We’ll see about this. I’m not convinced yet some a-hole DUmmie isn’t trying to hose this auction.

$100,000? That’s nothing. Hillary is smart enough to turn a $1,000 investment into $100,000. She could buy it with chicken feed.

Bidders have to be pre-approved by Rush, so I don't think there's much chance of that.

I think it's hillarious.

They pre-qualify the bidders, who ever wins will have his credit card on account. No DUmmie would ever spend $100,000 of their OWN money, just yours and mine..

As I understand it, however, a bid on eBay obligates the bidder to make good and pay up if he or she wins. A bidder had best not be a kidder, in other words.

Rush (and his staff) thought of that and had some screening mechanism to ensure bids would be valid. I tried bidding and I never got a confirmation that I had passed their screen (you had to have a valid eBay screen name and history; you had to be on-file; etc.). You have to hand it to Rush & Co., they thought this out very well to avoid having a scam -- my guess is, they have valid bidders involved who are taking this quite seriously. And before this auction comes to a conclusion, I assume there will have been more due diligence done on the final bidder(s).

They would be doing Rush a favor, he has spun this into the best publicity he could have possibly hoped for! Someone needs to figure out how long he senators worked on the letter and given their salary whet the tax payer paid and see if Rush gets that money and more back for the Marines ;)

A false bid on Ebay is legally actionable. Rush could have his lawyers hold the false bidder upside down and shake out the loose pocket change from their pants if they attempt this. At least that's what they'll feel like when it's over.

It would be truly fun to watch if you are right....but Rush has pre-qualified every bidder. There is nothing to say however, that a DU person could bid because the rules don't necessarily rule them out. The most stringent rule is that you have the finances to pay whatever you bid...and I think that Rush and E-Bay would go after any scofflaw with vigor.

A caller even asked Rush what would happen if somebody came in with a bid of $30 million...Rush didn't skip a beat and said that would be o.k....his pledge to match whatever came in stands.

I don't think he is worried since there is no lib anywhere, including Soros, that will be caught giving money to any military outfit who does good work.

They will fund abortion clinics, piss christ "art", and scumbag socialist politicians, but not for any good causes which actually end up helping people.
