Perfect...and this is change?

Post by StockOption »

LOL

Please.

Pinch me.

The ONLY experience the junior senator seems to have is how to be a deceptive politician, running a deceptive campaign.

Yeah he's all for change and he's so damn trustworthy :roll: :roll:

222 mill from donations smaller than $200? Kinda reminds me of Jerry Brown who refused donations over $100 back in the 80s. (I think that was the figure).

I heard a lady from Germany on a talk show calling in to see if she could legally donate to the Obama campaign. Was talking how anti McCain and Anti Republican the whole of Europe is.

It amazes me that people don't have some form of innate BS filter.

The Obama campaign recieves more than half of its private funding through small contributions from regular people. People like you and me, who likely contribute less than $200 to their favorite presidential candidate. Consequently, $200 is the threshold for which the campaigns must identify and report their contributors.

Deception and trustworthiness. That is the point.

It's just too big a stretch for anyone with an IQ over 7 to think this inordinate number of sub-$200 dollar donations came from separate individuals, sorry. If anyone does truly believe that they are fool. Even if you don't believe it why won't the junior senator and his campaign publish it's complete donor database like the McCain campaign did? Gee I wonder why?

Deception and trustworthiness.

"The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.

It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002."


"Surprisingly, the great majority of Obama donors never break the $200 threshold"

"Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online."

Instead of defending the junior senator all his supporters should ask that his campaign publish their complete donor list. I'm sure they have nothing to hide and everything is on the up and up :roll: :roll:

Deception and trustworthiness.

You're relying on and quoting a political propoganda website to make your points. Do you not realize this? It's as if you took Cavuto's words and broadcast them as fact. I could easily provide hundreds of articles that unfairly attack the republicans, but I try not to do that here. Try typing up you own thoughts, it might make you more credible.

ABC and CNN won't report it, because respectable news organizations do not report on things that do not exist. I won't defend MSNBC because they are clearly left leaning, but not even they would stoop to such misleading tactics.

If MSNBC = Fox, then NewsMax = Huffington.

ABC and CNN are respectable news organizations?! HA! When did that happen? The picture is becoming clearer every day, the people. CNN? Nice. For you to try and claim that any of the major news organizations don't follow suit with msnbc, tilting to the left, is laughable. Thank you for providing me with some early morning entertainment. =)

Sorry. Your friends at Fox have brainwashed you if you honestly believe that every news source outside of their twisted propoganda is leftist. In fact, all of the major news outlets are owned by corporate interests. The right's interest is to convince the world that all media outlets are biased to the left, so that if someone reports on one of their crimes (of which the Bush Admin is guiltly on hundreds of counts) they can just wave it off as "biased" media. It's a steaming pantload, completely invented by the right.

He's within the law here. What's deceptive about it? Lots of poor and middle income folks are giving money.

Why won't the junior senator's campaign publish all their donor's names like the McCain campaign has? I realize they don't have too ("within the law") it just seems odd to me that they won't. (Especially given the underlying mantras this campaign has run on.......)

Well, it might just be me, but if I didn't have to keep track of any donations under a set limit, let's say, for the sake of argument, $500, I certainly would not waste the time or the money to keep track of it. But maybe I'm just being frugal.
