Boris, et al:
Here are a few thoughts:
1st – If we wait until the 2012 election season to get active again, then we are certain to lose. GOTV efforts should have started this month.
2nd – Justice was appropriately delivered to UBL a few weeks ago. Efforts to unseat the sitting administration just got VERY difficult. GOTV is now MISSION CRITICAL, not just important.
3rd – I grow weary of the “hangers on”, the “wave riders”, the “passionately ignorant”, the “wait and seers”, the “oh it’s difficult, or that might disrupt my little comfortable world folks” AND ALL others that are content to sit around and move nothing but their lips. Running your mouth does little but feed plants.
4th – If you can’t go the distance, you are in the wrong class in this race. Go back to the registration desk and look for “Bench warmer” or “Whining Decathlon” or “Hot air balloon filler” races.
I guess that I risk offending some folks with my rhetoric. I am watching 2012 play out long before the election and it seems that most folks are just ducky watching it go by.
If I have violated the code of good taste for this board, then I will certainly remove myself from it and the group. I am headed in a direction of permanent common sense reform at every level of government. I don’t have time to waste on making folks feel good about their lukewarm efforts and protecting fragile egos.
People, waiting for someone else to make things happen is what got us into this mess.
Years ago, I learned a phrase that may help classify your thoughts on what I wrote. “A hit dog will holler.”
