The DNC and the $100 revolution

The early line after the passage of McCain-Feingold assumed that the DNC would become a shadow of its former self. Stripped of more than 50 percent of its resources, it would shrink in significance and impact. The hundreds of millions of dollars of soft money lost would flow to other organizations, creating a new power Democratic electoral power structure with the DNC in the mix but not paramount.

Here’s the math, first described by Joe Trippi. 45-50 million Democrats will vote in 2004. If 2 million of these 45-50 million, about 5 percent, sign up with the DNC and give $100, the DNC will have $200 million to spend this year. $200 million is much more than Bush has raised so far through his $2,000 a person model. $200 million would be an awful lot of money, and would once again make the DNC the biggest and most important actor on the Democratic/Progressive side.

2. The Democratic party no longer exist we are left with the repubgs

or repug lite. The DLC/DNC/RNC party now runs our country and we can only take it back from the ground up. With the corp media we can be sure the revolution will not be televised.

4. I'll support the half of the RNC/DNC party that supports me

Maybe you're right and there's only one party. But half of that party favors reproductive choice, wants to raise the minimum wage, wants to protect the environment, sign the Kyoto accords, support peace initiatives throught the UN, supported UN inspections over the war with Iraq, wants to hold Halliburton accountable and end their no-bid contracts, and wants workable, pro-patient health care reform.

When you say there's not difference between the parties, you lie.

3. Did Gov Dean raise the 400k that he needed to pay off several small debts?

I went to his website to see if there was anything about it. I didn't see anything. In fact, his website is totally depressing. It was last updated Feb 13. I felt like I had stumbled into a ghost town - especially when you think how alive and vibrant it was just so short a time ago.

Well, I've managed to put myself in a bad mood. Any good news will be appreciated - I need a pick-me-up.
