Nope....good,,,,,


.THAT, right there, is the fucking problem....

Censorship and bully tactics are illiberal...

Censorship?
Bully?
Intimidate?

Me? Surely you jest..

There's your proof.

There's life in the real world.

That's hilarious.

may be brewing.....

Well.. maybe. if so .. so be it..

Once recently I posted something that was against Clinton in her group without knowing it.. and I apologized and all was fine.

Just wanted to be sure not to make the same mistake.

was just kidding around. I did not understand what the other poster was trying to get across to you. When in doubt, back away slowly and then turn and run.

brave!!!

I just had a mint julep. maybe that helped.

one of the rare times I really did laugh out loud

Agree with you.

to Hillary's campaign.

Well I am one of the large donors and I will give more as the primary season plays out.

I am proud to be part of the fucking problem.

We need money to fight the repubs in the general and that will take more fucking problems.

You should thank me for helping to keep you out from under a republican administration.

Candidate of your choice. Get off your high horse, it's embarrassing

Any pro-Hillary thread are NOT allowed, right?

That is why we have groups to discuss those issues.

That is such a load of shit. What the hell do you care anyway? Jesus! This fucking place is so shit. ANYTHING pro-Bernie is treated as if it was written in gold. BUT something pro-Hillary, the bat signal turned on the fit are thrown.

Were posted here, and I'll delete.

I'm not going to dig back months for threads. To hell with it. Alert away. I am so sick of this shit.

Omaha Steve is doing a good job supporting Bernie like that.

But don't say that fundraising shit never happens in GD: P it does. And just because it's a positive post about one of the candidates doesn't mean it should be "hidden" away in a supporter forum. Fuck that noise.

I'll delete.

that 100 million by the end of December is nothing to deep pockets.

Interesting.

I thought it was a great idea.

Or do you have some uncontrollable reflex to shit on a Hillary thread?

I was not shitting on the poster. I was saying that the idea of MONEY MONEY MONEY is the problem..

... that's why she'll WIN!!

Not counting what Trump - a billionaire - could throw into his campaign.

No matter the Democratic candidate at any level, money will be targeting them.

Even when they drop out, that money will still get spent attacking some Democrat somewhere.

This is the game, these are the rules - if you want to win, you have to play!

The dark money is what is really interesting. Rubio's ad buys are primarily from a single dark money group and no one knows who the donors are. Koch brothers maybe? They are not thrilled about the Trump/Carson surges and their name is well known now, so it would make sense that they would start hiding more behind the dark money laws. Scott Walker already ate it and Jeb is a non-starter. If Rubio goes down, they are screwed.

The deal with campaign finance reform is with the Supreme Court, not the politicians. I have been fighting this battle on the grassroots level for years. We get good politicians elected, pass some good laws that add restrictions and transparency and the Supremes knock it down. If it was as easy as getting the right politician into power, believe me, it would be taken care of by now. But it is like a hydra. You cut off a head and a bunch more sprout in new and unexpected places.

Read this if you really want to shoot yourself in the head over the entire mess. It is boring to read about NC judicial elections, but I swear we were on the road to having some of the best and cleanest laws in the nation for judicial races and then the Supremes opened the floodgates of special interest money on us, we lost the 2010 elections, got redistricted into oblivion and now we are well and truly f'ed. I am a good soldier, but OMG it is frustrating. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/06/north-carolina-republicans-judicial-election

The good news is that people seem to be tuning political ads out more and more. Perhaps there is a saturation point.

I'm a Hillary supporter because I was so inspired by Obama's vision, and I think Hillary is the best shot we've got to achieve that and keep red out of the White House. But I look at a sum like $100M and I can't help but get sad at that damn waste of money, which could be used on all sorts of things. Heck, even just a new set of tires would make all the difference to me. Here's hoping that we can get some momentum goin to keep the red out of all levels of government and then we wouldn't have to spend so much on goddamn campaigning!

I bet they make it too.

Is that an additional $100M or total with previous amount?

It doesn't belong in the GDP.

use it.

I'm not the one complaining about it. I think that posts about fundraising are perfectly appropriate for this forum.

Sid

And right on time the Bernie peeps with uncontrollable cases of the shits show up.
