I am now calling out John Kerry. You are a cheater. I have been working for the Dean campaign for over a year. I was depressed by what happened in Iowa and NH, but I thought that all the accounts of push-polling and fake early morning Dean calls couldn't be true. I've changed my mind.
We have about forty people at Dean HQ in Seattle this evening. Five of us have been robo-called by John Kerry tonight. I was robo-called on my cell phone. My cell phone number is not in the phone book. It's not in the voter file. No one has it. The only place you could get my cell phone number is through our supporter list. Someone from the Kerry campaign is digging through our lists of supporters and pulling out their phone numbers.
Fuck you John Kerry. I will no longer vote for you... not even in November. I'm sorry you can't get your own damn supporters without pillaging our lists. I have worked my ass off walking all over Seattle for over a year, doorbelling and cold-calling people, to put together that list of names. I have a job, a wife, and other interests that I have sacrificed to my commitment to Howard Dean's campaign. You have voided all of my hard work with theivery and the boring sound of your recorded voice. Again: Fuck you. I actually find this to be an instructive allegory of your political career.
Your candidacy is based on the same sort of lies and misinformation that made GW Bush popular. How do you like the sound of Howard Dean's stump speach coming out of your mouth? How does it feel to say that you have battled special interests in Washington despite having taken more money from them than any other senator in the past 15 years? You have reached "frontrunner" status by mortgaging your house and garnering opportunistic media coverage. Good for you. You really do know how to be a slime-ball. All those unproductive years in Washington have clearly taught you something. I hope it serves you well. Before the war vote, you were my favorite Senator. I looked forward to seeing you make your case for the presidency. Now, I think you are lower than dirt. Do I sound pissed off? Good. I am.
And don't call me again. By the way, we are keeping track of this up here. We are going to report this shit. We'll see if anyone cares. But, they will find out about this.
