1. Obama is sucking all the money into his race, we can't have any liberal candidates getting funds

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. Are you implying that the President is extorting money from the attendees?

:rofl:


You really do crack me up! Where are these legions of primary challengers who Obama's taking money from?


:rofl:

[Vincardog]

4. You are aware that there are other races on the ticket?

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. So, if Obama supporters weren't giving the money to him, they'd by default,

give it to the other races? WoW! Can't say I admire the way you think. People who can spend $35k for one event, aren't really strapped for cash, so I still don't get what you're moaning about. :shrug:

6. After the Obama machine grabs 1 BILLION from the big donors and most of the people; how much is

left for anyone else?

BTW I am not moaning about anything just pointing put the facts

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. "just pointing put the facts"

:rofl:

Do you have any idea WTF you're talking about? One has to do some major mental gymnastics to arrive at your conclusion that Obama's campaign is taking money from needy "liberal" candidates. That makes no fucking sense whatsoever. You speak as if these donors don't know WTF they want to give their money to. :shrug:

I fear you've run out material, but don't let that stop you. :rofl:

[Vincardog]

8. You have apparently never tried to raise funds for a liberal candidate, but enjoy your snark

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. I have. Perhaps it's the candidates you choose?

:shrug:

11. I guess you missed this part of the article:

"... that could raise millions for the Democratic National Committee and his campaign."

He's not doing the fundraising only for his campaign. It's also for the DNC which -- as you probably know -- gives funds to other Dem candidates up and down the ticket.

13. Like in Arkansas?

2. If I was a millionaire/billionaire, I'd max out in order to support him.

That said, I am saving my dollars to attend a fundraiser in my state in the future.

10. Obama in California

12. Okay...

I'll just leave it at "K&R."
