[us_politics] Democratic Party Customer Comment Card

Many Democrats got a party emailing inviting feedback. I answered but, due to fatigue, it was a bit rambling.

But here it is:

I think it's time for the old leadership to step aside. I want my party to be ready to take on and eat (literally, if necessary) any Republican who gets in the way. Our party is not being led well. The biggest example of this is the aftermath. It may have been proper for John Kerry to concede, but there is more than a hint of massive voter fraud. My party should be all over that like Repbulicans over oil profits, and it just isn't. Air America is leading the charge and the Black Box Voting Project has filed the largest FOIA request in history. The Democratic Party should be backing that.

Heck, I saw a distinct lack of support of Air America Radio, which did more to get me excited about being a Democrat again than almost anything the party did.

Mr McAuliffe, please consider stepping aside. You've presided over the a most astounding contraction of Democratic political power and the Republicans are gloating over it. Rove is bandying about casually the things he and his party are thinking of doing now that they feel they have decades of majority ahead of them. Do you feel any responsiblity? I think you ought to, you ought to do the honorable thing: step aside now and get new leadership in. ASAP.

And lastly but not leastly, OPPOSE! We are the loyal opposition. Remind the Republicans of this 24/7/365. Have our representatives vote on Democratic, liberal principle. Democrats are naturally leaders, but it's time to band together for the good of the party and against single-party rule in America.

Get going. Stop navel-gazing and fretting over what we should have done. Clear the decks. Or face being the permanent minority party.

And get on those e-voting machines and don't let up until they say uncle!



Well, at least I'm trying to. The DNC website isn't responding.

Erg.
