The Alabama Democratic Party: "We're broke, broke, broke."
Birmingham News ^ | May 12, 2013 | Charles J. Dean

Posted on 05/12/2013 9:49:37 AM PDT by Zakeet

Acting state Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy Worley lowered her head and slowly shook it side to side when summing up the financial condition of her once powerful party.

"We're broke, broke, broke," Worley told the party's Executive Board in a special called meeting Frida.

How broke is broke? Worley didn't sugar coat the answer.

"This is my 18th day as chair and thirty minutes after I took over on April 22nd the landlord of the building where our party headquarters are came in and said he wanted us out, that the rent was overdue and was always overdue," said Worley.

Next came the water company with a message, said Worley: pay up by the next day or we're cutting off the water. Next came the same warning from Alabama Power. Next came news from banks that party credit cards had been maxed out and were now cancelled.

"I didn't even know where the checkbook was, not that it would have made much difference," said Worley.

Worley said she dealt with each demand for back payments the same way.

"I begged them to give me a few more days, that I had just taken over the job and needed a little time" said Worley. "I have never done that much begging in my life."

We ran our state Democrat party just like we run the country ... and guess what happened! So how about you nice Freepers sending us some cash so we can continue advancing our agenda?

Have they thought about printing more money? Doesn’t that always work?

Sadly, I find that my eyes are dry of tears. FYI, I think that woman ate what money was left.

Their financial problems are the least of their brokenness; indeed, their financial problems are the result of their moral brokenness.

Several weeks ago I read an article about a dem starting a new dem party. Wonder if he knew about this. Of course, he did. I also wonder if the libs who post on al.com donate to their party.

Silly woman! All she has to do is contact the Chinese or SA and they will send all the money (in amounts under $100) in ficticious names.

The dems will be rolling in cash in no time.

(and NO, I’m not being sarcastic.)

Sheesh, I am sure they have better looking women in AL in the RAT party.

But then again, she shows the true face of the party.

Hasn’t there been some kind of ‘under breath’ moaning and groaning because BO is STILL out running fund raisers and sucking the money away from the party?

If these people ever ‘wake up’ BO will be in a heap of feces.

But I don’t see that happening anytime soon, they still think Jimmy Carter and Willy Clinton were GREAT.

What a GREAT idea! He should make it even further left, with open use of the hammer and sickle and Karl Marx's image. I'm sure they'd fare even better than the current Democrat Party if they would just tell the people who they really are.
