What a scam. Apparently they did something similar in 2000. Pretty shady way to fundraise if you ask me.

Pfff. GOP isn't getting one dime from me. Not that I have any spare dimes to give. But still, I have way too many problems with the GOP to support them with donations, despite my opposition to the general liberal agenda.

The GOP doesn't need to trick people into making donations...they get their money.

Call me late for dinner then.

If they don't NEED to fool people, why do they keep doing it, and consider it a quite lucrative initiative?

Quote:
"Of course, duping people is the point. ... That's one of the reasons why it works so well,” said one Republican operative familiar with the program, who said it’s among the RNC’s most lucrative fundraising initiatives. “They will likely mail millions this year [with] incredible targeting.”

I'd like to know what their target demographic is with this...that should be funny and revealing.
