If anyone is wondering what I'm talking about then just look at all the campaign fundraising hyper-links in his DU OP on the link below.

This one, here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251322031

A 'dozen' of the the purple hyper-links embedded in that OP go to a page to donate money to his re-election campaign fund!

I was shocked last week when I started clicking on those hyper-links to see additional info but received a 'give me money' page instead.
