And another thing, Please stop making our job of protecting the right to vote that much harder!

You see I work against the right trying to help people vote, because the right works day and night stopping certain people from voting.

Now it seems I have a second front to fight against, alleged liberals who go to liberal message boards and encourage others NOT to vote.

I dont have the resources and time to fight both.

1. How tall is that horse you're riding?

[randys1]

2. Typical, instead of offering to help, you make insults.

I have lots of liberal friends, not ONE of them would say that, they would ask how could they help

all of them

but they are liberals

[hobbit709]

3. I'm not the one making self righteous claims.

[randys1]

4. So every person who works within the party or helps people get to the polls are self righteous?

[hobbit709]

5. No just the ones that accuse others of supporting terrorists because they don't

like your candidate.

6. Some folks confuse passion with self-righteousness, sad for them. I am with you, as Obama said.

13. From your avatar, I'm betting there are many people on Election Day in your

locale who need protection of the franchise. I'd suggest contacting your local Democratic Party....to see how you can help.

14. I already have quite good relations with my local Democratic Party.

It's just when you get this:
"ps

I am so left i have to turn around twice to see something on my right side"

Then I categorize it as self-righteous bs. NONE of the hard core ultra-leftists I know would make a claim like that. I know some that make Trotskyites look conservative.

15. I take your point, but wonder if your ire isn't best spent elsewhere. nt

[hobbit709]

17. Ire?!

I find it comical. But then I find most of life comical. The alternative is to cry yourself into oblivion.

7. As an election monitor and attorney who has worked many campaigns.....

I cannot begin to describe to you the level of contempt and nausea I feel for people who say that they will sit out and not vote this next election.

I have countless Election Day stories about people denied the franchise. people turned away from the polls because of spurious racial reasons.

Telling me you're not going to vote means that you are secure in the privilege of knowing that you would not be denied the polls......and that smacks of elitist privilege more than anything else.

8. Thank you...Plus, the laws put on the books since the pricks on the SC to stop voting, sicken me

since the pricks on the SC tore up the voting rights act etc

[msanthrope]

12. I am disgusted at those who are privileged to have a right...and scorn it. nt

[FSogol]

9. +1 n/t

[randys1]

10. We need more people speaking out about this

[msanthrope]

11. The idea that one would disdain the vote comes from privilege that one has

the vote......and it makes me sick. I vomit in my mouth when the privileged tell me that they will not vote.....I wish the people in the polling places I visit had that privileged person's option.

16. When you work on campaigns in your district you meet the old folks to get the polls

without fail. Voting means something to them and the care every single time, not just when it is fashionable to jump on a bandwagon.

Anyone who does not vote or works to suppress the vote has no business on a Democratic web forum.
