In reply to the discussion: Romney says Fuck You to entire staff.......Really! [View all]hfojvt

I wouldn't do a thng for HRC, although I thought about getting an autographed copy of her book, for my mom (who doesn't like Hillary either).
I did a fair amount of work for Boyda, and even donated (and got three t-shirts).
My point is that they got paid to do what I did for free. I did not get any paid hotel rooms or rental cars or cabs.
If they were just in it for the money, then I am not sure I want them on my side either.
I probably would not be happy to be stiffed out of some of my pay, especially by a rich candidate like Romney, or Clinton, or Grayson, but on the other hand, I would be happy to be paid at all for some of the stuff I do for free.

I've changed my mind after listening to what the GOP is up to today. He was setting an example.
