Reply #46: Then it's up to them via their telemarketers to tell us that they're

supporting Feingold. They guy who called me indicated the opposite.

And, no - not all of us make it a point to keep up with everything the DNC is doing these days.
Some of us have lives outside of the daily activities of the DNC. Some of us keep up with
politics to the best of our abilities in the time we have available to do so.
If the DNC sends me a solicitation via snail mail, I will look it over and donate or not based on
what it says. In the case of a telemarketer, they need to provide the info on the spot.

I have donated to the DNC in the past. If what you're saying is true, then all the
solicitor had to say today was "but sir, the DNC has been out in front supporting Russ Feingold."
I would have learned something new and most likely donated. But their telemarketer didn't
do that. He railed on Feingold (and me by extension) as being on the fringe.

So, there are two big problems here. The first is that the DNC is utilizing people as phone reps
who seem more interested in arguing their personal political beliefs with potential donors more than they are
interested in securing a donation. Second - and this is probably worse - the DNC is not
equipping their phone reps with information that accurately reflects the position of the DNC!

So, there ya go.
