You make him sound like a community organizer...

It depends on how the donate button on the website is set up.

There are administrative costs from the credit card people associated with each click/donation.

You can set it up so that a percentage of the administrative costs comes out of the donation. So, if you donate a dollar and the percentage of administrative cost is ten cents, only ninety cents would go to the campaign.

But, if you set it up so that the whole dollar goes to the campaign, then you will get a bill at some point asking for those administrative costs or, some credit cards pass the cost along to the person donating.

The bottom line of this piece is that the GOP establishment has for years appealed to the base's prejudices to get them to vote against their own best interests (which would actually be better served by the Democrats). The GOP establishment is the party of corporate management (who could actually care less about abortion, gay rights, etc.) and the Democratic party is the party of labor.

The blue-collar base is starting to catch on, but instead of voting for Democrats (and all the hated blacks, gays, Hispanics and secular humanists among them), they want to force a hostile takeover of the party from the industrialists and refashion the party in their own image (see below).
