That was fucking GREAT! Tears rolled down my cheeks. And if this country can't elect THAT guy,

[codjh9]

then it deserves to go down the f-ing tubes! No slam against John Kerry or Al Gore or any other fine Dems we've had, but this guy is different, a once-in-a-generation kind of guy like the MA governor said. LET'S F-ING DO IT ON TUESDAY!!!!

(And btw, let's see if there's a poll boost tomorrow).

4. The retired couple

In Ohio are 'my parents' should my mom retire too early.

Reverse it. . . my dad is chronically ill and is on the slow descent to the end. He's 67 - and he takes all of those pills every day. My mom is 62 - still at the top of her game in her career - but she will work . . . until the day my dad dies.


Why? They need the health insurance to help pay for the medications, physical therapy, oxygen, electric (emphysema means you have to run the air in the humid weather).

My heart breaks for every single family he highlighted tonight. We aren't living - as a country. So many people are just getting by . . .
