Clinton Donors Threaten To Withhold Funds From DNC

And then they will hold their breath until she gets the nomination because she was told she was going to the coronation and the win was in the bag!

To quote the immortal words of Eric Cartman . . . . ."You will respect my authoritii", is so appro-po in describing the Billary "bunch" mentality and their regard for the DNC.

These people are not DNC donors. They are just billary loyalists, also known as blackmailers. If the DNC has to rely on blackmailers like these billary loyalists, why not let them handpick a candidate every four years?

Another thought on the "Follow the Money Theme"

1) Senator Clinton refuses to disclose her Tax Returns.

2) Senator Clinton refuses to disclose her Earmarks.

3) Senator Clinton's Fat Cat Donors are lining up to demand their "donations" to the DNC be returned.

Any correlation between 1), 2) and/or 3)?

You be the judge. Oh, sorry, you can't because we don't know what 1) and 2) are. All we know is that 3) is a thinly veiled attempt to apply financial pressure on the DNC to sway it's decision making. If it involved future donations or support one might consider it bribery. When it involves demanding a return of funds already donated (and thus likely earmarked for use and being depended on) it's nothing short of extortion.

Is this the kind of government you want? True, you may be used to it after 7 years of the Bush Administration but I think the reason most Democrats are trying to get a Democrat elected is to make some changes?

Go for it! Glad to see these people fight the same moronic so called "Lefty" Insurgency that destroyed Democratic control in 1968 and 1980. With the operative word being MORONIC.

Obama and his INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST surrugates (and brainwashed by MSNBC.COM and CNN.COM young supporters) are no different from the radical right wing Republican base, And Obama (the "unita not a divida) has the AUDACITY to praise the Republicans who have been desroying the Middle Class for decades and equating Hillary with GWB, when she is the opposite.

He is a bike rider bowing to Republicans and praising them, while kicking the heads of Democrats. IT IS OBAMA THAT HAS BEEN PLAYING THE RACE CARD IN COLABORATION WITH CHRIS MATHEWS AND TIM RUSSERT, WHO CHALLANGED HIM TO ATTACK Hillary, handed him the REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS TO attack her with --- All begun last October AFTER FOR 10 MONTHS SHE HAD BEEN RUNNING AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS AND PRAISING FELLOW DEMOCRATS.

Obama is the Bush Candidate. Has been willing to do anything To cover his lack of international and White House and national legislative experience....even stooped to trashing baby boomers He is full of himself and running a campaign based on PR Republican operative Frank lunz. "It's not what you say but what people hear."

It is quite clear that Obama cannot win the General election and like Bush is a "Gambler" gambling with our lives!

As Tracy Morgan said on SNL when asking what qualifies Hillary to be President:

"If Hillary"s last name wasn"t Clinton she"d be some crazy white lady with too much money and not enough love"n¦ I know women like that and you do not want them on the phone at 3 in the morning."

Look, Democracy, has a price!!
Oh wait, then its not democracy, its Authoritarian rule.
But thats ok, we will still call it a democracy and no one will ever notice.

Kind of like having terminal cancer, and calling it cold.

Threats, law suits, changing the rules, smears, false attacks! Is this the leadership we want in the White House?

I support Senator Barack Obama because of his leadership ability, integrity, intelligence and judgement. Not to mention that he has the endorsements of the leaders in the Democratic party I most admire. I worked in one of his campaign offices and know absolutely he runs a clean grassroots funded campaign, "from the ground up." Senator Obama is truly the presidential candidate of the American people.

well, when you're used to being bought, i guess people will always be able to hold that over your head.

He should have thought about that before, he was aware of the rules before he voted, and b4 the fundraising.

I'm a small time donor who will vote for Barack if he gets the nomination, but I'm so disgusted by HuffPo, Daily Kos, etc and their non-stop Hillary hate that I won't be donating money or working the phones for him the way I have been for her.

If I want this level of vitriol against my candidate I'll go listen to Faux News or Chris Matthews.

Anyone who is a Democrat and uses their money to further Democrats, can't possibly withhold money from the DNC. Howard Dean is the reasons we're doing as well as we are. His 50 state strategy is why we'll have a Dem President and, if you keep contributing, why we'll take the House and the Senate, as well as more State seats as well.

If you withhold your money in order to squeeze the DNC because of Hillary, the vast majority of the Dem establishment will withdraw any and all of its support for Mrs. Clinton.

When is everyone going to finally get it. Mrs. Clinton is no longer running as a Democrat. She's running as a monarchy.

"Clinton Donors Threaten To Withhold Funds From DNC"

They might as well give it to the RNC. Or did they donate so much money to the DNC in the first place just to get their barbed and poisoned hooks in, to do as much damage as possible pulling out? Thanks, Hil.

Disgusting. She is just plain disgusting.,

Howard Dean must not cave to this kind of disgusting bribery.

I don 't think he will.

Ms. Clinton does not act like a democratic candidate.

She can't play by the democratic party rules,
and when she doesn't get what she wants, she threatens like a NeoCon.

The phrase "the ends don't always justify the means" comes to mind.

I don't do the whole god and prayer thing, but I just "pray" that if there is a god, he or she will slap these sorry Clintons up-side-the-head, but good! Enough already of the bully-ette on the play ground. You"re losing Clinton, quit this bullshit, shut the hell up, and get back to your job! It"s time to stop this cesspool of a campaign. Enough! Let it go! Stop! It"s time to get positive and start rooting for the home team! OBAMA!!!!!

I'm glad to see that the doners are speaking up. This situation is unacceptable. It's obvious the resolution is due to the demographics. Obama simply is trying to manipulate the system to avoid counting Floridians so he can push his delegate count method over popular vote method.

That's not at all fair and certainly not smart for the party.

As truly vital as it is that each American's vote be counted, why didn't this mayhem over leaving Florida and Michigan unseated start when the decision was first made? Obama is right, it was an unconscionable decision, however the decision was made and should be final. It's doubtful to me that Clinton *suddenly* believes Florida and Michigan voters" rights were discounted - why wasn"t she making this fuss when she was the presumed Democratic nominee?

Coercion- the act of compelling by force of authority.
Extortion- a criminal offense, which occurs when a person either obtains money, property or services from another through coercion or intimidation

Take your pick!

Obama should be commended and encouraged for having reduced the Clintons Presidential 3rd term inevitability to shreds. This can be seen in the Clintons desperation in wanting to get DNC rules overturned, fighting for the Florida & Michigan primaries results to count, fighting for a do- over in those states should the DNC refuse to count the votes of the Jan 15 and 29 Primaries, Endorsing a Republic
