They will miss the money I donate that is about it Exposethefrauds Jun 2014 #47

How much do you donate? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #52

Between 10 and 20k per election cycle Exposethefrauds Jun 2014 #56

you're saying you donate between 10,000 and 20,000 per election cycle and you say "not much"? CreekDog Jun 2014 #136

Oh I get calls but have been telling the DNC to FO for a number of years now Exposethefrauds Jun 2014 #137

you're saying you donate between $10,000 and $20,000 per cycle? CreekDog Jun 2014 #141

More than the 69% will? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #65

You realize 69% isn't that great, right? n/t Dawgs Jun 2014 #70

You realize 69% at this point is unheard of....right? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #81

At this point any number is meaningless. Dawgs Jun 2014 #90

says the guy who cannot commit to voting for whomever the Democrats select..... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #91

That doesn't even make any sense. Dawgs Jun 2014 #94
