GOOD: Campaign Fundraising

[Skyathaniel]

Ron Paul!

[Hikikomori013]

Ah, the good old days, when Obama stood up for public campaign financing; until he realized he was pulling in more than 3 times what his opponent was raising.

i thought the animation was well done, and the music fit well with the action.

And I like the train.

[Bryanchannel1]

Obama raised a assload of money off his website

[whothehellgivesadamn]

what an idiot npwhatever....with the exception of ronpaul they make bandits look like santaclause what a frikin idiot....the video was clean and cute...it just had a whole lot of holes in it.........more like canon ball sized holes in it than bullet holes

[adrastea99]

Wiminz love the black cawk

Whats so bad about funding?

doesn't the money go to american advertisement companies and from them back to american society? Money doesn't disappear anywhere.

[cary123]

It maintains the evil capitalist system that steals are money today.

[Jacobdscott]

I think, given that everyone who gave funds volunteered to do so, this video is complete rubbish.

[Rappster16]

but it does raise the question of why it costs so much to campaign.

[npc223]

it does, but this is beside the point (it is possible to display the figures in other ways). the point is that the video portrays the candidates as bandits, when they aren't.

[Rappster16]

aren't they?

[npc223]

Jacobdscott summed up my opinion fairly well. none of this money was stolen, all of it was volunteered by supporters.

[annie2062003]

god how do they fundraise need massive school fundraising ideas anyone got any???

[ASKaPHYSICIST]

that's capitalism for you

[FlankersWell]

You know whats better then capitalism?

Check out Somalias Economic system. There isn't one.

Somalians enjoy one of the lowest rates of international phone calls in the world.

And a shit load of war. . .

[npc223]

and somalia works in a communist way, of course.

it is very obviously going to be capitalist in the way it operates, therefore it IS capitalism

[agbook2007]

Very informative...entertainning...­and YES, just plain GOOD.

Again, excellent choice of the music.

Interesting facts there, with those two zip codes in New York being part of the top of all three candidates. 10021 AND 10022...interesting.

[davis1337]

awesome vid. but all of these GOOD video's are just educative, creative and just GOOD.

[Dominatrix319]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could put that money to use for better issues: education, alzhimers research, homelessness, cancer research, spinal-injury research, you name it....

What a waste!

[herdofthis]

THats alot of money for hungry people. I Hope they're worth it.

[minizer999]

love it or fix it..awesome

[ChaoticConfusion]

The western bandit theme in this was great thanks for the upload

[ianislavus]

First you're donating campaign from your own packets... Then you make a choice like Bush... so comments... you're doomed!!! :)

[Masakione]

awesome animation... wanna do this too

[jjohnnystipes]

These candidates are depicted as bandits(robbers). I think the people they got the money from gave it willingly. COntributors I think is what they are called. I like you, here's my money.The contributors might be stupid but they were not robbed.

[WatanukiProductions]

Run For President

Collect Donations

Drop out of Race

????

Profit

[curlyheads]

or you could do what Hillary Clinton did.

[nevous8]

Good point, I always wondered that... Drop out + surplus or more stored away money = .... ?

[HempForPresident]

(continued from below V) source code owned by the gov't and looked over by programmers and international election watchers, in an open process viewable by any citizen online or on C-Span. Votes would be Instant Run-off Votes. IRV means you choose 4 or 5 candidates in order of preference. If your first choice doesn't win enough percent to make the cut, your vote "runs off" to the next one down. So on and so forth until the final candidate is chosen.

[jbokuden]

1 billion is alot but it is still less than the 1.6 billion annual advertising budget of Coca-Cola. I honestly wouldn't feel bad if we spent more on deciding the next president than we do and deciding Coke vs Pepsi.

[HempForPresident]

I sort of see your point, but I would be in favor of this: Everyone in America donates $5 per year to a fund held by the government. At the end of 4 years, $5 times 150 million tax payers = $750 million per year times 4 years = $3 Billion dollars.

Think that's enough? We could use that money to buy EQUAL air time for all the candidates running. We would vote in a Federally indentical process over all the states. Electronic voting with source code owned by the gov't and (continued ^)

[AdDigit]

Broadcaster licensees are trustees of the public's airwaves. They are given the right to use those airwaves by the public in the first place.

Legally all that needs to happen is the public puts in a FCC regulation that broadcasters have to give fair time.

[WatanukiProductions]

Yeah cause everyone knows Coke is better we don't need a vote.

Though the future of Coke is more important than our next president.

[farfegnugens]

dude, is it me or does everyone suck?

[AdDigit]

The real problem is Television ads. That's the major costs are advertising. But, if you think about its over public airways in the first place. It would make more sense to take it in public domain. Since, television company's are given the right to broadcast on the public's airways.

[chossef]

think about how the president is gonna pay back his debt with a job that pays 200 000$ a year...

like it or not when big corporations give you millions for your campaign... it's not because they like you... they are buying you...

[2themachine]

Liberals are heretics to the American cause.

[adrastea99]

Vote Obama!

[ModernModr]

shit, Obama has quite a debt to repay. I hope he didn't get any of those millions from anti-pot organizations...

[Emily10145]

TubeComments.(INFO) post 1000's of comments a day Loved it !

[superchet]

[kenranda]

hey what happen to all the money that came from lobbyist and bankers. im sure that could account for majority of all three candidates. so i guess they have some paying back to do later.....gotta love America

[SDgirl007]

this magazine is awesome!

[plusaf]

WONDERFUL video!

[JDMHustler]

[funkypoormusician]

Great Video Folks... So well done in every respect! Love the background music!

[webmotion87]

Awesome video :)

[f4172ph]

awesome animation

[kzd444]

[AlexHomedog]

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

[akashchauhan]

you bastard

[3rdconfederate]

This whole thing is extremely depressing. Once again, we have no choices.

[Citruso]

Another historical factoid of many in the 2008 election.

[TAMARLANE]

I love statistics. You can do most anything with them.

[borddurasoir]

Re: "But Obama's Campaign Lists More Female Donors

Obama: 49,346 Females

Clinton: 43, 571 Females"

WTF? Obama has 1,500,000 donors. The numbers this video gives in terms of the numbers of female donors each campaign has has to be so absurdly outdated that they are irrelevant at this point.

[fraMichigan]

support the middle class

[Teknics]

[AgentTurtleCompany]

That was a well done video, but completely biased you fuckass.

[cheyroze]

I wonder why the military is funding the "anti war" candidates?

[AJAX556]

Wait but the democrats keep telling me the economy isn't good.

If so where's all this money coming from?

[sploogersmoof]

economics is a very complicated field. your going broke, everything is getting more expensive, and the doller is going down. after awhile you will be hard pressed you buy food.

[emceescher]

Five Freaking Stars

[tnorrish]

A lot of money coming out of Manhattan. Also interesting that Veterans are giving to candidates that did not vote for the war.

GOOD Magazine rocks!

GOOD videos are very informative, but your guys production qualities are through the roof. You make a series of bar graphs fun.

Bravo.
