Fundraisers won't donate to dems if Dean wins

[liskddksil]

Bob Novack says his sources say that if Dean wins many big time donors won't give to the democrats as long as he is chairman. If thats true then we don't need their money. Its only causing us to lose elections.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

1. Bob Novak's sources

I'd take it with a pinch of salt

[Kerrytravelers]

2. Now I want him in even more...

I I never was a Dean-iac. I like the guy and I think he'll make a wonderful DNC CHairman. This only goes to prove my point.

Bye bye Terru McSellout

[marc_the_dem]

3. Fuck em

Who needs them....

[skylarmae]

4. wonder if it is the same source who leaked

the name of the covert CIA operative. Novak is a shameless hack

[justinsb]

5. Good

I think Novak is full of sh*t but I hope he's right about this, if big money loses interest in the Democrats and the Democrats lose interest in big money perhaps they'll go back to being a progressive party

[papau]

19. I agree - we no longer need the big fund raisers - if they want to beg to

get on board fine.

Otherwise we will know who the enemy is.

Bush did not pull down $1 Billion this last cycle from internet folks - and the small percentage of the corporate money thrown the way of Dems is an insult to begin with.

[adigal]

6. Um, what Dem fundraisers

are talking to Novak??? He is just trying to scare them away from Dean.

[BlueEyedSon]

7. Novack's message from the RW is "We fear Dean."

[Kota]

14. I think you got it right.

[DaedelusNemo]

26. Best endorsement possible - I'm off the fence and for Dean /nt

[Nite Owl]

8. The party sold our souls for

that money, we need to claim it back. They have to fear him for a reason and we are better without it.

[liskddksil]

15. absolutely

[Eloriel]

31. Oh, BEAUTIFULLY put

Just beautiful. And so true, of course (which is what makes it "beautiful").

[burned]

9. haha

The R's are afraid of Dean. :)
Otherwise they would just be quiet and let the bad happen.

[aden_nak]

10. "OMFG we are scared of Dean." - Robert "Douchebag for Liberty" Novack

[burythehatchet]

13. that's exactly right, they truly do fear him.

[Liberal Veteran]

11. And of course Novakula only wants to help the democratic party?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[burythehatchet]

12. you forgot to add the last part of his sentence

"...sure he'll get the little internet donations...."

why this bastard isn't in jail, let alone employed, is beyond me.

[ewagner]

16. Duh!!! That's the whole point!!!

The reason the DNC has turned into Casper Milqtoast is because they are afraid of turning off their big doners whose goals are TOTALLY different from the rank-and-file base of good, honest, hard-working traditional Democrats......if Dean is elected, he'll appeal to the base for fund-raising and not the big-money doners...THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT....

Novak is an idiot if he hasn't figured it out....

okay....

he's an idiot UNER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!!!!

I wasn't a Deaniac during the primaries, but I want him as head of the DNC.....NOW!!!!!!

[Larkspur]

17. And what's the problem with losing Robber Baron donors?

:shrug:

Sounds like the shock waves from the Florida DNC delegation endorsement of Dean are still rocking the boat.

The only Fat Cat donors who won't donate if Dean is the nominee are the corporate crooks. George Soros and his big donor allies support Dean.

[EC]

18. fuck him...Novak always says what the

republicans are trying to make us do...reverse psychology...


On edit: if we were smart we would do exactly what he tells us not to...

[smurfygirl]

20. It's clear that Dean should be head then

Clearly novak and his fools are scared of dean.:scared:

[janx]

21. So now they're trotting out Novak?

HA! The blogger story didn't work, so they're pulling out the "big guns," eh?

This is hilarious! :party:

Bring 'em on, bay-bee! :toast:

[Cheswick2.0]

22. Looks like little Bobbie Drooler is getting nervous

I think there are some fat cat donors who are killing us. The sooner they scoot their asses back to the republican party lock stock and barrel the better off we will be. They only donate 23 cents on the dollar that they give to republicans anyway.
Any politcian that falls for this because they are getting big bucks from these guys should be unemployed in their next election.

[Southsideirish]

23. We've already proved we don't need them. And we won't have to sell

our souls to the devil anymore if they aren't part of the picture.

[autorank]

24. In the words of the prophet, "They can go fuck themselves!"

[BornaDem]

25. Who will they donate to?

Nobody? Will they starve their own party or actively support another?

[Zhade]

27. All the more reason for Dean to get the job!

Break the stranglehold of corporate donations and expected returns.

[d.l.Green]

41. All us small donors expect is a little democracy n/t

[moggie12]

28. The more Novak and the RW knock Dean,

the more I want him for DNC chair. And these alleged "money men", I'm betting their exactly the kind of contributors we shouldn't take money from (e.g., the Wall Street crowd.)

[Laurab]

29. If Novak said that - Dean's obviously the right guy

That's the biggest endorsement for Dean I've seen yet!

[Eloriel]

30. GOOD!! That would be one VERY positive step forward

We need a party of, by and for The People -- and that means people-funded, not corporate or big-wig funded.

Of course, it's Bob Novak's job to keep the one person who'd make one helluvan effective DNC chairman out of the running if possible. Last week he even called him "unstable."

If Novak's against him, if Novak is making threats about funding over him, everyone here ought to KNOW that Dean is far and away the best choice, period, end of discussion. there is no way in hell Novak would be giving the Dems GOOD advice about who to choose. No way in hell.

[lojasmo]

32. Fuck Novak, his sources, and "many big time donors." What utter crap. N/T

[Beth in VT]

33. Dean is their biggest threat - don't let them freak you out ... again!

[AntiCoup2K4]

34. Fuck the douchebag, and fuck corporations trying to buy this party...

Something tells me that Howard Dean ain't worried about raising money ;)

[ImADeanDem]

35. I'd rather lose those donors...

than lose all the actual VOTERS I think we'd lose if the party chose someone like Roemer.

[mattclearing]

36. If Dean wins, we won't need them. The less corporate we are, the more

people will donate.

[jackster]

37. BALONEY!

this is just the rethugs trying to further divide the party.

don't forget you have all the ditto heads "begging" the DNC to choose Dean because they say it will be the downfall of the Democratic Party? Reverse psychology. These guys are AFRAID of Dean. Look what he's done - they KNOW the tide is turning and they're scared you know whatless!

[Walt Starr]

38. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

Even more of a reason for Dean to win!!!!!

[Justitia]

39. hahahahaha - The Evil Ones must be really scared of Dean! - eom

[Andromeda]

40. Spoken by a true vampire...

The only one who scares me is Nofacts and the rest of his ilk.

Repeat after me: Select Howard Dean and the money will come, the money will come, the money will come.
