Do you guys realize that the $474,175 pledged hasn't actually been donated? I just "pledged" $10k with a dummy email address.

@PeteJayhawk:
Me too. I wonder what percentage of pledges they'll actually be able to collect? I'm thinking low single digits.

Hope you already knew about it

I found a similar post on politico, he false pledged 5k.

Good news is we are already more than half way there with actual monies in the bank. The Wonktards haven't hurt the effort, in fact they probably helped.

DaveAgreed and we couldn't do it ourselves or we would of looked bad trying to inflate our own pledges. Nice work wonktards.

They only help by boosting morale. LOL, those morons.

[fortilite]

I love how they think we haven't raised $1 in real money yet. They're instant electronic transactions, morons.

So who do the Wonkettes work for? Neodems or Neocons?

[ronpaulyourmom]

Also did you see the guy who claimed to make a ton of empty emails and pledged 100k. Too bad the idiot only helped further the cause.

[j0ew00ds]

You read Wonkette? PHhphphphp....

[fortilite]

Let's stop making Wonk-ette threads, please. I just looked at Alexa - thier readership halved over the past year! In all likelyhood they are making anti-Paul articles for publicity.

[Carole]

Oh, good.

It is such a great project. I do want it to go forward.

[dshields]

You know, I keep thinking of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory every time someone mentions the Wonktards, err, I mean Wonkettes. I get a mental image of an Umpa Lumpa running around :D lol

Have no fear... those were PLEDGES on the old site, not DONATIONS for the new endeavor.

Those are beautiful quotes in your signature Carole :)
