I am a lurker for the last several years here. I have written a half dozen diaries or so, some bad, some ok. I made the rec list once. I have given once to Obama.
Now I just signed up to give monthly to Obama. Probably a little more than I should. I just finally had to.
Here are my reasons.
roll over beethoven
1.I have been involved. I was a delegate to our county convention. I want to keep doing something.
2.I want to be able to embarass my friends into donating.
3.I live in Texas, and when I saw that photo of Phil Gramm standing behind McCain, I got that little vomity taste in the back of my throat.
4.I live in Texas, and if bushbaby comes home, (I hope he goes to his ranch in Paraguay), I at least want that shudderingly terrible occurance to be balanced of with sweetness in D.C.
5.If McCrap wins, I will wish I had done more.
6.My money will soon be worthless, so I better spend it now, and my therapist says that I shouldn't be buying porn, and my wife would like that less than giving it to save the country.
7.My health is slowly deteriorating, and reforming health care is important to me.
8.Obama! Obama! Obama!
9.I am a Mormon, and while I like my church, it is way too conservative for me, and I need to express my contrariness to the Republicanism of my fellow Mormons.
10.I love America, and those fucks have fucked it up so fuckingly fucking badly, that I never want to see any one fuckingly similar to those bushcheneyfucks in the White house again. And Mormons aren't supposed to swear, but when it comes to that stupid fuck bush, fuck it.
11.I love the world, my foreign friends, my american neighbors, and my family. And I love myself. And gosh darn it, I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and people like me. And so I just have to or all these people that I love will be in worse shape if Obama doesn't win.
12.I want my conservative firefighter workmates and friends to have their heads explode on November 4th.
13.I love all kinds of pie.
14.I am obsessed with Daily Kos, and I have seen the light.
15.I helped deliver a baby today, and I owe it to the kid to make the world a better place, not a craooier one.
16.Add yours.
