$33,400 to attend the Obama/Clinton fundraiser yesterday and 100,000 to be a “co-chair”. Truly the dems are the “people’s party.”
I think you are confusing dems with communists. Dems generally have no problem with wealth but do recognize a trend towards extreme income disparity will eventually create problems and requires adjustments.
Besides, it’s not like they were corporations attending, just people, unlike the Republican establishment which misses no opportunity to support large corporations at the expense of working people.
Ok, I get it now. The $33,400 and 100,000 contributions are to reduce extreme income disparity. Do you think maybe some of the attendees work or own some of those large corporations?
Why is this an issue to you? Campaigns cost money and Clinton is raising what she needs to win.
This is one of the problems I have with my most outspoken republican friends recently. They aren’t consistent. We are okay when the Koch brothers raise and give money, but not when the democrats do it. We are for free trade, but not when Hillary and the democrats are for it.
Let’s just try to be a little more consistent in our beliefs and what we attack the democrats on. I’m all for going after the democrats. Just not for something that we do as well.
Because historically it’s the dems that scream about income inequality, income disparity and big corporations. Burnie says his average contribution was only $27.
Fair enough. It just rubs me the wrong way to see republicans attacking democrats for stuff we do too. Let’s focus on the differences in our policies. Just saying.
I can’t believe that you would cherry pick a poll showing Clinton tied with Trump here in Georgia. How dare you.
The snark is dropping hard this morning, I see.
Always.
Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, prominent member of the Ahab Caucus (h/t Eugene Robinson) faces a serious primary challenge today. It seems many Kansans aren’t happy when they lose their seat on the Ag Committee after 100+ years, particularly when the loss resulted mainly from the antics of their sitting rep, and they think a change would be for the better.
Millions of dollars have flowed in from the likes of Club for Growth, Americans for Prosperity, the US CoC, and fellow AC members.
In a clear sign Huelskamp is feeling the heat, he’s playing the abortion card, accusing his opponent, an obstetrician, of supporting pro-abortion groups that back Planned Parenthood and Hillary Clinton.
Anyone have insight into Kansas politics? Any chance a Huelskamp close win or loss would make other AC members behave a little better, ie, not like spoiled children?

I’ve got a friend working for Marshall. He’s extremely optimistic and thinks it’s going be close, but that’s what every campaign person says the day of the vote.
People eat fried chicken with A KNIFE AND FORK?
