| For the rest of the year, donate only to individual PROGRESSIVE candidates |
|
After last night, that's the only worthwhile use of your donor dollar.
None to the DSCC. None to the DCCC.
They'll only give half of it to Blue Dogs and DLC'ers...the ones who DON'T deserve your support.
Support only individual PROGRESSIVE candidates in 2010.

| 1. Especially progressives doing primaries from the left on incumbent dems |

Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 12:50 AM by Juche
Don't let the dems think they can count on us in general elections just because they are democrats and we are liberals and union members. If unions and liberals (the democratic activist base) are going to put hundreds of millions of volunteer hours and dollars into the 2010 election cycle (these 2 groups always put that kind of power into each election cycle) we/they are better off doing it via primaries from the left.
It doesn't really matter anyway if it makes it harder for the incumbent to win the general. Even with super majorities the dems can't get things done so why have those supermajorities? Dropping to 240 house or 55 senate seats shouldn't be a huge problem. Esp if the losses are blue dogs and conservadems.

I sure as hell will. Boxer's my senator and she's running this year, so it's a no-brainer where to spend my money and volunteer time.

I'll do my part to take out the trash.
It's time to start weeding out the Democrats who secretly pray at the grave of Ronald Reagan.

| 10. Giving money to politicians.... |
|
HA! I stopped doing that in 1998. They can earn my vote but never again will I be a sucker and give money to these snakes. And they all are.
