Another reason the Democrats are Retarded

Reading over Jakob Nielsen's article about usability of campaign newsletters in the last week of the Presidential election is extremely telling. Bush and the Republicans focused their efforts on mobilizing thier supporters and getting them to contact like minded friends and neigbors out to vote. Now in my opinion, this is a sad excuse for a field program as there is no way to make sure the calls are being made and doors are being knocked. However, my harshest words are reserved for Kerry and the Democrats. In the last week of the election, 57 goddamn fucking percent of their e-newsletters were solicitations for raising more money. What in god's holy hell were they raising money for in the last week of the campaign? Didn't they have public financing? No fucking wonder your supporters don't want to open your goddamn emails! With a week to go, the time for fundraising is over, its time for Get your ass out to vote.

With 57% of their e-communcation in the last week being about fundraising they must have needed the money pretty bad. So wonderful that they had millions of dollars left in the account after election day? Just fucking brilliant. No wonder we can't win a goddamn election in this country. Why do we vote for these assholes again? Is this seriously the best America can do to stand up to the Republicans. God help us

It's ironic that Kerry continued to solicit funds during a critical time for his campaign, especially since he had a surplus of funds at the end of the race. According to a USA Today article from 11/17/2004, he had over $15MM in surplus, much of which was needed by other Democrats.
