Yep. I've seen them outside South Station and in front of the Sam Adams statue at Faneuil Hall. Poor Sam Adams . . . he's probably done a 180 in his grave by now.
I asked one---"I'm curious. You know Kerry's going to win Massachusetts going away. Why spend money drumming up support for him here?"
"We're signing up people who want to donate money we can use in swing states," she told me. So that's the game plan: ship Massachusetts/New England money to the swing states. As far as I can tell, they're not having much success. We yankees are tightwads.
they also are drafting people to help canvass NH with their propaganda
@#$% KErry could never stand him
More importantly, remember that leftists are generous, but only with other peoples' money. When they have to donate themselves, they get stingy pretty quickly.
I had this conversation with someone who was a big supporter of government funding of public TV and "the arts." My question was, "If it's so important to you, why don't YOU pay for it, and don't ask me to do contribute." Her response was that "it would enrich your life." I countered with, "I don't watch public TV, or go to the art galleries." She with, "well, you might decide to someday."
I ended the conversation with, "Then why don't you give me $20. I need it for gas money. After all, someday, you might need me to drive you somewhere!"
