In reply to the discussion: A Major Democratic Donor Is Reconsidering Support For Senators Who Pushed For Al Franken's... [View all]DFW
(54,684 posts)I agree. My problem is that if our fellow Democrats in the Senate are willing to be like this to one of our strongest voices in the Senate, how sincere are they in seeking to stand up for the rest of us nameless peons?
I will absolutely and without hesitation support our nominees in the General in November. We do need to take back at least one house of Congress. But of those that call for contributions who participated in Al Franken's hounding out of the Senate--they will have to leave a message (they always do that anyway), which I won't hear until I'm back in the USA in August and get stuck in the Dallas office with two and a half hours' worth of emails to listen to. I don't have the time to call them all from Europe, and as a Texas voter, their staff won't care what I have to say anyway. I never identify myself as a contributor, as I don't believe that money is a reason to pay more attention to one caller over another.
I will forgive because I have to, and the offending Senators still MIGHT make great contributions.
I will never forget, however. Never.
