quantass Donating Member (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-30-08 05:37 AMResponse to Original message3. Interesting..however, i'd think it would SPIKE it since... people would be more infuriated that things are going south and want to ensure we do get out of this mess before they finally do feel it in their wallets. Some times you need a crisis to shake people into action.

I listened to NPR asking for money today, and thought they would suffer ("what's a dollar a day?" they ask, on a day when their prime donors just lost thousands). But my feeling about donating to the campaign is different - just makes it more urgent to win. We're still giving.

A DUmmy and his money are soon parted.....as per the usual.You know, I dunno.During the 1970s and 1980s, wasn't it the Democrats, liberals, and pre-primitives the ones always griping about the influence of money on political campaigns, and that it would be a good thing if money was less important?Now, why is this such a good thing?You know, a taxidermized stuffed primitive would make a great weather-vane.
Yeah, but this is different.......and I don't know whether I would want one for a weather vane or not.
Beats me how all these poor, poor people, so many who say they are on assistance, could be able to donate to so often. Should Ohblowme win it's going to be a very sad affair on the Island when they're not all lifted to nirvana on earth and all the guns aren't thrown into the sea.
