"Clinton, Obama, and Edwards have taken all the money out of the race" ...... ? Oh really?

[Stinky The Clown]

This is the latest media refrain. No other candidate stands a chance because these three have sucked all the money out of the pipeline.

Bullshit.

The richest donor on the planet is limited to whatever it is the FEC says .... $2,000, is it? Whatever.

Then there's the Internet ..... and that hasn't even started.

I really despise the perpetrators of these memes, which are little more than urban myths.

1. I think it was upped to $4K

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Four-K/Schmore-K .......

The folks who plunk down that kinda money this early out have lots more $4K checks! These are the same folks who would write those campaign donation checks for $40K if the law allowed. They got lotsa money to burn .... and they're pretty much the only players right now .... that and the corporate PAC money.

3. I agree with you -- they should have REDUCED it instead

Force people to run Dean-style TRUE grassroots campaigns going after small donations.

4. It's $2100 per individual

And Husb is right. Big money people cover their bases.

5. A bunch of disinformation for us to swallow!

Will they ever fucking stop?

Heck no!

They're just getting started! :eyes:
