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?
