Vampire PACs just won't quit. Burn them here!

I nominate ProChoiceDems, electdiversedems, and, especially STFU PAC as the worst of the vampire PACs.

I can just see the guys who came up with STFU PAC sitting around daring each other to come up with a more ridiculous PAC name. “Hey, you guys! I’ve got a great one! How about Shut The Fuck Up PAC?” Hilarious laughter all around. Wiping their eyes, “Yeah. We gotta try that just for shits and giggles.”

It’s not funny, of course, because STFU PAC is claiming to raise money for Yes on 50 campaign in California. ProChoiceDems hits on just about any issue including this week the Jimmy Kimmel thing. Last week it was some other outrage. Elect Diverse Dems is similarly ready to jump on any outrage to help them raise money. Precious little if any actually gets spent promoting actual Democratic Party electoral goals. F-em

Have favorite PACs you life to hate of your own? Dish!

Here’s the text:

Not asking for money, just a signature: Stand with Stephen Colbert NOW >> go.prochoicedems.org/w091941

ProChoiceDems
Stop2End


See, they don’t want my donation, they just want my vote, and, by the way, the only way to vote is (trumpet fanfare), to give them my email!

In the vulture pac world an email address that your target/mark gives you is way more valuable than a text address some data broker rented you. And if we have to lie and say it’s a survey, well, who gets hurt? Only the gulliblmarks e and the legitimate fundraisers. F’em.
