Driving Votes: Ralph's Blog - Archived Entry

Ralph:

Why am I taking a trip? I'm not, but I'm helping in any other way I can because I'm scared for my personal well being. Lives in: Washington. Sponsoring a friend to any swing state of his choice.

About me: I'm a Cuban-American gay man who grew up in Miami. Enough said.

Dentist gets into the fray - April 19, 2004

I was in my dentist's office yesterday. She has a big stack of voter registration forms by the door. Next to the stack is a little note saying the office would put the form in the mail for you (and pay the postage).
I asked her about this while I was in the chair. She said she's had no takers yet. She started ranting about Bush and I was amazed. My dentist is a middle-age mother with her own established practice. She explained that the reality is the world is full of liars and crooks and most politicians fit into one or both of those groups. But Bush Jr. rubs her the wrong way. He's a crook and a liar but he's also condescending in a way that makes her passionate about getting rid of him.
I say "You go woman!"
