Getting donations back from the McCain campaign

Posted on 12/19/2008 2:33:37 PM PST by o2bfree

Anybody know if its still possible to get a donation back from the McCain campaign? I made a $200 donation on Oct. 30th and want a refund.

The reasons are obvious!

If you know who I should contact to make this happen let me know. If you think its impossible let me know. Or if there is another thread on this, let me know that too. If you think I was crazy to make this donation in the first place, I would concur with your assessment!

You weren’t crazy, and I doubt very much you can get it back.

I got a refund from the Obama campaign for $5.00.

Probably because I submitted it under the name Osama bin Laden.

I sent an email asking for that after McCain refused to stand up for Palin against the lies/smears.

Never got an answer back.

Call 911. That’s your first step. When the police arrive, tell them you want to file a complaint.

McQueeg got no donations from me. I did nearly vomit when I cast my vote for him though.

Ditto that, but remember: You voted for Sarah!

I gave 25 bucks in September after Sarah was announced. Never gave to a campaign before, this was my first time because I was SO inspired by Sarah. McCain NEVER fought for us, he said for us to fight for him, he did not fight for us at all, did not fight for his own running mate so yeah, I’d like a refund so that I can triple it in 2012 when Sarah runs for President

I don’t see how you made a $200 donation on Oct. 30th. McCain took public financing and was prohibited from accepting donations after Sept. 1. If you made it and he took you should be able to get it back. If you donated to the RNC I doubt it.

I donated $200 also and feel the same way you do. But it ain’t gonna happen, you (we)knew he was a snake before we brought him in and hoped that this one time he would not bite us......oh well. Mac has no integrity whatsoever, but that is his problem. I hope he is voted out of the senate so we can all forget the weasel.

I didn’t give him any money and I want my $200 back. No wait, it’s a hell a lot more than $200.

Wear one of those Code Pink outfits, storm the Senate Chambers, and accost McQuegg there demanding a refund.

That should be fairly effective ............... at what, I’m not sure

Suck it up or be a real loser.

You can be bought for $200?

Sorry if you get offended, but children shouldn’t vote nor contribute their money.

I believe the process is the same as applying for a refund for your failed lottery ticket.

You will receive a pre-paid Visa card from the Obama campaign, thanking you for supporting their pre-selected foil.

You voted for Sarah!

And, unless you wrote in Sarah Palin on your ballot, you probably also voted for Juan McCain.

What a nice Faustian bargain, eh?

Susan Nelson - snelson@mccain08hq.com and/or Kevin Broghamer kbroghamer@mccain08hq.com

I wrote to her twice before I got a response. She sent me a message that she was working on getting me my refund . That was in mid November. Since then I have not heard anything, so I wrote again about a week ago and still as of today no response. I didn’t try Broghamer yet, but I will.

On a similar note- where can I make contributions to PALIN 2012 campaign?

If there is no organization set up yet for that, I will start one- who’s with me?

Sn him an email saying that you want to donate $200,000 to him, and that all he has to do is send you a check for $200 so that you can pay the attorney in Nigeria to expedite your father’s will.

Give me one, just one example of when a hard core liberal has said "No, that's too far for me" to any course of moral degeneration. Nope, I couldn't think of one either.

They have no morals. Everything that should disgust any rational thinking person, is marveled at and approved by these scuzballs. The blatant homosexuality that Disney is allowing on ABC on several of their shows, most in prime time, is sickening, if you ask me.

geez- i’m with you o2

Can’t we stop talking to each other like that here?

Anybody who asks a polite question should get a polite response. Even if you think it is a dumb question (ok, i’m with t_f on that) but man, would you talk to your kids that way? or to your boss? or to a stranger in the street?

Someone at work once told everyone the big boss was coming ans asked everyone how they would act- my reply was that I have only one set of manners

“This_far. Go screw yourself.”

Snappy and whitty comeback there 02b. Reminds me of this:
How do you make a whore moan... don’t pay her.

“If you think I was crazy to make this donation in the first place, I would concur with your assessment!”

OK, your quote: you was crazy.

Apparently many were. McCain wasn’t the first or best choice of many. (read back on just this forum)

Take if off of your taxes like I will. (and for many others that didn’t make the cut)

Mr. K (not all directed to you, btw)

Perhaps I was abrupt? Or was I just being the way that all wanted McCain to speak out about on O?

Too brusque, don’t think so. I apologize to those who do. However, we should act the same way that we want those that we want to elect to act. Get tough when you have to.

McCain didn’t. Other reasons perhaps, whatever. Get over it.

There’s no do-overs and no refunds.

I’m not pleased about the outcome either.
However, why bother to donate, if afterwards, you want a refund should your candidate lose?

I'll add you to the list after I get back home this evening.

As for McCain and strawberries: watch the movie The Caine Mutiny. The similarity between Captain Queeg and John McCain is...uncanny.
