The following was my response:<BR/><BR/>=====================<BR/><BR/>Dear Mr. Dean,<BR/><BR/>I will not give any money to the Democratic party this year. So far, I have donated over $500 to Hillary Clinton's campaign. I will continue to donate more to her campaign as time goes on. For the following reasons, I will give nothing to the Democratic party so long as you are in charge:<BR/><BR/>(1) Your complicity in Obama's apparently successful attempts to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan voters. <BR/><BR/>(2) Obama's false and incendiary accusations of racism against the Clintons. You know these accusations are false, yet you stood on the sidelines and let it happen.<BR/><BR/>(3) The horrible misogyny that has been directed against Hillary by both the media and Obama. You know this is wrong, yet you stood on the sidelines and let it happen. <BR/><BR/>I'm all for a good fight between Democratic opponents, but there are two things that should never occur: the use of race or gender against an opponent. Obama has committed both sins, yet you stood on the sidelines and let it happen.<BR/><BR/>You will get none of my money. I've given over $500 to Hillary and will continue to give much more. My wallet is closed to you this time. If Obama wins the nomination, my wallet will still stay closed to you. <BR/><BR/>-[Chinaberry Turtle]<BR/><BR/>p.s. Please take me off your mailing list.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) -- headed to announce their plan, they met Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who made a request common when Capitol Hill news conferences are in the offing: "Hey, guys, can I come along?" And when Obama went before the microphones, he was generous with his list of senators to congratulate -- a list that included himself.<BR/><BR/>"I want to cite Lindsey Graham, Sam Brownback, Mel Martinez, Ken Salazar, myself, Dick Durbin, Joe Lieberman . . . who've actually had to wake up early to try to hammer this stuff out," he said.<BR/><BR/>To Senate staff members, who had been arriving for 7 a.m. negotiating sessions for weeks, it was a galling moment. Those morning sessions had attracted just three to four senators a side, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) recalled, each deeply involved in the issue. Obama was not one of them."Shainzonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219260005354359058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-34599343172406424522008-03-28T11:02:00.000-07:002008-03-28T11:02:00.000-07:00My gal just sent me an email that got me to open u...My gal just sent me an email that got me to open up my wallet again. If yall can, please donate to the campaign. Let's show these punks they can't intimidate our gal into capitulation!<BR/><BR/>================<BR/><BR/>Dear [Chinaberry Turtle],<BR/><BR/>Have you noticed the pattern? <BR/><BR/>Every time our campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest we should end our pursuit of the Democratic nomination. <BR/><BR/>Those anxious to force us to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think we're going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls we are, and they know we are in a position to win. <BR/><BR/>In three days, we're facing a critical March filing deadline -- another chance to show the strength of our campaign. Let's take these three days to make something absolutely clear: we aren't going to simply step aside. You and I are going to keep fighting for what we believe in, and together, we're going to win. <BR/><BR/>Your contribution of $120 came just as we needed it; thank you. Can you help us show our strength today with a contribution of $180? <BR/><BR/>Contribute today to help us raise $3 million by the March filing deadline at midnight Monday. <BR/><BR/>Every time we are challenged to prove the strength and durability of our appeal to voters, we meet our goals. We did it in New Hampshire, we did it on February 5, and we did it again this month in Texas and Ohio. <BR/><BR/>With the March filing deadline, we have the chance to show our strength again. This is a crucial test as we approach the next big primary in Pennsylvania and the contests that follow. <BR/><BR/>Millions of voters are still waiting to have their say. Let's make sure they have a chance to be heard. <BR/><BR/>Contribute today to help us raise $3 million by the March filing deadline at midnight Monday. <BR/><BR/>At times like this, with everything on the line, it means so much to me to know that I can rely on you to meet the challenges we face head-on. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for everything, <BR/><BR/><BR/>Hillary Rodham ClintonChinaberry Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917878302338229102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-17812371296223984322008-03-28T09:44:00.000-07:002008-03-28T09:44:00.000-07:00Agree with commenter.

I'm sick and tired of the Democrats playing "THE ABORTION CARD".<BR/><BR/>If the Democratic candidate loses, I have no one to blame but Dean, Pelosi, etc. for running a weak candidate -- again.<BR/><BR/>It's not my fault I can't vote for him. Run candidates I can vote for and we'll talk.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704607178106828945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-53431599465531192662008-03-28T03:17:00.000-07:002008-03-28T03:17:00.000-07:00Thankfully there are still a few like Krugman and ...Thankfully there are still a few like Krugman and Craig Crawford that don't follow the lemmings of the MSM.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday Howie Dean played the abortion card. With the polls showing that 22% of both candidate's supporters would stay home or vote for McCain or write in, Dean conviently honed in on women as defectors, warning them about the dire prospects for Supreme Court nominations. This is supposed to scare Hillary supporters and bring them into line.<BR/><BR/>The fact is that keeping abortion legal is just as important to Repugs as Dems as it keeps their base intact. It is the Dems in Congress that have not prevented the far right judge appointments - namely, Vermont's Pat Leahy.gendergappershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607028861861443195noreply@blogger.com
