Reply #79: And I'm getting really sick and fucking tired

[Bouncy Ball]

of people supposedly on my own side telling me what to say and how to say it.

I've lived in a red state my whole life and bit my tongue for most of it.

I was the good girl (though passionate) through the 2002 and 2004 election cycles and I did persuade plenty of former bush voters to vote for Kerry (a few opted to simply stay home). So thanks, I've been pretty clued in on how to frame things for a while.

But I no longer have a candidate to "act good" for. And I'm pissed. And if the right can't handle it, it just proves they can dish it out but they can't take it.
