- subtlesquire, on 04/08/2008, -14/+458From the end of the article, "p.s.: As a side note, last year my spouse had set up automatic monthly payments to Hillary (nothing big $10/month) but after switching to Obama, had to battle with the Clinton campaign to cancel the automatic payment. I find it ironic that one campaign won't take my money, the other won't give it back!"
Hilarious! - pwssl, on 04/08/2008, -38/+294Just when I start fearing that Obama might just be too good to be true, I come across something like this... He is the REAL DEAL, people!!
- masterm1nd, on 04/08/2008, -7/+219Maybe articles like this go further than 100 dollars could have...
- richmessenger, on 04/08/2008, -22/+153I hope the rest of this country is as ready for integrity in politics as I am. We will see in November. If Obama doesn't win, I will lose a lot of faith in the American people.
- krystofr, on 04/08/2008, -4/+114I'll take your money if he doesn't want it.
- JoJoMoMo, on 04/08/2008, -8/+104Direct link to rejection letter from Obama's campaign.
http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm227/borell12/ ... - aaaleman, on 04/08/2008, -11/+91That's it. If you Americans don't vote for that man, there will be a thunderous cacophony around the world that will forever deafen your nation:
The collective slap to the shaking head of civilized society. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -9/+74Hillary would have just pocketed the cash & stay quite. Obama is honest.
- cutething, on 04/08/2008, -1/+66That's ***** ridiculous. The title of this should be Obama Didn't Want my Money and Hillary Keeps Stealing my Wife's.
- HellDonut, on 04/08/2008, -6/+63The big deal is that instead of turning their back on it and blindly accepting any money that comes they do check every donation (including small ones) to see if it's according to their policy of not accepting money from lobbyists. He was expecting to have the donation go through unchecked.
For a campaign with record donations, that's quite a feat, don't you think? - Omnianimosity, on 04/08/2008, -5/+60I was going to make a huge ass reply as to how you are a ***** jackass....but wait I've already accomplished everything i want to say here.
- Doitdifferently, on 04/08/2008, -0/+44I'd call my credit card company and tell them to stop accepting the charges. Of course my income as dropped a lot more than I expected over the 6 months so now $30-$40 can mean the difference between getting a bill paid or not. But hey at she's all for the working poor right?
- itbescott, on 04/08/2008, -10/+50Hillary needs that $30 he talks about at the end to pay small businesses in Iowa. It's her idea of an economic stimulus package.
- delmar14, on 04/08/2008, -8/+48The cynic in me thinks this might not have happened if this guy didn't have a fairly prominent blog. Obama seems genuine but I still just don't trust politicians for *****.
- undeadbydawn, on 04/08/2008, -5/+44I was deeply cynical about the reported Obama 'wow' factor, figuring that Clinton should surely be the next President, as I have hoped for many years.
I was completely wrong. They have both shown their true positions with exceptional clarity. Barack Obama should be the next President. - fishrjv, on 04/08/2008, -8/+42I will be deeply saddened if we (Americans) miss out on the chance of being led by this man.
- Aitese, on 04/08/2008, -1/+34I'm not American, I don't live in America but I'm not stupid enough to think that what happens to the biggest world powers don't affect us all. Here in the UK we are losing troops fighting a war for someone else, so I'm sure if you spoke to a British soldiers parents they'd tell you they'd like honest men/women as allies sending their kids to war for just causes.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 04/08/2008, -16/+48In next week's episode, Obama walks on water and cures cancer...
- camino262, on 04/08/2008, -4/+32Last I heard Hillary couldn't even afford to pay her staff her portion of health insurance. She sure is struggling -that shows by stalling on canceling automatic payments. Even if she does refund the money at a later date, she is getting an interest free loan from probably thousands of people. I wish I could talk my credit card company into an interest free loan!
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -4/+32For once you actually said something that was insightful instead of complete gibberish. So I dugg you up.
- KraftDinner101, on 04/08/2008, -0/+26FTA "Updated to add: I though we had finally stopped the payments to the Clinton Campaign, but after checking with my spouse, it turns out they are still taking the payments 3-4 months after we asked them to stop."
- mobbo, on 04/08/2008, -3/+28Shocking you still have faith in the American people as a whole... especially after the RE-ELECTION of Bush. That's when I lost mine.
- kent1146, on 04/08/2008, -1/+26Oh, there you go again.
We all knew it wouldn't last. - retzed, on 04/08/2008, -3/+27Lobbyists play a function in a democracy instigating public debate, mostly for honorable causes. The problem occurs when lobbies donate/bribe politicians to influence their policies, such as going to war. The point is that Obama could easily become rich off corruption like the Bush government but has the morality not to.
- sagien, on 04/08/2008, -0/+24I don't think you have any idea about what you're talking about.
- captnkurt, on 04/08/2008, -1/+24--The Obama campaign returned a $100.00 donation check to a donor with a letter explaining why.--
I got that letter, too! Let me see... Ah! Here it is!
"Unable to process transaction due to insufficient funds." - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -3/+26You can filter the categories shown on the main page. It's in the options somewhere.
- Gnasche, on 04/08/2008, -4/+26"But that what I am doing. Obama actions are living up to his words"
Unfrozen Caveman Lobbyist? - zeabu, on 04/08/2008, -0/+22He doesn't feel special.. he states the difference between Obama and Hillary (and to most politicians in a greater extend).
- Lieutenant, on 04/08/2008, -4/+25A question from a European: It's been something like the 1000th post on digg on the integrity of Obama, and all I can hear about him is praise and admiration. The question is this: How many of you are going to actually vote for him, people? How many of you are going to say "yes, I'll do it, I will get my car and drive to the election "station" (or whatever you guys call it), and I will actually spend a good hour and a half voting of the guy".
So are you actually going to vote for the guy, or are we going to witness another fascinating result the day of your elections? - parisian327, on 04/08/2008, -0/+20This is a crucial time in American history and I think most Americans know that. Therefore, if we want to talk our butts off to be sure we make the right choice for this country, then so be it. Better to talk (even if it's negative) and make our own decisions than accept whatever political crap some politicians try to shove at us.
- Coven, on 04/08/2008, -0/+20"Go look at my picture"
You mean the badly photoshopped one that Taylor Marsh posted to her website a few weeks ago hoping that it wasn't so she could parallel Obama with Bush? Yeah, that shows some real integrity on your part. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -5/+25And who can blame you for being cynical after the crap we've had to put up with these last decades. But please give *this* man a chance to win back our trust. Thanks.
- sindex, on 04/08/2008, -7/+26Obama is a decent human being, and Clinton is a filthy liar... must be Tuesday on digg.
- radix2, on 04/08/2008, -1/+19Actually, that was just a diarist on the Daily Kos - there are hundreds of 'em.
Kos is actually the one that owns and runs the blog (with help of course), but this story is just one of the little guys. - smacksaw, on 04/08/2008, -1/+19I don't even know where to start with that comment.
- smacksaw, on 04/08/2008, -2/+20I hope you remember this, because I am going to repeat it until you and everyone else like you gets it:
Hillary's supporters are against Obama because of the lies they know about him instead of the truth they don't yet know about him.
Obama's supporters are against Hillary because of the truth they know about her.
You can't convince me or anyone else to support Hillary. We know everything there is know about her and she's ***** insane. But the people who don't support Obama? We can correct a lot of the stupid *****, like he's a Muslim, supports al Qaida, NAFTA/Canada etc. And if the people still don't accept the truth once they've had to face it then ***** 'em. - smacksaw, on 04/08/2008, -1/+18Only on the internet can you have a discussion thread where one moron swears Obama is linked to Islamic terrorism/al Qaida and another says he's in the pocket of AIPAC/Israel.
None of you people know dick about anything aside from poorly made YouTube videos by people with voices in their heads. - OfficialJoe, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17As a South African, I am acutely aware of the impact and potentially disastrous consequences A new Clinton administration would have on the health of my country's economy. Also, whether American or not, it is a great privilege to live in a time where a leader with true integrity rises to lead a nation that remains key to the balance of global social, political and economic stability (or as it currently stands, instability).
- droplet, on 04/08/2008, -0/+15i agree with saigen 100%, you are just parroting divisive rhetoric, try again with less fail.
- agentbob, on 04/08/2008, -1/+16I don't think I've ever logged in to digg someone down twice before, congrats.
- laserblazer, on 04/08/2008, -2/+17In modern America, lobbyists carry suitcases full of money and little more.
- Sneezyx, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14If nothing else, an excellent example of why automatic payments, monthly or otherwise, are _never_ a good idea. What you save in convenience you more than lose in control over your finances.
- blueliquid, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14So are misused apostrophes.
(it's typos) - saxreturns, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14Obama has already indicated he would be willing to take on Republicans as advisors in his administration. Also, I second sagien's statement.
- dixonij, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14Or they could cut payments to a politician they no longer support...
- gummih, on 04/08/2008, -0/+14"Obama seems genuine but I still just don't trust politicians for *****." - I agree with you that you should never put your full trust in a politician, they must be under constant scrutiny. But so far Obama has earned at least the benefit of a doubt, I think he is by far the best candidate.
- KraftDinner101, on 04/08/2008, -1/+14Not accepting money from lobbyists is NOT showing integrity? You must be the hardest person to please. I hope you're not a HIllary support because she IS accepting money from lobbyists, in fact, the very same lobbyist that Obama refused to accept a donation from.
- maybach, on 04/08/2008, -1/+13There's an intelligent rebuttal for you.
- maybach, on 04/08/2008, -4/+16Oh dear, oh dear. You obviously don't know much about the man do you.
