Several weeks ago, a couple of MoveOn droids showed up at my door to "take
a survey". I told them that yes, I was a registered republican, and that
yes, I was voting for Kerry, so fuck off.
Last week, while I was away, they came back to "check that [my wife] was
still planning to vote for Kerry".
Today, after two hours in line, after braving the lawyers with the
republican stickers hovering over the line, and challenging voters who
Seem A Little Dark For This Part Of Town, and casting my vote for the guy
I hate the least [Kerry], we were walking to the car and were again
accosted by a couple of *very pushy* MoveOn droids:
"Sir! Sir! Have you voted?"
"Yes. Go away."
"Sir! Wait a minute! Have you been contacted by your MoveOn
representative yet?" (as he tries to physically insert himself between me
and the street)
"Yes. Too many fucking times: get out of my fucking way!"
First of all, while I appreciate their willingness to help throw the angry
little midget fuck in the whitehouse out on his ass, they are alienating
people. I *guarantee* the sight of me fighting off the MoveOn people made
a mental impression on the hundred plus people on line.
Second, I signed up to drive folks to the polls today for a few hours,
*with* MoveOn. I also came very close to saying fuckit - these assholes
need an IMMEDIATE attitude adjustment, or they are going to help turn the
vote *away* from their supposed goal.
