Hey Kerry! McAuliffe! DLC/DNC - I want my money back!
The sentiments expressed in this link express my attitude as well:

Hey, John Kerry! I want my $25 back!
I gave it to your campaign specifically for the fight around a contested election. Your e-mail said, "In the post-election period of 2002, the Republicans had four times as much money as we did. With your donation, we'll be ready this time, with an army of lawyers prepared for any contingency." You probably raised millions from that appeal, and we figured you really meant it.

Early Wednesday morning, we heard John Edwards say "We've waited four years for this victory, we can wait another night." Later that morning, on "Democracy Now!" I heard stories that made my blood boil, about how Ohio voters were deprived of their right to vote by 10 hour lines, broken machines and late absentee ballots. I heard that the votes in Florida's cities, cast on easy-to-hack Diebold machines, were not reported until after it was clear just how big a margin Bush would need.

And then at noon you caved in and gave a concession speech. Say what?! I heard that you were under pressure from "members of (your) own party to concede for the good of the nation." What the hell is that supposed to mean?

How can it be good for our nation to be subjected to four more years of Bush? If you think that a tidy beginning to a national nightmare is more important than a messy beginning to a fresh start for America, why did you bother to run?

1. I sent Terry a very nasty letter yesterday
He wanted input from the rank and file.

I said the best thing for him to do is retire, and take all of his fellow DLC assholes with him.

3. Same here...
...and I'm even more irritated because they didn't process and accept my donation until Friday...
