I will gladly donate money to the DNC and the DCCC when I see them stand up to Bush and represent those of us who helped them get into office.

BTW -- Did anyone see the chimp at his presser today? I have the day off and was able to enjoy the show in real time. OMIGOD! My embarrassment of him as president is growing at a rate comparable to his own rate of exhibited idiocy. He blames the Democrats for EVERYTHING; takes responibility for nothing. When asked about "working with Congress" his answer was the equivalent of something like: I do work with Congress - I want them to do it my way, or I veto. If they don't want a veto, then they have to agree with me. His last 400 days are going to be increasingly dangerous for us and for the world.
