1. Are you sure that wasn't a DNC solicitation?
How would DLC get your name, unless you're a member?

2. If triple x called me I'd give him/her anything they wanted.
Would not want to piss off a secret agent.

5. I had the same conversation more or less a few weeks ago!
The guy argued they needed to win I said I needed them to stand up for the rule of law I did not give them any money!

6. I think it was the DNC
I told them I was not going to support them this year.
I was only going to contribute to individual candidates that I selected for myself

12. I was called too and I told them no more money from me until
the Dems grow a spine and stand up to the bush administration. I also said that when Pelosi puts impeachment on the table I will send in my donation. Until this happens, don't call again!

13. I told the DCCC no when they called because they give too much to conservative Dems.
Its the only way they'll learn.

14. after review, I don't know if it was DNC or DCCC or DLC
I really didn't pay that much attention to the name cause I was forming my answers...

now I wish I had listened better

15. I got a call from them yesterday
I told them as long as Rahm and the DLC was still in charge of the DCCC, that I would continue to send any donations to Howard Dean at the DNC.

They seem genuinely surprised that people don't like that guy. :shrug:
