This is really disconcerting. We are more than two years away. That makes this announcement a bully tactic to threaten possible primary contenders to not even bother to try because you will be buried alive with Clinton supporting money. I didn't like Hillary in 2008 and this kind of shyte will not make me like her much in 2016. For me its just more reasons why we need to get big money out of politics.


Biggest Liberal ‘Super PAC’ to Fund Possible Clinton Bid

The Obama political operation that once buried Hillary Rodham Clinton’s White House ambitions is now rapidly converging around her possible 2016 presidential bid, conferring on Mrs. Clinton enormous early advantages in money, expertise and voter targeting techniques.

On Thursday, Priorities USA Action, a “super PAC” that played an important role in helping re-elect President Obama, announced that it was formally aligning itself with Mrs. Clinton and would begin raising money to fend off potential opponents for 2016. The group — the largest Democratic super PAC in the country — also named new directors to steer the organization, appointments that will both cement the group’s pro-Clinton tilt and also thrust veterans of Mr. Obama’s political and fund-raising operation into the center of the post-Obama Democratic Party.​

They don't need you to like her. They just need you to be absorbed in the election fever and pull the lever for the non-republican. Which odds are most people in your shoes will do even if you personally wont.

Dems vote "D". Short of a baby eating, puppy killing, human trafficker...actually no. We have a bunch of criminal politicians in MA that get elected constantly. Democrats vote D. Simple as that. You'd probably have to eat a baby for them not to circle the magic "D".
 
No puppy killers!

Unlike you, who only votes for honest and informed ideological reasons. How superior you must feel.

I vote Libertarian as much as possible. I've also found myself voting D, and R. I read their record, vote on that. I don't vote party line.

Of course...the way the parties operate in Washington. I'd rather elect a Dem I agree with 50% of the time than a Republican I agree with 55% of the time. When that Republican gets in Washington he may be the seat that give Republicans control of the Senate/White House or House. I may agree with that individual Republican 55% of the time but I don't agree with the Republican National Platform.
 
Why is this news? Why would anyone think a liberal PAC would not support the democratic front runner?

Yes, like I said. You think you are the special snowflake who does this, and everyone else are just sheep voting for a party.

I think when the group comes right out and says that it will raise money to fend off any primary challengers it goes beyond "pro-Clinton tilt". :lol:

That was kind of my reaction. Like there wasn't going to be a big super PAC on her side...
 
Tell them they will need to double in size from what Obama did and come up with 3 times the money......not even Soros, Gates, Buffett, and All of Hollywood can save that ass this time around.

I don't think that is the problem the OP has with what they are doing. I think the problem he is having is that they are out right admitting that they are going to attempt to push any other contender out of the picture. By admitting that they are already gathering the money to do this very thing it is discouraging other contenders that don't or won't have the ability to raise the kind of money that would be required to counter them. As the OP stated, it is a bully tactic.

So, you think the urban masses in Boston actually consider anything but circling 'D'?

What's really gross to me is that they do this BEFORE Hillary announced her running. Whether forgone a conclusion as people may think, there should be a candidate before such backing should happen. Policy? They are admitting it doesn't matter. I mean, where does Hillary stand on the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement? I bet they don't have a single clue. They just back her. To me this seems to be a movement that screams how much they are scared of Republicans far more than saying how much they like a certain dem... because they don't know what she stands for. They just know she isn't GOP. It's just disgusting and blatant bullying of our governmental structure.
 
The most important issue here is the influx of big money pouring into our political system from, corporate and wealthy donors.
Just 61donors gave an average of 4.7 million each and matched the 285.2 million given by 1,425,500 small donors giving under 200 to major party presidential candidates.
Don't worry so much about which candidate wins; worry about who owns them-hint it won't be us.Unless perhaps your name is Koch, or Adelson. Thank you Citizens United for giving away our democracy.

We shall see.
 
We shall see.

Indeed we shall.....I hope she takes the bait. As we will flood her events with pics of Stevens being dragged thru the streets and then We will have her famous line of what difference does it make. Oh and the best part of it all.....that she never checked back on her people and left them hanging out to dry and die.

Which she will hear on TV and on Radio. Everywheres.....now lets see if she can shed those fake tears this time round. :lamo

America won't weather a Hillary Clinton presidency. Besides, no more Bush's or Clinton's.
