It was just twenty dollars, but it was for a great cause. Today (October 25th) is the sixth anniversary of the death of Paul Wellstone. I learned this only two days ago after rereading Al Franken's <em>Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them</em>. Paul was an incomparable patriot and a great Senator and I see no better way to honor his memory than to throw the man who succeeded him an anvil while putting the final nail in his coffin. <br />I gave only $20 and I know times are hard, but if we can all pitch in we can get that filibuster-proof majority we all dream of.</p> rss@dailykos.com (bushwhacked) Al Franken AlFranken MN-Sen PaulWellstone _640398 Sat, 25 Oct 2008 17:42:09 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/30/616168/-Failing-All-Else <p>First, I'm a college freshman in Pennsylvania, I'm originally from Connecticut so there was a bit of a culture shock awaiting me when I arrived here and started making friends. All of them have been supportive of my working for Obama, but only about half of them are actually planning to vote for him. <br />I've been working with them for almost a month now trying everything I can to get them to see the light. I began to despair for most of them, since we're a generally opinionated bunch and none of us are going anywhere with most of our beliefs.</p> rss@dailykos.com (bushwhacked) Barack Obama BarackObama College Pennsylvania third parties thirdparties _616168 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 03:05:08 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/7/590589/-Israel-Syria-and-the-Presidential-Election <p>This is my first diary, so please, mercy?</p> <p>I was traveling through the internet earlier today when I came across a <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/09/syria_makes_peace_proposal_to.php">AP story</a> at TPM that talked about a peace proposal by Syria to Israel as a basis for direct negotiations.</p> rss@dailykos.com (bushwhacked) Israel mcCain MiddleEast Obama Peace Presidency Syria _590589 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:09:32 +0000
