Anyone care to make up this joker’s donation to Barack?

Got a FISA whiner here at Blogger Interrupted taking his wallet and going home.
“…can we please get on with electing Barack Obama president?”
Sure, go ahead. Just don’t expect me to join you. I had intended to give $100 to Obama’s campaign, and volunteer about 3 to 4 hours per week for him this fall, but not anymore. I won’t forgive Obama’s FISA betrayal. The $100 I had intended to give to the Obama campaign, along with the contributions I would have made to the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC, will instead go to the ACLU, the Accountability Now PAC, and probably the Warren Village Liquor Store.
Don’t worry. I’ll still vote for Obama, as he’s a lesser evil than McCain. I just hope I’m not so drunk that I fill in the wrong oval.
You’d think a guy with a betting blog would know better. So we have a new game, thanks to Kos, called “Pick Up The Slack For Free-Riding Whiners”.
Here’s how it works. Guy whines about FISA. Takes his money to ACLU. I ask my readers to make up his donation. If you want to help pick up the slack for this free-rider, go here and donate to Barack. And if you want to leave a comment so we can keep a running tally, please do. I donated $25 this week already, in response to the Kos post, so we can’t really count that for this tally. Help out.

You can add me to the ranks of the former O-Train passengers. I probably would’ve been good for 50 bucks and a few nights at the phone bank. It’ll be a shame if Obama’s FISA flip flop costs him the election, but the Senator will have brought it on himself.

I’ll make up Scott’s $50 before the election. A little short on cash at the moment. I’m also one of those swing voters that everyone’s always wigging out about. Tim’s right at least as far as I’m concerned, I give a little bit of a shit about the FISA vote, but I’m not going to stop buying toilet paper just because it doesn’t wipe my ass exactly the way I wish it did.
