re: #51 Anymouse

So, in reference to your summary of GOP obstructionism and how Democrats need to get out and challenge as many government seats as possible:

How many people here will vow today to prepare to run for office (dogcatcher, city council, cemetery board, school board, name it). I’m betting close to zero.

LGF has thousands of members. How many are elected to any position at all besides me, in uber-red Western Nebraska?

I take offense to your comment. Why should anyone/everyone vow to you to anyway?

I’m 62 heading for 63. I’m not about to launch a career in politics with all the other things I have to do like finish the old house I own that is my retirement. And I also have goals as an artist and musician.

There are other ways to support politics than running for office. I plan on doing those things too.

Also, I live in a city of close to a million people. It would be very tough to get a start and have any recognition now. It is quite different that living in a village of a few hundred.
