Comments on: Obama's Third Quarter Haul: $20M

Edwards Reports $7M For Quarter; Thompson Raises Over $11M

Mrs. Clinton is just as corrupt as the current white house occupants:

"Bill Clinton used his influence to kill a GQ magazine story that painted an unflattering portrait of infighting in the Clinton campaign. He reportedly threatened to withdraw his co-operation on another story unless the article about his wife was dropped. The story was later killed. As well as showing the campaign''s hardball attitude, the incident also showed the huge benefits of having Bill Clinton on your side in any political contest."

As one of the many proud "everyday-American" contributors to the Obama campaign I share his audacity of hope that a grassroots political movement can uproot entrenched politicians who are in it just to win the game. This is not a game, this is the future of our country.

"The best reason to vote for Ron Paul is because his own party don''''t want him running..."

Posted by drinuk

The solution is simple. Make there be consequences. Promise to vote for Obama or whichever Democrat is nominated, if the GOP hypocrisy/censorship continues.

If he is so awful, there should be no reason to exclude the guy. He does not "stand a chance", so they ought not have anything to fear. Hand it all to the pathetic Democrats as a matter of simple cause-and-effect. The GOP will change their tune pretty fast. You just need a line in the sand. Let Obama be it -- that guy is delusional so he is perfect for the job.

He''s got Oprah Winfrey in his camp, that''s where the funds are coming from, all the people she can influence, and that''s a lot of people. Whether those funds turn into votes remains to be seen.

GOP has no one worth voting for.

[fredgrad2000]

We KNOW Obama can raise money; of course he can!! He has the largest support of the liberal elite, who have the money. But anyone who follows politics over the years knows the Democratic nominee is the one who gets the Black vote and the blue collar; centrist democratic vote; and right now, that''s Hillary, not Obama. It also shows the extreme weakness of the MoveOn.org ideology of the far left; the far left candidates cheered by the far left muster at most 50% of the democratic primary vote...Obama, Edwards - they''ll continue raising money, but this race is essentially over unless one of them can start closing the gap on the Democratic moderates and the African-American vote. Richardson had a chance to be the Hillary alternative in the center, but blew that with his hard charge left on Iraq (no one now believes that doable or smart, with Iran sitting in wait), despite his moderate positions across the remainder of the spectrum. Hillary will be the Dem nominee, and unless the GOP nominates a moderate like Giuliani or McCain, she will cakewalk through the general election just like the primaries.

What a way to get rich! Make a grand stand, then run for presidency, and what do you got?! MILLIONS OF BUCKS on your once empty pocket! WOW!

[liberalme]

There should be a cap on how much these people raise.

Hillary has over $30 million? Anyone running for president, Dems or Rebs are being bought and paid for by special interests and lobbiests, which tells us our best interest is not their main agenda.

[antoniof123]

I say that this is funny the Republicans are trying to say Ron Paul, Ron Paul, they could have put him there in the years past but instead the put a shrub. Well, guess what neo nut jobs it is too late. Go Barack, go Hillary, go John. LOL I love to really get the neocons nut jobs pissed off.

[vastr-wcon]

$20 Million - that''s a lot of watermelon and fried chicken!

.

[fairandbal]

Wow, the neo-con nut jobs are out in force on this post today....

[nolalou]

Globalist Elite? Give me break.. you Ron Paul supporters are a bunch of conspiracy theory anti-goverment nut jobs! I''ll repeat what I said before, this guy will not win a single primary, not even close!

[shanev137]

Whoever raises the most money wins.

[geneonlbk]

we have the most corrupt government money can buy. Only a *** whould allow themselves to give services for money to the detriment of his/her people.

In America we sell injustice to the rich and force it on the poor.

[marcodele]

Wow! If he raises two more million, he can trade in his wife on a younger model.

I hope he''s the nominee. He''ll be toast.

The two-party system has grown into a socially negative nation divider and bad actors are not qualified to run this country, as we saw in the 80''s under the Raygun regime. These people do not have the good of the majority in their agenda, rather the continuation of their and their cronie''s wealth seem to be the major theme of the two-party system, leaving the vast majority of the people who REALLY run this country to exist off of the leavings of their overindulgent excess''s. The term "PIG"(people into gluttoney)fits the two-party system like a $4000 Italian suit. Emerson said"A sect or a party is an elegent incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking." All you die-hard party people need to read this quote a few times. And all you indepenent thinkers out there need to memorize it.

Roan Paul? How about RuPaul???

[rayuk-2009]

It would appear that each Republican has his on narrow group of supporters. Democrats could not ask for a better Republican field. It amounts to split, split and more split. Stay home, stay home and more stay home for large groups of GOP supporters. If I''m a Paul or Thompson supporter will I put all things aside and vote for the likes of Romney, Giuliani or McCain? How split are the Evangelicals and other single issue Conservatives? Interesting to say the least....

[drinuk]

The best reason to vote for Ron Paul is because his own party don''t want him running, which considering the past eight years, tells us they are scared stiff of a honest genuine guy even if he is one of their own. Not one of the Dems is fit to clean his boots, especially Edwards and his Big Pharma buddies, Free Healthcare BS ! A ticket to print money for the Pharmaceuticals more like.
