It says 'defeat' in pretty big letters, guys. No reasonably literate person is going to be tricked into donating money by the Democratic candidate's picture. It's an insult even to a Democrat to think they would donate to this by mistake.

No it does not.

Yes they are.

Do you have anything to offer besides thoughtless contradiction?

Nice deflection from the insult to Democrats by the NRCC for their disgusting fundraising dishonesty.

I think you have some prepositions mixed up because I couldn't make heads or tails of this sentence.

Yeah, what kind of idiot would visit 'sinkforcongress2014.com' and assume it's pro-Alex Sink?

Having just opened the website on a separate tab, I'd have to say it would take someone very remarkable. The website says in large bold print 'Alex Sink - a risk we can't afford', and then in bigger letters, 'Help us stop Alex Sink from bankrupting us in Congress - Sign up Today'. The YouTube video it invites everyone to watch (the only thing bigger than the word 'DONATE') is a negative ad attacking Sink's pretty pro-Obamacare record that most of the district opposes. The website also features a large picture of Sink scowling.

It would have to take someone pretty idiotic.

So tell me then, what exactly is the purpose of registering that domain?

To disseminate negative advertisements about Sink to Sink supporters, and to try to dissuade Sink supporters from donating to her -- and in a best-case scenario to donate to the NRCC. It is very obviously targeted toward Sink supporters, but the website doesn't make any show of being pro-Sink and it's ludicrous to suggest it does.

Apparently they got the idea from the liberals. Fight fire with fire!

That actually re-directs to the Democratic Party site, it doesn't ask for donations under a misleading url. Try again.
It's quite funny how some of the fools can read a url, but apparently can't read the content on the actual page.

The ad is unquestionably negative, and it could confuse nobody about its purpose.

Just like the one the NRCC put up about Sink?
