"Have you ever donated to a Republican candidate for office? The exact same thing happens."
Yes, it does, but that is a candidate, not a PAC or PAC-like organization.
You try it. Donate to the Declaration Association or the Declaration Foundation. Use a unique way of writing your address. You won't believe who sends you requests for donations. I know I didn't.
Donations to candidates or to political parties go to a specific purpose, that of getting a candidate elected. Where did the money sent to Simcox go? Do you know? I sure can't find that information.

What difference does it make? Selling and swapping donor lists happens all over the place. It just so happens that several of the folks feigning rigeous indignation over this are big-time GOP cheerleaders.

In November we will know, otherwise Simcox is going to be in trouble. In the meantime, drawing conclusions with the lack of information we have now is utter conspiracy theory kookery.
