This isn't yet another Dem bashing diary, but I thought I'd share my experience this morning with a DNC staffer.
I never, ever answer the phone when the caller ID says "unknown name, unknown number" as it's always a solicitor.
I was feeling frisky today so I did. It was the DNC. She dived right into the sales pitch. Does she not know that I hold Democracy bonds? That I'm given thousands to individual candidates, PACs, DSCC, DCCC, and DNC over the last few years?
Anyway, long story short. I politely explained that I'm not giving any money to the DNC, DSCC, DCCC or any other blanket democratic groups until I start seeing major changes with the leaderships' decision regarding key issues. I explained FISA, War funding, et al...
"But the republicans make it hard for us to get anything done," she says.
Hope it sinks in.
I also told her I'd be giving money to Edwards and individual house candidates.
