I know I have people who vote Republican read my blog. Please satisfy a long-standing curiosity. When you get money solicitations from your candidates are they also always desperate, tragic, and have subject lines like “All is lost”, “The end”, “We failed”, etc?
Is it a party thing or is the doom and gloom bipartisan?
I’ve started to hate the sight of my mailbox. It’s filled with so many desperate pleas that I’m getting an anxiety attack. Honestly, I’d be a lot more responsive to subject lines like “We can do it!”, “We shall win”, “Victory is imminent.” Why do they think everybody is into negative motivation?
In my entire life, I have gotten exactly two requests by mail for political contributions.
One was from the American Criminal Lover’s Union, and the other was from Hillary Clinton.
The Republicans apparently know that I’m too cheap to contribute to anything(except maybe an animal shelter).

Create a dummy email account and sign up for newsletters from various groups. That will do it and you’ll get all the solicitations you’d desire.
The other option is to find a Republican to donate to just once at any level and you’ll be on every Republican or Republican affiliated mailing or calling list forever.

Has anybody encountered a Republican candidate who is not totally repulsive and could be donated to? I haven’t seen one anywhere. It’s like they compete in who can be the most obnoxious.

Hey, I would donate to his campaign. The fellow clearly loves Arizona, weird as that might be. 😃

John Heinz (but the dude is deceased)…
Are there local candidates you’d like? Like for school board or state legislature? I mean, the liberal paper in my town endorsed the Republican incumbent mainly because he had such huge seniority on many congressional committees and brought in VA money to the county.
