No matter whose campaign it is, it’s never an encouraging sign when campaign staffers start working for free.
“Its all about money. Rudy is the only candidate who can raise $100 million dollars. He is the only one who can get elected.” - often repeated quote from hundreds of Giuliani supporters last year
Follow the money.
Is there a new Mistress anywhereabouts?
Staffers working for free are saying they don’t have money troubles? They have mortgages and car payments. They aren’t doing this because the money situation is ok.
Dear Stafffers : you are freaking STUPID.
Rudy’s probably got more money than all of the combined. If the campaign $ isn’t there, can’t he pay them himself? Not a rhetorical question; I really don’t know.
He disputed the notion of a cash-strapped campaign, and said Giuliani continues to bring in cash...
You bet he does...
..maybe Rudy can raffle off some of his dresses on E-Bay...
Excuse me while I don't shed any tears. This is just like an entrepreneur forgoing paychecks from his business in expectation of making many times that later.
To be fair, Rudy did have one real thing working for him. He was a hard nosed bastard who turned New York City around, from a cess pit that people were fearful to visit to a prosperous tourist mecca. He was never nice, but he was effective.
But he also has many things working against him, as we all know. And in the end they far outway his unpleasant but effective competence. I’m willing to give him his due, while saying that I still wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole because of his abominable positions on abortion, gay rights, illegal immigration, and gun control.
For all those reasons, there is no way on earth that he could win the election, and the money people who supported him were delusional to think he could.
Maybe Hannity will come up with some bucks for these guys...
Great news. May the libs and moderate Republicans expend infinte dinero backing this weak sister.
What B.S. When you don't make your payroll, you're in trouble.
