It seems like they're begging for money whenever I turn my head. It seems to me that if they wouldn't ban everybody, they'd have access to more wallets.
I know some of you make your moles donate, I don't think I would have the stomach to do that.

I can't give them a dime of my money.

If I could, I would. Ya know why? Their unique brand of crazy would be out there for display to the world at large--and to American voters; perhaps moderates; perhaps wishy-washy Democrats. The chances of them reading a thread and saying, "You know? That's something I agree with," are quite a bit smaller than the same person reading a thread and saying, "That's absolutely nuts! I can't associate with the party that does that," and then going on and pulling a lever for something opposite what the DUmp thread promoted.
Shine light on cockroaches, and they scatter. Money to $kinner is light. The roaches/DUmp denziens react the same.

...and the grand prize is an all night stay with 3 Dummie wymins of your choice. ... sheets, pillowcases and penicillin not provided.

Skimmer's mole will win.

Yeah, like anyone who doesn't donate stands a chance of winning. Good find though, Miskie.

Name. address. Phone number.
No way.

Shouldn't Progressives practice what they preach? in the spirit of fairness, shouldn't they give out 2 equal prizes at a time? if you're going to give away a laptop to someone who donates, then isn't it only fair to give a laptop to someone who might not have the money to donate? that's kind of like having a group of 20 kids running for the ice cream truck and the adult who's paying says I can only buy ice cream for half the kids, so you have half the kids standing there eating their ice cream while the other half just watches them eat, and wishing someone would buy them an ice cream.

Oh well darn! that blew my whole argument, but I like my idea better because you know someone would win who donates and someone would win without donating, whereas the way they're doing it how do you know if someone wins who doesn't donate.

Well, my theory is that if enough conservatives flood Skimmers contest, yet they lose every single time to one of the few who donate, then a case could be made for fraud.

I would like to know who the winners are what percentage donated.

I think anyone who wins should be FORCED to donate their prize to someone less fortunate, like Bobolink.

True though, if people are able to donate and win a laptop, or if someone enters who didn't donate, they all have computers already, so why not donate to someone less fortunate who doesn't have a computer? I challenge the winner of the laptop to put their morals in action and donate their laptop.

And be forced to claim the value of the prize as income on their taxes.

For some reason contests like this seldom work out as well as initially planned. Andy Scam II the sequal? :popcorn:
