Stupid is as Stupid gets told by other morons



You would think that the DLC consultants would realize that most Democrats don't give a SHIT about what they think of Howard Dean shutting them out of the perenially losing component, them being paid as consultants. As Jane relayed from a reader yesterday, don't get rid of Bob Shrum he writes great concession speeches.

But no, they are running off to plant stories in Drudge (link to him? no effing way) which then shows up from the Alpha Moron at Moron Junction:

NO WONDER... [Jonah Goldberg]

The Democrats want the government to pay for elections. They're broke -- at least compared to the GOP. Rightside Redux has the numbers from the new FEC report.

Way to go Dr. Dean.


Of course, that hardly tells the story at all. Dean is doing right what he promised to do and work on grass roots and as an ACTUAL news organization (Bloomberg) points out it has been quite successful:


Democrats, seeking to regain control of the U.S. Congress this November, are narrowing their fund- raising gap with the Republicans.

Democratic Party election committees raised $143 million in 2005, up from $128 million four years earlier, led by a record amount collected by the Senate campaign organization. Republican committees raised $206 million, down from $234 million in 2001, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

The Democrats also reported $47 million in the bank at the start of 2006, $18 million less than the Republicans. That compares with a $37 million difference at the start of 2002, the last year congressional elections were held when there was no presidential race.

``It will give the Democrats a boost, even psychological,'' said Herbert Alexander, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and a campaign-finance specialist. ``It's always nice to have money and it's always nice to be able to spend it in meaningful ways that will help the party win seats.''


You'd think they'd start lying about something less easy to fact-check.

Morons.
