Unfortunate HassleCat Jan 2017 #2

PA had too big a margin to qualify in the normal way, no matter who filed it. pnwmom Jan 2017 #3

Sorry keeping the money shows what she is...and never forget she helped elect Trump and is way to Demsrule86 Jan 2017 #131

Hey folks.. FarPoint Jan 2017 #58

Screwed and used HRC, then made her getaway with the loot. democratisphere Jan 2017 #4

The Democrats could run the second coming of Paul Wellstone with Maru Kitteh Jan 2017 #5

Yep. Stein is a tool of the right wing. nt SunSeeker Jan 2017 #6

That is a really interesting article -- and quite prescient. Thanks. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #11

This is exactly what is happening here in the US. yardwork Jan 2017 #34

They have been doing that here in Europe for 50 years DFW Jan 2017 #127

Wouldn't that mean that Al Gore and John Kerry had "ties to Russian interests" too? PotatoChip Jan 2017 #130

remember that Nader held off supporting Wellstone for a long time in 2002 JI7 Jan 2017 #17

she is dumb AlexSFCA Jan 2017 #8

She isn't dumb if she LET herself get played. pnwmom Jan 2017 #9

Nope. She's dumb like a fox, and she is playing American voters hoping for better. Hekate Jan 2017 #13

she is a fraud and opportunist AlexSFCA Jan 2017 #111

This just makes me sick. The Green Party is not worth diddly squat. I can remember .... Hekate Jan 2017 #12

No, I don't think so. When she was collecting her millions, she always said pnwmom Jan 2017 #14

Jill Stein is a hero. So is Ralph Nader. Your arguments are specious. diva77 Jan 2017 #15

We've known repugs game electronic voting for at least since Bush and the Diebold non-paper... brush Jan 2017 #16

stein lied to the America People.. she is a Liar. Cha Jan 2017 #18

She's an anti-hero. If she'd been serious, she wouldn't have waited till after the PA deadline pnwmom Jan 2017 #19

Excellent post!!! Docreed2003 Jan 2017 #59

In addition, she would spend non voting years Blue_true Jan 2017 #109

Jill Stein stepped in to help computer scientists & election lawyers who couldn't get Hillary to ask diva77 Jan 2017 #115

Hillary knew they couldn't qualify for the PA recount because the margin was too big. pnwmom Jan 2017 #116

Great...more "proof of voter fraud" based on exit polls, along with jmg257 Jan 2017 #32

That article is based on an incredibly stupid premise mythology Jan 2017 #60

No, they are grifters. hunter Jan 2017 #96

Did you forget a sarcasm smiley? Hekate Jan 2017 #114

She is the only candidate that fought for a recount HoneyBadger Jan 2017 #20

She had enough for her recounts with the first $2.5 million she raised, pnwmom Jan 2017 #23

No. Wisconsin alone had a filing fee of $3.5 million. scipan Jan 2017 #100

She could have spent the money she had designated for PA pnwmom Jan 2017 #106

How could $2 million cover the WI $3.5 million filing fee, even if she pulled out of PA? scipan Jan 2017 #107

Her original website request was for $2.5, which would have covered almost all of that. pnwmom Jan 2017 #108

Plenty of us were calling this a shameless cash grab while it was taking place. EL34x4 Jan 2017 #21

Yes indeed oberliner Jan 2017 #25

And yet no one has proven this WAS a "cash grab" and fact she did get recounts going in multiple KittyWampus Jan 2017 #77

I'd rather she has money left than no attempt at recounts and left wondering what could have been. uncle ray Jan 2017 #22

Not me. Desperate Dems just helped to bankroll her 2020 campaign. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #26

Her recount was a scam from the begining. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #30

She is a liar and a con artist, just like Trump oberliner Jan 2017 #24

Just like Palin atreides1 Jan 2017 #27

I understand why people wanted to believe. Starry Messenger Jan 2017 #28

She flat out scammed people. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #29

I hadn't heard about that. But it sounds like something she'd do. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #31

Her second plea on her website, on day two, she linked directly to two other groups. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #33

Wow. I wonder if those donations had to be reported anywhere. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #37

I took screen grabs of them from her website. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #39

Okay, so I get the anger at the green party. Glamrock Jan 2017 #35

We can't. But maybe we can get purist-leaning Dems to think twice. pnwmom Jan 2017 #38

And, don't get me wrong I agree, but how? Glamrock Jan 2017 #41

I have enough vitriol left in me to include her, too. Maybe I'd feel differently pnwmom Jan 2017 #42

Yeah I get it Glamrock Jan 2017 #48

And yet the OP is about smearing Stein regarding donations for the recount. KittyWampus Jan 2017 #75

At what point do we hold them responsible for their own vote. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #40

Yes -- that's exactly what she did. Because those recounts didn't turn up anything, pnwmom Jan 2017 #43

+1 nt NCTraveler Jan 2017 #46

Again, not saying you're wrong.... Glamrock Jan 2017 #45

Please show me my "furious anger at the GP". NCTraveler Jan 2017 #47

Okay, you didn't personally say that Glamrock Jan 2017 #49

I don't speak for the community. Only myself. NCTraveler Jan 2017 #67

Damn, I wish I could keep it all straight: truebluegreen Jan 2017 #44

My brother and his wife... orwell Jan 2017 #52

Well, at least they learned their lesson. Glamrock Jan 2017 #54

They are assuming they can ever vote again. LisaL Jan 2017 #64

Just out of curiosity, where do they live? truebluegreen Jan 2017 #65

9/11 taught me the same lesson sweetloukillbot Jan 2017 #91

If they live in a swing state, they were really stupid MrPurple Jan 2017 #104

That why it is said of Third Party Candidates: CajunBlazer Jan 2017 #123

Democrats gave her a lot of money under false pretenses oberliner Jan 2017 #53

Hillary endorsed the effort iirc. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #61

Hillary didn't endorse the effort. LisaL Jan 2017 #63

Oh sorry--it was only her campaign team. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #69

Big deal. After Stein started the effort, Hillary's team was going to participate LisaL Jan 2017 #76

Yeah, words mean nothing. As ever. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #94

People here we claiming they were happy to do it, even though some of us tried to warn them. LisaL Jan 2017 #62

The caliber of Jill Stein's character will be sealed as we watch how the money is spent. SticksnStones Jan 2017 #50

Of course she does ismnotwasm Jan 2017 #51

There is a danger Uponthegears Jan 2017 #66

Why are you repeating Trump's talking points? truebluegreen Jan 2017 #70

He stole my talking point. I recognized this as a scam before he said that. pnwmom Jan 2017 #73

I guess the point is the two of you agree, truebluegreen Jan 2017 #132

If DT said today was Monday, apparently you would feel obligated to disagree. pnwmom Jan 2017 #134

Nope, I wouldn't. truebluegreen Jan 2017 #135

Just demonstrating your logic. And maybe you should look up pnwmom Jan 2017 #136

stein voters really didn't mind a trump victory and stein is more than happy to keep the money beachbum bob Jan 2017 #71

Why do you twist the issue by including Stein's votes? That has NOTHING to do with the recount. KittyWampus Jan 2017 #72

This message was self-deleted by its author LisaL Jan 2017 #79

No, she didn't. No recount occurred in PA, so she kept the $2 mil she had raised pnwmom Jan 2017 #81

What's really sad is that Democrats were so desperate for SOMEONE to fight this stolen election Tatiana Jan 2017 #78

Gore lost by less than a 1,000 (if he lost at all). LisaL Jan 2017 #80

I appreciate your response. Al Gore didn't lose. Jeb rigged the Florida results for his brother. Tatiana Jan 2017 #87

There was so many issues with FL vote. Hanging chads, butterfly ballots. LisaL Jan 2017 #90

Hillary has always been a realist, and she doesn't take advantage of desperate people. n/t pnwmom Jan 2017 #82
