Related: About this forumObama campaign doesn't know a ring from an ass.
from my email...
Scuba--
Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands' Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who's already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.
That's the same Sheldon Adelson who gave $15 million to help Newt Gingrich against Mitt Romney in the primary, and said he may give $100 million -- basically, whatever it costs -- to defeat Barack Obama.
We're starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick. Before Ryan's even been fully introduced to the American people, he's attending a private fundraiser in Vegas with the top super PAC donor.
We're doing this differently, with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford -- but it's going to take a lot more of us to match them. Will you donate $5 or more today?

(36,974 posts)1. I am sure the Obama campaign DOES know the difference, but they weren't going to say 'ass'
in an email.
I think your subject line sounds a bit too negative towards the Obama campaign.

What do you want to bet there will be a person or two who doesn't quite catch your drift?

Hopefully this discussion will forestall any jury from "taking it the wrong way."
