Alternatively they count Corporate donations or donations to the RNC, maybe?

5. Also

If you check on who contributes what, you'll notice that there are some major companies with rabid Republican CEOs in which all upper management contributes to Republican candidates. They have to to keep their jobs.

8. Pioneers, Rangers, Bundlers, Bunglers, Buggerers

Harvey Korman: "I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dim-wits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bush-whackers, horn swagglers, horse thieves, bull-dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers, and Methodists! Ha ha ha ha!"

Slim Pickens: "Could you repeat that, sir?"

6. some people bring bundles of checks

they ask their friends, family and coworkers to give, then they bring the checks with them so they get credit for raising the money.

9. That's why they call it bundling

[question everything]

7. The ones who attend come with a list of others

so even if you have only 1,000 at a fund event - not unusual - in reality there may have been 5,000 of them.
