When the DNC grows balls like Stephen Colbert, I'll donate money.

[graywarrior]

That's what I told them when they called me today. And get this, the guy I talked to had no idea who Stephen Colbert was. How out of touch can they be? Christ.

1. Another withholding support post.

Been a few days.

[MrBenchley]

17. Funny how many

"I'm going to quit the party" and "I'm never going to give money" threads there are....and of course it has nothing to do with the Democrats having a double digit lead in the polls.

2. It was a phone bank person reading a script.

It wasn't Howard Dean.

[graywarrior]

4. Oh really?! I could hear the commas.

[DarfurDude]

3. Differences friend.

Colbert is followed by puppets and guys gettin' kicked in the crotch, the DNC is an important part of the U.S. political system.

Colbert makes great jokes and jabs because it's his job. The DNC's job is to be diplomatic and be reasonable.

5. They still need balls.

[Skittles]

10. come on graywarrior

male body parts are not needed for courage

[OzarkDem]

14. Dean has been very outspoken

he's been doing a great job. But he can't control the elected Dems in Congress, at least not unless he controls more money than they do.

[The Magistrate]

6. And This Helps How, Sir?

[graywarrior]

7. Well, I guess it doesn't

I have a tooth abcess, so I am NASTY tonight. I hate everyone.

[GymGeekAus]

8. How much is a testical transplantation now days?

Well, since we won't pay for it, I guess they'll have to go to the corporations for the money.

Political fool.

[JI7]

9. maybe he can't afford cable

or the internet.

[SaveElmer]

11. Very constructive...

They are really gonna listen to someone who doesn't support them...excellent strategy!

[LittleClarkie]

12. Maybe the dude was in India. Did he have an accent.

But don't worry dear. I'll donate your half.

Because making them weaker won't make them any stronger.

[MaineDem]

24. It's the RNC that outsources, not the Democrats

:)

[OzarkDem]

13. You're not donating because the caller didn't know Colbert?

DNC is doing a great job of reinvigorating our grassroots organizations in all 50's states. There's nothing at all wrong with that agenda.

Care to be more specific?

[ShortnFiery]

15. Grassroots organization is fine, but National Level? - no trust. n/t

[OzarkDem]

18. Clarify please?

Dean is doing well on all counts. Do you have some specific examples?

[MrBenchley]

16. So you want clowns and buffoons

instead of actual Democrats....

Hokay.

[ShortnFiery]

19. Yes, at least these local "grassroots clowns" will not stab us in the back

[MrBenchley]

20. Spare us the dreary melodrama....

[ShortnFiery]

21. That's the best you got? I'm disappointed. n/t

[MrBenchley]

26. What else was needed?

[oc2002]

22. Donate directly to candidates, Avoid the DNC and the DLC.

They are the problem, we must support people who listen and have a spine to fight the RW corporatocracy.

[GymGeekAus]

27. And that supports your belief amongst the people how?

It doesn't build an infrastructure so that people can get assistance with prospective campaigns. Instead, it requires any potential candidate to have a large base of monetary support coming out of the gate. In better words, your suggestion requires politicians to be rich or connected. Well, some people might be of the opinion that the rich and connected are the problem. I know I am.

You do realize you just recommended "decentralization" and "union-busting," right?

What's wrong with a little collective bargaining?

[MaineDem]

23. This is getting ridiculous

Give to whomever you please. You'll get no pat on the back for your decision or your post from me.

Those who donate to the DNC are helping to fund the state parties and their grassroots organizers. That's helping here in Maine and in every state in the country.

Why oh why do I even read these posts. Bad MaineDem! :banghead:

And more than half of the DNC is female and I don't think they even want testicles.

[ShortnFiery]

25. Hot Damn! Really, over half are Fe-male?

Do ya think they have WOMEN with balls of titanium (such as myself) too? :P :rofl:

Us radical feminists gots to know! ;)

Seriously, I'll give local - that way I KNOW how my money is being spent.
