Hillary Owes A Lot Of Money, Boo Hoo

Hillary Clinton's campaign has acknowledged that it is $20 million in debt. Who cares? That's about a fifth of the money she and Bill have made in the last seven years, and Barack will help ease some of it when she quits. She can put a few more weeks on her AmEx if she wants to, and she might as well at this point: Let her run out the rest of the primaries, everyone will decide, and the only thing pushing her out will be her old nemesis, Math, finally set-in-stone. And then she'll sue and take it to the convention where Al Gore will become president, again. [Washington Post]

DON'T PEOPLE HAVE SUBPRIME MORTGAGES TO PAY?: Hillary Clinton's campaign is somehow en route to raise TEN MILLION SMACKEROONIES between last night's victory and tonight. [The Page]

McCain Raises Like Four Cents In March

While Hillary Clinton has all but lost the nomination, she raised about $20 million in March. John McCain, on the other hand, has already won his nomination and should have the entire Republican base of Fat Cats giving him money, forever. And that brings him to a grand March total of... $15 million. To someone as old as John McCain, that's like $120 billion in fresh new Confederate scrip! "Hotcakes and fritters for all you trollops," McCain was overheard saying to his family. [Marc Ambinder]

quarterly fundraising totals

Broke Loser Obama Raises Only $40 Million In March

Because Barack Obama is despised by all America save for a small enclave of leftist weirdos, he raised just $40 million in March while John McCain was overseas fighting for Freedom. So far in 2008, Obama has raised $134 million. Why won't doomed presidential candidate Obama step aside and spend his hundreds of millions of dollars on useful things, such as cigarettes and bowling lessons? [Washington Post]

How Much Money Did Hillary & Barry Steal in March?

Now that it's April 1, we can all start wondering how much $$$ each campaign raised in March, and then compare it to our own meager Sub-prime earnings. While neither campaign has released figures yet, Obama's total is "heard" to be around $40 million (compared to $55 million last month) and Hillary's is "supposed" to be around $20 million (compared to $35 million). In other words, Americans have spent around $55 million in the last two months to fund Hillary's meaningless daily psychobabble and $95 million for Barack to prove he's a slappy little fairy. We deserve the Great Depression II. [Marc Ambinder]

JFK Not Responsible For Barack Obama's 'Very Existence' After All

The public been duped again by America's Prince, Barack Obama. You know how he likes to talk about how John F. Kennedy is secretly his father, because Kennedy bankrolled Barack Obama Sr.'s trip to the United States and personally introduced the young Kenyan economist to lovely Ann Dunham? All lies! More »

You Could Eat Food With Barack, You Poor Maggot


Here's the promo for "Dinner with Barack," the fundraising ploy that many of you keep receiving lurid e-mails from campaign manager David Plouffe about. He has already done one of these group sex dinner-date things before, as this video shows. One lady is so poor that she can't afford "food," so thank you Barack. Another lady can afford college because of a thing called the "Hope Program" (not even joking). Then Barack claims that he is a Normal Person because he snores while sleeping with his wife, in Heaven. [YouTube]

America's Winning Response to Eight Years of Bush & Cheney

Mitt Romney joined his "successful" nemesis John McCain on the campaign trail yesterday, and they raised some cash from Mormon Fat Cats and other mountain men in Denver and Salt Lake City. They even rode together on John McCain's stupid little plane. But Mitt wants to be McCain's vice president, and McCain wants to woo the "Romney Wing" of the Republican party — Space Elves — so they had to play it nice for the cameramen. Look at how gay they were with each other yesterday, ha ha! The full gay photo tour, after the jump. More »

Angry Republican Donors Literally Crapping On Fundraising Pleas

Things are looking pretty rough in Republican fundraising circles these days...except for an elite group of operatives who accept campaign contributions in the only denomination that still holds its value in the global market: human feces. More »

Mitt and McCain Hit The Trail Together

America's most believed ex-presidential candidate, Mittens "Mitt" Romney, is joining Maverick candidate John McCain on a fundraising tour through the "mountain west," starting today. They hate each after a brutal campaign where each lied and smeared the other to no end, although John McCain is, again, a Maverick, and Mittens wants to be his vice president. More »

Obama, McCain Whoring Themselves

Barack Obama and John McCain have been sending e-mails to their supporters (and various others) offering sex, for money. But it is not prostitution, because they speak in euphemisms. An e-mail from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe asks in the subject line "Dinner with Barack?" Maybe Barack should man up and e-mail us himself, or better yet, pick up the damn telephone. John McCain, for instance, sends out his own sex e-mail, subject line "Ride With Me On The Straight Talk Express." Lord knows how many times that's worked over the years (mostly with starstruck reporters). Anyway, here is how you can sign up for a sex dinner with Barack Obama, and here is John McCain's imaginary erection.

Democrats Use The Web To Exploit Small Donors

Hip young Democratic newcomers like Hillary Clinton have mastered the art of fundraising over the Internets, while Republicans continue to raise campaign contributions in gold dubloons via Pony Express. Massive citizen participation in their hopeful quests has allowed Democrats to forever unshackle themselves from The Special Interests, big business, and The Lobbyists. How long will it take Republicans to catch up with these innovative fundraising techmologies? More »

'Shockingly Unpleasant' Men Charging $5 For Obama Signs

Barack Obama has raised $196 million dollars for his campaign in the last minute. Still, he insists upon charging some people five dollars for a sign to put in their front yards. What is wrong with him? In a column for Boston's Metro, a Philly writer has put it all into strange perspective. And yes, it involves terrorism somehow. More »

FAT CAT BARRY MADE MORE MONEY THAN YOU LAST MONTH: Barack Obama finally announced his February fundraising total today, and it's 55 million Ameros! Hillary only raised 35 million Ron Paul Liberty Dollars, and now they can spend it all on Pennsylvania, where people are starving. [AP/Breitbart]

McCain's Lock On Nomination Brings In No Money Whatsoever

Now that John McCain is the Republicans' "presumptive nominee," the right wing is flooding his campaign with all sorts of corrupt lobbyist cash. WALNUTS! raised a grand total of $12 million in February — considerably more than "the average American" earned that month! Now maybe McCain can afford both his prescription drugs and his groceries — unlike most of America's seniors — but nothing else. More »

public financing for change

Obama Pens Column About That Public Financing Mini-Crisis

The biggest scandal in Barack Obama’s presidential run has been this: He may have agreed to accept public financing in the general election if his opponent did as well, but now that he’s a rich man, he might not want to do that at all. He’s a hypocritical shark god, off with his pretty head, etc. etc. and so forth. But Barry’s so honest that he wrote an op-ed today in America’s newspaper, USA Today, outlining his case on the matter. Does he make any sense or just continue to lie forever? More »

McCain Courts Donors, Evades Grim Reaper

The McCain campaign’s two biggest priorities right now are finding a running mate and fundraising. According to reports, one issue “is being treated with considerably more urgency.” If you guessed that priority #1 was finding a successor to a candidate who, on Inauguration Day, will be just three years shy of average life expectancy, guess again! McCain is more worried about money, duh. [CNN]
