Poll question: What's YOUR Excuse? What Did YOU Spend the Past 4 Years Doing?
That's right. I'm calling YOU out, with love and affection, fellow DUer.

:hug:

What did YOU spend the majority of your spare time doing since 2004, to help ensure a progressive in the White House, come January 20, 2009?

Inquiring primary voters wanna know.

1. Talk talk talk
Tried my damndest to talk up progressive values to friends and family. The family isn't hard to convince, after all, the parents raised me and taught us progressive values, but some friends and/or co-workers were and are tough nuts to crack. I have given up on a few of them. And my "excuse" for not doing more? It's called survival. I need to work so I can afford housing, clothing, groceries, gas, etc. etc. So that doesn't leave a lot of time for other things.

3. That's Not How I Spent MOST of My Time...
... but mine got changed here, too. I no longer support the candidate I did a year ago.

4. If
If we had clean elections we'd have progressives running government.

As it stands, we don't have either.

And we never will if we don't have clean elections. The rest is all pissing in the wind if we don't.
