92. I have to say
that the idea that anybody would give any money to the DNC or the DLC really flabergasts me. I think you guys are easy marks. What has any Dem gotten you in the last five years? Zip, zero, nada. Dean is one of the best but what power he has or words he's said hasn't done a damn thing either. Yeah I'm cheap-and guess what we make good money-but for God's sake why waste it on a politician? I rather give it to the food bank or a bum in the street. At least they would know what to do with the money. And it would make the bum happy with his wine for at least a few hours-any money you give the Dems is totally wasted.

I was enthralled with Kerry and I never gave him a dime either. I don't believe money is what the Democrats need. I didn't believe in 2004 and I don't believe it now. They need to call the bullshit for what it is, and do something brave like Will Pitt suggested and walk out of the State of the Union. The president is a liar, a divider and against everything an American should stand for. He wasn't elected by the people either time. He's breaking the law now. He's tharwting the constitution. He does not deserve the respect he is given. What the Democrats, the "so called" opposition party need is not money, they need the courage of their convictions.

The only politician I've ever gave any money to is Mr. Conyers. He actually is documenting the crimes against democracy and America committed by the Bush administration. He tells the cold hard truth. And he has done all in his power to bring them to account. When I see that from other Dems then they would be worthy of money that would be better spent on almost anything rather than giving it to those that are in denial or complicit-take your pick.

I want to get something for my money. It's that simple. If you don't demand something for your money, they will keep taking it by giving you what you've already got.
