(11,605 posts)They call me constantly, but I tell them every time that I want to pick my candidates. I work too hard for my money to have it used to support DINO's.

(11,605 posts)But I have long suspected that they steer money or other covert support to their preferred candidates, many of whom are DINO's, in primaries too to get the candidates they see as most electable. I understand that in some states/districts a DINO may be the best we can do, but that's not where I want my limited funds to go.
I always give to the candidates. Too often the Dem groups give money to very conservative Dems, even when fighting against liberal Dems in primaries.
