fordfan - I personally think its crazy that any party should be able to fund raise for the amounts of money they are receiving for the presidential election or any election for that matter. My point was that the attacks had started against Ryan for giving $10k to Romney from one fund to another so I pointed out that even our current President was the most guilty of all in regards to collecting insane amounts of money for his election. I don't vote party lines and vote only for the ones who have a plan I agree with and actually explain what that plan is and how to make it happen. I steer clear of the used car salesman type, who only talk about change and promising to lower taxes since that's the biggest scam in the book from politicians. At some point both sides need to look in the mirror and accept responsibility for causing all the BS. No one party got us into this mess and no one party will get us out of it either.

RAF...mormans????? your funny! LOL

I prefer mormaids myself.

Love the libs talking, or squaking, about mormans. They never bothered to complain about their own Harry Reid, the guy who runs the US Senate and is a morman. Typical of the fringe left.

Crony Capitalism at it's worst...proof the courts have been bought.

spark, you're just upset with me at the moment because I pointed out how you were stereotyping people as you were making a comment about how other people stereotype. You'd think as active as you are on this site that you would have by now read my NUMEROUS comments about the ECONOMIC ELITISTS that control this country and I make absolutely no distinctions between Democrats and Republicans in that context.

My only comment here (other than pointing out how you were stereotyping liberals and Democrats) was, in totality, "It's going to cost more than that." How is that even remotely a partisan comment?

poobah - No, just the usual liberals on this website. You being one of them. The usual crowd. The ones naive enough to believe both sides don't play the money game.

fordfan - did you expect him to give the money to Obama? LOL.

What's wrong with giving 10 grand to the local food bank???????moron

Didn't Bill Mahr just give Obama's SuperPac 1 million dollars not to long ago? why are people getting worked up over 10 grand?

wax on wax off

not a Soros option - it is ours. so now do you agree? Still awaiting a real response from you, spark and gonfo.

you don't listen to Rush? Did he tell you to say that?

fordfan: Get Soros to agree and then we'll see.

spark said, "What is it that makes liberals lump people into various stereotypes? The majority of democrats on this website do it on a daily basis."

You mean like you just lumped liberals together?

onedayatatime - What is it that makes liberals lump people into various stereotypes? The majority of democrats on this website do it on a daily basis. After all, this is what my response was to. Those that assume all republicans are rich. That republican politicians only receive money from the wealthy. You are an independent? Good for you. Your posts however certainly favor the left and not the right views, so I think you may be a little slanted. No problem though. Maybe you can educate some of the democrats that don't understand the obvious on here. As far as you being more informed than me? I don't listen to Rush and the others you mentioned. That little phrase is another overused line from the left. Similar to the right mentioning Jesse Jackson and Sharpton, etc. If you read some of my other posts, you see how I feel about all of them. I am more educated than that. I research plenty, back up my arguments and openly admit to being a Republican.

pauly is getting fitted for his magic undies..

Obama not U.S. born? Yeah, keep drinking the wacko cool aid.........duh

@ spark..What is it that makes conservatives lump people into various stereotypes? I am not a Democrat, I am an Independent but I am not so ignorant to believe that people should all be classified under one label and assuming everyone under that label is exactly alike. I am also aware that there are very wealthy people who contribute to Democratic campaigns. I do not believe that all wealthy people are Republicans. I also do not believe that money falls from the sky, your ignorant statement. The definition of ignorance is uninformed. I spend a minimum of 2 hours each day researching the issues. I refuse to use partisan/biased sites. The only sites I use are the CBO, Poltifact. BLS, Whitehouse papers and Project Vote Smart. I will read blogs for an opinion but I also will only read blogs that cite their sources and I then check out those sources. I would bet I am much more informed than you. I would also bet that you believe you are the most informed, repeating Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity verbatim, you are actually MISinformed. Why don't you research the issues and inform yourself instead of continuing the stereotypes and misinformation you've been fed.

Regarding Republican vs. Democratic fund raising....now let me think about any recent elections where the Republicans and the Democrats raised significant funds. Oh yes, the gubernatorial recall election here in Wisconsin where Republicans outspent the Democrats about 7 or 8 to one even though the Democrats apparently our raised the poor down and out Republicans. Got it! The Republican money must have come from somewhere like rain from heaven maybe.

So if the Democrats raise so much money and the poor, unfortunate, down and out Republican's such as the Koch Brothers don't like it, getting a constitutional amendment to fix the problem that the citizens united ruling created should have broad appeal and easily get passed. Spark, usaret and gonfo, please acknowledge that you agree with the amendment idea to get some of this secret money out of politics and even it up for the poor unfortunate, down in their luck Tea Party Republicans like DH. I am awaiting your response.

Hey PAUL RYAN - After you are done giving your money away -- Please --
Read The article because MANY Evangelical Pastors AGREE that -
"Mormonism Is A Cult, Mitt Romney Is Not A Christian" If you are a Christian, best to think who you are voting for.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/evange...

career politician, I thought that was bad? huh?

GP - Ryan is "priming the pump" I suspect.

usaret - That's because the left wingers actually believe their party takes no money from the rich. They believe their contributions and funds fall from the sky like magic. No democrat is rich in their eyes because they are literally blinded with ignorance. It's actually comical when you think about it. That someone could be that naive. Yikes! Newsflash..check the recall list on some of those that owed the most in backed taxes. They were loaded democrats. LOL.

If Ryan was to be the VP choice, and has say a million for his re-election as a Rep, wouldn't he throw more money at Willard? Or is Ryan waiting?

Gonfo5: Noticed how the Left wingers didn't comment on your facts. Seems they are blind to what wonder brother does and how he gets his campaign money. Keep reporting the facts and eventually some might soak in to sheep on the Left.

If he gave $360,000, Romney would say that it was "not very much money",
so I can't see how $10,000 is going to get much attention.

oldtimer, don't let my comments consume your life.

Poobah, why don't you get a life, politics consume your life, there are so many great things to do that don't cost anything.

A mere case of Wine won't buy Paul much in Romney's world...
Nice try though....

What a waste! Ryan could have received more political clout by donating his $10K to ECHO.

Wow the republican's have a long way until they catch up with what Obama has raised for his campaign. To date, Obama has raised $255,162,109.00 for his campaign and Romney only $121,023,126.00. Seems a little fishy to me since according to most who post on here only republican's are allowed to be rich and prosper. Romney's fund doesn't even equate to half of the supreme being's fund! How about attacking Obama for a while about how many kids he could feed with what he raised. I'll give him this, he's a pathetic excuse for a president, but he should become a fund raiser for a charity or something along that nature, because he's really good at raising money for his cause!

Call Sarah Jessica Parker!

Yes because the land of Obama is working so well for everyone.

Sing it with me folks:
People.....helping people
er, wait a tick
let's try this again
Rich people.....helping rich people....

More where that came from...he has a personal friend. All you need to do, Mitt, is promise to outlaw collective bargaining, get rid of Social Security, do away with Medicare, make sure she gets all appropriate (and some inappropriate) government contracts and promise to have security keep the poor, the sick, the lame, the peasants, the beggars and the under class away from the carriage as they survey their kingdoms.

It's going to cost more than that.

"Political fund run by Ryan gives $10K to Romney," ... a man bites dog story.
