Just sent my max contribution to Hillary. Come on Hillary women

[jasmine621]

let's put our money where are heart is.

[Renew Deal]

1. $2300?

And another child starves.

[Hoof Hearted]

3. So of course you discourage all donations to Obama on behalf of starving kids?

?

We're trying to help some kids here - not just float pretty words at them.

67. Someone doing a better job making my point

[guruant]

4. There's nothing wrong with it

If the poster believes that giving $2300 to help their candidate become President will eventually do more to help children (and all people, for that matter) than the same amount to the Red Cross or whoever, they aren't doing anything wrong.

[populistdriven]

74. I hear Hillary is loaning starving kids 5 million of her own money, Thumb prints are ok

Just using :sarcasm: to point out how ridiculous the comparison is.

[joshcryer]

9. Are you serious? Really? I can't believe this.

I have seen no less than half a dozen posts from Obama supporters claiming to donate the max.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

13. It might be a joking reference to a similar post on an Obama donation thread

Some newbie was scolding us about lavishing money on our wealthy candidates.

[Renew Deal]

68. Think

30. I have a question for you ...

Why is it that some Obama supporters feel the apparently irrestible urge to jump into each and every thread, trying to rally Hillary Clinton's supporters for donations, just to leave a big stinky one? I've looked at the threads for Barack Obama's supporters donations and don't see anyone mistaking them for public restrooms.


Don't forget to flush and wash your hands ...

[Renew Deal]

66. Here you go

73. It is possible to support a candidate and still donate to charitable

organizations, too, you know. In my case, the campaign donation I have made and will make do not diminish the amount that I have set aside for charitable donations.

[Hoof Hearted]

2. < - - - giving one more time this week. I really need a new stove, but we can get by with

our convection oven for a little while longer.

Go Hillary!

[rodeodance]

45. good for you.

[Hoof Hearted]

5. I forgot to give it an R,

:dem:

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. I gave 2 days ago and today, but I will KICK and recommend!

GO, Hillary!

[ronnykmarshall]

76. Me too.

I looked did a search on my Quicken and I've donated $204 so far. So I'm at my limit for now.

[CompSciStudent]

7. Hillary’s health plan covers everyone at half the cost of Obamas plan that leaves 22 million out

Just did the same thing!!!
----------------------------
By the way. Have you people seen the new op ed column at nyt ? PAUL KRUGMAN writes about Hillary vs Obama’s health plan.
He refers to a new study by Jonathan Gruber of M.I.T, one of America’s leading health care economists,

He dissected both plans and "Gruber finds that a plan without mandates, broadly resembling the Obama plan, would cover 23 million of those currently uninsured, at a taxpayer cost of $102 billion per year. An otherwise identical plan with mandates would cover 45 million of the uninsured — essentially everyone — at a taxpayer cost of $124 billion. Over all, the Obama-type plan would cost $4,400 per newly insured person, the Clinton-type plan only $2,700."

Krugman writes; "As with any economic analysis, Mr. Gruber’s results are only as good as his model. But they’re consistent with the results of other analyses, such as a 2003 study, commissioned by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that compared health reform plans and found that mandates made a big difference both to success in covering the uninsured and to cost-effectiveness.

And that’s why many health care experts like Mr. Gruber strongly support mandates."

"If you combine the economic analysis with these political realities, here’s what I think it says: If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, there is some chance — nobody knows how big — that we’ll get universal health care in the next administration. If Mr. Obama gets the nomination, it just won’t happen"


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/opinion/04krugman.html?ex=1359867600&en=0a79062d32c378c9&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

I don’t have enough posts to start a new thread, but I do hope some of you Hilary supporters will pick it up, and make it known to the DU users.

It gives Hillary plenty of ammo in the weeks to come. Hillary’s plan is far superior over Obama’s, both ethically since it covers everyone, and it’s also fiscally sound.

[nonconformist]

27. Welcome to DU!

And that article is really eye-opening, isn't it? Hillary's health care plan is one of the reasons I decided to support her.

:thumbsup:

[Obamanaut]

65. About these estimates -

History shows that estimates of cost to taxpayers are usually far below what the actual costs turn out to be. When we started Medicare, the predicted cost by 1990 was about one half of the actual. Isn't this true of so many government run programs such as IRS, social security, a multitude of other "entitlement" programs.

How much do you think the actual cost of these estimates of $4,400 and $2.700 will turn out to be? Much more, I betcha.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

8. Add A link to HillaryClinton.com, Im going there now as I said I was earlier! Nice post!

[AGirl]

10. I am sorry ladies, I am really broke, but I will kick and recommand.

[rodeodance]

[judaspriestess]

and it felt pretty darn good.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

12. Hillary 08!

[rodeodance]

19. great.

[Matariki]

14. Question about donations

Can you send more after the primaries, or is that max for the entire election cycle?

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

25. $2300 in each! You can go max in primary then start over in general!

I was worried about that too!

Hillary 08!

[Avalux]

15. Hillary women?

Nope.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

31. You dropped something...

[WillyT]

16. "Hillary Women"... Am I Missing Something Here ???

Please explain.

:shrug:

[SaveOurDemocracy]

32. Oops ... another 1

[rodeodance]

17. I did the night of the Townhall--next month i will again

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

24. Nice Job! Thanks!

[alteredstate]

21. Have you donated to DU lately?

[SaveOurDemocracy]

33. Hey!!! dropped something...

[Matariki]

39. will you PLEASE stop that!

I'm eating my dinner while reading DU. Blech.

[MadBadger]

34. Good point.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

37. What's wrong... not enough Obama donation threads to

keep you busy? HEY! I know ... how about another Clinton/hooker joke before you clean up your mess and go?

[MoonRiver]

22. Not just women support Clinton!

And I've also contributed to my max.

[Madam Mossfern]

23. Why not Hillary men?

The OP is sexist and exclusionary. I'll most likely be sending a donation to Obama.

[jasmine621]

28. Hillary men can contribute too. This was just a special shout out to sis'tas

No offense intended to anyone.

[sidwill]

26. I wish I was rich so I could send Barack 2300 bucks.

Instead I'm just an average working schmoe that can only send 100 bucks.

Well, I guess this situation kind of sums up the two campaigns, you send in 2300 I send in 100.

It's sorta like as Jim Morrison once sang

you got the big guns.....

BUT....

WE GOT THE NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

GONNA WIN YEAH WERE TAKLIN OVER!!

COME ON!!!!!!

[nonconformist]

29. Ha!

Why is it that some Obama supporters seem to think that he's a very liberal champion of the little guy?

Dude, he's FAR FROM IT. If you want to vote in your interests, please do some research on this.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

35. Wow ... laxitive just take effect?

[GoldieAZ49]

55. a class act, Hillary donation thread full of steaming shit ... sheesh

[SaveOurDemocracy]

58. Don't look at me ...I'm just showing people where not

to step. Maybe you'd like to suggest that certain thread-shitters get some potty training.

[mondo joe]

36. Doesn't sum up the campaigns. Hillary has greater support among the working class.

You're just hanging with the wrong crowd.

[BlackVelvet04]

38. I just did my second contribution for the week. n/t

[CyberPieHole]

40. kick and rec n/t

42. a big REC

[Uncle Sinister]

44. don't forget Hillary MEN!

[rodeodance]

47. I'll Do It For Her... She's Apparently Busy...

[Uncle Sinister]

[SaveOurDemocracy]

[SaveOurDemocracy]

60. jasmine621 ... Thanks for posting this thread.

I apologize to you, and to the others who were posting in good faith, for the unappealing images I used to make a point that I felt needed to be made. I have since removed the images so as not to turn people off who are considering donating.
