Remember, when you donate to a politician, your money goes to the Save the Politico Fund...
There is nothing sadder than a political consultant without a Mercedes/BMW and a million dollar home.

Yeah, I mean there are people starving in this world, but they've probably never had much to eat. These political consultants need our money, because they'd know it if they were only able to afford a...gasp...Chevy!

It's hard out there for a politico!

If your kids sells his toys and video games, you should always make sure he donates that money to a politician, who in most cases has a 50/50 shot losing. Fuck the homeless. Papa needs a new beamer!

I mean, it's not like the $473 million spent up until April 30th (and certainly more afterwards) on the Democratic primary wasn't worth it!

There was no better way to waste *cough* spend $473 million but on politicians of the same party slinging mud at each other.

Shyeah, just because $473 million could have paid for a few hundred people's cancer treatment, doesn't mean the money could have been spent better!

Nah, it's not like $473 million could have been spent on our highways, or maybe on feeding the homeless, now could it?

$473 million is not all that much when you consider how many billions of billions of dollars these people will waste on other useless bullshit.

1. Whatever.
I actually think the political process is important, and that if it's not working right and nobody gives a shit then nothing will ever get done about healthcare, infrastructure and homelessness. $473 million is, in fact, a small price to pay if we end up with a functioning government at the end of the process.

3. So if the politicians, allegedly on our side, are so good, what happened in '93-'94?
Didn't we have both branches of elected government?

Why wouldn't things have been taken care of then?

If the problem is only the Republicans, and they weren't in control, then why didn't the problems our nation has clear up?

It would seem to me, that's what we're asking for, isn't it?

Control of the White House and the Congress. Well, we've had that, and things didn't turn out that well.

2. Every penny donated to a Democrat in this campaign
is a penny that won't go to pay for McCain's war with Iran. I'll donate everything I can to make sure gramps doesn't get elected.

5. Any money I donated went to supporting someone better over someone worse.
That was especially important in the Dem prez nomination race.

Now the money I donate will go toward defeating a Republican. There's no better use than that.

Feed the homeless, prevent some homelessness -- get the GOP out of power!
