughnuts! Make a Donation to Hillary Today!

[Obamaman2008]

Anyone else find this article funny. They must be out of anything interesting to report. I think if she spent more money on the advertising instead of doughnuts and bad punchline advisors, she would have had the ability to pay her staff and compete.

I heard a rumor on the local radio here in Boise, from the guy who helped run Mondale's campaign, that the reason that Hillary is out trying to raise lots of money is because she is in debt and doesn't want to end the campaign that way.

Don't know if that is true. But it sure would make sense to me.

[Horse with no Name]

1. And I heard a rumor that Obama is a Muslim

See how that works? :eyes:

[Dark]

2. She paid twice what Obama paid for doughnuts and pizza.

This isn't fiscal responsibility

[Obamaman2008]

4. Clearly, she should have bought day olds!

[XemaSab]

31. Obama headquarters in Santa Barbara

was ALL ABOUT CostCo for food. Pizza, pastries, you name it...

[ErnestoG]

6. Wow to make the rightwingers look correct about fiscal irresponsibility...

[jackson_dem]

17. She paid $1,100 more for doughnuts. Let's get real. 1k out of $100 million doesn't matter

Why is so much emphasis on haircuts and doughnuts, not the issues?

[cali]

34. you're right.

it's the idiotic paying of $33,000,000 to consultants who've been driving her campaign into the ground that's mind bogglingly stupid, not the minor stuff. That's a full 1/3 of what she's raised. But hey, I guess if you're a Mark Penn fan, it's money well spent!

[jackson_dem]

49. you're right.

Penn and co. have been disasters. She could have gotten a lot better for far cheaper.

Hey, did you ever think we would have an exchange where the subject line was "you're right" for each? ;)

[Darth_Kitten]

40. Because, it's like, you know, desperation?

n/t

[Debi]

52. You mean like her not paying her staff and yet holding a press conference to say that she did?

Would that be an issue?

[Obamaman2008]

3. Yeah, but this was from a Democrat

[Johnny__Motown]

5. Yes, Obama people use the truth and Clinton people tell lies see how that works

Hillary spent approx. 1300 dollars in one month on donuts, we know that to be true she has released the documents.

Barack is not a Muslim, we know that claim to be false. He has been going to the same church for years, also he was raised by Christians. His father left when he was 2.


See how that works?


Distortions and lies are what Clinton people use

Documents and facts are what Obama people use


have a nice day

[Obamaman2008]

8. If people believe it, it is fact enough, right?

[MADem]

7. Oh, no, that snark is only allowed to go ONE WAY, see?

Otherwise, there's crying and foot-stomping!

And cries of "UNFAIR!!"

[Obamaman2008]

9. Crying, who has been crying?

[MADem]

10. Well, seeing as you've only been here for a week, what would you know

about the ins and outs of this board? You spend some time paging through the archives, you'll get the sense.

If you're interested, which, frankly, I doubt you are.

Welcome aboard, will you be sticking around after primary season ends?

[MagickMuffin]

32. How do you know they haven't been reading DU threads for years and just decided to join?.?.?

:shrug:

What a way to insult someone, by your remarks.

[MADem]

35. Well, actually, I don't think that.

I think...oh, nevermind.

Enjoy your time here. You seem all suited up and ready to do battle, certainly.

[MagickMuffin]

42. I'm all suited up to vote on March 4th, But you're one to talk about being suited for battle

Battle seems to suit you to a T. I've been reading your replies and threads for several years, and this year has really surprised me, I've learned a lot about you from reading your posts.

I only defended the OP from your off handed remark.

I really haven't been enjoying my time here as much as I used to, before the primary season. But I still like to see what's happening in the DU community. It has changed and a lot of the old timers have really taken me by surprise. I never thought a lot of these people could become so emotional over their particular candidate. It really boggles my mind.

Take Care, MADem.

[MADem]

44. I only respond and defend against spurious commentary. I don't initiate.

Find a thread I have started about Clinton or Obama in the last month or two. Or more.

I haven't started any.

The OP looks awfully familiar to me. Part of the "February Team" perhaps? It's amazing how a whole bunch of people, an influx that is unusually large, can all suddenly decide to sign up at the same time. I think that's interesting.

That's all I'm saying.

[MagickMuffin]

45. Agree but the "February Teams" from both camps

I try to stay out of the tit for tat. However, when I see some of the disinfo, I will usually respond to correct the errors.

Right now I'm off to learn more about democracy and selecting delegates in the Lone Star State.

Have a good day, MADem:hi:

[MADem]

48. Have fun!

:hi:

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

13. But Obama isn't a Muslim

And Hillary did spend her supporter's money to vastly inflate the bank accounts of her campaign staff.

You see, one is factual, and the other is you being sad on the internet.

[Bongo Prophet]

33. Thank you! spending on donuts is EXACTLY like the muslim rumor! EXACTLY!!!

Do you really think they are equal?
That explains a LOT about the thinking around here.

Do I care about her donut budget?
No I DO NUT! ;)

[rodeodance]

11. I find your post insulting.

[ErnestoG]

12. I find your empty one liners insulting.

[rodeodance]

15. yeah?---I see you one-liner up stream.

6. Wow to make the rightwingers look correct about fiscal irresponsibility...

To Victory - Always.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

14. Seriously

Are you justifying Mark Penn's presence in the Clinton campaign? Loyalty and insanity are not the same thing.

[rodeodance]

16. I am not justifying anything. But threads/subject lines such as the OP are

are mockery to those of us who respect our candidate.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

19. Find bigger things to be indignant about.

If Obama spent 90k on sandwich platters, he'd be treated like a joke. So would Richardson, Biden, or Estes Kefauver (were he not long dead.)

[rodeodance]

21. Your posts are not worth my time.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

22. OH SNAP

THE INTERNET SURE IS UNFORGIVING, RODEODANCE.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

23. SUBJECT LINE RESPONES!

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

24. THIS IS WAY EASIER THAN THINKING

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

25. MARK PENN IS BEYOND VALUE.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

26. BUT IOWANS LOVE SANDWICHES!

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

27. IF WE BUY THOUNSANDS OF THEM, WE CAN'T FAIL

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

28. JOHN EDWARDS MUST HAVE BOUGHT SOOO MANY SANDWICHES

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

29. THE MSM: SILENT ON THE SANDWICH GAP!

[terrya]

36. What the hell?

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

55. Hillary Clinton's campaign spent 90k on sandwiches

Yet didn't contest numerous states.

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. ...

:crazy:

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

56. I CAN DO THAT TOO!

[jackson_dem]

18. Obama spent more on polling than the allegedly "calculating" Hillary

Obama $2.8 million, Hill $2.1 million. This is a figure that matters, not $1,800 spent at Dunkin Donuts.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

20. Maybe if she had spent less on sandwiches

She could have contested Colorado or North Dakota?

[Darth_Kitten]

41. I guess people resort to eating......

when they are getting the once over from the press and the other candidate is getting an easy, free ride? :sarcasm:

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

54. Totally incoherent

But, sure!

[Stephanie]

43. Her pollster Mark Penn charged her $6M for January >

Of course he hasn't gotten all of it yet:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4726228

[Debi]

53. And Obama paid those bills (and his staff and his taxes and his rent) n/t

[MagickMuffin]

30. Well paying MILLIONS to Mark Penn isn't helping anyone except Mark Penn

Millions wasted on a sleaze ball.

[bigtree]

37. this is slimy politics

[Darth_Kitten]

38. Another hate-spewing newbie.

Maybe give to the Obama campaign so some of his supporters don't have to rely on just Ramen Noodles and Mac and Cheese for sustenance. :sarcasm:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

39. I doubled it just for you...Hillary thanks you

[scheming daemons]

51. No... Dunkin' Donuts thanks you...

.....

[AZBlue]

46. She's heavily in debt.

As another DU'er listed in the forum - there's a list a mile long of people she owes money too. And that doesn't include taxes. The campaign is now suggesting people make their donations directly to those vendors as an "in-kind" donation. WTF??!?!?

[Debi]

50. Don't think that's a rumor

:hi:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

57. I Think It's Officially Time To Put You On My 'Buddy List'. n/t
