Hillary Clinton has a problem. Barack Obama needs something from Hillary. Together they have come up with a plan to circumvent the law and get what they both want.
Hillary’s campaign for president is millions of dollars in the hole and her big-money supporters have already given to her all the law allows ($2300 from each donor). Barack wants Hillary’s help in convincing her supporters to switch over and support him now that Hillary has ended her quest. Federal election law allows individuals to contribute the maximum to more than one candidate, so the plan is for Hillary to ask her big-money people to ante up to Barack and for Barack to use that money to pay off Hillary’s debts. In exchange then Hillary will throw her support to Barack and ask her followers to do the same.
This smells like money laundering to me. Under this plan some of Hillary’s backers will effectively be contributing twice the legal amount to her campaign.
I think you have this exactly right. Don’t you always feel a little dirty when you think enough like politicians to figure out their plans? What are they doing to us?
Yes, but I worry more about how dumb they must think we are — and we must be — to buy into their agenda. Like Bill Nelson putting all the blame for high fuel prices on greedy speculators and not accepting any himself for voting against off-shore drilling.
What they’re doing to me and you is not as bad as what they’re doing to the working poor. I’m sure it’s quite hard now on someone who has to commute 50 miles to a $12 per hour job. I can just stay home and let my big motorhome sit in the yard.
The Democrats claim to be the party of the “disadvantaged” but their policies hurt them more than the “advantaged.”
