Money on Fire, Dems Burn Dollars Like Wildfire

The two remaining Democratic contenders for the nomination of the party have raised an earth shattering $280 million as of January 31, 2008 and counting. Of that $280 million, nearly $230 million has been spent. $280 million. Wow! Never mind how many college educations that can buy, or how many gallons of gas, or how many foreclosed homes, or how many, well you get the point. This amount does not include the nearly $55 million Obama raised in February nor the $35 million raised by Clinton. The time has come to stop spending all of these dollars and begin to make some sense.



Unless a meteor hits the earth, it is a forgone conclusion that barring any year 2000 Florida election antics, Barack Obama will be the nominee. Unless Hillary Clinton gracefully exits the race, the amount of money burned to win the Democratic nomination will soon exceed the national debt. What a travesty especially when Americans are losing there homes quicker than Bush lost his compassionate conservative elk. The Democratic leadership needs to step up to the plate and bring closure to this process before the amount of dollars burned begin to have real consequences. Despite the fall of the dollar, there is no need to disrespect it this way.



I call on all reasonable Americans to call your congressional leaders, governors and other super delegates and express your outrage with this crash and burn process. It is time to unite the party, save the dollar and the country!
