WHITE NOISE INSANITY

Politicians…don’t piss down our backs and then tell us it’s raining!

I’m canvassing neighborhoods today with fellow Democrats…

…so I’ll be gone for a few hours this morning…well…until the weather holds out. Looks like it might rain today. Bummer!

Christy Harden Smith posted a thread on FireDogLake recently asking, “In Need of Motivation?”, and she included the following video:

I can’t express enough how wonderful it is to be working alongside the Democrats in my town and region. They’re all great people and this year is fantastic because a lot more younger people are participating….and we have YOU-KNOW-WHO to thank for that! Barack Obama is truly a light for the Democratic Party right now. On Thursday evening when I met with the other Obama delegates/alternates, there was one REALLY old woman who was there. This woman has the energy of a 25 year old and the humor & sarcasm of a Mainah that is addicting! Loved her. Hey, if this woman could participate at her age, how about you? :-)

A month or so ago, my local Democrats and I did some cold calling to party members in the area to get a feel on who they’ll be supporting locally. I made a couple of calls (which was so much fun! Most people are happy to talk with you…remember that), but mainly, my job was to enter in the information received after each call into the Democrat’s state database. You wouldn’t think doing data entry is a big deal, but honestly it is, because the Party as a whole likes having a snapshot of what people are thinking and feeling. Anyways, I got a card from the Maine Democratic Party Regional Director for Oxford & Franklin counties (she’s in her 20’s and is extremely organized and so far has done a dynamic job of keeping everyone going forward!), and here’s what she said to me:

Dear Kay,
>
Thanks so much for your help at the phone bank in Norway. We made some of the first calls of a coordinated campaign in the country! A great start!
>
We are going to keep up the great work that you helped start and win these races.
>
Thanks again,
>
Michelle

Can you believe that? We were some of the few in the country who had gotten started! And who do we thank besides ourselves? Ms. Michelle, her youthfulness, and her tenacity to keep the “whip” clearly visible! (Just kidding…she doesn’t need a whip. When you’re with her, you want to help her. She has that kind of personality)

Anyways, what I’m trying to say is doing something as simple as data entry for your local party is VALUABLE. Get involved! I’ve never canvassed neighborhoods before and today will be the first time, but I made a promise to myself last year and the beginning of this year that I would help out to try to make a difference whether it’s for local, state, or national races and to help in some small way in making the Maine Democratic Party more stronger than it was before!

It doesn’t take a lot of effort. You’ll have people with you who might also be feeling anxiety doing new things, but that’s okay, you’ll have each other to lean on. See? Just like family & friends. :-)

Get involved! Go Obama!!!!

    I love it when Dhimmicrat maggots come to my house with petitions. I pull out my Uzi and ask “do I look like a registered Dhimmicrat?”

    One mincing fairy actually pissed his pants! :lol:

    Good times! :mrgreen:

    Fox News has just reported that Fat Teddy Kennedy has apparently had a serious stroke

    If he kicks I wonder if NBC will replay “The Office” where Steve Carell drives his new car into the lake. I-RON-IC! :mrgreen:

    Wow, I see one of the “more mature” Bush/Susan Collins supporter is here. Let me guess, you sat around today masturbating to John McCain’s picture, huh neocon? Isn’t that right?

    All you neocons are useless human beings, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you did! And let me guess again…tomorrow you and your neocon friends will sit around ripping up the US Constitution because you hate it so much? Maybe wrap yourself in the flag to desecrate it? I bet! Bah hahahahahaha! Losers.

    And your comment as #6? Hysterical! Let me guess, you stuck your tongue out and then grabbed your marbles (or bearings) off the floor to go home and tell your daddy!

    Ox,

    Kay. Your blog doesn’t need such spamming from an idiot bigot. BAN HIM! He isn’t bringing any intelligent talk to the table. I know you often leave up the troll’s “droppings” in order to reveal to sane and intelligent folks the mindset of the knuckle-dragging TROLLS, but remember this blog is your home and nobody deserves to come in and crap in the middle of your house.

    He’s been banned until he changes his IP address again, Grant. The trolls are on fire because John McCrazy is insane, Tom Allen is doing great, and the GOP is pretty much dead like a dried up frog on the side of the road. It’s a great time for us, but for the trolls….it’s a very desperate time!

    And Grant, you meant to say, “Crap in the backseat of the WNI limo”, right? LOL I know! They have no manners. No one who supports the GOP does. ;-)

    I hope you mentioned Tom Allen when you talked to people :)
