I'm shocked. Shocked!

I'm not a Hillary supporter by any means, but it is impressive her fundraising amounts going from April 29 to April 30th.

My guess is that they had "pledged" donations that they counted, and since checks usually take about a week to clear they probably all cleared on April 30th.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-05-29 09:19:46 PM  
this is my shocked face.

 
dgc360 [TotalFark] 2008-05-29 09:20:14 PM  
also, Obama raised ~30m in April compared to Clinton's ~21m, and IIRC Obama's not in any debt.

That's fiscal responsibility.

not a lie, a prediction. she just phrased it poorly. it's all about the spin

So she was off by a few days. Why criticize her for something like this, when there are so many real reasons to oppose her candidacy?

What? That wasn't a troll. I don't do that shiat when I've been TF sponsored, it's bad form and reflects poorly upon my sponsor. And it's true - this is really a weak attempt to call out a lie, especially because she made more than 10 million within a week. Come on, this is nothing more than an opportunity to have our two minutes hate for the evening.

Just shows she would lie, cheat and steal just to win. Probably kill as well.

Yeah, I'm sure she just misspoke and miswrote when she said she raised $10 million in a day.

cameroncrazy1984: Yeah, I'm sure she just misspoke and miswrote when she said she raised $10 million in a day.

Doesn't it seem a bit odd to you though that a week later - after things had slowed down - a huge sum came in? Makes me think it was the kind of 'end of the month' thing as dgc360 pointed out. Maybe checks clearing or pledged donations that didn't go through. Unless she donated it to herself at the end of the month; but all I can find is reports of a $6.4 million loan in April from dubious blogs.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-05-29 11:02:41 PM  
I don't get the huge bump on April 30. Did that include the loan she gave herself or did something else happen on the 29th?

Looks like Natalie's the one who could use some support ...

Sorry, subby, but the "big fat lie" du jour is wearing out its welcome. It is like crying "Wolf!" in a zoo, or "The sky is falling!" during a hailstorm.

They are politicians. Get the fark over it.

Perhaps you could contact Hillary and tell her to stop making shiat up then.

{from the Redlit thread}

On another note, some folks aren't keeping up with current events:

Cash Receipts--4/1/08 thru 4/30/08
Rudy Gulliani: $563k
Chris Dodd: $384k
Joe Biden: $190k
John Edwards: $ 142k
Mitt Romney: $104k
Ron Paul: $84k
Bill Richardson: $62k
Mike Huckabee: $40k
Dennis Kucinich: $17k
Fred Thompson: $3k
I wish someone would pay me 6 figures to not run for president.

I really want to know, given the lies that she's told, like the sniper story, how can anyone honestly support her? Is Obama really that bad? Or is it really a case of "If you don't support her, you are a sexist pig?"

 
Skleenar 2008-05-30 12:30:19 AM  
Maybe she meant to say "Buchenwald" instead of "$10 million"

 
unlikely [TotalFark] 2008-05-30 12:44:13 AM  
All votes deserve to be counted, regardless of how they broke the rules. Unless they voted for Obama, in which case those damned rule-breaking voters need to have their delegates unseated.

Some folks insist on voting with their ovaries. End of story. Seriously, that is ALL Hillary has left.

Obama is swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck.

No, yours is significantly "stupider." Women make up roughly 50% of the US population. Blacks are approximately 12%. So black people voting for Obama because he's black are somehow outnumbering the number of women voting for Hillary because she's female? Without her huge support from women (half the population) and racist whites, Hillary would... well, she'd still be farking in this because her ego refuses to let her admit defeat.

Amazing that anyone could compare one of the most divisive candidates alive today (The Clintons) with someone who has brought together more people from different walks of life than any presidential candidate in modern history (Obama).

TMBGfreak 2008-05-30 01:13:26 AM  
Meh, the fact that 10 mil or so flowed in exactly a week later makes me think she was actually more or less truthful. We have plenty of legitimate shiat to call her out on. Or just spin this in that she's impeding fundraising for the general.

She lost and won't get over it, that's enough for me to hate her alone.

oh and...
Mentat: Obama is swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck.

Would be an awesome PS.

When you speak in absolutes, don't be upset when someone tells you that your comment is stupid. Both comments are equally stupid. Your denial of such a fact is testament to your lack of understanding of simple and basic logic.

 
Occam's Chainsaw [TotalFark] 2008-05-30 01:14:42 AM  
People, people. Please. Hillary Clinton currently doing the political equivalent of attention trolling. She's RLSM on a national scale. So long as we give her any attention at all, good or bad, she wins because she gets to keep claiming that she's a viable candidate. The proper response the next time someone brings up anything at all about Hillary: "Hillary Clinton? The junior senator from New York? Why do I care what she did/said? That's like asking me what Bob Menendez did with his afternoon. Can we get back to a topic that actually matters?"

I'm, unfortunately, going to have to agree here. This is, by far, the most lame criticism of Hillary I've seen here (ignoring trolls)...there are so many valid criticisms, why bother with this shiat?
