What is your opinion of the DCCC

[and-justice-for-all]

Good or bad?

[FiveGoodMen]

1. "Too closely tied to the DLC," would be my answer.

[Deep13]

2. Bad investment.

I don't want my $$$ supporting psuedo-dems.

[zipplewrath]

3. Incumbent defense

they don't like primaries and it exists primarily to enforce discipline for the leadership. Give money directly. In this internet age, it isn't really necessary to give them money anymore.

4. What is DCCC? never heard of it.

Soemtimes I really hat acronyms.

5. Sort of an all or nothing framework you propose, but my 2 cents -

I support them as one function for having a voice in the party. The DCCC has the means and the
where-with-all to get out a message, make news, and - yes - focus member donations to specific candidates.

That's their job. Our job is being a part of the process.

:hi:

8. Part of the money machine that controls politics.

[Motown_Johnny]

9. Necessary Evil

If it helps us keep the (R)s out of office it can't be all bad

10. Stopped giving to them

and the DSCC. Give directly to a candidate, moveon or DFA etc.
The DCCC supports candidates that can fund themselves partially at least and many are corporately owned.

15. You don't have to fund the DCCC or the DSCC to have your voice heard, imho.

They both have feedback functions on the national website and local reps to contact. I suggest we all do so. Big money remains a bugaboo, yet democracy remains a participatory endeavor across the board.

11. Ain't that the group that goes around mutilatin' squirrels?

(obscure Seinfeld reference).

Seriously that's the organization that Rahm Emanuel used to head up and how he got all them friggin Blue Dog asswipes into Congress that are now trying their damnedest to screw up health care reform.

I guess it's alright now that Emanuel is no longer involved with it. That douchebag has the Midas touch in reverse.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

13. The people NOT to give campaign donations to.

They will happily give your money to anti-choice, anti-union, anti-gay conservative Dems if they think it will win them the seat.

Not for me, thank you veery much.

[pinto]

16. You don't have to fund them. It may help if you speak to them directly, though.

:hi:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

17. I have spend too many years --

trying to talk to them. They choese not to hear me. So I choose not to fund them. :shrug:

[Deep13]

14. I suggest Democracy for America or Emily's List as alternatives. nt
