If she keeps loaning herself money and spending a million a day.......Do we really have to pay?

I have donated many times to Obama, and I understand that for the good of the party we have to retire opponent's debt but when is enough....ENOUGH! She is irresponsible with money. She's like a teenager that just doesn't get it. It's our money and you can't win Hillary unless you cheat or demand it be given to you......ENOUGH!!!
God, I am so :mad:

1. Good point...this makes Obama donations actually going to Clinton.
It doesn't make sense. I don't see the big need to bribe Clinton to stop her campaign. It gets worse for her every day and her only hope is an Obama scandal. It's old style politics and her reputation is at stake at this point. The next few days will indicate just how willing the Clintons are to try to destroy Obama to preserve the comeback legacy.

10. You assume those donors would donate to Obama
I think that is a bit of a stretch, at least right now.

It is their money- it doesn't belong to Obama. He is not ENTITLED to it.

Get a fucking grip.

3. No. Obama & his supporters should not be forced to pay for ammunition against himself - NO.
Let them take it out of their own personal millions to feed their overblown egos.

5. Is it standard procedure to retire an opponent's debt?
I was surprised to hear it discussed last night on MSNBC.

And if so, is that to kind of buy them off and send them on their way, or is it the 'right' thing to do?

Thanks.

7. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
In the last primarys I supported Wes Clark and he had around 200,000 in campaign debt which I donnated to help resolve. But she has been loaning her campaign money, six million, and now it is being reported that she will increase that figure to over 11 million! That's just not right!

8. It's HER money...why does it bother you? She can do what she wants with it...
Sheesh I can think of more things to get worked up about than how the Clinton's spend their money.

11.  Will Obama donations be used to retire her campaign debt?
Is it fair for her to loan herself more $$, increasing that debt just to damage the nominee??
I can ask.....It's MY money!

14. I can see retiring the debt she has to vendors, etc., but no way should Obama pay her back
for the 11.4 million she's loaned herself. That would be outrageous.

:eyes:

9. Save the rest of your supplies for the G.E.
She has virtually no chance of winning now, and she won't be able to raise enough money to keep going for long IMO

12. I trust him to spend my donations wisely. If that's what it takes, then yes.
