I think I may have found something suspicious...

[Cogz]

So I was using the huffington post thing looking up various stuff. How much actors gave, how much people in my area gave. Stuff like that. I did a number of searches of different U.S. military acronyms, and found that people who refer to themselves as U.S. Army tend to donate to McCain a LOT more than people who list their employer as US Army. Strange. But that wasn't what is interesting.

Do a search for occupation: Filmmaker. Not a high paying job for most people, and look at how much people gave on average.

Now, do a search with occupation listed as "Student."

Notice any disparities on average of how much people give? Why would students be averaging out at three to four times what other occupations are giving? While you technically could be a student, wouldn't that be a good way to hide "clout" in the donations?

DING DING DING!

Looking for further speculation and attention. (not for me, but the suspiciousness of it.)

Ok, on further examination - only two pages of students maxxed out at 4,600. But - why are there nearly the same amount of students maxing out as Doctors?

I thought students were poor?

I know an undergrad who maxed out for RP last quarter... *shrug* Some are more dedicated than others.

Students are very good at living for pennies a day (eating ramen and finding free food). haha

I'm a student and I've donated $2300 to Dr. Paul. I can't imagine many students would be dedicated enough to donate that much to other candidates though.

 

[cheese]

there are more students than doctors. duh

 

[Cogz]

24 Students maxxed out for Ron Paul out of 900 maxxed out students.

Lots and Lots and LOTS of Romney and McCain students maxxed. Its probably all above board - I just find it wierd that Dr. Paul outraised them last quarter yet they have many more "students" maxxing out.

ahh ramen you know its good for you because it has a 1000 year half-life.

I noticed the same thing just looking through the mixed lists. I saw a boatload of "Students" donating $4600 for Hillary Clinton, but no other candidate.

A lot of those are probably middle aged married women who are going back to school. Maybe...

If you are rich and maxed out then you donate using your children's names so you can send more money. It is against the rules, but we all know people don't repect the rules. This is dirty American politics. Anyone care to go to war to spread this democracy?

 

[Airborn]

most of the donations for waitress/waiters are for Ron Paul

 

[stevedasbach]

Check to see if their parents also maxed out.

Sorry for spamming.

The RP newspapers that will go out to Super Tuesday driveways need funds right now you guys...only about $800-ish more to go. Improve our numbers for Super Tuesday! Right now!
$800-ish to go! Come on!

This will go out to many doorsteps!

Mods: Sorry for spamming, but I think it's important enough.

It would be interesting to see what their parents do for a living.

N/M - I am trying to find a rabbit hole to dig follow (to see how deep it goes).

Better I just go to bed.

Looks like our "no tax on tips" cards worked.

I see a very useful tool as it tells to whom people donated with their address. This would be useful in canvassing for candidates that are no longer in the race.

Unfortunately for me - I am the ONLY one in my precinct that gave money according to the FEC.
