Nov 2014

decided he was never going to vote again, "because they're all alike" - to vote Democratic.

"If you're not into the business of politics, it will be into your business soon..." and so forth. You can reach young people if you'd take two fucking seconds to listen to their point of view and stop judging them.

If you take the time to understand their lives so you can explain to them how the philosophies of the opposing politicians will affect their lives, you can get them to the polls.

"Damn fucking liberals. They come to this here Democratic Mainstream site ( not "underground" by any means any more, I can feel it in me bones that there are shudders from many DUers for my typing "fucking" right out there in the open like that) "spoutin' all that durn radical librull nonsense!"

"Them durn stoner librulls in this party ruin elections!"

Well I went to the polls to ruin it for you Centrists.

Don't you just hate that?

So tomorrow you can blame ME because YOU have no clue how to reach the voters for mid-terms.
