Stupid question: by what logic does Crist justify giving partial refunds to former supporters? If anything, he ought to pay a penalty for taking the money under false pretenses.
How would anyone expect any RINO to act?
Let the litigation begin.
LOL
He has already spent the funds...
Restocking fee? Rag charge? Tire carcass disposal?
Has anyone asked Crist why, on Chris Wallace’s Sunday show, he stated five times that he was NOT going to run as an independent, and now he is? I’d be curious to hear his response.
Heard that, isnt that funny stuff. What a moron.... You gave me $100 Monday so I can give you back $25. I used the rest for ads being a Rep.
Not necessarily. He is probably planning to pocket whatever isn't spent on his campaign. That's supposedly legal, though it reeks of corruption.
I saw the same thing a short time ago that Crist was going to return contributions pro-rated. That must mean he has spent a lot of money already so if everyone asked for their money back, he doesn’t have it to give.
Club for Growth is all set to help contributors ask for their money back. FEC approved them to get the donor money back from Specter which reached $1.2M and would expect this to go higher. I am hoping that donors bankrupt Crist.
Let the teacher’s union support his run since they like him so much! :)
I understand the concept. Say you gave him $100 in Nov 09 for the upcoming election in Nov 2010. Half the time has gone by as of May 1st(using that date as arbitrary mid point) so you would be entitled to $50.00 back.
The issue a donor could have with him is that the election is an arbitrary end point inasmuch as he may not have spent the monies he collected. In truth he could have a portion of his donations a year or two later. Extend the life of the donation till Nov 2011 and he’d have to give back $75.00.
Is it legal,ethical,intelligent even is a whole ‘nother question.
