I just finished my message for today and return to read my email.  Immediately, I focused on a second message from the Democratic Party.  This time it was from Vice President Biden and it whines about how Republicans have more money to spend on the election than Democrats.  Read it for yourselves:

to me
Donna --

The pundits and talking heads are talking about how badly we're being outraised by the other side. You've heard it from us, too.

Three months in a row, Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have trounced our fundraising totals. And, along with allied outside groups, they're using that cash to try to obliterate our side on the airwaves, outspending us in some battleground states by margins of up to three to one.

The pundits are saying this is how we could lose the election. You know what I say?

When you get knocked down, get up. There's no quit in America. There's nothing we can't do.

This week isn't just the Republican National Convention -- it's also the biggest fundraising deadline this campaign has seen, and one of the last. President Obama and I are counting on you.

Please make a donation of $3 or more today:

We've been counted out more than a few times before. It's all on us to prove them wrong again.

Thanks,

Joe

P.S. -- I've seen a lot of good campaigns -- with smart, strong candidates and bold visions for the change we need -- go down, simply because they couldn't keep up. Don't let this campaign be one of them. Donate today.

Am I the only one who thinks the Vice President and other Democrats have begun to sound like a bunch of whiners?  It amazes me how and why Democrats are want to moan about how much less money they are raising for the election while Republicans are raising as much as three times more.  If I were still a Democrat, which thankfully, I am not, I would suggest to stop wasting time complaining and give the voters a reason to donate.

If Democrats had focused on unemployment and the economy, today they would be whining about their inability to raise enough donations.  Americans have always voted two ways: with ballots and with wallets.  In my opinion, Democrats are experiencing the effects of the American wallet vote, and they have no one but themselves to blame for a lack of donations.   Perhaps, if they had spent as much time fixing the job market and economy, people would have had the $3.00 requested as a donation to the Democratic Party!

Every time I receive an email from a Democrat asking me to donate $3.00 or more and whining about the funds being raised by Republicans I want to laugh.  I am also hopeful that the wallet vote is a precursor of November's elections.  Of course, if I am right, I imagine the morning after the election we will hear Democrats complaining they lost because they could not raise enough money.
