I am not donating another cent until there are indictments.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 04:23 PM by Mend
I just got an email from Wes Clark asking for money and I always give to him, but not this time. I am not donating anything to anybody until Fitzgerald indicts. If the indictments are not good and wide, then our democracy has failed and I can't think of any way to make it better.

1. So if you don't like the indictments you're going to pout?
What does Wes Clark have to do with Fitzgerald?

4. So what DOES Wes Clark have to do with this?
Or is this just an elaborate rationalization for not wanting to donate?

7. I always give when asked, esp. to Wes Clark whom
I really like. But if it is all in vain and we can't stop the forces of evil, I guess it is time to save my money....

12. The democracy will not have failed
but Justice will be a bit ragged.

13. LOL! So democracy only exists if it does what you want?
Sounds good to me, only make it what I want, not what you want. :-)

3. The Democratic Party
isn't in charge of the indictments.

I don't understand your complaint. It's like me saying I won't give to the Red Cross because the Yankees lost.

6. I don't see how Wes Clark has anything to do with whether or not
Fitzgerald indicts.

9. He has nothing to do with it but I remember back
to Nixon and it was like this back then, before the hearings, and we knew our entire democracy was on the line....I feel like that now and very worried if nothing goes through, if rove walks, cheney walks, delay walks, libby walks. It seems worse now than with nixon and that time was really, really bad.

10. Good gosh, illogical much?
I am going to paint my house bright purple because there is peanut butter on sale in the grocery store!

Makes about as much sense.

11. I understand your point. People don't realize it yet but this is
the last chance before Fascism rules.

14. Thank you....exactly.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 05:06 PM by Mend
If this doesn't work, we are close to the end, in my opinion. All branches of government plus the news which will be saying that the war is justified, that the bushites did nothing wrong, no spy was outed, there was yellow-cake, blah, blah, blah. This is huge and if it slips away, I don't see much else but a one-party country, perpetually in power. Can you imagine this country if rove is found innocent?

17. I wouldn't be blaming or punishing Democrats,
just admitting defeat....if there are no indictments and delay walks, I think it is pretty much over, that's all. There is no checks and balances left. And no rule of law, just raw power.

20. There won't be any indictments. National security reasons and all. Tut, tut
But everyone sure liked distracting us with this for a long time. Hey look over there and don't notice while your pocket gets picked.

21. Confusing
I was not aware that the Democratic party and Wes Clark were in charge of the investigation.

A strange reaction.

23. That means it's time for a MELODRAMA FUND DRIVE for the DNC!
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 10:18 AM by LoZoccolo
Clark is a pretty cool guy, so I'll declare a MELODRAMA FUND DRIVE and help him out!

You heard Mr./Mrs./Ms. Mend's call: it's time for you out there to donate to the DNC, because other people...just aren't gonna.

https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute

I just gave $10; sign in here and declare your donation to the DNC for the MELODRAMA FUND DRIVE! Let's see how much money we can raise to counter the melodrama!
