My November 30th pledge

[margomaps]

PLEASE only reply to this thread if you're pledging money for November 30th along the lines of what I'm about to propose...

During the CNN debate tonight, I pledge to increase my donation on November 30th by $5 every time...

- Giuliani says '9/11', 'terrorist', 'terrorism', 'Islamic', 'Islamists', or 'Islamo-'
- McCain says 'my friends'
- Romney attempts to make a joke
- Huckabee uses the word 'frankly' or 'honestly'
- Thompson pauses awkwardly while collecting his thoughts
- Anyone refers to Ron Paul as an 'isolationist'


Please post your pledge, and feel free to pledge any amount. After the debate we'll tally our donations. This is like a drinking game, but more productive for Ron's campaign. It was inspired by:

Thanks, and have fun!

You are going to max out within 30 minutes.

Edit: sorry. I'm going to donate right after the debate ends, but just one flat amount.

You do realise the limit is $2,300, right?

If you started at ZERO, 461 instances of all of the above would put you over the limit. Giuliani should be good for 200 "9/11" and "terrorists"/"Islamic"s all by himself. :eek:

And if this pledge gets me to donate the limit of $2,300, this is a bad thing? ;)

Dang it...I broke my own request to NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD UNLESS MAKING A PLEDGE! :D

[Trigonx]

within the first 20 min you'd be maxed out. I couldn't stop laughing when reading this.

Again...maxing out isn't a bad thing. :)

If others aren't feeling so bold, perhaps you can make a pledge that is a little less ambitious than mine? Or impost a cap on your pledge..."Not to exceed $50" or something like that.

Any takers?

I have less than $100 in my checking account, but I'll go in on a 5 cent pledge instead of $5. If for some reason I don't reach $20 I'll put in a 20 plus my pledge.

That's the spirit! Thanks!

Anyone else? Come on people -- let's have some fun and raise money for Dr. Paul! :)

OK. Everytime Huckleberry Hound looks into the camera and crosses his eyes, I'm in for $10 more.

Don't let us down, Huckleberry Hound!!

Heheh, does he actually do that? I wasn't aware of that.

Nevertheless -- another pledge! Thanks!

We now have my pledge, plus $20 from Kandilynn, and an unknown amount from you. Let's keep it going!

[AlexMerced]

everytime they congradulate huckabee for making a joke, but making no real statment of substance, I'll add $1

[sgrooms]

anyone keeping count?

[margomaps]

I owe at least $5 for McCain calling Paul an isolationist. :)

[margomaps]

Yikes, Giuliani just uttered 11 instances of "islamic", "terrorists", and "9/11" -- that's $55 more for me in a matter of 90 seconds. Oh well! :D

[margomaps]

Giuliani said 9/11 again, four times. That's another $20 out of my pockets and into Dr. Paul's campaign.

[margomaps]

McCain just said "my friends." Another $5.
