$51 for 51 Senate Seats
— CAC

Challenging all morons to kick in $51 dollars for 51 seats today.
Donate $5 to each candidate below, and a buck to whomever you like in the Wisconsin or Missouri races. If there is any possible chance of undoing ObamaTax, you need more than just President Romney. You need a Republican Senate (and with seats to spare, IYKWIM,VCD).

MA-SENATE (Current hold, leans R, most vulnerable seat for us) DONATE
NV-SENATE (Current hold, leans R, 2nd most vulnerable)DONATE
VA-SENATE DONATE
OH-SENATE DONATE
FL-SENATE DONATE
ND-SENATE DONATE
MT-SENATE DONATE
NM-SENATE DONATE
MI-SENATE DONATE
PA-SENATE DONATE

MO, WI go to whomever you wish. Kick your $1 to 'em.
Holding the first two and flipping 4 of the next ten gets us 51 (Nebraska is ours), anything more is gravy.

Part of me wishes that I was still in PA just so I could see Casey go. Then the rest of me thinks what it would be like living through the last two years working for the liberal idiots who used to be my bosses and I'm desperately glad to be gone.

CAC, has there been any (semi) legitimate flash polls on the decision from yesterday?

I'm thinking that Zerocare caused the 2010 wave and this will cause another one.

But then again, logic has gone down the toilet lately.

Posted by: Joffen, fucking sunshine patriot at June 29, 2012 12:35 PM (caAEA)

In 2008 there was something called Rightroots PAC, which allowed you to donate online, and designate which candidates the money went to, without getting on all of their effing mailing lists (and therefore wasting half the money you gave by sending you mail for the rest of your life).

Does anyone know of any such vehicle this time around?

13....I'm with Drew from yesterday. This is it. We have one chance to erase this law and try to set things right. We will have to do the heavy lifting, as usual, and we will have to scream louder than the leftards. If Romney and the rest of 'em backstab us after all of the promises, blood, sweat and tears, well, the country is over anyway. At least we tried.

15...Yes on Casey Sr. They banned him from speaking at the DNC n 1988 because he was pro-life. An early example to me of liberal tolerance.

26 I want to donate $100 per month to the Romney campaign with a bonus of $200 in October. But, I can't bring myself to supply the personal information they are asking for on their donation website. What to do? I know I could contribute to one of the PACs instead, but would rather give directly to the campaign.

35 Not sure it's possible to unseat Casey -- he's way ahead and is so devoid of accomplishment that there's no mud to throw at him. That might not make any sense anywhere else but it does in PA.

Posted by: joncelli, heartless Con and all around unpleasant guy at June 29, 2012 12:44 PM (RD7QR)

I'm guessing that there was polling done out in the streets following the decision. And I'm sure that if the numbers favored the decision, the MSM would be trumpeting them. As it is, the polls on sites such as Yahoo and Bing have been 60-30 against. And wyes, I realize what those polls are worth

I'm only asking because there was a comment on an earlier thread bemoaning the fact that Zero picked up six points last week in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll. I'm interested to see how the numbers go after yesterday.

Posted by: Damn Sockpuppet at June 29, 2012 12:45 PM (YmPwQ)

38 So, the DOJ won't prosecute Holder. He's literally laughing at the GOP. And, there's this from the washington times: Republicans say itÂ’s not even under consideration, with House Speaker John A. BoehnerÂ’s spokesman flatly ruling it out. But the process, known as inherent contempt, is well-established by precedent, has been confirmed by multiple Supreme Court rulings, and is available to any Congress willing to force such a confrontation. Â“The House is scared to death to use the inherent contempt power,Â” said Mort Rosenberg, a fellow at the Constitution Project and author of Â“When Congress Comes Calling.Â” Â“TheyÂ’re scared to death because the courts have said Â… the way the contempt power is used is unseemly. ItÂ’s not that itÂ’s unconstitutional, because itÂ’s been upheld by four Supreme Court decisions, but unseemly to have somebody go arrest the attorney general.Â” ThatÂ’s why itÂ’s been more than 75 years since either chamber has used the option though it used to be somewhat common. I have no words left.

49 "30 I love my home state of PA but it is a constant source of embarrassment." Ditto, but at least a shift is starting with Toomey and Corbett. If Romney pulls off PA in November, I can finally be proud of this state. We just need to keep the frauds inside Philly from stuffing the ballots (the recent ID law went into effect before the primary, so if the poll watchers do their job and keep focused on the corrupt districts, we might actually win this place).

Bing "contempt of congress" and look at the list on Wiki. There have been a huge number of people hit with it. Both in committee votes and actual floor votes.

I understand the drawbacks, but I would be willing to contribute hard cash to get a PAC set up and working. It would be very, very nice to be able to donate anonymously to deserving candidates.

As for donating time, unfortunately time is one thing I don't have - work 60 to 70 hours per week. But, I do have some cash. There might be more cash potential from commentators and readers on this site than is initially thought. I rarely comment but I read the blog every day. A PAC might be worth pursuing.

98 Don't sweat the Nevada race too much, despite what you might be hearing/seeing from polls. Dean Heller is a good guy with a good reputation and was the right person to replace John Ensign. He's well-liked by both sides in this state...even with his conservative credentials. The Left is running a sitting congresswoman who is unknown outside her Vegas district. Heller will hold the seat.

Gave $10 a Senator. Cassius and Brutus will no doubt represent us well.

At 2:30 CDT today, I sold off all of my stock holdings. I've been investing since 1997, having some good days and some bad days. I've enjoyed investing, researching, and talking stocks, crushing the weak and following the strong. I maintained about a third of my wealth in stocks (against the advise of Monty, et al) through the toughest times, including the financial meltdown and the really dark days of the Immaculation (which was a great time to buy by the way), but after the events of yesterday, I no longer consider myself vested in the future. I'm in cash now and will be for the foreseeable future.

105 I live in Michigan, and I think Stabanaugh is in trouble. She is such a nothing senator anyway, and the Obama base is not motivated enough to have any effect. Michigan may be ours!

106 not to be a downer, but this is dumb. i don't even think you are able to donate just one dollar to a campaign. how about 51 dollars to one of these races, our choice? that makes more sense. the cost for a campaign to process a five dollar donation is almost as much as the donation is worth. then the donor gets on a mailing list for the campaign and the campaign will send out snail mail every other week begging for more money. so it may be a net loss for the campaign (cost of mailing all those letters to someone who may not donate again). again, the smarter choice is to donate 51 bucks to a single campaign.

Well, no comment on stocks from me, but that's a rather ironic pair of statements there. Good luck by all means.

Posted by: Meremortal at June 29, 2012 03:29 PM (Usk3+)

111 I donated as requested. Except for NV, link comes back here. I looked for Dean Heller's donation page. Nothing on his website and googling it takes one to a suspicious looking page so didn't give there. Scott Brown's donation page is busy. W/Try again later.

115 On a Romney win, the GOP would only need 50 votes in the Senate. Vice-President would be the 51st.

116 Former left-leaning independent Governor King is running for the Maine senate seat and is likely to win. If we keep Mass. and Nevada, then we will need a net of 5 seats to get to 51, and 4 to get to 50 (+ GOP Veep tiebreaker).

Heck defeated because they are "impure." On the other side, Heller, Heck, and Romney have started up "Team Nevada" to act as a shadow party.

118 After trolling around the Web in the middle of the night looking for commentary from people as annoyed as I am, I decided instead to donate to the campaigns of every Tea Party-loving candidate I could find. And even Scott Brown, though he seems destined to be the replacement for Olympia Snowe. I felt much better afterwards.

120 to clarify, when betting on even odds you win however much you wager.but, know that when you are betting "even" odds that the odds are not actually even... just the payouts. when a handicapped line is at even, that means the sportsbook is getting more action to one side than the other. normally.
