Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

An unlikely treasure-trove of donors for Clinton

Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown.

At this point in the presidential campaign cycle, Clinton has raised more money than any candidate in history. Those dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers are part of the reason. And Clinton's success in gathering money from Chinatown's least-affluent residents stems from a two-pronged strategy: mutually beneficial alliances with powerful groups, and appeals to the hopes and dreams of people now consigned to the margins.

This woman may be unstoppable. According to the one thread, even Bush is getting ready to turn the White House back over to the Clintons. Thats scary. 8 years of a Bush as Vice, then 4 more as President. 8 years of Bill, 8 years of Bush jr. And now, at least 4 years of Hillary....That totals (not counting the Vice Presidency of Bush Sr) 24 years of this Country being run by two families.
With the exception of Ron Paul, I don't think the Republicans have an candidate strong enough to beat Hillary. She would have to do something stupid. Say something like what John Kerry would say, or scream like Howard Dean, or start babbling like Bush Jr. to mess things up now.
Her leading in the polls is just a clear sign that America is not paying attention again. Thank God there is Ron Paul.

Here a link to a site that I heard about on P.O.T.U.S. 08. There are the stats on the campaign funds raised and where they come from for all the candidates.
I don't see anything Bias about this site. So NEOCONS, beware. There is nothing on this site that states Bush should be president for another 8 yrs.

Good for her. She is running an alomost flawless campain. I doubt anyone even comes close to beating her. The funny thing about her campain is whenever someone writes a hit piece about her most americans just play it off as more Clinton bashing. It's a win-win for her. She doesn't have to say a word about any of it. Heck the more smear the better. It's just more media hype for her.

Her biggest "Hit Piece" of her own doing

With just short glance, anyone can tell "EXACTLY" why she should "NOT" be the next president. And also, that she has voted too many times "WITH" the NEOCON bills.

On her transportation votes:

Here's the think though. Most people who vote do not get on the internet to really research the candidate. They rely on the mainstream media for their opinions. Or they believe what the candidate is saying.

I'd rather have someone who is honestly a Communist than a fake conservative. Go Hillary.
