Dean Alienating Democrat Dollars
Bob Novak (loved by the left when criticizing Iraq…hated when criticizing them) has an observation in his latest summary article about the current state of the DNC:
Lifetime Democratic contributors have made good on their threat to stop giving money to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) so long as Howard Dean is its chairman.
Some of the party’s longtime money men warned that would happen when Dean took over the DNC following the 2004 elections. Lower contributions, combined with Dean’s heavy spending, have resulted in the most recent cash-on-hand report by the DNC of $11.3 million, compared with $43.6 million at the Republican National Committee.
Disaffected Democrats keep giving to congressional committees. Current cash figures are $33 million at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $35.1 million at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The good news for the Dems is the fact that as Novak stated, they’re still giving to individual candidates and the congress in general…but…it seems overall satisfaction with the DNC is lower than Bush’s approval ratings (hahahahaha…sigh). Somewhere I want to see Dean’s approval ratings…they can’t be that great if the media isn’t covering it (insert random liberal press quote here). Some pundits may say it’s difficult when you’re competing moneywise with rich white conservatives, but I think it’s hard to get money from a Democrating voting population that would rather take money from their candidates than give money. It’s the Democrat way…the government is here for me me me…I’m not here to give to them, they’re here to give to me.
On that note, I want to see the pork search engine enacted sooner, especially before this election is over so I can know who the pork barrel piggies are over there…and point and laugh.
On a personal note, my occassional conservative, but always a friend, friend just played at the House of Blues in downtown Disney. Apparently it went swimmingly, and he might be playing more shows for this tour, which MTV is a part of somewhere in there…anywho…check out his MySpace if you’re into that punky rocky kind of thing…
I’m sorry. I would have loved to read your rant, but I couldn’t get past the first line and the contents of the parentheses. When a piece I’m trying to take seriously begins ridiculously, I tend to believe the whole thing will end as such. Sorry Stout Republican, hope I can fight this garsh darn habit of mine and read some later fiddle faddle of yours.
As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbably, must be the truth.”
Observation of reality, disparaged by the gray close minded and held as truism’s by those of cruel agenda, seldom fails to reveal singular truths.
As for fiddle faddle, I want some too!!!
