I dont need my money back

There are so many people upset with the action of the democratic leadership, to approve funding/write a blanc check to Bush as it relates to the Iraq war. As senator Feingold wrote in a recommended diary in Daily Kos, that is a COLLAPSE FOR THE DEMOCRATS. The democratic leadership proved once more that they dont have the guts to stand up for what is right. There are some senators like Russ Feingold or Ted Kennedy that do and I will always support them. But many others, including Harry Reid, have no problem capitulating to the worst administration in the history of the country.

Anyway, I am glad about one thing. I dont need my money back!! There are so many diaries in Daily Kos the last few days, in which people express their disappointment with many democrats they supported and write that they want their money back! These include people that contributed to the campaigns of senators like Tester or Webb, I guess. Well, I am glad I did not. When Kos was helping these senators with fundraising in his site, I considered supporting them. I desperately wanted the democratic party to win last November, like all of us. But then I decided that I will not support such candidates, because I had doubts about them and they seemed to be a little too "centrists" for my taste. My thinking was simple. Why would I support anyone who served in a Reagan administration? And it seems that I was proven right.

I am glad I contributed to the campaign of Ned Lamont. He lost, but I am sure he would have been on the Feingold side had he been elected. I am also glad that I contributed (and continue to do so) to Move On. It is a great organization that really fights for what is right. But I will never support democrats that are not progressive liberals, no matter who their opponent is.
