I Need a Fulltime Job Being an Activist
Since I come here and repost all over the net for our common cause, I wish to do what I do fulltime, but can't afford it. If only I could make a living in politics I would.

3. I've been doing it for almost five years, and I'm worn out.

I couldn't really afford it, but I've been doing it anyway. I thought it was more important. I'm thinking today that I wasted those five years of my life. Thank you, Mr. Biden and the rest of your spineless ilk. Fucking thanks a lot. My kids and someday-grandkids thank you, too. I'll recommend they stay far from the democratic party, who doesn't have the nads of a gnat to stand up for them.

7. Odd you mention that...

....my son turned 18 last month, yesterday we talking about registering to vote....I gave him my opinion. I told him don't register Democratic, he was stunned. My advice to him.... register Independent.

Cheers!

6. if you want to make money at politics, become a republican
hey, we could use a spy.

take their money, freep a few meaningless polls, sabotage their more dangerous plans, donate to du, and report back what they're really up to.

:evilgrin:
