Last month, Hillary loaned her campaign $6.4 million! Before that it was $5 million. Unlike Obama, who has the support of the people, she has to finance her own campaign.

Isn't this a way of undermining democracy? Every American is allowed to contribute a maximum of $2,300 per election. A primary and general election are regarded as two seperate elections. So the most an individual can throw away on Hillary is $4,600. Yet, Hillary is allowed to "lend" over 11 million dollars to her MI: 2008 campaign. Is she not a citizen? Why is she allowed to contribute millions of dollars to a campaign when the rest of us can only give $4,600.

Multi-millionaires clearly have an extreme advantage over normal candidates. This undermines our democracy. Just for that alone Hillary should be stopped. A vote for Hillary is a vote for cheating and undermining democracy.

From what I've heard, it looks like Hilary will be dropping out of the election soon anyway. Guess that proves money doesn't always get you everywhere :)

True, but that doesn't change the fact that other multi-millionaires will be able to undermine our democratic process in 2012..or 14...or 16. We have to stop allowing rich candidates from buying their way into the White House. Clearly, Obama has the support of hundred of thousands of financial supporters. Obama's campaign is democracy in action. Clinton's is a farce.

I say let them donate their own money. It's less money that they will be asking from us. I still love Hillary, although I will be perfectly happy with an Obama ticket. I like a strong bitch!
