I'm going to stop my monthly contribution to the DNC

[woofless]

and start giving it to the AFL/CIO. I am on SSDI and make enough to live comfortbly, but must give sparingly. I have given 10 bucks a month to the DNC for several years now. Occasionally I will send off 25 bucks to someone who I think is particularly worthy. All that is done now. If any Dem wants some of what I have left they will have to cozy up to the Unions. Workers of the World, UNITE!

2. I stopped when they banished Dean,

and then took credit for his work.

You see how the well they did in 2010?

[SpiralHawk]

3. That was really skankulous - kinda like a Republicon Family Values strategem

They are losing it...that's for sure. One hears lots and lots of complaints...

[Kingofalldems]

13. Dean was the best ever. Repubs terrified of him

and still trash him whenever they can.

[Freddie Stubbs]

4. Banished?

His term expired, and a new Chairman was elected.

[LiberalAndProud]

5. Elected?

Appointed. By Obama.

And the 50-state strategy abandoned. Too much main street influence, I suspect.

14. I know... its sad.

People are peeking behind the curtain.

And seeing how the gears work.

6. The current chairmen is a useless, feckless, wanker who has

completely ignored the good work Dean did in the past to win elections and has gone back to the losing ways. Instead of trying to do more of what Dean was doing the DNC has reversed course and Obama chose this fool who is currently in charge. The fact that Obama didn't see the need to find a place for Dean and to continue his policies shows exactly what wing of the Democratic party he aligns himself with and it's not the Democratic wing of the party.

[bvar22]

12. And the results of the new chairman and throwing out Dean's 50 state strategy?

Overwhelming (historic) defeats for The Democrats in 2010,
but instead of looking at the Leadership and their failures,
they, and their "supporters" here, have chosen to Blame the Voters.


Blaming the foot soldiers for a Failure of Leadership NEVER works.



Who will STAND and represent THIS American Majority?
Rhetoric, broken promises, and excuses mean NOTHING now.
"By their WORKS you will know them,"
and by their WORKS they will be judged.

15. ^ this

Remove the wheels and wonder why the cart won't roll.

[truebrit71]

7. Me too.

..and the DCCC who still haven't taken 'go to hell' as an answer when they call..

I give to groups and specific individuals. Tired of having 'the party' decide whom to support and whom to desert..

[peopleb4money]

9. Yah, fuck the DNC

I don't think there's much of a difference between them and the Republicans anymore. If all the teabaggers weren't so racist, they'd see there's little difference too.

[Dappleganger]

11. Good for you!

[sabrina 1]

16. I don't know why they ask us for money anyhow, don't they

get the majority of their funding from Wall St.?

Good idea, strengthen the unions and anyone else actually working for the people. One thing is obvious, politicians are not doing so.
