Dems just called me asking for money
I gave the guy an earful. He didn't even know what the vote was about today. I asked why should I give money to them when they can't present a united front against people like Alito. The bastard was chuckling at me when I hung up on him.

4. I will donate to DFA...and the DNC (but only right after a Dean speech).
Howard Dean speaks for me and always has.

10. Do you know where that money goes?

How much of it goes to support the weaklings who screwed us today?

DFA? Nothing from me.

DNC? Nada.


I'm contributing directly to the campaigns of candidates who I believe have conviction.

13. I have donated to the DNC, but after today, I donate to the
candidate. Maybe it won't be much. I'm not a millionaire, but it is to the candidate only. The thought of DNC money going to Nelson of FL disgusts me.

I am beyond pissed-off.

8. Calm down please.
THIS IS NOTHING compared to the amount of problems for Bush in 2006. We all know what the truth is and I still believe in this new age of the blogosphere to expose truth. We now have learned a lesson about the power of the internet, and did all these petitions/e-mails/phone calls etc too late. We need to focus on protecting the blogs, fighting against voter fraud and fighting the propagandist techniques used against the American people for political gain and influence. Beyond that we all know the people of America are starting to figure it out. Republicans are a one trick pony, in the end.

"They" had a head start in the media on this one. Trust me the Dems right now who voted for a vote on Alito did it with a bit of "shock and awe" over the incredible effort of the people to try to fight this. They struggle with the propaganda techniques of the right, and once again although some thought they had lost this battle. It is because they are as stunned as we are that America has become so delusional. A vote in a State election is a vote, and no matter how delusional the right is, they will vote. They are anticipating the inevitable flood of negative ads from the right that only need controversy as a means to lie.

I love the following site because it explains almost every technique "they" use. Go to the home page to see what worthy cause the research on this site was done for.

I feel we the people are starting to figure it all out and have had enough. Our Senators are used to a legislative atmosphere ruled by these deceptive techniques. Some are beaten down and defeated, they are recovering from the political injuries of the last 3 years. We need to stand behind them in these times and let them know we understand, we forgive them, and we stand behind them for the greater cause of taking back our great nation.

We will NEVER give up!!! We are the people of America and we have had quite enough! Time for the next round, and we will win this time!

We need to raise money, not look for excuses not to give it.
