"Hope" and "change" (and a whole lot of money) propelled Obama to victory.
After endorsing President-elect Obama last February, MoveOn.org Political Action's 4.5 million members contributed more than $88 million towards Barack Obama's presidential campaign, the organization announced on Wednesday. And more than 1 million MoveOn.org members worked in a trail-blazing field effort in coordination with the Obama campaign.
In the 2008 presidential campaign, MoveOn.org and its members admitted they:
– Contributed more than $58 million directly to Obama's campaign.
– Raised and spent more than $30 million in independent election efforts.
– Delivered up to 600,000 battleground state volunteers. 400,000 more volunteers participated from non-battleground states.
– Added 1 million young members from June to September 2008, and mobilized them online and offline.
– Registered more than 500,000 new young Obama supporters in battleground states.
The executive director of MoveOn.org, Eli Pariser, said in a statement on Obama's victory, "Our members sense the opportunity to achieve things that seemed improbable if not impossible only a year ago. For our members, this is the culmination of a decade of work to build a progressive, people-driven politics in America."
“change” indeed.... and certainly not pocket “change”
And they WANT PAYBACK.
The very bill you designed Jonnie boy bit you and America in the ass
meanwhile inquiring minds want to know how much did Sarah Palin really spend on her pant suits?
Are You Ready to Redistribute Your Wealth ?
After all, paying taxes is “patriotic.”

Actually, no. I could run my business underground if I wanted to. I have a feeling many others could too.
It’s legal for one organization to donate $85 million after the campaign reform of McCain?
I am shocked.
Good one
Come on! Watch the Headers! Should Read “Far Left Communist Front Group Steals ** Million for Jew Hating Chicago Street Thug!”
In the wingnut left dictionary this is known as ‘getting the money out of politics.’
Sadly, with the Obamafascists now in charge, we’ll NEVER be allowed to know how much overseas cash went in to Obama’s coffers.
In 2004, over 1/3 of MoveOn’s cash came from NON-U.S. donors. I wonder how much came this year?
Me too. She certainly was a real breath of fresh air. I still have the gut feeling that McCain held her back on what she really could do. I feel this gal could have ripped Obama to shreds. It was like she was limited to somewhat talking points rather that let the tiger fully out of the tank. Just my gut feeling that this lady is really a Regan in dress suits.
Do you ever wonder if McCain really wanted to win? I am so sad for our country. I have lived in a Socialist country. Socialism=everyone equally miserably.
A Lefty friend asked me if i would ever vote for a woman for President (she was a Hillary! supporter). i said, of course if there was a Margaret Thatcher on the horizon. We’ll see how Sarah comes along.
Illegal?
