View Full Version : I just gave Edwards another $50 - who have you given money to?

Yes, I know I'm probably throwing my money away, and that the Dem leadership is trying to get Clinton or Obama the nomination. (both of whom I believe would be a bad choice, for much the same reason - they both play to the hates of the reds, and we've all seen that reds casn be motovated by hatred very very easily)

But unlike a lot of people, I put my money where my mouth is.

Politics now is about money, not about votes. So, where are you putting your money?

I know it's futile to make the offer, but I will anyway - I'll match anybody's donation to Edwards up to the SC primary.

Here's the hank you letter from the Edwards contribution page.

Dear friend,

Thank you so much for your support.

I never accept any money from lobbyists or PACs, so our victory depends on people like you pitching in. And that's the way it should be.

Your contribution will enable us to reach out to voters in living rooms, town halls, and on the airwaves. You're helping us build support for transformational change in early primary states and across the country.

Everywhere I travel, Americans are ready to join you and me in the great work ahead. To bring our message of real change to voters, we need offices in cities, organizers on the ground, and outreach materials to send in the mail.

Yes, the work of a national campaign comes at a cost, but truly changing America offers a far greater reward.

Thank you again for making all of this possible.

Sincerely,
John Edwards

Even though I should be putting this money towards my bomb shelter when Obama gets elected , I just sent 100$ to my president , George Walker Bush , President of the United States of America in appreciation for protecting me against terrorist attack for the last 7 years

For a Bush lover and republican, lying is part of the job description.

What would be freekin hilarious is if it wasn't a typical red republican lie.

That would be so funny I'd risk busting a vein.

That's what we gotta do - get all these people who claim to be republicans, but who don't donate any money, send a hundred to George Bush.

The Dems national committee has $33 million - the republican national comittee has $3 million - so send your hundreds to Bush, reds, you're falling way behind.

I hear Edwards has been gaining, and has had the biggest gain in donations.

It won't matter - the corper drones who run the dems will manipulate the media to block Edwards out.

A communal bomb shelter! We will need it.

I guess if you're female you care more about hair than about a persons qualifications and their positions.

That was low and not at all the case. Edwards claimss to care so very much
about the poor.....400 bucks would have made a real difference to a poor
family and would have gotten him much more positive press than presenting
a good haircut to the cameras. He got caught with his pants down on that
one and it shows what the real Edwards is. Hollow.

Here's what gets me about this entire haircut thing.

All of the candidate spend money on image consultants and most charge $300 an hour. They have make up artists that charge $180 an hour. No one seems to care about that.

Over $75 million of your tax dollars was spent to revamp the image of the war.

David Vitter spent $1,000 a night of your tax money on a hooker.

Rudy spent countless amounts of tax payer dollars on his mistress.

No one seems to care about our tax dollars being wasted on stuff like this but a man actually takes the advice of his image consultant and spends money that he earned and every one freaks out.

I think it's another case of ignoring what good party member's do with our money and focusing on a single scandal that someone does in their own time and using their own money. Edwards didn't come from family money. He earned it.

Well, the good thing about the SC primary being over is I can close my wallet as far as the dems are concerned.

It's important to support your political goals with your money, and Edwards came the closest of the bunch to addressing my political goals.

From now on, for this election, my political money goes to the blue netroots.
