		<description>&lt;p&gt;I know, EPU, but just in case anyone’s here with me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;398&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Just two more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18187&quot;&gt;donors&lt;/a&gt; to make the halfway point today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, a bonus if we can put together $54 dollars more is that we’ll &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18187&quot;&gt;break $20k&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;396&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just 4 more contributors to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18187&quot;&gt;halfway&lt;/a&gt; mark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m thinking we can get to that today, which would be Suh-Weet!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brendan, gets a pass however.  Better he should have a good surprise when Senator Rick Noriega stands tall on the Senate floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many, many thanks to all who’ve contributed to get us this far.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“While I understand your disappointment-should have heard me cursing out the FISA sellout-the only way to get more and better Democrats, like Rick Noriega, from a state that Democrats have to be damn tough and resourceful in-is to work for them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t mourn. Don’t piss and moan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Organize.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, NO.&lt;br /&gt;
I’m sorry. I wrote about this last week at brendancalling.  The system is too deeply entrenched: i think my final wake up call was the O’Hanlonm/Pollack editorial, or more specifically hearing it repeated ad nauseum on everything from NPR to the BBC (and every newspaper) as the opinion of “war critics”.  And we all know what happens in  September: a democratic cave-in on Iraq that’s gonna make the Utah Mine look like a walk in the park.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2007/8/13/165629/987&quot;&gt;Booman’s take on why the democrats are caving on everything&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2007/8/11/114637/949&quot;&gt;especially Iraq&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nope. I’m done throwing good money after bad.  I’m not helping anyone at all anymore.  So far as I’m concerned every last one of those politicians can go to hell.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-894833&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;brendancalling @ 83&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;sorry, but no.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2006 I gave support to a number of democrats and we’ve been stabbed in the back repeatedly. Including by the likes of John Conyers and Nancy Pelosi, not to mention Blue America candidates like Chris Carney and Joe Sestak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So no.  I’m not supporting anyone anymore unless they show they deserve it. Not in word, not in  deed, and certainly not with my money. The people I helped to elect have not brought about the changes they promised.  I have no reason to expect that the next batch are any different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think we should dub any candidate that Rove works for, or has worked for, or even appears to weigh in for, a ‘Turdblossom Special’.  You know, like Blue Plate Special, or Orangeblossom Special, only disgusting, inedible and unlistenable.  Has a ring to it, doesn’t it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I like it. Planning on stealing it and using it at the earliest opportunity. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
