I just received this email:

I have amazing news,

Last month, we surpassed 10 million donations in 2012 alone. We made history. And we raised $181 million during the month of September. I don't think I have to tell you how huge that number is.

The more important tally, though, is the number of grassroots donors who came together last month to chip in what they can to help grow this campaign and our party's grassroots organization: more than 1.8 million Americans -- 567,044 of whom were first-time donors -- giving an average donation of just $53. And 98% of the donations were $250 and unde..r.

I find these numbers staggering. You?

Very impressive if it is true. I can say that in the last week Obama has begun running ads in PA again while I haven't seen any from Romney. It has to always be a big advantage to the incumbent in years like this because you don't exhaust small donors with a primary fight. A lot of people who donated to one of the GOP flavors of the month in the past year may not be able or willing to chip in again.
 
Romney supported say they have raised over 500 million from their billionaire friends. Now thats sickening but impressive.

Private money out of politics.

I seriously doubt the Romney campaign ever said any such thing.

The Obama campaign used software to radically alter how many followers they had on line too. I do not believe they have received millions of contributions either.

The average presidental campaign in this country costs around 5-8 million minimum.

You really should look at the Koch contributions and that asshole in vegas who said he would pay whatever it took. Then there are the Romney and GOP superpacks. No offense but your comment about lack of millions is either defensive, niave or both.
 
Wonder what he'll be using all that money for... 200mil in 2 months, damn.

I can start a successful business with that money and create about 1mil jobs.

Nothing the DEMs do staggers me anymore - they are corrupt to the core.

This from a link on Drudge.

According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.

The Obama campaign has received hundreds of millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record September donor haul of $150 million.

At the end of the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama-Biden effort was hit with a similar scandal. At the time, the Washington Post reported that the Obama campaign let donors use "largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity."

Obama did this last election - millions of dollars from overseas coming from prepaid credit cards. The same thing again - whatever $$ they need, they will get - from Soros most likely. Soros will do anything to bring down the USA - and an Obama presidency is the best shot as destroying America that has ever existed.
 
I thought I read somewhere once that he received a lot of donations from Africa in small amounts. IDK. It doesn't bother me too much. I think total presidential spending including PACS exceeds a billion per candidate these days.
 
The rumor is that there will be a big story(most likely from Newsweek or Time) concerning illegal donations to both Obama and the DNC early next week.

Really, you can create jobs at $200 apiece? Where exactly would you be creating these jobs and what would they pay because I'm betting it sure as hell can't be done in the United States even at minimum wage and no benefits.

And that rumor was no doubt another fantasy of the right just like the "birther" nonsense and yesterday's claims of statistical sleight of hand.

Maybe he can start his own network like Oprah.

The Druge Report is a right wing conspiricy theorist’s dream. I don't see how these stories get believed. There is no evidence to support them as fact.

I think the issue was and is Obama's campaign could have easily blocked the vulnerability as McCain had done but chose not to. I personally have no problem with it.

I think the issue is that the right wing media will turn any non story into a scandal. If Obama did half the things the right wing media accuses him of, he would have been impeached by now. Obama is NOT out to destroy America. He isn't a secret Muslim just waiting to take everyone's guns away. He isn't the big bad wolf.

Ah...the 'Ein schlechter Beweis bedeutet Niederlage'...classic but ineffective debate technique...

Remember the Enquirer was lambasted about reporting on the Edwards/Hunter affair...until it was found out to be true...:lamo

Is that all?

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul and Germania and part of the British Isles in order to pay for the loans he took out for his election campaigns.

Once he conquered those territories, he could tax the people there, and used them to pay back his creditors. Plutarch also said that 1 million people were enslaved during the Gallic Wars, which were sold by Caesar and his legionnaires, which was another source of wealth for them.

I highly suggest downloading the series "Death Throes of the Republic" from "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History" if you'd like to learn more about this. Much of what's happening now has already happened before.

it mostly makes me think of the good we could be doing with some of that money. however, it employs people, I guess.

That would have been nice to think of that amount of money going to some charitable organization.

You are correct it did employ some people but I have a feeling with that amount of money there is misuse of it by a lot of the campaign upper echelon.

We spent how many Billions on Wind Turbines over the last four years?


And NONE of those "Stimulus" dollars went to a single American Based Wind Turbine Factory. ALL of it went to two different Chinese Factories.


ALL, 100% of Dollar$ supposidedly spent for the purpose of helping a struggling economy went to China.


Help Whose Economy?


The Same Chinese Companies donated, though money laundering schemes such as the pre-paid credit cards, NGOs, and non-profits, a total of 30 Million dollars to the Obama Campaign.


The Democrats are Corrupt beyond all reason.


Why any Common Working person still supports them is a testiment to the advances in political indoctrination techniques.
