Holy crap! It's class warfare - and it's not the republicans!!
I have always prided myself on turning my back on the republicans even though I come from a family who has never had a democrat in it. This party represented all the people for me; not just the rich ones, or the educated ones, or the poor ones - but the majority of americans no matter what their personal circumstance.

When I learned of the letter sent to Speaker Pelosi threatening the DCCC - I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Here are 20 wealthy people who may act like they are Democrats - but in reality they are republicans in democratic clothing. By trying to decide what "is best" for the rest of us, are they not belittling our votes? They are saying we don't have their money and thus we do not count?

To those 20 assholes, I denounce you...and may I add a big - "go fuck yourselves". You may have millions in dollars but we have millions in votes. Your money is no good here.

3. I just donated to moveon.com and
signed the petition to Nancy Pelosi.

I feel so good.

We must fight back against these dirty tricks and power grapping people.

8. The party didn't do ANYTHING to FL and MI. Those states did it to themselves
The party didn't force them to disregard the rules.

19. The DNC went nuclear, no delegates
instead of stripping half, keeping the voters involved but penalizing the state official


see how easy it could have been avoided?

20. It is so easy to post here and complain.
Show me the demonstrations, letters and activism last summer when this stuff was dreamed up. People have to stand up and make noise. This, spoken from on Ohioan who stood on the corner time and again in 2004 to get the vote counted. The rest of the country never showed up. Guess what, the recount didn't happen but we were there trying. People have got to get off of their butts and take a stand.

6. ...........in reality they are republicans in democratic clothing
Thats what the DLC is all about.

The infiltration of our party by the GOP.

The DLC is supposed to be the backup plan in case the GOP loses their grip on DC politics, as happened after Bush ruined the GOP's chances this year (and years to come).

And they dont trust McCain to be one of them, they dont believe they can control him.

These big moneyed corporatists were counting on getting Clinton elected so they would maintain control of the WH (much as Bill took over after 12 years of Reagan and Bush sr. and continued much of the GOP agenda).

Thats why they (and Hillary) are so pissed at Obama.

11. Forget Michigan and Florida !
A handful of Hillary's RICH supporters are trying to disenfrachise everybody in America who Works for a Living!


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

12. Just watch. They made a big mistake.
Watch donations to Obama's campaign go through the roof. The campaign has already set records raising funds, but after this outrage from those fat cats, you ain't seen nothing yet.

15. The internet makes us all joint stockholders in an owner run democracy
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 11:04 PM by melody
Obama's average donation is $109. That's what they're terrified of -- capital can no longer capitalize.
