Just got off the phone with ANOTHER Democratic fundraiser and volunteer co-ordinator. Those people do keep callin'--and they seem terribly SHOCKED when I tell them, politely (can't do it real calmly yet), that I am not going to be working or helping out or contributing to the Democratic Party this year because of the vote stealing.
This last guy--I'm going to out him, it was "Mike"--actually had the gall to ask me WHAT I MEANT ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE STEALING. And WHO exactly stole the vote? I politely explained the whole thing in detail, on the off chance that he was an Obama newbie who really didn't know. The Obama callers have been pleasantly untelemarketer-like but amazingly uninformed about Obama's positions--as are their supervisors because they go ask them. And what do they say (all together now): GO READ THE WEBSITE!
Later on in the conversation, Mike admitted that MANY people had been complaining to him about this. So, the asking part was just an attempt to DOWNPLAY the vote stealing, no? Anyway, Mike said he was just helping to organize volunteers for a Senator (who has been shockingly disloyal to Hillary and Bill Clinton because of their very recent fundraising, political and longterm personal connections)BUT I didn't even go there. I said our Senator had not stood up and said the vote stealing was wrong. I said, he doesn't run the committee and he's not on the RBC, I know. But he could have said it was wrong and stood up for Democracy. What is there before the vote? Nothing, because if we don't have ANY vote--even in this our great REPUBLIC, yeah I get that--if we don't have any vote, we don't have a Democracy.
