I've been carrying the water for the local Grand Old Party apparatchik for 10 years now (working phone banks, get-out-the-vote phone trees, planting yard signs, playing sound engineer at debates and press conferences, poll watching, etc.), and they've never bought me so much as a cup of coffee. (That's a lie - I did get a free Coke once that somebody couldn't get to fall out of a soda machine). Rotsa ruck finding the cancelled checks for the purchase of FR by THOSE cheapskates.
Hehehehehe...
Dittoes to all the GOP carrying water, yard signs, stuffing flyers, phone bank stuff, but I'm mad -- I never got ANYTHING from them except a lot of pleas for money from ME! (and satisfaction every time we actually elected a candidate who kept his/her promises.)
Ain't that the truth! :)
