Why are you inside, at a computer, reading this stupid diary? Every day, every hour you are in here reading this, there is one less Obama voter out there for us to have a mandate. You lazy dirty America hating, troop shunning, hippy, don't you realize the consequences of your actions? First and foremost, every hour you are not knocking on doors, you are making this baby cry.
Don't make Obama baby cry.
Secondly, every second you aren't knocking on a door, that's one less opportunity to get 60 senators. I'm talking to you KY and GA Kossacks.
We could have a disappointing result like this.
OR
We could have a non disappointing result like this.
Now that may be a little optimistic (maybe insanely so), but the point is, every voter out there that you reach out to is one more vote towards a 60 seat senate, and ads to the embarrassing shame inducing shellacking of the GOP and John McCain. An absolute rejection of all their ideas and policies. We have the opportunity to push the meme that McCain is absolutely screwed, depressing the GOP vote even further than it will already be. The more this seems like a win, the less likely McCain's supporters will think voting will make a difference.
This is our opportunity to reverse 8 years of impropriety, corruption, aggression, war, greed, and Bush's every man for himself attitude. This is our opportunity for us to make positive changes for our country and the world. This Tuesday is our chance to improve Education, The Environment, Voters Rights, Freedom of Speech, The Court System, Congress, The Senate, Women's Rights, Foreign Policy, Technology, The Military, The Healthcare System, Immigration, Civil Rights, homeland Security, Government Infrastructure, and Iraq. This election can't be a simple 50+1 majority, it has to be a shellacking that makes people understand that fundamental changes have to happen in this country. It needs to an absolute rejection of Bush, McCain and the entire Republican movement.
You can make calls from home, or you can go knock on doors. But you absolutely need to take an hour, 6 hours, a day, 2 days, to make a difference and close this deal in knockout fashion.
I'm in a Regional Get Out the Vote office, printing canvas packets all day. I'll be doing it Sunday and Monday too. Then I'm going to a polling place and acting as a poll watcher to make sure no one loses their vote. I won't stop until the polls are closed.
If a lazy, crappy diary writing bastard like me can do that for 3 days out of my life, you can give an hour. Your family will be there when you get back, they'll have you the other 361 days this year. Cancel whatever you are doing, and help finish this thing once and for all. An hour, a day, 4 days, whatever you can give.
Go on, click this link. Take a chance. Make Obama Baby smile.
I'll leave you with the words of Teddy Roosevelt.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Don't come back to Kos until this thing is done. I want to see record low traffic at this site until Tuesday afternoon. That's an order.
Get in the arena.
Post in the comments what you are doing these last two days to leave everything on the field.
