Any DNC Members out there that can justify not funding the Wa recount??
What the F-ck is wrong with the DNC?? I want a DNCer to tell me why, after Kerry just gave them 23 million dollars and now another 13 million that they can't fund the Wa recount? Someone explain it to me so I can understand. Please? They say Kerry doesn't need a recount becuse he can't make up 126,000 votes in Ohio. But now Grigoire is 45 votes away and they don't think she can find the votes in a state that went blue? is that it ? Am I crazy?? Tell me why DNCers. End of rant.

1. Kerry paid for it.
Kerry used unspent campaign funds and paid for the WA recount.

3. No he didn't.
He donated $250,000, but the funds are not fully raised yet.

2. You think...
The DNC "establishment" feels they need to respond to popular demands?

Take care.

4. What a waste
I thought the same thing earlier.. they have 50 million unspent dollars and no debt.. they can't fork over $250,000 to help a recount?

Cheap bastads

8. Don't just sit and BITCH
Why haven't you e-mailed the DNC?

Here's the address: www.democrats.org--go to the contact page and fill out the form.

For god's sake, beat up on them!

I just wrote to Air America and asked for their help.

Think of ways you can get attention for this and get people to give!!!

10. I don't but
just entering complaints into threads is pretty worthless, don't you think?

That's the problem with Democrats--perpetual bickerers, whiners, and victims. Well, I for one am SICK of being a victim and I don't see what bitching does when it's aimed at the people here. BITCH TO HIGHER POWERS if you must bitch.

11. Look she only needs 75k now and it was 100k an hour ago!!!!!!!!
do the math -- that means 25k in a hour or so at least as far as I can tell. Tell the DNC where to put it and then make a donation. Those of us who can be are here in the time of need.
