Hillary Clinton and the "Activist Base"

“Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] — which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down,” Clinton said to a meeting of donors. “We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn’t even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that’s what we’re dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it’s primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don’t agree with them. They know I don’t agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me.”

Just remember this when/if you even contemplate giving money to $100 Mill Hill to "retire debt." I'm not telling you to give or not give, but just ask yourself if she really deserves your hard earned money.

There's something personally repugnant to me about someone who is uber-rich begging us pee-ons for money because they didn't make a wise choice in how to invest or spend their money.

"OH poor me. Instead of 100 million dollars, i only have 80 million now! How ever will i survive?!"
