So a headline glimpsed through USA Today vending machine said it looks as though tomorrow will be the biggest “wave election” turnover in the House and Senate since the post-Watergate 1974 election.
Some very good progressives are on the verge of being cast out of office. As are some pretty lousy ones. All to be replaced by those who’s ambition is not only to enact the Ten Commandments but also to repeal the Sermon on the Mount and repudiate his sermon at the Last Supper.
They’re viciously committed to at least two relevant policies: First, not just to withhold funding but to actively outlaw all abortion — even in the case of rape and incest (hey, conservatives want grandchildren just like people do.) Second, to make sure that the minute such children are born that they receive no healthcare beyond what the mother can afford.
Just think what a lesson liberal/lefties are going to teach that nasty Barack Obama by sitting this one out!
Or you could do the right thing and not only vote yourself but volunteer in your neighborhood to get out the vote. As I will be doing. For the first time.
The GOTV operations are
Submitted by Sungold (not verified) on Mon, 2010-11-01 22:34.The GOTV operations are actually kind of fun. Much more pleasant that good ole phone-banking. Where you live, it'll probably be a love-fest for the Dems, as it is in my neck of the hills. I went out canvassing yesterday for the first time this cycle, and it was a perfect crisp day, brimming with Democrats who intend to vote for Gov. Strickland – without whom we're up the proverbial creek – that would be the Creek of a Crappy Education. (I have both altruistic and purely selfish reasons for backing Ted.)
I'll be hoping for the best for Patty Murray. Figleaf, I hope your little bit of help pushes her over the top. And if not – well, it's a fine consolation to know you tried.
Will think of you when I'm poll-checking tomorrow! :-)
