Help Retire Hillary’s Debt (+ Open Thread)

I received this invitation last night. Although I cannot attend, I will donate.

Invoking racism into the election is not about shaming whites into voting black. Invoking racism is to incite racism to make sure that the minorities vote for the minority and that they make it to the polls on Election Day.

I’m not a rich man. Retired and I live on a fixed income. I have never been a fan of hers, but if she were to bail on the Obama campaign, I would be happy to help.
As of now, I view her as an Obama supporter.

I think I will decline. Hillary has a lot more money than I have. Besides Why would I want to aid and abet someone who is aiding and abetting Obama? If the politician is going to dance then the politician has to pay the fiddler just like everyone else and right now Hillary is dancing to obama’s rap. Hillary will try and help the jerk win and I will be voting and giving my money to McCain/Palin to try and keep Obama from winning. No money left for Hill.

Sorry Susan,

I would not at this time attend any Hillary event.
I also would not give one dime to her.

I did support her heavily but no more, not with her out campaigning for Obama and based on what she did to get Governor Palin uninvited to the UN event tomorrow. I think Hillary is playing dirty pool and I for one would have to think twice about supporting her again.
The Democrats are just downright down and dirty.
The Saturday Night Live skit about the Palin family was absolutely disgusting last night though I am sure Hillary had nothing to do with that but the Democrats in general sure do.

While I cannot attend, I will donate. Hillary fought a good fight–for the people.

I do wish she would take a week off and rest though. She looked really rough at the last event she attended. I think helping Obama is taking a serious tol on her mental health and it shows in her eyes.

I love Hillary, but I think she should have Barry with his million$ and his rich friends pay-off her debt. It’s the least he could do.

I hope she, Sen. Hillary Clinton is ok. Sen. Clinton Platform is not the same as Obama’s.

I will not support Obama.

It is time for Obama to stand on his own.

Dixie,
Well said, with solid reasoning. After all, why are many of us here at NQ – Republicans, Democrats, Independents – we are people who put America first.

I will be forced into a reverse mortgage in the next 9 months. Still, I would help a patriot, and I have helped Larry Johnson, but a politician? Nyet.

Why are you insisting on retiring her debt? She is going out of her way to endorse Obama by not attending the rally against Ahmadinejad’ visit just because Sara Plaine was invited too, and now the so called Democratic Party forced the rally organizers to disinvite Paline. She is doing everything to be on the good side of “her party”.

Clinton unveils new pro-Obama effort
Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor September 19, 2008 04:53 PM
Senator Hillary Clinton announced today a new grassroots effort to get her supporters to fall in behind one-time rival Barack Obama.

“As we continue to read the headlines about our troubled economy, the stakes of this election only get higher. Today I am asking all of you to hit the phones, hit the road, and spread the word that we must elect Barack Obama President and we must send a filibuster-proof majority to Congress,” Clinton said in a statement.

“This is a call to action. We all have a role. And there is not a moment to lose,” added Clinton, who is attending a private event today in Boston. “Tell them that Hillary sent you.”

The effort is being organized by Clinton’s political action committee, in conjunction with Obama’s campaign and other Democratic campaigns, and will launch Saturday morning at her PAC’s website, where there will be information on canvassing, phone banking, blogging, and other activities.

Each weekend, the effort will focus on a different battleground state, starting Sept. 27-28 in New Hampshire. Pennsylvania is scheduled for Oct. 12-13. She won both states during the primaries.

Besides Why would I want to aid and abet someone who is aiding and abetting Obama? ”

Ditto. If McCain wins then maybe I will go back to helping Hillary but not before.

Sorry SunsanUnPC, but as long as she supports Obama, she does not get a dime from me. I adamently supported Hillary in the primaries, but my efforts are now going to be for John McCain and Sarah Palin. Besides, since Hillary is on the Obamaphalooza bandwagon now, why doesn’t she ask her new friend to retire her debt and let those of us who need it keep our own money?

I did send money to help Senator Clinton retire her debt, during the July 4th push, and have wondered if it ever made it to her or not. That is the problem for me, is is she getting the money, how to be sure now. I don’t trust that the DNC or the O campaign won’t stick their grubby fingers in it.

I find that I have not bought the tapes of their last speeches at the convention, namely as I find them repulsive. I would pay if they had a CD or DVD of the Pablo rally, Neptune, Adams Field house and the Stevi rally.
That was when I was trying my best to get her elected, back when I thought I was still a democrat after decades of supporting in that manner at the polls but not from my pocket book or spending time on the phones trying to get out the vote.
What I had realized early on that this year I was a Clinton Democrat or McCain and his running mate was my choice. I would not have voted for her in the VP position as she had more value as a Senator from NY as a flunky for BO. I believe Larry Sinclair I do not trust BO and hopefully people will open their eyes and hearts and give us John McCain and Sarah Palin, they love America as much as Hillary does.

Barack Obama and the DNC should retire her debt. I am not contributing anymore money to Hillary at this time.

Nothing changes. It’s always Hillary’s fault even amongst her so-called supporters, and no matter the circumstances. She fought for us until the bitter end and endured more shit than any male politician has ever had to endure during a primary. She also put herself on the line financially and politically, in order that we would discover the fraud obama truly is and this is the thanks she gets?!

John Lennon was right…”women are the niggers of the world.”

Take your anger and frustration out on Obama and the DNC, not Hillary.

When will Hillary stop paying the price for what the patriarchy, in its infinite wisdom, did to the democratic party?

Clinton Fan says:

“There are few times I wish this forum had an IGNORE feature–this is one of them. You should take your GOP loving ass off to the RNC, you’d be happier there, I suspect.”

Doesn’t this sound like an Obot troll?

… and no, thank you, think I’ll stick around. I love NQ, the best anti-Obama site on the internet.

What you should do is get your sorry ass off to the place where Dean, Pelosi and Reid rule. Not here.

Mccain/palin still do accept money. It does go to them for a compliance fund. For travel and it goes to mccain’s victory pac.
All for his campaign and grassroots.
So he does accept money and it does go to him.
I would love to help hillary but i donate over 200 dollars to her which was alot to me.
I have to work getting mccain elected. My money i would rather send to him and the rnc to punish the dems and bring down the evil empire Reid and nanyc built.

HEY, with everything Hillary has done and is doing for Backtrack Obama, where is he on paying off her debt might I ask?

Ohhhh wait, I forgot, BB expects everyone to do and give for HIM, but he doesn’t believe in helping anyone but himSELF.

I supported and campaigned for Hillary during the primary. I donated to her campaign. I, like Hillary and many of her supporters, suffered through the sexism and abuse thrown by the Obama camp.

While I understand the political realities of Hillary standing behind Obama, it still troubles me. It is difficult to write another check to Hillary because all I can think is that she supports Obama, who is sexist and misogynist.

Obama and Obama’s Democratic Party will never, NEVER help Hillary. She will be blamed if he loses, and never be credited if he wins.

if i actually new where my money was going i might decide to give…have given in the past when she was running and when she was forced to quit hussein was going to fix it for her…well he sure did huh? so as of then i have not given to any party but i will vote for mccain..

Wow so few posts on this thread to actually help Hillary. Wonder why? Could it be that the VAST VAST majority of people posting on this blog are just trying to incite dem on dem violence and they hate Hil with a passion? I think so.

I gave yesterday, but I didn’t understand the $20.12 figure at first–just not thinking. I trust Hillary’s political instints way more than my own. I will continue to help her, though she is working for O. I think that is part of her strategy. Remember, if we want something in 2012, she will also need some of the bots behind her–especially the latter liberal type.

You mean that debt isn’t retired yet? Why not?

To hear you PUMAs tell it, Sen. Clinton was the choice of a majority of Democratic voters. Why, then, are they leaving her in the lurch?

Unless, of course, they realize that Hillary knew the “delegate math” was insurmountable… yet she continued to spend millions. She made that choice. Now she wants her supporters to bail her out? And she wants Obama’s supporters to pitch in?

Nope, sorry, ma’am. My spare dollars are going to Brave New PAC.

Does anybody know how much is still missing? I remember that a PUMA guy once claimed that they were close to settling her debt. What happened?

I wonder if Obama has held his finger in the wind long enough.

Senator Clinton’s road ahead will be a difficult one.

I was a late supporter of Hillary after Edwards dropped out. I came to respect and appreciate her as a woman and skilled politician. But I will not support anyone who is actively campaigning to get Obama elected. My monetary support goes to the only team that can keep Obama out of the WH. Go, McCain/Palin.

Nope wont give another dime to Hillary, my last donation was the winning t-shirt but no more. I don’t see the Kennedy’s, the Kerry’s, or Edwards plugging for Obama all over the place, but Hillary is.

All the people who were so vocal during the primaries as to why Hillary should not win or be Obama’s VP how come they are not on the road, or talking to the media as to how wonderful Obama is? but Hillary is

So no not one dime, if she took a stand and let Obama run his own race because if the shoe was on the other foot Obama and Michelle was not coming out there to fix the black vote for Hillary am 100% sure of that, so nope no more money for Hillary.

My son lives in NYC, but cant afford a ticket to the Hillary benefit on Monday. I would have been happy to buy him a ticket. But he is on the fence over Obama, so I would be afraid that someone at the affair may be serving koolade.. Hillary needs to cease and desist any furthur stumping for The One.

With so much time and effort Hillary has been giving to the campaign of Obama, how come she is not getting any financial help from him?

Something is very wrong here.

Maybe she should ask McCain to help her instead. Maybe McCain will try and help her retire her debt. She is not getting anywhere with Obama.

Hillary has been doing all she can to counter the popularity of Sarah Palin and convince all who voted for her to support Obama. Unfortunately, she is not getting any help from either Obama or the DNC. What is happening here?

The devotion of Hillary to DNC and Obama seem to be a story out of a Barry Manilow song.

Please Sen Clinton, wake up! Country above party.

I have also contributed a lot to Hillary to a point where my wife is keeping my credit card away from me.

I am slowly getting dismayed be Hillary’s actions lately. He is so devoted to Obama and DNC in spite of the fact that she knows who the real Obama is.

Sen Clinton, please rise above politics and support the best person for the country. Country above party!

I’m totally baffled by this debt. How much is it?
Why is it a mystery? How much has been paid off since she suspended her campaign.

We were told that money given up to the DNC convention could be put toward her primary debt then
it was over for payment of that debt.

What is this money being requested being used for?
They said after the convention all money would go to
her 2012 senate or yet to be seen presidential race.

How much was raised by Pumas? What happened to Will
and his 6-10 million dollar assertion of money raised
for her debt?

Lots of questions asked over and over again and no
answer. I went on that fec.gov site and there was
no record of me donating $200 to her campaign. Wonder
why?

The invitation came too late for me to make arrangements, but I have been sending her $$ and plan to continue. I sure wish I could be there. She’s my hero. Like everybody else here, I love her

Oh – ’scuse me – you DON’T love her? Well I do and I’ll keep helping her with the debt. She’s the one with the only people-based recovery plan, btw. The other plans are bank-based.

I just donated $25 to help retire Hillary’s debt. Before, I never felt sympathy or related to Hillary at all, but actually was turned off and was disgusted how she came across, as talking down as if the public should rely on elected leadership or government instead of carrying equal authority, responsibility and credit, in order to reduce dependence on government that invites bureaucracy, abuse and waste. I feel this is the first request for money that has truly been honest. So I wanted to recognize that and reward it. All the previous promises were meaningless to me of reforming health care by top-down legislation, which is backwards, where effective programs must be proven first by example before public policies and funding can follow from successful working models. Real solutions are built from the ground up. I doubt Hillary has truly known what it is like to struggle to rebuild from below zero, until she took this incredible loss and blow to her ego. It is terrible to suffer in a position of feeling unjustly denied votes that would have won her the nomination, while portrayed negatively in the media to emphasize the worst perceptions while ignoring her best strengths, but then having to endorse someone she must resent whom the media plays up as a favorite while glossing over faults, which they would not do for her. That is a lot to forgive and a real challenge to anyone’s faith in justice and the policial process. It is painful, and I do not envy her, though it is good for her as a person to be humbled this way, or else God would not have her go through this setback. Though I can only afford to give in a small way, as I already have my own debts from lending to working women struggling with financial crisis, I still wanted to offer encouragement. It is never easy for anyone, even someone seen as strong and as powerful as Hillary, to recover from such a deeply disappointing and heartbreaking loss after being so certain, to give all that up and keep moving forward. Best wishes to Hillary and all supporters. I look forward to working with you to build programs that offer equal opportunity for women and minority leaders to prove their track records so they can run for public office on positive campaigns instead of relying on negative competition for money and power.
