An I will not vote in the 2010 midterms. I voted for democrats my whole life, even after they gave us DADT and DOMA. But now that they are in power again, they refuse to take them off the books! They didn’t listen to my support, votes, or protests – NOW THEY ARE GOING TO HEAR MY VOTE.

However, yet again I must observe how naive we are. Kaine, not a supporter. Obama, not a supporter. Sure, a few recent flip flops but the record is really quite clear: the main stream leaders of the party DO NOT support equality. They have said it, their websites say it, they have run on it.

Why are we dissapointed when they have told us they do not support us?

I’ve never given the Dems money..actually I don’t give any politicians money. Money corrupts the system and allows them to continue to the farce that voters should get information from TV ads.

Stop giving them the money and vote libertarian. Sure, they are a little kooky (I’m dissapointed so many support the tea baggers which are just misplaced angry bigots, not true conservatives or libertarians) but generally support equality.

In Mass our libertarian senate candidate supports full equality for everyone, he even mentions transgendered.

Unfortunatley he was raised by lutheran nut cases, so he thinks marriage is religious and we should totally get out of the business. They are not perfect but they understand the government should not be opining about relationship appropriateness.

And, they truly believe it, as a fundamental principal of limited government.

You trust the HRC far more than I. I’m sure those millions would pay for some serious brunching and hobnobing with the pols.

A friend of ours used to have great success at yard sales by dangling cash in front of the person doing the selling. It was an offer far less than the asking price, but the theory was that money within sight and grasp was just too hard for someone to say no to. Needless to say, he was quite a successful tag-sale shopper.

What if we did the same thing? What if we all continued our donations, but we made them to, say, the HRC or some other gay organization, who would keep the money in an account. Then, based on the number of our agenda items the Democrats passed, they would be entitled to get a percentage of the slush fund. 10% for a bad year…50% for an OK year…100% if they met all of our performance goals.

I’m sure there are tons of legal issues with the idea, but isn’t it delicious?! “Hey, you guys, we have millions sitting in this account. All we’re waiting for now is marriage equality across all 50 states, an end to DADT, end to DOMA, and so on. Up your performance, and then you’ll see the cash.”

I still get almost daily requests for contributions, but my wallet is closed.

I stopped giving after the Maine Equality vote when our turncoat Attorney General, with the approval of his President (no longer mine) argued once again for DOMA, only days before the Maine vote. His arguments gave support and succor to the bigots who want to punish gays at any cost.

I wrote an eMail to Tim Kaine and a variety of other Democrats telling them my ATM is now closed unless someone in the Party grows the balls to act on their lying promises. They lie to get our vote, and then figure we’ll vote for them again because there won’t be a viable alternative.

Wrong. The 1994 takeover of Congress by Republicans happened not because of their support, but because Democrats stayed home.

Which is something I intend to do unless I see some pretty radical action on our issues between now and next November.

Not a cent from me to a Democrat (or Republican). I won’t support the liars again.
