[Vision2020] Say What?

Sat Jul 24 16:08:33 PDT 2010

@Tom:  I'll bring up this idea.  I find it interesting, considering that
there is no available video of Dan but that there is available video of
Bouma on his far superior website.

@Keely:  After reading your comment, I spent a lot of time researching
Bouma.  I read every post on his facebook page and I read everything on his
campaign website and twitter feed.  I found you to be rather correct.
 Bouma's ideas are scary.  If we can just get people to focus in on HIM and
his ideas we can motivate people to get out and vote in order to prevent a
Bouma victory.  I've taken screen captures of the most controversial things
I found on his facebook feed.  It wasn't much.  Just a reference to his
support of Rex Rammel and a reference to his affiliation with the Tea Party.
 I have recently started attending Democratic meetings and can tell you that
everyone is aware of just what a nutter Bouma is.  I don't want to say any
more than that, but I will certainly tell you that there are elements within
the party that agree with everything you just said.  Maybe the best thing
for us to do is to strategize on the best way to disseminate the message of
Bouma's craziness.  Maybe negative messaging like that is less the job of
the Democratic party and candidates (makes them look bad to go negative),
and more the job of dedicated and informed supporters like you and I.  Thus,
the need for strategizing.  I will keep attending said meetings.  But let us
strategize outside of those meetings as well.  I think we can work together.
 Does this sound amenable to you?

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened.
