IIRC it isn’t. I think Hillary’s campaign got caught doing this. She said she had no knowledge of it. Happens on both sides of the fence.
oh, I should add- some contributors are recompensated for those contributions - their bosses use the ploy to avoid the soft money caps. So you’d give $1000, and your boss would cut you a check next week for it.
How about this? If you give me $1,000, I will run for political office, but on the campaign platform of your choice! Just think of the possibilities!
I’ve gotten those envelopes also. Believe me, stamping “Do not fold, presidential photo enclosed” is not going to entice me to open the fucking thing. It gives me great glee to rip them in half while growling “fuck you, you chimp motherfucker” just before chucking them in the recycle bin. Recycling something from the Republican Party also gives me great pleasure in the irony of it all.
Give me $1000 and not only will I never run for public office, but your wife will wash and wax your books, CDs & DVDs, & your car will give her an orgasm.
Not all promises are necessarily true.
You sound like a man whose idea of integrity in politics is : “When I’m bought I STAY bought!!”
I forgot about that, that was one of the better parts. My mailman folded it in half.

I find myself yelling this at the television whenever W is talking. Also “shut up!” and “my eyes, the googles, zhey do nozhing!”
That’s always been my definition of an honest politician.
You should put the glossy pictures of Dubya and wife on e-bay with the promise that you will burn them in the name of the highest bidder. Donate the money to the Kerry campaign.
