You'll get your change...

[Smiling Assassin27]

after Obama takes care of the DNC with your money. So all Kool-Aid guzzlers line up to be fleeced for another $30...and enjoy the T-shirt. For some reason, I see a term filled with deficit spending, and I don't know why! :rofl:

Transition alert: Obama's change agenda on-hold til you pay DNC debts

He's the fellow who raised way more than $605 million and, would you believe it, won the presidential election campaign to bring real change to Washington.

As an important part of changing the money culture of Washington he was asking for another $30 donation from everyone on the e-mail list.

It seems that in addition to his 6/10ths of a billion dollars to move into the White House, the Democratic National Committee spent way more than the $100 million in cash it had raised.

In fact, it took out "substantial loans."

Well, it turns out now, the DNC's debts are far worse than originally imagined. Today, Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe sent another urgent e-mail to supporters seeking at least another $30.

Here's what he said:

"We'll get to work transforming this country. But first, we need to take care of the DNC."

Did we hear that right? Now that Obama's the president-elect, the top priority is the Democratic National Committee?

To drive home the point elsewhere in the same e-mail Plouffe adds: "Before we do anything else, we need to pay for this winning strategy."

Don't worry, you still get the Victory T-shirt for this $30. But it sounds like pretty much everything else is on hold. This change stuff is looking to be an expensive process, even before it gets started.

The Progressive Majority:

Why a Conservative America Is a Myth

Executive Summary


Conventional wisdom says that the American public is fundamentally conservative - hostile to government, in favor of unregulated markets, at peace with inequality, wanting a foreign policy based on the projection of military power, and traditional in its social values.


But as this report demonstrates, that picture is fundamentally false. Media perceptions and past Republican electoral successes notwithstanding, Americans are progressive across a wide range of controversial issues, and they're growing more progressive all the time.


This report gathers together years of public opinion data from unimpeachably nonpartisan sources to show that on issue after issue, the majority of Americans hold progressive positions. And this is true not only of specific policy proposals, but of the fundamental perspectives and approaches that Americans bring to bear on issues.


Nor is the progressive majority merely a product of the current political moment. On a broad array of issues, particularly social issues, American opinion has grown more and more progressive over the past few decades. In contrast, it is difficult to find an issue on which the public has grown steadily more conservative over the last 10, 20, or 30 years.
The issues covered in this report include the following:
The role of government - Americans support an active government that tackles problems, provides services, and aids those in need.
The economy - Americans support increasing the minimum wage and strong unions, and believe the wealthy and corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes.
Social issues - Americans support legal abortion and embryonic stem cell research; opinions on equal rights for women and gay Americans have grown dramatically more progressive in recent years.
Security - Americans support a progressive approach to national security, emphasizing strong alliances and diplomacy over the indiscriminate use of military force. On domestic security issues, progressive approaches to crime and gun control enjoy wide support.
The environment - By enormous margins, Americans favor strong environmental protections, a core progressive belief.
Energy - Americans support energy conservation and the development of alternative fuels.
Health care - Americans clearly favor universal coverage and are more than comfortable with government solutions to the health care problem.In short, a look across the scope of American public opinion reveals a public that holds progressive positions and supports progressive solutions on economic issues, on social issues, on security issues - indeed, on nearly all the key issues confronting the country. For years, the conventional wisdom has maintained just the opposite, but the facts are impossible to ignore.

Hey, haven't you heard?

Bush isn't responsible for any of that - it's all Barney Frank's fault. ;)

I heard he hadn't really helped he as much as the Clinton campaign had hoped.

All the people who send another 30 bucks are just stupid. Send that 30 bucks to a homeless shelter and let the rich democratic party figure out there own mess. I never contribute to political campaigns it's better to give it to the homeless or veterans of wars.

God love 'em, what are they talkin' about?

The DNC is just doing the same thing here that they do with their public policy: if everyone just pays a little more taxes this year, they can spend two weeks in the Mediterranean on holiday instead of two weeks in Martha's Vineyard.
