So when the Democratic Party calls you this year for support...
...what are you going to tell them?

I personally can't wait.

It's going to be a toss up between asking them why they'd want money from a "fucking retard" like me or just letting them know I spent it all on health insurance.

Maybe both.

5. Well we Floridians will tell the party when they STOP supporting REPUBLICANS, CALL ME BACK!
That's it...in a nutshell.

19. This Floridian already told DNC, DGCC, DSCC and DCCC that
I told them that the candidates they support are too conservative for me and I will directly support the individual candidates that more closely reflect my political beliefs. Besides, this year I cannot afford to donate money since I have none. If I am capable, I will volunteer for a campaign but so far no one in my area has an active campaign for me to work for.

Organizing for America wants me to volunteer for them, but I just could not make myself support their efforts to push the flawed health insurance reform package. SO I sat that one out.

7. Never mind that Rahm didn't actually call MoveOn retarded
He just called their strategy that.

But hey, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, right? 420 smoke weed every day

10. Same difference and just as much of a declaration of war on us!

15. It's Rahm's history

But if you want to call it "thin skinned" then knock yourself out.

Rahm must go in my opinion.

16. They did call me
and I yelled at the poor guy. He said something about how the Dems were in trouble for 2010 and I said that it was their own damn fault.

I told him they could get back to me when a HCR bill was on Obama's desk.

I'll probably send some money to Barbara Boxer if it looks like Carly starts making any headway - though after that stupid Demon Sheep ad, I'm really not all that worried.

Honestly, don't they remember what it was like with the Republicans in control? Do they really want to keep on down the path they are going and have all of that happen again?

17. Don't get complacent about carly-baby. Martha Coakley assumed she had it in the bag, too.
Luckily Barbara Boxer has been aggressively raising funds for awhile now, as a preemptive measure. I donate directly, too, if I'm going to donate at all.

When I get calls from the DNC and the DSCC and the DCCC, I tell 'em the same thing - that I worked like a dog and gave til it hurt in 2008 to make sure the Dems got their solid majorities and the White House. And what have they done with it but cave to the LOSERS from morning til night. I tell them that constitutes a very poor return on my investment, and I can't afford risky investments anymore! And I close by saying - "besides, I only buy backbone these days."

27. They Called A Few Weeks Ago
I told them they would not get another cent from me until I could tell who is Democrat and who is Republican by their votes in Congress.
