Out Knocking on Doors

 



Mad Dog has long questioned the value of knocking on the doors of voters in his town. Most people fall into one of two categories: 1/ The already convinced, the church choir who need no reminding or encouragement and will vote Democratic no matter whether we knock on their doors or not.  2/ The "undeclared" voter who really does not like having to deal with people on his/her doorstep trying to "sell" him/her a pitch about who to vote for. These people feel violated, intruded upon and get more and more hostile the more you ring their doorbells.



Now, it should be noted exactly how a voter's name gets on the list of nice names to be knocked upon: The computer has identified them as having voted in a Democratic primary, meaning they are either true Blue Democrats or they declared themselves Democratic for purposes of voting in one primary and then, most often, changed back to "undeclared."

It is among the members of this group we often hear, "I'm still doing my research" when we ask the question our Party insists we ask: "Are you planning on supporting Maggie Hassan."



The fact we have to ask this question at all is a problem, as far as Mad Dog is concerned. It transforms this friendly, "I'm just your neighbor urging you to vote on November 8" into a poll, which is asked for the tracking purposes of the Party.  The soft sell of, "Gee, I wouldn't tell you what to think or how to vote, but do vote," into a "So, can I count on you?" This is supposed to be followed by the question, "Will you sign this 'Commit to Vote' card which presents the homeowner with a card which might sign away the mortgage and now the canvasser on the door step looks like a salesman, con artist.



How the Democratic Party organization came up with these procedures is beyond Mad Dog, but it makes him question his faith in the Democratic Party higher ups.  If anyone can pull off these depradations and make it seem friendly and innocent, it is his partner in canvassing, Olivia Ostrich, but Mad Dog suspect 90% of those who try to get away with this only alienate voters.



What Mad Dog would like to say when a citizen says she is still doing her research on Karoline Leavitt who she might prefer to Chris Papas is to simply read her these Professor Google statements:

Here is the person you would be voting for rather than Papas:

KAROLINE LEAVITT

WHAT SHE STANDS FOR

1.   “PRIVATIZING” SOCIAL SECURITY

2.   STOPPING ALL FEDERAL SPENDING OUTSIDE OF DEFENSE AND HOMELAND SECURITY (CANCELING MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY)

3.   REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

4.   REPEAL OF GUN FREE ZONES AT SCHOOLS

5.   OPPOSES ANY RESTRICTIONS ON ANY FIREARMS

6.   AGAINST INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES AND AIRPORTS

7.   INSISTS DONALD TRUMP WON THE 2020 ELECTION

8.   RESTRICTING RIGHT TO VOTE, DENYING VOTE TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

9.   “CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX MANUFACTURED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY”

10.                     ABOLISH THE IRS

11.                     ABOLISHING EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY WITH 3 LETTERS (IRS, EPA, FAA,DOD,DHS, DOJ, DOE,FBI)

12.                     BLACK LIVES MATTER IS A “MAXIST TERRORIST GROUP”

13.                     WISHES NH HAD A DON’T SAY GAY LAW

14.                     DEFENDS JAN 6 AS A “PEACEFUL PROTEST”





And for those contemplating not voting for Maggie Hassan:

DON BOLDUC

1.    ABORTION:

         NO EXCEPTION FOR RAPE OR INCEST

 

2.    TROOPS TO URKAINE:

“WE NEED AMERICAN BOOTS ON THE GROUND OVER THERE.”

3.    2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN

“SO, I SIGNED A LETTER …SAYING THAT TRUMP WON THE ELECTION AND, DAMMIT, I STAND BY MY HORSE. I’M NOT SWITCHING HORSES, BABY. THAT’S IT.”

4.    CALLED CHRIS SUNUNU “A CHINESE COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZER”

5.    ANTI VAXXER

“THIS IS BILL GATES SAYING WE SHOULD PUT CHIPS INSIDE PEOPLE NOW.” (5/22)

6.    MASKS CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY SOLVE

“I BELIEVE THEY COLLECT BACTERIA. WE’VE HAD A HUGE LITTERING PROBLEM WITH MASKS AND RUBBER GLOVES.”

7.    CONFEDERATE STATUES ARE A “SYMBOL OF HOPE”

 That's what Mad Dog would like to do, but the Democratic Party insists on not getting "confrontational."

Which is why Democrats lose.
