29. I care!

May 2017

I care because I suspect it's just BULLSHIT to tempt my last fiver out of my wallet on the fantasy notion that it's magically going to turn into FIVE fivers! It's like those "surveys" I get at least twice a month - asking the same inane questions, over and over. There's NEVER EVER any tabulation of the results of those surveys..... other than to count up the money that was provoked from contributor's purses and pockets.

At best, just beg for money to keep losing with. Don't try to play to my emotions to sucker me into emptying my coin purse! QUADRUPLE-matched! That could be some SERIOUS change in the end. And yet there's NEVER any accountability of it - it's only ON to the next deception.

Through the long (and sadly, fixed) charade that was the 2016 primaries, I coughed up two grand for a white-haired old gent that ran on integrity (Oh, OF COURSE! I know they ALL did - all spotless and sanitary-like! Sure! That's why DWS recused herself.) and I can't recall ONCE when a plea from his camp went out with the hocus-pocus of many-matched funds - or panderous surveys that were just a bad shell game of HEY! Open your wallet, dummy!

How many of you have given to Quist's or Ossoff's quests? Yeah, I LOVE having my intellect kicked in it's face. Send them a few bucks and sit back to receive the guilt trips that'll stuff you mailbox....... "QUADRUPLE MATCHED - if you send $3 dollars in the next 5 minutes!" "OMG! - ALL is lost! Have you SEEN how much we suspect the other side is POURING into our challenger's campaign???"
How long before we progress to SEXTUPLE-Matched? or Octuple-matched??? Just as soon as they sense you're out of steam for quadruple-matched. Just wait and see. OH! And send that 3 dollars before midnight. After midnight, the "matchmaker" turns into a pumpkin.
