Do Republicans have to "trick" people when fundraising?

[Some Guy]

Defending decit, Wow just wow

Once again. That mailing is only deceptive if you can't read.

...

You can read, can't you?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How on earth can anyone be tricked when the document specifically says it's Republican and that money donated will go to the Republican party?

The Democrat base is not too bright.

Then why does it say, "CENSUS ENCLOSED"?

census..An official, usually periodic enumeration of a population, often including the collection of related demographic information.

Don't worry rdean, if Democrats had thought of it first and were doing it, it would be perfectly fine..especially with you..

Remember also that Fabian socialist wackaloons are all about semantics, when they limply attempt to distance themselves form the collectivist authoritarian apparatchiks that they are.

Strange how that happens.

I've been getting those from the GOP for YEARS.

They always want money and I never give them a dime.

Case closed!

Because it tricks dumb Democrats. Republicans are smart enough to know it's a fund raiser.

Funny how the republicans hold their own accountable, and the democrats try and defend their own.

Got anything else for us, TDM?

Like you held Bush accoutable for spending like a drunken sailor?

Holding them accountable is re-electing them?

So you are saying that barry is a one term president?

Possibly, too early to say for sure.
But unless the right gets their act together....

but I fail to see that conclusion from my post.

We don't need new laws to cover this.

It is fraud.

It is a federal offense to use the US mail to commit fraud.

Those that dreamt this up need to be arrested and tried and convicted and sent to federal prison.

Just that simple.

"Census" Mailer Ban Becomes Law

By Dan Roem
Pres. Obama this morning signed new legislation aimed at banning solicitations that look like Census Bureau documents, a favorite technique of GOP fundraisers.

The Prevent Deceptive Census Look Alike Mailings Act came in direct response to a Feb. 8 RNC fundraising mailer with the words "Congressional District Census" marked on its envelop and cover letter. The new law prohibits the USPS from delivering any new letters that look like they could be Census documents.

“When Americans receive a mailing that looks like it’s from their government, they should be able to trust that it actually is,”

No wonder Republicans hate government. Tricked by their own party.

RNC 'Census' Fundraising Mailer, sent 4/12/10 | TPM Document Collection

CENSUS ENCLOSED?????????????

Do Democrats have to lie about where their funds came from? Let's not pretend either side is whiter than white.

PolitiFact | Obama campaign financed by large donors, too

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Can we trust Dems to tell that these are fun raisins and not someone Fund Raising?

 

[DiamondDave]

People by and large are not too observant. We elected Bush twice.

And then became less observant after apparent frontal lobotomies and elected Obama

 

[DiamondDave]

Yes they do.

My republican senator John Ensign has raised 50 bucks for his re elction campaign to date.

You read that right 50 bucks

Funny how the republicans hold their own accountable, and the democrats try and defend their own.

Got anything else for us, TDM?

Holding them accountable is re-electing them?

Tough choice when offered Kerry.... but still the better choice, even with his reckless spending... I am one to fully believe the spending would have been worse under a far lefty like Kerry

Beliefs, but no way to prove one way or the other.

I did not like Kerry but no way could I bring myself to vote for Bush or throw my vote away on a third party.
Did not really matter as my state went for Bush, but I have to vote for the one I feel to be the least dangerous.
Or more accurately against the most dangerous one.
bush was proven to suck, Kerry was just suspected to suck as president.

You are right.. we could only go on what he was running with.. and his history of supporting entitlements and massive spending were not something that I liked (just as I did not like Bush with his spending).. then it came down to views on national security, etc and I made the choice to vote for Bush and not a write in or 3rd party candidate (of which none really appealed to me anyway)...

With Kerry... and my choice not to vote for him.. as on that exact basis of not voting for the more dangerous one

Well.. I am sure he did read his e-mail from Nigeria promising him a cut of 24MIL dollars, before he sent his $400000 advance fee to set it up

He's using the money he's getting from Bill Gates for forwarding emails to pay for it

I was just wondering, because the document says things like:

"This is not a government document"

"Commissioned by the Republican Party"

"The Republican Party is conducting a census of individual districts across America"

And also, the return envelope is addressed to the Republican National Committee.

So, if you were able to read, you would understand that this isn't an attempt to deceive or commit fraud, hence the previous question. Thanks for answering though.

Apparently your glasses need cleaned because I see where the use of the word "Census" is in the biggest font. Wheras it is fraudulent to have it included at all unless displayed in a question or some other clear offset. It is akin to displaying a phoney badge for the purpose of commiting a crime...a government badge.. It's been a peach squishing you tidbit but when ya grow up big and strong drop by for a re-match...
