Democracy for America

There is another blogger in town that suggests that an endorsement from this group is as worthless as the paper on which it is written.

What is Democracy for America?
Democracy for America (DFA) was founded on the idea that the grassroots are the key to the Democratic Party’s success. For too long party leaders were beholden only to moneyed interests and high-powered consultants. The closer the Democratic Party aligned itself with Washington insiders, the further rank and file Democrats wandered from the polls on Election Day. Governor Howard Dean’s presidential campaign re-energized the grassroots by tapping into the progressive values that they cared about: strong communities, security at home and abroad, and liberty for all people to live the way they chose. Democracy for America was founded by Gov. Dean and built by those energized activists to help reform the Democratic Party from the ground up.  Democracy for America

Ok.  We have the background of Democracy for America. Why then do we have TOB, using his acronym for me, who mocks this endorsement?  Is it simply the fact that Ryan Maier received it and not his candidate?  Maier is a grassroots campaigner.  There is no money received into his campaign from Sun Recycling or anyone else with an agenda.

This same group endorsed and worked for Obama in 2007. What would GB say about them?

This is NOT about George Bush. Progressives are always liberals and/or Democrats.

Lynn, GB/Glenn Beck. Not George Bush.

How come on this thread, on your home page there is no "Comment Up" below this one? You don't want your readers to really know who and what kind of candidates this organization endorses? You're pretty safe now since this is almost on your older post section.

I do NOT appreciate your accusation, anonymous. I don't always notice when people comment and I do miss a blog now and then as it does not come up automatically. ok.
I might discontinue notifying that comments have been made on any blog...will save me a lot of time.
