Clinton Stiffs New York Vendors!

[BlooInBloo]

What a classy campaign - giving millions to Allen, but screwing over all the little guys. :puke:

1. Unbelievable!

Compare this to Obama's labor video just posted on here and it's a night and day difference between the two of them.

2. Including the man she lied about firing...

Mark Farking Penn

3. I have a friend who works for the Clinton campaign

And she told me today that her last 2 paychecks have not been for the full amount, and that she was told she is definitely losing her job after June 3. I doubt she will ever get her paychecks corrected :( At least she's getting something...some campaigns just stop making payroll when they run out of money. I guess the Clinton campaign is halving peoples' salaries or something so that everyone gets something. Or it could be an actual error, but I doubt she will ever get the money.

5. That's real sad

After working with the paid staffers for the Obama campaign I know how hard that work is. I was working and volunteering 40 hours a work and than 40 volunteering and the guy at the office from the Obama campaign was putting in longer days and weeks than me.

I really feel bad for her foot soldiers.

9. I feel really bad for them

It has to be so demoralizing working on her campaign right now. My friend sounded okay...she just started working for the campaign a few months ago so she is not as emotionally invested as the people who have been there for over a year. But it has to be hard to keep working those kind of hours knowing it's probably for a lost cause.

10. Yup - that would be hard. And not getting paid, to boot.

[AllentownJake]

14. I think she's laid off some people too

or people have left. Her advance team for the speaches have not been doing a very good job.

The WV people at her rally with the Anti-Obama signs showed that to me.

16. Please make that a thread of it's own. Hillary Clinton's real treatment of workers should be known.

[AllentownJake]

17. This is typical

for a dying campaign unfortunately. It isn't just Hillary.

4. i bet Penn will get his, everybody else will probably get nothing.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Penn ALREADY got paid!

8. of course, take care of number 1!

11. Did he really? 'Cause that

site was too slow for me. If he did then it would make sense because mark penn was the one in charge of the disaster from the get-go. He thought California was winner take all and prolly told her she was inevitable and it would be all over Feb 5th.

It was ..just not the outcome mark penn, got obscene amounts of money for giving such bad advice, envisioned.

[BlooInBloo]

13. Yup - per FEC filings, he got paid about $3 million last month.

[Cha]

19. 'Course, mark penn knows

all the dirty little secrets and some not so little.

[stillcool]

18. That one is so hard for me to believe..

how is it possible that such supposed politically astute people as Bill and Hillary Clinton are, had no idea how Democratic Primaries work, or, had no idea what their own Campaign strategy was. But then again, since the voting began, their campaign has just been a series of hit and runs. It still boggles my mind, that they don't seem to care how toxic they have made themselves.

[Cha]

21. I guess they left everything up to mark penn

'cause I read when harold ickes heard about the "California winner take all" he turned pale and immediately corrected them. I think he helped make the law or something.

The inevitable bubble didn't help them either but it sure helped America.

7. Typical Republican modus operandi

Once a Goldwater girl, always a Goldwater girl.

12. Kitchen sinks are costly these days I guess..

20. Not just New Yorkers -

The FEC filing shows plenty of small businesses across the country still awaiting payment.

[FatDave]

25. Last I heard she still owed Iowa vendors (nt)

[MonkeyFunk]

22. Who said they've stiffed?

Obama has debts, too. Nobody claims he's stiffing those people.

Why not stop the hate for a day? You might regain some sense of reason.

[barack the house]

23. As long as Penn is well fed that kid with no bike or video games can sleep well at nights. Very

heart warming

24. She has to pay for phonebanking? I phonebank for free for Obama?!
