Democrats wary about lack of party funds

A skimpy bank balance at the Democratic National Committee has some party members nervously questioning Chairman Howard Dean's fundraising and management skills as they prepare for midterm elections this year. The DNC raised $51 million in 2005 but finished the year with just $5.5 million in the bank.

Might have more to do the with Dems typical lack of ideas and complete lack of connection with voters than it has to do with Howard Dean . . . .

Keeping this in mind, now imagine how the DemoRats would manage the country's finances if they were back in power....

'nuff said!

[SteveMcKing]

DNC donations are now going to 527 groups like PETA and GLADD, who make no attempt to hide their rudeness and offensive views.

At least democrats know they have to lie to get elected. Radical leftists don't even bother.

I think Dean spent a lot of it on yodeling lessons. YEAARRRGGGHHHHHH just don't make it no more.

Bubba's constantly running his mouth about how wealthy he's become.

I'm as Reagan Republican as they come, but we need to be careful what we call good news. The more the Dims fail and flail, the more the GOP can:

1) Move to the center and fill the vacuum, and
2) Use sleazy methods to keep getting themselves elected.

The incompetence of the Dims lets the GOP ignore the wishes (lower taxes, clean government, lower spending, protection of innocent life) of US, its base.

We need a solid, competent, sane opposition party to keep our guys straight. I'd prefer that it be to the right of the GOP (Constitution Party, Taxpayers Party, etc), but we take what we can get until then.

That's what they get for following the same practices they tout as being good for diversity - put in the least qualified twerp and reward him handsomely for doing a lousy job.

[blackie]

Roger that!

[reagan_fanatic]

Howard Dean's a socialist. Can't he just raise taxes on the democrats?

[Brilliant]

Maybe they can borrow money from Air America.

[FormerACLUmember]

I must once again praise the magnificent Howard Dean, George Soros, MoveOn.org, etc, etc.

The gifts that keep on giving.
