Running on empty rhetoric
In keeping with our on-going coverage of Eric Odom’s Excellent Revolution & T-Shirt Emporium we direct your attention to how the #dontgo Twitiots support the brave Congressional souls who are standing up for oil companies America.
Just go here scroll down and cast your eyes to the right (no…your other right) to the #dontgo Make A Difference Slatecard where the Twits can show their appreciation by contributing to their favorite Housebound congressman who is passing up his summer vacation for the right to drill drill drill now now now for oil oil oil.
As we can see, someone forgot to take the lid off of the tip jar and, in the case of John Boehner, he’s barely made enough to purchase a good bronzer.
For those keeping score at home:
John Culberson (TX- 07) 6 supporters good for $21
Thad McCotter (MI- 11) 6 for $33
Mike Pence (IN-06) 7 for $31
John Shadegg (AZ-03) 7 for $36
Tom Price (GA-06) 5 for $18
Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) 5 for $18
Chris Hackett (PA-10) 5 for $23
Marilyn Musgrave (CO-04) 5 for $23
Scott Garrett (NJ-05) 5 for $11
Roy Blunt ( MO-07) 6 for $28
Eric Cantor (VA-07) 7 for $31
Pete Hoekstra (MI-02) 7 for $36
John Boehner (OH-08) 7 for $31
Jon Porter (NV-03) 1 for…. $1
Ouch.
Looks like wallets are just another place where they #dontgo….

Shadegg, $36….
Heh, heh, heh….
These guys give prostitution a bad name. If you’re gonna whore yourself out, you should at least get enough for a cab ride home and some mouthwash.
Jeez these guys really are shameless. Why don’t you declare an Iraqi-style victory and go see if you can salvage a little dignity.
But….Eric Cantor only got $36???? I thought he was the next great thing, since they’ve been sayin’ he may be McLame’s VP. Then again, maybe they already know what a loser he is…just like the rest of us in Virginia:)
I know this should be considered a really sad thing, so why am I overcome with giggles? Are any of them capable of embarrassment?
It would appear that there are 7 guys that donate either 4 or 5 dollars to each candidate.
Well, one big spender must have laid down an extra fiver to beef up Hoekstra’s total.
Damn, teh Redoublechins just don’t do grassroots, do they?
Keerist, you’d think Big Oil would be springing for few hundred thou – a reasonable tip to the waiters that served up all those tasty profits. This is shaping up to be another virtual bust for these young Republican twitees.
Has anyone figured out what the pound sign signifies yet?

Something to do with the group members’ intelligence, sand, and a rathole.
Maybe they figure since he’s going to be the veep candidate, he doesn’t need it.
