I'm on my way to make another donation to Obama.
Because of Hillary's little "ruse". It may have been effective, but it sure doesn't seem honest to me. This "bot" would have been PISSED if Obama pulled something like that. I don't expect he ever would, while I put nothing past the Clintons. I just thought anyone else who's been thinking of donating might want to do the same.

11. Yes, I did. I almost feel bad, but after reading thread after thread
dissing him, I just had enough. I was hoping I could get some people to join me, that's why I posted it here.

Besides, the Obama-bashing threads so far outnumber all the other posts, I thought I'd try to even them up a little.

I am starting a new group: Fly Fishermen for Obama. I am giving up my spring fly-tying supplies and giving the money to Big O.

18. I swore after John that I was done with donating
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 08:59 PM by Yael
I just gave my first donation to Obama because of Hillary's stunt and am thinking of setting up a monthly donation.

Yeah -- I am that pissed.

I haven't even decided if I am VOTING for Obama in my upcoming primary. I work with our local Obama volunteer chair at my real job. I will go to next week's meeting and see what I can do to help.

25. I wasn't planning on anymore donating, either.
I have decided I'm voting for Obama, but I also like Edwards, and donated to him twice. If I could afford to, I'd set up a monthly one, too. I am THAT pissed, too - those dedicated staffers, working without pay - I wonder how many people they got with that one.

It's precisely the reason I'm voting for Obama - dishonesty is just standard procedure with the Clintons.

28. Hi lioness,
I don't do sneaky. This shit was beyond sneaky. It is a trust issue and I wouldn't trust Hillary any farther than I could throw Bill.

I gave both candidates a fresh look when John dropped. It broke my heart, but I wanted to see them with clean slates.

This kinda shit just makes me wash my hands. I am not very tolerant of these kinds of games when it comes to people. Play them amongst your Senate friends all day long -- but when the candidate is manipulative of the PEOPLE of this country, I draw the line.

30. The loan was undisclosed and staff lead the charge in promoting the
myth that they were going without pay.

it was a ruse -- a farce. Made up bullshit. Whatever you want to call it -- it was sneaky to the core.

I want transparency in my government (and fully applaud the START of campaign reform) and this was every slime trick in the book to undercut disclosure.

20. question....
Does anyone have their own fundraising page set up through the Obama site? I want to contribute again but if someone needs to meet their goal I'd be glad to donate through your page.

32. I've donated a number of times - to several candidates.
I normally have a ton of grace, but it just doesn't seem called for at this particular time. It's kind of you to try to help with my manners, though.

34. Just got word that over the last 7 months.
My wife and I have maxed out. Luckily, I am a good discusser. My parents are now on board to give Barack as much as they can, probably the maximum.
