    Dribble out the dollars

    Anyone that wants to see progress, (those few who have the dollars) ought to say something to the effect of: "I have $1,000 to give to the party. When I see that you've fired or publicly reprimanded the DOJ lawyer who compared gay people to pedophiles, I'll donate the next $100. When you sign the passed legislation, I'll donate the rest. If you reach actual miles stones, I'll donate money, but until that time, words don't cut it.. If you don't come across at all, the money goes to the ACLU."

    There's a difference between a lack of action, and active hostility. Obama's says pretty words while he fucks over the people that worked to get him elected. Save your donuts for other fools.
