For the first time in my life, I donated to a political camgaign. I gave $100 to the RNC and $100 directly to the Romney campaign. The response: I get a mailing and appeal for more money every day!. Sometimes two a day! WTF!

I gave money this year because I am more afraid than ever that our nation will be gone in a few more years if Obama is re-elected. But, I'm really concerned that the Republicans are going to screw up this election again. The campaign is being mis-managed and Romney's message is muddled.

Let me be clear: I don't really like Romney or the Republican party. I'm supporting him because he must defeat this despicable president. But with the way I see things going so far, I have serious doubts these clowns can pull it off.

Writer seems to be unaware of his own contribution to this country's predicament:

The other day a fund-raiser for the Romney campaign called my house. The guy wanted a contribution of 200 dollars. I told the fund-raiser that I'd vote for Romney over Obama, but I didn't have much confidence in Romney.

[...]

How do we get stuck with these candidates? Why have we allowed this to go on for so long?

You get stuck with them because you vote for them, Einstein.

I made a small contribution to the RNC a number of years ago and only got a handful of follow-up mail. A year later, and I wasn't getting anything.
