Both Hillary Clinton and John [McCain] have some interesting disclaimers on their campaign contribution websites.
I had a kick a while back at this commentary on the terms and conditions on Hillary Clinton's contribution website
.
- ... By submitting your contribution, you agree that (you are an idiot, and) the first $2,300 of your contribution is designated for the primary, and any additional amount up to $2,300 is designated for the general election. (Please give us a chunk of money all in one go right now, even if Hillary doesn't make it to the general election.) ... individuals are strictly prohibited from reimbursing another person for making a contribution to Hillary Clinton for President. (Unless your name is Ed Jew, or any number of other people creating scandals by reimbursing previous contributions to Hillary.)_
For the privacy minded, [McCain]'s website has an interesting statement on it, one I didn't notice on Hillary's site:
- Federal law requires us to report the name, address, occupation, and employer of any contributor who gives more than $200 in an election cycle.
I wonder about the privacy implications of that. I wonder why that disclaimer isn't on Hillary's website.... Is she just going to violate your privacy by not telling you what information she is passing along about you? Is [McCain] just more honest than Hillary? Does [McCain] care more about following the campaign finance laws than Hillary Clinton?
