Comments on: Dems Raised Millions Each Since Tuesday

Barack Obama Has Raised $7.2 Million Since Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton $6.4 Million

[sjbj2322]

Yesterday Obama made the statement that he doesn''t believe that Hillary can win over his supporters but he feels confident that he can win over hers. HE IS WRONG! I, nor any of my former disenchanted Republican or Independent friends and many Democrats who currently support Hillary will vote for Obama. If the only choices given us are Obama and McCain - we will vote McCain. Why? Because we''d rather live with the consequences of dealing with the truth of who someone is and what they stand for than risk the fate of this nation on someone led by hopes and dreams. At that point we will reassert our attention on who we send to Congress knowing that the authority vested in the President is greatly aided or hampered by Congress. See we know the process. The people who vote for Obama are the same ones that will throw their hard earned cash (or their parents hard earned cash) on lotto rather than rolling up their sleeves and doing the hard work that''s actually required to effect change.

Can any of you Obama supporters name one thing that he is going to do for this country? He is a socialist like most democrats. Do we realy want someone who is for the errosion of our freedoms? I guess you don''t mind paying huge amounts of money in taxes to create more of a welfare state. Anyone who is a lover of freedom can''t pull the lever for Obama. What experience does he have to fix this economy the is broken? None that I a aware of.

Have any of these zealots read Obama''s books. Did they miss the lines where he stated that from the age of 13 he did everything in his power to disassociate from the family that raised and supported him to embrace an "idea" of what it is to be a black man in America. Did they read where he commited himself to not being ingratiated by whites yet he panders for their votes. This is a man that has so little knowledge of what effects the lives of Hispanics, Asians, the poor, etc., that he has to lean on the endorsement of other politicians for such understanding. WHY? Because this man is a man who is still in the process of trying to find himself and yet we''re supposed to believe that he has the answers for fixing the problems of this nation. There is sooo much truth to the notion that the Office of the President is not a place for obtaining on the job training.

Wooo-hooo! Isn''t it just validation of so many of the claims made about Obama supporters that they lack the knowledge and experience to provide a critical analysis of the issues or candidates. I''m not sure that I would be so proud to admit that I''ve never before taken seriously the responsibility that confronts all Americans when it comes to the process of electing those who espouse to lead this country when they openly acknowledge that they''ve never before exerted their civic responsibility to become involved in affairs that effect the lives of so many. Maybe that explains why they can''t get past all the cult-like political hype and do the hard work of examining the candidates and their issues beyond listening to one side''s very biased perspective. "Yes We Can" - SHOOT You could have all along!

As a GOP member I do support John McCain. I also like what I see in Obama. Why can''t we have a Democrat run for vp? IF that awful woman gets the Democrat nomination-God Forbid-Obama would be a great running mate for McCain. Obama is a leader, it shows in all the pictures and how he presents himself. Hillary appears and acts like a manipulator. She is an awful person!! So is her philandering husband. they both look like white trash, and have "ham" shaped faces!!!

Democrats need to vote for Obama. He would have mine if I could vote in their primary.

I felt a little guilty defecting from Hillary,thought I liked her, and didn''t want to make her cry again. No regrets now. I think he is the real deal. Sorry Hillary.

[notopennshut]

craigh9-you gotta be joking! Their coffers will always get filled by people such as that canadian businessman, the sleeze from Kazakhstan, including his president and others from the same category. Now tell me you don''t believe that they have managed to amass millions and millions over the last few years by just being a "normal and upright" citizen. All this loot has been since they left the white house too. It''s just that they don''t want to spend any of their own money and instead, they are calling on us, the everyday working men and women to send in our hard-earned cash to support them. Go figure.

Well......we''ll see how the wind is blowing in November.

[jedi08]

Hillary will unite the Republicans who are less then happy about McCain. Obama will not only have Republicans not voting but some will vote for him. Plus you can''t go negative on the guy, there isn''t much there except for racist people making up *** about him being a terroist or stuff like that.

If Obama wins the nomination he will win the election by 20 points

[david1737]

I was waiting for a defining moment. It came on the night of the South Carolina Primary. It was then that I recognized Obama as the great leader that he is.

What the USA needs above all is leadership and Obama is the one!

[voter1111]

lol@mediapreacher. :)
Gotta say I think he/she is right. He''ll never make it all the way. If he makes it past Hillary, you can bet the Republicans will dig up his whole past, family history as well as lack of experience. Ultimately tho.....the Muslim thing will be all over the place..........

[craigh9]

Those of you asking Hillary to quit and just go home please don''t do it too quickly. I''d like to see her spend many many more millions of her own dollars till she gets to the level of the middle class that she and her husband have screwed over for years.

Barack Obama is my senator and he is a remarkable leader. He is not a typical politician. He can and will inspire unity and solve problems.

[approvedcbs]

Barack used Super Tuesday to force Hillarys campaign to the edge of bankruptcy, while he generates a fund raising bonanza. Barack is a very shrewd campaigner.

[oldabeeagle]

Obama is getting his money from hard working people like me. $50 at a time. I am no elite. I am an older person her cares about the future and our children.

[talkingham]

Looks like the republicans are going vote and fund Obama so we will truly have a one-party system.

[edit] Criminal and Civil Prosecutions
Two provisions of the MCA , MISERY HILLARY GOT THIS PAST INTO LAW...WHY

First, the MCA changed the definition of war crimes for which US government defendants can be prosecuted. Under the War Crimes Act of 1996, any violation of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions was considered a war crime and could be criminally prosecuted. Section 6 of the Military Commissions Act amended the War Crimes Act so that only actions specifically defined as "grave breaches" of Common Article 3 could be the basis for a prosecution, and it made that definition retroactive to November 26, 1997. The specific actions defined in section 6 of the Military Commissions Act include torture, cruel or inhumane treatment, murder, mutilation or maiming, intentionally causing serious bodily harm, rape, sexual assault or abuse, and the taking of hostages. According to Mariner of Human Rights Watch, the effect is "that perpetrators of several categories of what were war crimes at the time they were committed, can no longer be punished under U.S. law."[32] The Center for Constitutional Rights adds:

The MCA%u2019s restricted definitions arguably would exempt certain U.S. officials who have implemented or had command responsibility for coercive interrogation techniques from war crimes prosecutions.
. . . .
This amendment is designed to protect U.S. government perpetrators of abuses during the "war on terror" from prosecution.[33]

Wooo-hooo! I, like so many other Obama supporters, have never given a dime to any campaign, EVER! Never got involved! Never cared! But every 4 years I had to drag my sorry self down to the polls and vote for somebody that was less repulsive than the other guy. I''m so thrilled to give some of my hard earned $$ to help Obama out!!

[chitown639]

Looks like Mitt Romney is dropping out today!!!

[mediapreachr]

Just for your information-Obama will never be president.
But keep sending those hard earned money-it will end up in deserving hands(special mention goes to college age kids-we like your allowance money).
