Santorum launches CUM

[emzie]

Rick Santorum has launched his newest fundraising campaign: Conservatives Unite Moneybomb, or CUM.

https://www.ricksantorum.com/unite/

Does Santorum still have a path to the nomination as a convention compromise? Or is he staying in the race for other reasons?

Should someone tell him that the word already has another meaning, or should we wait until he figures it out?

 

[Antilogic]

I'd have to imagine at least one staffer noticed this. I can't believe they would unintentionally pick such an acronym and absolutely nobody noticed it before it went out.

It even seems forced/contrived because it's not a proper sentence or expression! It's like they are begging us to make fun of them!

Is he that clueless? Is this a real site or is it a hack? I agree with Antilogic, it seems so forced & blatantly obvious (i.e., someone was trying to put that acronym together) that it makes me think this is a prank or something.

 

[emzie]

It's really his site, yeah.

"Rock the vest: donate $100 + get a sweater vest"

This has to be fake. I think someone hacked his real site, though, because there is a "donate" option that goes to a different page from the moneybomb one.

Now that he's in the race he comes out swinging.
I don't think he's gonna pull out either.
He could also start a cake sale. A buck for a cake.

There's no link to that page from the front page. And the regular donate link from the front page goes elsewhere. I don't think CUM came from Santorum himself, someone else snuck it in.

contre, I don't think we should be using such inappropriate words on this forum. (Re: Sen******)

 

[illram]

Perhaps this is the work of the Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC?

 

[Joecoolyo]

CUM is an integral part of Santorum.

Reading this thread has left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter is rather gross

 

[amadeus]

Simpsons did it!

 

[GamezRule]

It's really hard to believe this.

 

[FriendlyFire]

It's really hard to believe this.

Just remember Republican is synonymous with competence.

 

[Quackers]

Lets hope he doesn't blow all his money straight away....

 

[LucyDuke]

I like this part best.

 

[Gatsby]

It's seemin' like he really does have a vested interest in winning the nomination...

Suppose he did it intentionally? It's generating a lot of publicity--right here in CFC.
