Question here:

Now, all this money bomb and donation stuff like that were you donate money, in this case to Ron Paul.....is going to what exactly?

Why are you giving this guy money? and what for? Not following any of this election stuff for a couple reasons. Main being it doesnt involve me. (Canadian)

Really just wanna know why your giving this fellow your money especially if/when elected youll give him more but this time with no choice.

Running for president is not cheap. TV time(commercials), radio ads, driving all around the country, employing a large staff, etc. all costs a ton of cash.

If RP would have put a dime on NE, a dime on the over and parlayed the two for the last 12 weeks he wouldn't have had to ask for any donations! LOL!

I thought you said this cat was smart!?!? LOL!

I guess that makes sense but at the same time it still doesn't get into why "you" would pay for their gas, their commercials and staff. Every time election period approaches promises are made people are fished into believing what is told to them. What makes you think Ron Paul or anyone else will live up to their promises.

If he is really for the good of the country why doesnt half that money raised go to actually bettering the nation instead of his chances of winning. **** feed the poor, shelter the homeless, medicate the sick, all stuff this money could be used to actually make a difference. This is a "me" society and donations to better his chances of succedng is another example of the "do for me" notions.

Im not hating on Ron Paul, just using him as an example since it is about him in this discussion and easy to relate too. It looks like a lot of you feel strongly about him so he must be saying something right.

It's about putting money into a man's campain that you belive can change the goverment.

Now if you really want to waste your money send some to the wicked witch of NY.

I have never understood how and why somebody puts up their own money to win a goverment seat that they can't collect back the same amount they put in.

Example. Our Sen. Jay multimillioneer Has spent more of his own money in one election than he can ever get back in a life time of pay checks.

My Dad calls it a tax write off. LOL

It is sickening the amount of money that is wasted on tv ads and all the other BS. I personally dont pay one bit of attention to them. I watch and learn from debates.

If everyone had that cynical of a viewpoint on the whole process then nobody would vote. You have to sort of sift out the lies and the truth, it's really not that hard if you watch the debates and whatnot. I believe it is illegal to fully fund your own election(it may not be though) but people(MITT ROMNEY THAT COCKSUCKER) cut checks for their own cause. I donate to Ron Paul because I feel that by putting him in office it would better our nation. I am backing something that I believe in, and I see no problem with that. You have to believe in something or what the hell are you living for? It's just how the process works. You're being somewhat extreme by saying "feed the poor with some of that money." Come on man, I know you have to be smarter than that. It would cost billions upon billions of dollars to get food to everyone that is needy, that's what social service programs are for such as medicaid, welfare, etc. It's a small thing to give him $100 to fix our nation. If he isn't elected and we keep going the same direction we are going then that $100 won't be worth **** in about 10 years due to inflation.

Note: $100 is just an arbitrary number I threw out there

[Billy Barooooooo]

I'll keep it short.
I have never donated before in my life except this year. I gave to Ron Paul because I believe in what he has to say and I do believe we need a Hugh change from the direction we are going.

If you look at the other candidates and the amount of money they are pulling in from special interest groups it makes you wounder! Ron Paul raised 4.2 million in one day! Is that a lot? No but take into account that over 35,000 people gave 100 dollars each on one day is something special! Clinton and Obama raise that in minutes from special interest and cooperations giving to there party! Its a up hill battle for Ron Paul. The media is controlled by cooperate America and the government. (A friend works for a news station and they are not allowed to talk about any candidate that isn't a front runner! Who determines this? The media!) See the media said Ron Paul was a fraud! He has no supporters. The INTERNET was all made up of bots and spamming!!!! Well I mean come on now how can you not agree! No one has heard of him. I don't have to tell you why again! Don't talk about him and maybe he will go away! Now raise 4.2 million dollars in one day and have over 35,000 people donate...........Well hell that is big news! Did you hear about it???? No I didn't think so! Why???? Cause big cooperation wants him gone! They know if he is elected president they and every other corrupt bunch of government is going to be out in the cold!

Okay I said I would keep it short, so I will end it there! What this country was built on is no more! The president doesn't even obey the Bill of Rights and the Constitution! He has taken away our freedom with out people even noticing at a blink of a eye! Why? So we can catch the bad guys! Is it worth giving up our freedom to catch these guys? If it is then Terrorist have won! We need to focus on America and securing our borders! We need to take care of our people. Policing the world is Unconstitutional! Not only that but everyday we are digging our children future further into debt! We need a change, for the future of our children!!!!!

Your right **** the poor itll cost to much to try to help them out and your telling me to come on. Give your head a shake buddy. If Ron Paul could generate 4.2 million in one day to go towards his ellection and like Billy said its nothing compared to wat clinton and obama can raise in minutes you telling me that putting it into commorcials is better than using it to actually help someone.

I have no problem with them raising money and people giving it to them but at the same time the money raised can go to so many better causes its unreal.

But your right itll just cost to much so forget about it.

[NittanyLions94]

Ok, if you want to be a total cockbag and use extreme examples, I can do that too:

- The NFL doesn't need all the money it makes, why don't they send millions to the poor?

- There are hundreds of multi-billion dollar businesses, why aren't they saving the world?

- You gamble with your money, why not send it to poor people instead?

- What about the Catholic Church? They are one of the most profitable organizations in the world, if not THE most profitable, why not send it all to poor people? Oh wait, Notre Dame needed a new athletic facility.

- To survive, athletes need probably 10% of their paycheck(being generous there) so why don't they give all their money to the poor?


You seem to have all the answers to society's problems, so help me with my questions.

LOL

1. NFL doesnt ask you to donate money and they do have charities they donate too so your 0-1.

2. Again you don't know who gives and who doesnt and at the same time there not asking you to give them money to help them succeed. Buying products is not them asking for yor money there providing you with something there and then and not just giving you their word.

3. I gamble what i could afford and at the same time give what i can to the poor, you dont know me so why do you assume. My family and I donate money, food, clothes every year to the less fortunate.

4. The players are providing a service to there team. If your company offered you millions to do what you do i dont know you but 99.9% of people would not sy your money can be better spent.

I didnt give any answers to anything in my posts above, i was simply asking wouldnt your $100 or so be better put towards someones groceries for a week instead of one candidates 30 sec commercial telling you the other candidate is not the right person to be your president.

I respect your beliefs and who you support, hell there a lot of things i could do that would go a long way to making someones life better but like most, i use my assets for myself.

Cynicism aside, no one votes anyway.

...because they are covering their asses in a gaggle of pedophile sexual assault cases! LOL!
