Deaniacs – please do not donate any money to the DNC

[pruner]

at least not until they speak out against the type of attack ads that are now being run by "Democratic" special interest groups.

[Upfront]

1. No Problem

Just more for Dean.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

20. Where were Deanies when DK and CMB were kicked off the corporpate media?

So the ABD folks are buying some media to attack Dean, but no complaints from Dean when the corporate media decided to exclude half the candidates. Dean's been the drama candidate for the media since day one.

[quaker bill]

2. No Problem

My money is with Dean and Moveon.org anyway. (I sent a little to DK as well.)

[DoctorMyEyes]

3. I stopped giving to the DNC

this year and told them exactly why.

I too give directly to my candidate and to moveon.org.

[caledesi]

4. My friend told the DNC off when they called.

I already told this story, but my friend who ALWAYS donated to the DNC got a call and basically told them "Until the Dems stop rolling over for Bush*, I will not donate one cent.

That shut them up.

[Demobrat]

5. I get fundraising emails from them constantly.

I reply to each one that all of my extra money is going to Dean.

[barbaraann]

6. I stopped donating a while ago.

If there's going to be a civil war in the party, I'm siding with Dean.

I donate to MoveOn when there is some sort of matching program. :-)

[coralrf]

23. Divided we fall...

Dean falls too.
can you show me the equivalent of your attitude in the political right. They are rock solid together. If you dismantle the Democratic effort at this level how in hell do you see your efforts advantaging the Democrats overall?

[blm]

7. Did Joe Trippi have his dog attack a picture of John Kerry to set the tone

for the Dean campaign? Did Dean supporters follow suit and attack Kerry as Bushlite and a corrupt Washington insider?

Cry me a river. Typical bullies who whine when anyone strikes back at them.

Reciprocation. I only WISH it was Kerry or Gephardt or Edwards doing the hitting. But that's just for my personally seffish sense of justice.

[dsc]

13. Yet again you exaggerate

the dog played dead it didnt' attack. And of course no link.

[Pastiche423]

8. It has been well over a year

since I gave up on the DNC.

It pissed me off that my emails to them came back to me as undeliverable.

Any donations I give, go directly to the candidates of my choice.

[Democrats unite]

9. Dean our Lord & Savior!

Give me a fucking break! It's attitudes like that, that will be our downfall in 2004. I got news for you If, and that is a big if Dean gets the nomination, he is toast without the DNC & if you can't see that you really are wearing rose colored glasses.

[sal]

10. amen

Bob Frum is dangerous.

[Rose Siding]

11. That does need to be addressed

Any Dem attack group that's not associated with another campaign should be addressed by the DNC, if only to officially disavow any support for that group.

[otohara]

12. Stopped Long Time Ago

they dissed Gore after election - buh bye

[NNN0LHI]

14. And if Dean don't get the nom we should all vote green too. Right?

Just how many threads are you going to start on this subject tonight?

Don

[BootinUp]

15. Its this kind of attitude

that will WIN IN ____?


A. 2004
B. 2008
C. 2388 on the Planet of the Apes
D. None of the Above

[mikehiggins]

16. Dude

Dean will need the DNC to get elected, if he gets the nomination. If the Dean campaign declares war on them over this ad issue it'll be like asking Europe to forgive Iraq's debts right after stiffing them on the reconstruction contracts.

Not a good idea.

But, since I am sublimely certain that Clark will get the nomination you might as well go on with your position.

;^)

[pruner]

18. I appreciate what you're saying mike…

but I think the DNC needs to get involved pronto.

it's inexcusable for them to sit on the sidelines while this type of ad is being put out.

[coralrf]

25. Then ask them to do that...

don’t cut a potential allies balls off pruner. Just work with them. They are an important part of the Democratic IMAGE!!! If you waste that you are just cutting your dick off to spite your wife. Do not do that.....please!!!

[Closer]

17. I won't.

And I won't again anytime soon.

These ads are a disgrace!

[ModerateSwingVoter]

19. Doesn't the DLC have to give money equally to the candidates?

How does this work exactly? Can the DNC favor one candidate over another when it comes to funding?

[coralrf]

21. be careful pruner...

or you will make Dean the anti-Democrat....do think about it

[Walt Starr]

22. I sure as hell won't

and I'm seriously considering refusing to vote for either Kerry or Gephardt after reading this:

[coralrf]

24. Who you gonna vote for?

Bush? Keep your eye on the prize....

[BootinUp]

26. I do not like the Osama bin 'laiden' add

But are you sure this is connected to the DNC?
