GOP Group Operating Websites That SUCKER Democrats Into DONATING MONEY
(http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Sink1.jpg)
A Florida man complained about being targeted for Republican fundraising emails after mistakenly donating money against a Democratic congressional candidate thanks to a website he says is misleading.
The Tampa Bay Times reported on Monday that Ray Bellamy intended to contribute to former state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink’s campaign online. Instead, he went to “sinkforcongress2014,†part of a group of Republican-controlled websites designed to resemble pages boosting Democratic candidates.
“After sending what I thought was a contribution of 250 dollars to Sink, I get a page clearly thanking me for attempting to defeat Democrats, Obama, and Pelosi,†Bellamy told the Times, adding that the page contained a picture of Rep. Greg Walden (R-OH), who leads the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), leading him to call the NRCC and ask for his money back. “The receptionist Kate, who would not give her last name, and would not transfer me to the Finance Dept., said the NRCC let credit card companies handle such requests,†Bellamy was quoted as saying. “She would not refund my money. My credit card company is mailing me papers to register a complaint or challenge the charge.â€
NBC News reported that Bellamy was later given a refund. NRCC spokesperson Andrea Bozek told NBC that her organization would also offer refunds to any donor who feels they were misled. At the same time, however, she rejected the idea that their websites — which feature candidates in several other states besides Florida — were meant to trick anyone. “Democrats are clearly pitching stories on these effective websites because they are worried about voters learning the truth about their candidates’ disastrous records,†Bozek was quoted as saying. “Anyone who reads the website understand these are negative attacks. Also as required our disclaimer is at the bottom.â€

The primitives have to remember something.
All that Republicans and conservatives know about dirty tricks, we learned from the Democrats, liberals, and primitives.
And in such things, we're still only 7th-graders in junior high, while they're in graduate study in college.
They thought of it, they started it, and they refined it.
We're just following their lead, and I wish to Hell we'd catch up.

A fool and his money... You can figure out the rest.

If a person is stupid enough to give their financial information to a website without reading anything on the page then I have trouble feeling much sympathy for them.

This may be more of a sneaky democrat attack than a single fool.
Falsely accuse the opponent of fraud during an election is typical for rat mudslinging.

I wonder if they are using their EBT cards to make campaign contributions?

I know exactly how he feels.
I get pissed off when democratic candidates design their media campaigns to look as if they're pro-America.

"Make a Contribution Today to Help Defeat Alex Sink and candidates like her"
- Yeah, real ambiguous.. :mental:
Though I must admit - the Picture Does seem To engage In Randomly capitalizing Words, which does make it seem like a DUmmy wrote it.

I visited that site, and there is absolutely nothing to indicate a favorable view of Sink.
With that, and the unambiguous statement about defeating Sink, anyone who can be DUped, deserves to be DUped.

Yes, he also had some guy who shared the name of some local black leader (or something) endorse him. Only this guy was white and from Iowa. I think I got that right or at least close enough for gub-mint work.
-

My first thought too. That damned "complicated butterfly ballot" :mental: that had them completely baffled in 2000. I miss the old days when people were ashamed to be stupid. Now they call their Congressman and write the newspaper to declare their stupidity loud and proud.

Eddie Murphy's movie "The Distinguished Gentleman" showed that sort of thing in great detail. His campaign slogan was along the line of "Vote Johnson, the name you know."
There was also some good stuff about the shady dealings going on in Congress.

I think your right. I've read a lot of stories about employers unable to find qualified or trainable applicants. Too many people can't even pass simple reading and math tests, let alone stay past a training period.

These are the same people who got themselves locked into adjustable rate mortgages and bought a house they could never afford because they didn't read the mortgage contract or understand the concept that an adjustable rate mortgage adjusts UP, and cry to the government how they were duped by predatory lending practices and need to be forgiven for their debts.

I visited www.alexsinkforcongress2014.com, and it left me feeling melancholy for the days of www.electstevedawes.com.
It looks like the Friends of Steve Dawes were ahead of the curve on compiling that sort of website.

Lowest of the low: Repubs are stealing Dem campaign donations.
Last edited Tue Feb 4, 2014, 10:39 AM - Edit history (1)

" And they are doing it a LOT. In the game of ethical Limbo that is American politics, the GOPee has gone as low as anyone can go.vThe scam works like this:
The National Republican Congressional Committee has launched a series of websites that look like they support a Democratic candidate for Congress, but instead direct contributions to the Republican Party instead.
The Tampa Bay Times interviews one donor who thought he was giving to Alex Sink’s (D) congressional campaign. It even used the same blue and green color scheme as the candidate’s official website.
Said the donor: “It looked legitimate and had a smiling face of Sink and all the trappings of a legitimate site.â€
However, it was actually a website for the candidate’s “Republican†opponent, set up to con Dems into unknowingly giving money to Repubs. Stealing. Dirty tricks have now become filthy tricks.
And it turns out that this started in December. The Elephant Asses are using the current gridlock at the Federal Election Commission to their advantage, since it will take months or perhaps years before any action might be taken. So they are lying, deceiving, and stealing the while. And it’s not just a few bad apples: the national party is running the scam.
Tell us again, why you would ever support such a party. Because if you do, you support criminals. If you vote Red, you are telling all of us that you are pro-robbery. And frankly, I wouldn’t trust such a scumbucket around my daughters, my wallet, or even my piggy bank.
Repubs: thieves, plain and simple. Since no one will throw these crooks in jail, let’s at least vote them out of office."

"Yes this is low, but Democrats have been doing this for years".
Of course, without any sort of back up. Meh, trolls.
No surprise there.

Trick Websites Dupe Democrats Into Donating To Republicans | ThinkProgress
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/02/03/3242381/republicans-trick-voters-donating-democratic-candidates/
The National Republican Congressional Committee has set up a number of websites that look like they could be a Democratic candidate’s campaign page, unless you read the fine print. They may even violate a Federal Election Commission regulation, Campaign Legal Center expert Paul S. Ryan explained to ThinkProgress.
The NRCC has set up these pages for various congressional opponents, including Amanda Renteria (CA), Martha Roberston (NY), Kyrsten Sinema (AZ), Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ), Alex Sink (FL), and John Tierney (MA). Each follow a similar format; they list the candidate’s name “for Congress†to ask for donations:

Money and it's fool are soon parted.

-Primitives, you want an example of liberals gaming the system ? Sure - From TruthOut...
Approaching the caucuses, #OccupyIowa and progressive community groups promoted a variety of tactics for individual activists. One option was to register as a “Republican for a Day†(Iowa allows same-day registration) and to support “uncommitted†delegates to the state convention. This was essentially the equivalent of voting “none of the above†for the conservatives in the running. Some on the left did the same thing at the Democratic Party’s caucuses, issuing a symbolic vote of no confidence for President Obama.
If I recall, you idiots cheer this on every time it happens.
Lets go back even further, to the days of 'Vote Trading' , where the plan was to trade a vote for Ralph Nader in a safe Democrat stronghold for a Democrat vote in a tougher territory.. here is a link to one of the last remaining sites. http://msnoh.tripod.com/nader.htm
So, yeah.. Do you DUmmies want me to post more stuff ? -Because I can. These were just the first examples of Democrat "initiatives" to come to mind.

Ask the neckbeard how all of that bait and switch works. He's aware of the finer points.

You know, after seeing this campfire, I now regret that the friends of the big guy never thought to have a "donate" option on their much-better campaign web-site.
Seeing how the big guy's an infant when it comes to wisely spending money, his friends probably could've spent his funds in a more productive manner.

Wait, is this DUmmy accusing Skimmer of being a repuke?
And that reminds me. When is Skimmer going to start up this years Valentine heart scam?
He uses the heart scam for his spring tour of Europe every year.

When I first saw the ad, I thought for sure some DUmmie mistook Alex Sink for ALEC and so contributed money to help sink ALEC.
But, I guess not.

10. Shady and desperate but not fraud as it is pretty prominent the intent is to defeat Sink.
A passing glance may lead to the opposite conclusion for sure but it isn't like it was a Sink ad that sent the money to her opponent or something like that.
