F7: Are you ready to donate to the Republican nominee?
posted at 4:35 pm on February 5, 2008 by Allahpundit
I’ll kick in eventually, but like I said the other day, I think Ruffini picked the wrong year to launch this endeavor.
Laura Ingraham’s on board. Are you?

Looks something like this
I’m going to send a bunch if it’s McCain.
sloopy on February 5, 2008 at 5:29 PM
RNC called Friday = No
NRCC called Monday = No
NYSGOP called Monday = No
F7 today? Not on your life. See here’s the problem with this kind of support. It’s a no strings attached, ‘here’s my money so you can screw me later with all the policies proposals I’d never have backed if I had known beforehand’. Hey, I’ve just had a healthy dose of it for the last 7 years and I don’t plan on paying to get it for another four years, especially when I know McCain is going to stab me in the back afterwards while calling me greedy and a nativist or worse.
I’d be happy to contribute to a fund which will extract clear promises as to the conduct and policy from the nominee in return providing support. If Ruffini puts up a proposed prenup, I’ll reconsider.
Dusty on February 5, 2008 at 5:29 PM
yea…
Vampires, never really liked them, D. Gray-Man and Bleach do have them in some of their episodes..
Vampires kind of freak me out.. :{
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Let me throw down the geek gauntlet and say if that were to happen I would join U.N. Spacey in a minute.
I’m not into Naruto and my son is mostly into old school hana barbara stuff at the moment. Although, he dose like YuGi-Oh a lot. My anime tastes are for mature audiences.
liquidflorian on February 5, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Oh Allah!
You are precisely what has been wrong about this primary contest. You hitched your star to Rudy and now McCain and you don’t even have the conscience or moral bearing to pause before you use religion as a wedge to force McCain on the GOP. How dare you sir!
Romney isn’t my first choice but at least his supporters aren’t questioning my patriotism the way you McCain robots are. Not one red cent to get that miserable lying bastard weasel McCain elected. I’m sitting home if Juan gets the GOP nod because of bullies like you.
highhopes on February 5, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Bush has something McCain lacks: character.
McCain tried the same dirty tricks on Bush when they were running against each other, and then loose cannon McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts out of spite (and lost.)
Bush, for all his flawed policy positions is at least a decent, honest man. Johhny Mac is just a bottom feeding, vengeful shell of what he used to be.
BKennedy on February 5, 2008 at 5:31 PM
If McCain is so good at reaching across the aisle, he can try doing that with fundraising.
Support your conservatives Representatives and Senators.
INC on February 5, 2008 at 5:31 PM
No way, NEVER, I think it’s time for a 3rd party !
stenwin77 on February 5, 2008 at 5:33 PM
When McCain talks about reaching across the aisle he means Republicans, not Democrats. McCain only reaches across the aisle on the war on terror. Everywhere else he can be found hugging and praising the Democrats.
BKennedy on February 5, 2008 at 5:33 PM
BKennedy, that’s good!
INC on February 5, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Not one dime to the GOP until they clean up their act. Which is to say, not one dime for a long, long time.
GogglesPisano on February 5, 2008 at 5:36 PM
I think there was a picture of McCain watching the Super Bowl with Lindsey Graham and Lieberman. It kind of made me ill to see them laughing it up. It reminded me of all those pics from the amnesty debate.
INC on February 5, 2008 at 5:36 PM
if Mccain than no. will need all my money to pay the taxes.
unseen on February 5, 2008 at 5:37 PM
OR I could just flush that money down the crapper!
Either way, Juan would get it.
Let the GOP drones carry water for that slug, just one of those jobs THIS American won’t do.
It’s a game of Pitch, but the GOP establishment botched their bid; they think they’ve got ace/king trump. So they bid four.
Problem is, they’re playing against some seasoned opponents here and they don’t have ace/king. Best they’ve got is queen/jack, maybe even king/queen. That’ll pick up some tricks for them, and maybe it’ll get them two, maybe three.
They won’t pick up their four bid though and what happens when you miss your bid in Pitch?
You get setback.
SuperCool on February 5, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Did hell freeze over? No, call me in 2012.
jwp1964 on February 5, 2008 at 5:46 PM
If McCain is the nominee all I can say is…
Republicans for Obama!
And after that I’d checkout Australia. ;-)
Darnell Clayton on February 5, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Wait for Willard to bow out gracefully…
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 5:48 PM
I’m sorry, please point to all the people who are supporting Bush. It’s been a long, long time since I saw anyone defend him, much less as a conservative.
I’ve been under the impression – and conservative thinkers have not nothing to disabuse me of this impression – that Bush is recognized right and left as a dismal failure and was well nigh excommunicated over Amnesty.
Lehosh on February 5, 2008 at 5:49 PM
maybe Juan can have a telethon on telemundo might as well get the money from the people you really work for because it sure in the hell isnt the American citizens .
Mojack420 on February 5, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Watching “anime” on cartoon network is a travesty to the art form.
Ugh what’s the obsession with Shounen Jump manga/anime, anyway. Naruto has always sucked, Bleach sucks now, and most of the other stuff is crap. I canceled my subscription to Jump at Kinokuniya (they lag 3 weeks behind Japan anyway, easier to just read the Japanese scans) The only thing worth reading still was One Piece, and even that’s dragging. 300 pages and 20 worth reading is not a good signal to noise ratio. I swear the only IP that originated in the last 10 years worth a damn is Full Metal Panic! but there’s too much time between novels.
I wonder if McVain or Obambi will find a way to use the fairness doctorine or some other information restricting tactic to kill the anime gray market.
hkenshin on February 5, 2008 at 5:52 PM
I don’t know… I’ll lift one finger for him.
ErikTheRed on February 5, 2008 at 5:52 PM
Its bad enough they get my vote. I ain’t paying for the privilege.
I gotta give some props to Blood+, but I’ve been anime deprived lately.
Iblis on February 5, 2008 at 5:55 PM
This thread is probably a bit painful for you. Hope you have a bit put away, but at any rate it’ll be some time before the financial chickens come home to roost down at your level. Wouldn’t hurt to start lookin’ though, or perhaps to pre-empt and send a memo upstairs saying you’ll work for less. A person your age doesn’t need to eat more than once a day if you drink plenty of water. Another possibility is to hook on with fundraising, shave your head, get a tin cup and a sheet. Then you could go somewhere else.
a capella on February 5, 2008 at 5:57 PM
McCain will lose terribly in the General, why waste a dime on him? And I agree with others, that I’d be supporting someone who opposes me, so he won’t get a cent (or a vote) from me…ever. period.
pecan pie on February 5, 2008 at 6:00 PM
BKennedy,
Character? What a cop out. Apparently Character means lying and lying and lying and lying. Is “character” telling a state that has a confederate flag on its statehouse that your opponent has nonexistent “illegitimate black babies” or does he still possess character because he had his operatives do it? Is it character that he used intell that his own intelligence agencies rejected, especially regarding the mobilization of WMDs in Iraq which is a much different than possession of WMDs alone when deciding if something is an direct threat? Does it take character lock up his veto pen so another generation can pay for it? What about lying about WARRANTLESS wiretapping, especially considering that this was allegedly engaged in before 9/11? Sorry but it seems character is just an empty word to describe somebody one blindly supports or to explain hypocrisy in the case of the McCain-Bush comparison. How about the fact that Bush ever called himself conservative in the first place? There’s a lie many of us can agree on.
Then you finally talk about something real, tax cuts. As I remember it, McCain opposed Bush’s tax cuts, first because he had his own plan and second because Bush’s didn’t do enough to pay down the debt in his view. I would say McCain was right on that part, whether he was lying about his justification to engage in some conspiratorial spite plot as you allege, I would have to see some proof before I come over to your side on that one. He wasn’t for tax hikes, he wanted to allegedly go after the debt.
LevStrauss on February 5, 2008 at 6:01 PM
McCain only reaches across the aisle so he can unzip Ted Kennedy’s fly.
He should ask the fat f*ck to at least have the decency to leave some change on the nightstand, so that he’d have some money to run his campaign with.
Misha I on February 5, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Thank you for sharing. That was very special. We are now all dumber for reading it.
BKennedy on February 5, 2008 at 6:07 PM
I already, cut my own hair(shave my head with #2 guard), also I mostly drink water anyhow and I do not drink alcohol AT ALL.. so.. most of that list is already done. :}
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 6:07 PM
I may hold my nose and vote for McCain but he won’t get a dime.
ctmom on February 5, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Lehosh on February 5, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Well obviously that post wasn’t addressed to you, but there are many people who still support Bush but hate McCain, and I would like to know why since it is generally accepted that McCain is more conservative than Bush. I also brought up the Romney “assault” weapon ban promise, in the face of what looks like a wider Democrat majority, to show just how flawed Romney is as a conservative. Clinton’s “assault” weapons ban brought many conservatives out of the woodwork to defeat him in congressional races, now the “conservative” candidate will let Nancy Pelosi decide what is an “assault weapon” and ban it.
LevStrauss on February 5, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Those gringo dolares are a key (but unspoken) part of the Mexican economy. No way the telemundo crowd is going to spend money in America.
highhopes on February 5, 2008 at 6:13 PM
McCain can hit up his wife for a few bucks, he’s not getting one red dime from me. After sputtering and getting all red faced over his failed Shamnesty plans, clearly showing his distaste and dislike of citizens that have only asked for the law to be followed – I’ll not vote for him, I’ll not contribute to his ambition of screwing the United States further, and hopefully I’ll not have to suffer watching his inauguration.
24K lady on February 5, 2008 at 6:14 PM
No McCain shilling. I already said that I am a Paul supporter and can feel the Romney-ites pain at watching McCain win even though I really don’t understand why they feel that bad since many have supported bigger libs.
McCain is the worst of types in my opinion, a Teddy Roosevelt cultist. He has absolutely no concept of Federalism and craves power and praise more than anybody. He will take the idea of a unitary executive to the next level and hide behind his heroic actions of yesteryear as he currently does. Yes his military service should receive praise, but it doesn’t excuse everything since.
LevStrauss on February 5, 2008 at 6:17 PM
QFT.
Lehosh on February 5, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Mmmmm, I think not. The GOP establishment treats the base like dirt. Just look at the lying old fart they’re trying to push onto us now. They’re still peeved at us for not going along with shamnesty. McCain will get my vote (if worse comes to worse), but that is it. And he won’t even get that if he puts Huckleberry Succubus on the ticket.
argos on February 5, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Republicans will rock the Allah and Dave vote by building femmebots.
Dave Shay on February 5, 2008 at 6:27 PM
Nope, I am through with the Republican Party. It will be 4 years of democrap rule even if that phony idiot, McCain, wins. Nope, no more of my money to the Republicans. I am switching my voter registration to “no affiliation”.
Zorro on February 5, 2008 at 6:30 PM
I have 500 dollars ready and waiting for Mitt Romney if he wins the nomination. For John McCain, not one red cent. Nada, nothing, zilch. Sorry guys.
Gartrip on February 5, 2008 at 6:38 PM
I will take my conscience and vote 3rd party. I will not donate or vote for a liberal in rino clothing.
fdldd on February 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Well, it depends on who it is. If it is either McCain (or remotely possible, Huckleberry), Not one red cent.
If it is Romney, Maybe.
If we luck out and get a really good conservative out a brokered convention….. I’ll set a (personal) record for the amount donated.
LegendHasIt on February 5, 2008 at 7:03 PM
How about we sue the RNC for malpractice? Ever since the shamnesty scam, the party has been splintered into Liliputian-sized kindling.
I will donate to Mitt if he remains viable, but McCain can suck wind.
I miss sleepyhead Fred.
The Race Card on February 5, 2008 at 7:35 PM
I don’t want to run afoul of any of McCain’s precious campaign finance laws.
Kralizec on February 5, 2008 at 7:39 PM
No. No. NO. NO NO! HELL NO!!!!!
My party has left me. I will only support conservative candidates.
Charles Martel on February 5, 2008 at 7:43 PM
Money for nothing and your illegals for free.
McCain McSucks.
profitsbeard on February 5, 2008 at 7:44 PM
McCain never Romney, till the limit is reached.
hpk1942 on February 5, 2008 at 7:52 PM
So, umm, what is happening with the money that Fred got?
- The Cat
MirCat on February 5, 2008 at 9:41 PM
NOT AT THIS POINT!
JDH on February 5, 2008 at 9:55 PM
I haven’t sent money in to the RNC lately because of Mel Martinez. He is an idiot. I want someone to believe in. Right now I believe in Romney. I have believed in him from the beginning. I would bet others wish they would have never waited on Fred and made a decision earlier. I know I wish they would have.
JDH on February 5, 2008 at 10:00 PM
HAHAHAHA
NOT A DIME
Nothing
Nada
Ziltch
Zip
I’ll just wait till the Dems are in power and they can steal $$$’s out of my paycheck. I’m not PAYING the RNC to do what the Dems will do for free.
Bicyea on February 5, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Hmm, looks like it’ll be McCain.
Well, at least I’ll get to keep my money a little bit longer then… because he won’t even get my vote, much less a donation.
Although his class warfare speeches during his opposition to the tax cuts makes me think he’s going to simply take money from me later…
Why would I want to rush matters?
gekkobear on February 5, 2008 at 11:18 PM
If it’s McCain then, …. not only no but HELL NO !!!
Ghostbuster on February 5, 2008 at 11:52 PM
I agree with you Ghostbuster. Mcidiot can do without my money or my vote
limowilliam on February 5, 2008 at 11:58 PM
Sorry but I cannot support McCain. I will be sitting out the election this November. The first one since 1972 when I cast my first national vote. The Republican party in John McCain is today like the drunk on the corner that wallows in his whiskey bottle across the street from the Democrat prostitutes that he flirts with daily. Like that drunk, we must fall down in the gutter so completely that only a miracle of conservative insight and of true Reagan conservative principals will return this party to greatness again. I am so disgusted tonight.
mustng66 on February 6, 2008 at 12:15 AM
HEH. The RNC called me for a donation just an hour or so ago.
I almost feel sorry for the poor dweeb that got assigned to dial my number.
Almost.
LegendHasIt on February 6, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Too bad they don’t sell McDonald’s gift certificates anymore. I’d send one to McPain so that he could go choke on a Big Mac.
pilamaye on February 6, 2008 at 5:45 AM
Nope…not a dime.
America will be poorly served by either Hillary or McCain…I’d rather not destroy what remains of the Republican party in the process by donating or voting for McCain.
Asher on February 6, 2008 at 8:56 AM
The money will flow when the candidate is chosen. However, the money and votes are not for the individual but to fight politicians or special interest from gaining anymore control over our lives.
Remember, there is a Constitution and we must return to the precepts set forth in it and to tell our politicians they are not allowed to make anymore rules until they have repealed the ones they have made that have enslaved us.
MSGTAS on February 6, 2008 at 9:24 AM
I, (a life-long conservative) cannot vote for Juan McCain. Other than being liberal, there is something not right about the man…. in his eyes and over-all demeanor. He does not look to be a person who likes himself.
Is McCain, Huckabee, Hillary, and Obama all what America has left. God bless this Country and may it rest in peace.
Ernest on February 6, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Ummm, no. Sorry Laura, it’s a train to nowhere.
infidel4life on February 6, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I will support only genuine Conservative candidates.
That leaves out McCain, who is neither genuine nor Conservative.
And no matter what happens, no money for the RNC because it has consistently wasted 100% of what I have sent in the past. Any contributions from me will go directly to the candidate I want to support.
landlines on February 6, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Aren’t you supposed to be over 18 to be allowed to post without your parents’ consent?
landlines on February 6, 2008 at 11:13 AM
If the nominee is Fred, I will be happy to donate (brokered convention, brokered convention). If the nominee is Mitt, I will unenthusiastically donate. If it’s John, well I’m not ready to commit to even voting for him at this point.
