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?

Let’s get this drumbeat goin’.
Vizzini on February 5, 2008 at 4:36 PM
I’ll be donating to the conservative third party candidate, if McCain is the nominee.
Buddahpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:36 PM
If it’s someone I would vote for, of course.
If it’s not someone I would vote for, of course not.
ErikTheRed on February 5, 2008 at 4:37 PM
McCain: hell no.
Romney: possibly.
John_Locke on February 5, 2008 at 4:37 PM
I’ll donate ONLY IF THE NOMINEE IS A REPUBLICAN!!!
(No money for Liberal moles)
…and not a penny for the RNC, which has wasted every cent I’ve ever sent them!!
landlines on February 5, 2008 at 4:38 PM
I’ll donate to the GOP, just because it’s part of a bigger Republican cause. Bigger donations to Congressional candidates, though.
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:38 PM
It’ll be interesting to see how pitiful our fundraising will be compared to Dems, especially having John “Let’s punish Wall Street” McCain as our nominee.
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:40 PM
No.
McCain will be lucky to even get my vote.
NeoconNews.com on February 5, 2008 at 4:40 PM
A chance to donate my own money to a candidate I disagee with, who is trying to destroy my party, and has very little chance of actually winning?
Quick let me get my checkbook.
(do I get bumpersticker along with my donation so that all my neighbors will know what an easy mark I am?)
billy on February 5, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Nope.
Onager on February 5, 2008 at 4:41 PM
I may drop a few pesos in the mail along with a brick and a head of lettuce if McCain’s the nominee, otherwise I’ll scrape up some cash.
NTWR on February 5, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Vote for the lying Democrat or vote for the lying RINO?
Humbug.
Stephen M on February 5, 2008 at 4:41 PM
McCain: Never!!!!!
CABE on February 5, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Nope.
SimplyKimberly on February 5, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Nope. Gonna save all I can to help pay that 50 cent gasoline tax to fight off global warming. This is that quiet, grass roots rebellion the GOP fears. Going to get a lot worse. They’ve lost the Hillary hate edge, or rather, diluted it out.
a capella on February 5, 2008 at 4:42 PM
No. If McCain wants to represent conservative values from the Oval Office the way his delegates represented conservatives today in WV, hell no.
JustTruth101 on February 5, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Lick the wounds, my friends..
No need in making them fester, or for infection to set in.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
My Money – no
My vote – perhaps
omnipotent on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
I’ll vote for McCain, but I won’t donate to him.
Slublog on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Not for McCain.
Geronimo on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Laura Ingraham’s on board. Are you?
sloopy on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
No.
paul006 on February 5, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Chakra, will you finally be happy when Hillary or Obama wins? because if so, you are getting there. No need to be so snippy and snide, you’re winning man. Go socialism!
JustTruth101 on February 5, 2008 at 4:45 PM
So we should not only vote for, but donate to, a candidate who we don’t support, has voted against us on major issues, and has spit in our faces?
Gotcha.
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Interestly I just got an email from Freedom watch asking me for money to back conservative causes. I really wish I could but the one thing i have short supply of is money.
William Amos on February 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM
No money and no vote.
I donated once to the RNC and for three years I’ve been telling them to remove my name from their calling list. I will never donate money again.
moonsbreath on February 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM
From the looks of this thread, you may have to go on reduced wages down the road.
a capella on February 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM
I’d give to Obama before I’d give to McCain.
TOPV on February 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Wow, I got the quote bar exactly backwards, but my message to them is we’ll see.
sloopy on February 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM
You’re Juan Hernandez aren’t you? You gave it away with “my friends.”
Geronimo on February 5, 2008 at 4:47 PM
No more money for any of these bullshit artists. Not another penny.
If McCain is the GOP candidate, I’m voting for (presumably) Hillary. Deadly serious. If Obama is the Dem nominee, I’m walking away from the whole abortion.
If Romney (or, by miracle, another) is the main man, I’ll umm and ahh a while longer.
LimeyGeek on February 5, 2008 at 4:47 PM
I have a donation for McCain….
It comes in a small clear plastic cup…. wait let me concentrate here…
jake-the-goose on February 5, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Checkbook at the ready. Account balance not so much.
There will be a check going out.

DON’T be a Jackass this election!
chsw on February 5, 2008 at 4:48 PM
How about instead, I give $50 bucks to the nice lady at the message parlor?
I’d feel better doing that.
natesnake on February 5, 2008 at 4:49 PM
I posted it in another thread but will also put it here.
Obama/ flying mario burrito 08 !
Want an obama with your fries ?
William Amos on February 5, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Can someone please tell me who Chakra is supporting? I was just wondering since he fills the comment sections with so many snide comments. I also wish I could just “block” his comments to not waste my time reading them, they’re all the same, all juvenile, all “nanny nanny boo boo” and just plain freaking tiresome.
JustTruth101 on February 5, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Oh and SHAME ON YOU, Laura Ingraham. Don’t complain about McCain if you’re going to back him.
That’s just nucking futz.
moonsbreath on February 5, 2008 at 4:49 PM
If mccain is the nominee then I say Clinton/Nunn in 2008!
peacenprosperity on February 5, 2008 at 4:49 PM
“message parlor” lol
Some kinky ‘net IM cafe?
LimeyGeek on February 5, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Hence the reason Chicago hot dog joints shouldn’t double as polling precincts. :-)
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:50 PM
If I weren’t such an optimist, I would have started the Pepto intravenously at exactly this moment.
simon on February 5, 2008 at 4:51 PM
I’m gonna send Ino Yamanaka, over to your house to perform the Mind Body Switch Technique(Shintenshin no Jutsu), and force you to vote for McCain..
If that fails, I will send Shikamaru Nara over to capture you into a Shadow Possession Jutsu, and march you over to the polls and make you vote for Big Mac!
If Both fail, Choji Akimichi will attack you with a Spiked Meatball attack!
Team 10 will sent on this mission.. >:}
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:52 PM
I’m not giving John McCain a dime. Nor will I lift a finger for the Maverick. He’s a self-built giant whose independence is legendary. Now he gets to live with the legend. Alone.
spmat on February 5, 2008 at 4:52 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
That is the flat out funniest headline I’ve seen all year.
Misha I on February 5, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Rudy was my FIRST CHOICE, even before he announced that he was running, now that he has endorsed McCain, I will Vote for McCain.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 4:54 PM
What are you implying? Helga is an extremely insightful person with a glorious set …..of….. hands.
Shame on you!
natesnake on February 5, 2008 at 4:54 PM
I’m still holding out for some Mittmentum, but fwiw I still say I’ll vote for McCain over any Dem candidate… but I will NOT donate money to him. Never.
RightWinged on February 5, 2008 at 4:54 PM
Read my lips…..not gonna do it!
dmann on February 5, 2008 at 4:54 PM
…Oh, and I wanted to add that this push will fail miserably (because we’re all so demoralized), and it will be embarrassing in light of what the Paulnuts have put together on their “one day” fund raising events.
RightWinged on February 5, 2008 at 4:55 PM
I may vote for him, but I will reform my campaign finances and not send any money to elect John McCain.
MT on February 5, 2008 at 4:56 PM
If it’s John McCain, I’ll be saving all the money I can so I can better ride out his liberal fiscal and environmental policies….
ErikTheRed on February 5, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Ha!
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:57 PM
GOP needs a wake up call more then it needs more cash.

Amazing, isn’t it.
“Screw you conservatives, we don’t need you, we’ll pick our own guy……Want to donate to us?”
amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 4:59 PM
McCains not getting our votes(family and friends) or one red cent!
PTN 39 on February 5, 2008 at 4:59 PM
No money for McCain, sorry, no way, no how!
Didn’t like him in 2000, dislike him more now.
You’re on your own if Johnny gets the nod.
jawbone on February 5, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Isn’t it bad form to laugh at train wrecks? ;)
If he’s a Narutard that would explain a lot….
liquidflorian on February 5, 2008 at 5:01 PM
I like that. Pesos for McCain.
NeoconNews.com on February 5, 2008 at 5:01 PM
McCain can go to HELL where belongs.
Igor R. on February 5, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Sometimes you make me sooo mad! But I wonder, do you think we will ever agree on a candidate?
If it were Huck and Fred, you’d go for Fred right?
-performs the Healing Chakra on Chakra Hammer’s mind-
Now go, go vote for Romney and be a good Republican =)
CABE on February 5, 2008 at 5:03 PM
…
Potential for lots of entertainment here. I wonder if he would lease out his blimp if the GOP can’t afford to buy their own. Just print a derogatory slang word for Orientals on the side and they’re good to go.
a capella on February 5, 2008 at 5:03 PM
billy, I’m 33
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 5:03 PM
For Mitt YES
For McLair “I am sorry Juan but I have a budget short fall this year, things might be different if I would have gotten that 50$ an hour lettuce picking job you said I wouldn’t do.”
Mojack420 on February 5, 2008 at 5:03 PM
I would hold off. November is a long time, any candidate my implode by then, (quite likely with McMaverick), and my prediction there will be a conservative third party candidate running and a liberal fourth party candidate.
The vote in November will have at least a 3-way split, and pretty likely 4.
Starlink on February 5, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Yeah, sure. If it is McCain, I’ll go down to the Walmart parking lot and pass the cup around to all the fine day workers there — pick up some “Nuevo” pesos for McCain.
SunSword on February 5, 2008 at 5:05 PM
Hey, watch it, my daughter’s watch Naruto and I watch it with them.

You can’t get the Presidency Mr. McCain, you just CAN’T DO IT MY FRIEND!

Not a chance….
Romeo13 on February 5, 2008 at 5:05 PM
OMG, I’d forgotten all about those! I gotta find their mailing address, I’m going to print up a bunch of those.
sloopy on February 5, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Send money to a Republican group to help elect McCain?
Better to just send the money directly to Mexico, and skip the middleman.
AZCoyote on February 5, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Chronologically maybe.
billy on February 5, 2008 at 5:06 PM
I am gonna give money to a guy that was almost John Kerry’s running mate…….Not on your freakin’ life !
DoctorDentons on February 5, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Is she? I think there’s a line between voting and donating.
Lehosh on February 5, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Huck or Fred… only two on the ballot?
To tell you the truth, I’m not sure.
I would lean Fred, however, his lack of energy and enthusiasm would give me great pause.
Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Hey, what currency do they use in Aztlan? Well that’s how he is going to get his donations.
Igor R. on February 5, 2008 at 5:08 PM
La Raza can donate to their own damned candidate.
If McMaverick is indeed the nominee, I’ll vote for him in November. But I’m not sending him a dime.
Dave Shay on February 5, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Naruto is awesome.
Chakra Hammer is just a troll without a bridge.
I really wish he’d just go back to the Village of the Sound and practice his endless silence jutsu.
BKennedy on February 5, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Never.
2Brave2Bscared on February 5, 2008 at 5:09 PM
I’ve received approximately 20 campaign phone calls and
automated survey campaign phone calls in the last 5 days
and ALL of them have been from McCain’s campaign. In all
the automated survey calls I selected a #1 choice and #2
choice, neither of which were McCain. Then the plethera of
recorded campaign messages started. One of them is some old
geezer who states that McCain is the best choice for
President because he was a POW and served with honor etc
etc etc, and that’s the ONLY reason the geezer gave to vote
for McCain. While I respect his service and honorable POW time, it’s hardly the most important thing on my list of
POTUS qualities.
I would not and will not vote for McCain under any
circumstances. He done burned that bridge long ago, plus
he’s a RINO snake in the grass. If it comes down to McCain
getting the nod, I’ll be voting for POTUS off party lines
for the first time in my life.
SilverStar830 on February 5, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Chakra is a troll without a candidate ever since Rudy bit the dust.

I think there’s a line between vomiting and regurgitating, but it doesn’t make either an appealing choice
LimeyGeek on February 5, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Not one cent for tribute if it’s John McCain. While I was opposed to him on principle in the beginning, having observed his tactics as of late I don’t foresee my disgust abating sufficiently to donate to the cause, particularly since the fact that their coffers are empty is partly McCain’s fault.
These are my non-negotiable conditions:
1. Renounce McCain-Feingold and support and sign new legislation which would make it moot.
2. Change position on closing GITMO and opposition to waterboarding.
3. Stop advocating a position which penalizes taxpayers because of his misguided global warming agenda.
4. Announce support for drilling in ANWR.
5. Build the goddamned fence.
Buy Danish on February 5, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Nope, no money from me.
p0s3r on February 5, 2008 at 5:11 PM
No, not for McCain under any circumstances.

Boooo!! BKennedy likes Orochimaru!!

Chakra Hammer on February 5, 2008 at 5:12 PM
Let McCain feel the pain: don’t donate to his campaign.
Igor R. on February 5, 2008 at 5:12 PM
$0 if it’s McVain. If it’s Romney, $100. I might actually get an ROI from that, if his record at Bain is any indication. But it might be hopeless. I get the feeling Romney is the John Kerry of 2008, which is sad because of his business accumen.
Unrelated, for some reason a lot of Narutards are backing Ron Paul, at least if you go by any of the anime irc channels, where hardcore fans hang out. Paul and his alien-elf love child buddy Kucinich I’d say are 1 and 2.
Republicans could rock the key Narutard/Otaku/beta male vote by promising to invest defense R&D into building real life mecha and unrestricted relay broadcasts of Japanese tv stations.

Don’t blaspheme against Naruto… It’s a candle in the devouring darkness that is Cartoon Network programming.
Lehosh on February 5, 2008 at 5:20 PM
McCain will not get a single red cent from me. He is a dirty colluding scumbag who hides behind his war record like a lady’s skirt to deflect valid criticism.
He is almost as loathsome as his enabling waterboy Huckabee, who is driven by religious bigotry.

Just saw a newsclip. McCain said (paraphrase) about Iraq: ‘Some said we should set timetables in Iraq. You know what that means? Surrender.’
No class, no money.
Slublog on February 5, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Probably, but unenthusiastically. And my husband will be very unhappy.
But I’m used to contributing to candidates that I’m less-than-thrilled with.
Security Mom on February 5, 2008 at 5:24 PM
To all the people who refuse to vote for McCain with a vengence, I have to ask, why do many of you say that people who oppose the President with equal energy BDS types? McCain is a lot more conservative than Bush, all the stuff McCain sponsored Bush signed, Bush never saw an entitlement that he didn’t like, etc. Why are so many anti McCain folks so supportive of Bush when he is more liberal?
Now to all the Romney people who said that they wouldn’t vote for McCain. I feel your pain because I am a Paul supporter but I couldn’t help but notice many people telling me that refusing to vote for the Republican candidate is a vote for Democratic Socialism. Why the sudden change folks?
Now up until last week I would have considered holding my nose and voting for Romney but he chose to laugh at Congressman Paul on Florida radio and thus lost any chance of me casting my “viable” anti McCain vote, not a smart move when five to ten percent means a lot now. Also I find it rather sickening and amusing at the same time that all the “Conservatives” are running to the Massachusetts flip flopper that supports an assault weapons ban. What have you “conservatives” become? Stick with the abusive husband and this is what you get. The Republican establishment screws you and screws you some more and you’ll all crawl back in November when the Supreme Court starts coming out with a couple of close opinions and the water carriers get you to hold your nose and vote for amnesty.
