First campaign I'd worked much on ever, beyond signing up everyone I knew to vote that wasn't registered (been doing that for yrs and yrs). Mr.bush and his evil minions scare the crap out of me, for the world, my personal and family life. So I started working for the Kerryites and soon came to believe that he would be a very good man for the job, not just able to beat Mr.bush. 16 yr old son was also busy campaigning, so this was a good thing to both work on. Tues-election day manning (womaning?) the phones, getting more optimistic as the day went on, there was hope, good hope! Wed morning woke to the concessions speech-they fucking did it again! Went to work briefly and had to leave.

I can't say I wan't highly disappointed and hurt and all that because I was. However, I do believe Mr. Kerry is a good and honest politician (as good and honest as they can be) and is really trying to make a positive difference and I have again supported him wholeheartedly and really appreciate the man and everything he stands for and all the people who have rallied around this last yr.

I was the one that had that odd poll last wk in GD about DUers behavior (seeing/hearing Kerry without ranting negatively) as I wanted to see what the vote would be, and try to keep the misunderstanding people on track with my purpose (behavior, not feelings or thoughts). I figured the ones who couldn't restrain themselves would flame me, but wanted to see if others noticed this behavior about themselves. It was my first try at a real poll (vs lounge).

So much for my political doings and thoughts recently. Personally, a 17 yr old (17 tomorow, happy birthday to him and me), several cats and other beasties, husband, sick sense of dark humor, working in health care, spending too much time on DU. I love wordplay. puns, etc and need to go to bed soon rather than writing my long history here for the world to see except I have 10 16-17 yr olds over for movies. Oh well. Thanks for reading the rambling stuff and for welcoming me to the kerryboard part.
