but I don't live here and feel the need to post 24/7.
As far as being a 'newbie', the first campaign I ever worked on was for George McGovern. It was also the first election I was able to vote in as well. When I turned 18, the voting age was still 21. Our generation changed that. I had to serve in the military for 3 years before I was able to vote. I didn't want to be in the military, but when I was 18 there was a draft going on, you may have heard of it. Our generation changed that too.
I've seen a hell of a lot of shit go down for a 'newbie' like myself.
Have a nice day, "King C"

Nope. I'm more resolved than ever. For me, it's time to f*ck with the ratf*ckers.

I agree. This could be very bad for republicans. They have a horrible mess on their hands and it is.
