As we move toward the general election, the Democratic Party has to be the Party of ordinary Americans, not Washington lobbyists and special interests. We've unilaterally agreed to shut lobbyists out of the process, and are we're relying on people just like you. We have a chance to change the way business is done in this country, and we're taking the lead. Will you join us and make a contribution right now to help us elect Barack Obama?

What he’s saying is that big wigs in smoke-filled rooms will decide who the nomimee is, not the voters. I figured this was their gimmick all along.
Right; the Democrat operatives are already getting tons of support by the LameStream Media....I mean, my God, the networks may as well be fellating Obama...and the ‘rats are getting support from the teachers unions, trade unions, government worker unions, black so-called civil rights leaders, etc.
So they don’t need extra money...they get the free ads already.
Hell Howie even the GOP “””counted””” the votes in Florida.......:o)
They said on the news that this new “rule” does not apply to house and senate fundraising.
I don't like the direction of "change" Howard.
Will you join us and make a contribution right now to help us elect Barack Obama?
Nope.
Democrat policy: “Vote for me and I’ll give you money I stole
from others.”
This is rubbish. The Democrats will take money from certain lobbyists, and avoid some. They still need tens of millions of dollars from contributors. Those contributors will expect things in return.
All this means is the price list just went up. If you pay twice as much we won’t classify you as a “lobbyist”.
Publik edumakation.
(Unless, of course, that's your error....then nevermind.)
This must be the new thing the democrats say before every election. They said the same thing last year and then proceeded to turn lobbyist ass kissing into a science. Voters should know by now that politicians from both parties are bought and paid for by the same lobbyist. We will rid ourselves of the lobbyist when we stop electing the same group of scumbags year after year.
Damn. I thought he was going to finally announce the Democrats' merger with the Communist Party USA.
ROFL... I guess all the lobbyists have already contributed?
I thought maybe Dean was going to announce the democrats are planning to become socialists instead of communists.
Is Looney Dean going to disavow Moveon.org?
No?
Then Dean is a Liar!
Whats New?
Clearly Dean wants HillObama to go after McCain’s lobbyists in the general election.
They'll take their money in the end.
More smoke and mirrors.
Sierra Club, NRDC, NOW, NAMBLA, NARAL, etc. not included.
ROTFLMAO!
Translation: Left-wing pressure groups welcome. Businesses need not apply.
We've kept them on board as long as we possibly could, but now we have to look "holier than thou," so, sadly we will have to dump them for now. But don't worry. They'll be back bigger and stronger than ever before when the election is over. We'll make it up to them. Of course, we hope you the voting public will not see through our shameless ploy.
