I am now certain on what to do when the Democratic fundraisers call my house
I shall treat them as I did with the solictors for money prior to Jay Nixon's "no call list" in Missouri.

I will bang the telephone against the tabletop at least three times prior to hanging up.

11. yanno, I am very unhappy with both the front runners but as has been said
many times, they are better than the alternative (McCain, Romney or Huckleberry)

we have a chance of turning the New Mexico congressional delegation from 3 Rs and 2 Ds to 5 Dems.

it's worth my time and effort

12. I didn't say the dems won't have my local vote
Kay Barnes will hopefully beat the shit out of Sam "shit for brains" Graves, but no more money, no more time, no more of my real concern - it shall be the "game" and when the "game" is over and the country is DEAD - I shall know that the corporations and those that enabled them sucked the heart out of the Democratic Party.

6. no shit! I plan on giving the Dems every dollar I can spare between now and Nov.
in addition to 5-10 hours a week of my time.

I'm going to the County Party mtg tonight to meet with both BHO and HRC operatives and to meet some of the 'down ticket' candidates

at this point any Dem beats any Repuke and shame on the OP for saying otherwise :spank:

21. that logic
That is the same logic used by the right wingers to smash down criticism of the government when they say "love it or leave it."

There is no possible way to effectively fight the right wingers if we are doing the same things.

4. Why break your phone? Buy a whistle or one of those boat
horns that works on compressed air.

9. Lou Dobbs is the only thing stopping me from re-registering Independent,
now that CNN is quietly co-opting the independent identity as their own. The majority of voters are now Independent, and they're not all in the middle. They also come from the bases of both parties, people who don't have a lot in common in some ways, but share their dismay that the parties and the government aren't responsive to the people.

19. Yes we did, UIA. Hope junkies, all strung out. The hits aren't working any more.
Seeing all this Obama hope-hype makes me feel like I'm on skid-row. I hope the kids enjoy themselves. I hope they have more success fixing this mess than we did. See you in the SMW!

18. I have never been on their donor list and they never call here
that they don't get their ears full of what I have to say to them.

50 years - I have been working for campaigns, writing, giving rides to the polls, marching in the streets, recruiting, everything that has been asked and more -

now how more of my blood, sweat and tears do you want?

22. Use an answering machine or voice mail
and don't bother answering at all, that's what I do. :think:
