This aint Freeperville. DU doesn't need 2+ months to reach a fund raising goal.

[Union Yes]

Capped by a corporate bailout/wealthy donor(Limpblob felt sorry) like rimjob got in his last FR fundraiser.

It took weeks for FR to hit 30% of their fund raising goal. FR was stuck at about 38% of the goal for more than a week. It suddenly jumped to 80% overnight. I'll bet rimjob still to this day wouldn't have met his goal had a large donor not bailed out that fraud of a site. It still took about 2 months to complete their goal.

Methinks the Reich Wing has a population problem. In other words, every sane person has left that fukt ideology.

DU wraps up it's fund raising drives in under 10 days or so.

DU owns/pwns FR in every way. Damn, I like saying that.

1. Cut the freepers some slack...

...all their money is tied up in gold investment scams.

6. It never ceases to amaze....

... that the collective ignorance level at that cesspool is so pervasive that they never look at two elements of RimJob's "budget":

System Administation(sic) and Programming $7,000
Administrative and Taxes $10,500.

It does not take a forensic accountant to have a major brain fart over those two "catch-alls."

You can more than presume that good old, teabagging, anti-government miscreant, RimJob, has his hands around most of that $17,500 a month "allocation" as he rides around in his government provided wheelchair as well (hypocrisy much, Rim?).

Talk about taking the candy out of the mouths of ignorant, frustrated, vile, and mean trolls, huh? That sad old bastard has quite a racket going on here to the tune of over 200 thousand a year in his pocket.

12. WOW. They really have been duped in more ways than one, haven't they??

Welcome to DU! I like your username :hi:

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

13. Yep, and they're too ignorant...

... to even recognize one of the oldest and most basic accounting scams out there.

Thanks for the welcome.

[jberryhill]

8. It can't - they don't believe in that /nt

[Union Yes]

9. They're doomed.

"...(T)he Dem primary race had made DU...so unfriendly I considered taking a hiatus...

(When) the February DU pledge drive was announced...I feared it would be a miserable failure. But I decided that the stakes were way too high to cut and run, and (that I) would fight to discuss the race and support my candidate without drowning in 'Hillbots versus Obamatrons' invective...Sure the Repubs had a much smoother primary, but look at what they ended up with...

(N)ow I say that I’d gladly do it all over again--not because my candidate won, but because our 'civil war' made both him and DU that much stronger...Oh, and about that February DU donation drive: not only was the goal reached, it got more than halfway there within the first thirty-six hours!"

11. 7 days actually

We have one every quarter and it lasts 7 days. There are many of us who are monthly donors (no, I have no idea how many). This site is hands down a much better site logistically.
