  2. The whining of a convicted felon. The horror of money in politics, while Hillary takes a billion in donations. Are we to presume these are all one dollar donations from the unwashed masses?

    Staff and agencies in Washington,
    Thursday 16 July 2015 02.55 BST

    "FEC filing shows hundreds of staff hired and big online operation built up, but does not include money being accumulated by super PACS

    "Hillary Clinton has spent nearly $19m and hired hundreds of staff during the first three months of her presidential campaign. In total, Clinton’s official campaign raised more than $46m from more than 250,000 contributors, according to records filed with the FEC, the US election finance watchdog.

    "About 60% of donors were women, the Clinton campaign said, and 94% of the donations came in amounts of $250 or less. The average donation was $144.89."

    LOL. Yeah, just like Jeb's one dollar donors *cough*
     
  5. "does not include money being accumulated by super PACS". Everything after this is irrelevant.
     
  6. Hey, I'm not the one feigning horror about all the money in politics.

    WOW 46 whole million, im too lazy to check but if you estimate half the country is women thats about 30 cents per woman, meanwhile the likes of Soros and the koch bros will each spend a few hundred million, and we wonder whythey get priority, LOL.

    You have data to support your $1 billion claim, even that $1 billion is coming from those super PACs? Because $46 million, mainly from women, averaging $144, is just a bit short.

    Everyone here was agreeing there is too much money in politics just a week ago, and that Citizens United was a bad development in US history.
     
  10. I've heard news story after story stating that Hillary will raise a billion dollars over the course of her campaign. Jeb probably will too, assuming he doesn't get "Trumped".
    Yep, there's too much money in the game. We wring our hands about it, and nothing changes, just like everything thing else we complain about. Ever wonder why that is?
