I don't give to political parties.

I'm registered as a Democrat. And I'm subscribed to a number of Democratic email lists. And all of them are urging me to chip in at least $3 to help counter the spending the Republicans have done in this past year.
Why do they think that their solution is to get money to power their counter-propaganda machine? Are the American people really that stupid and gullible that they'll fall for the Republican fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) that the GOP propaganda machine has been generating and churning out the past several months? Or are the American people too lazy or busy to make up their own minds? I'd like to think that they aren't.
My answer to the Democrats has been, and continues to be, "no". I'm unemployed again [well, I was at the time I originally wrote this], and I shouldn't be spending my money frivolously. And if I wasn't employed, I still wouldn't give to them. I just don't give to political parties, period. To me, it's a waste of my money.
