The Truth Hurts

Disgraceful

A letter from U.S. Senate Canidate Wendy Long:

"This morning when I went to vote, a poll worker who was at the scanner, studied my private ballot and proceeded to tell me that it was rejected because I did not 'fill in every space.' She then proceeded to indicate that I should mark the Democratic line all the way down.   

The poll worker said, 'you have to fill in all of THESE, all the way down," indicating the whole line at the far left of the ballot, saying 'you can't leave any blank.'" 

I said, "I'm sorry, but that just can't be the case .... that would force me to vote for people I don't want to vote for."  She insisted again, that every office had to be filled out or the ballot would be rejected. And I said again "I don't want to vote for those people!"

I protested again and said that I wanted to feed my ballot into the scanner as I had filled it out. She eventually relented  saying 'well you can TRY it'  -- meaning she would allow me to put it in the scanner.   

It obviously worked. 

I had just remarked to all the poll workers, before I filled in my ballot, that we were all very fortunate to have heat and water and electricity. 

It is heartbreaking, especially in these trying times for New York City with thousands of voters displaced from their homes and their polling locations, that poll workers would behave in this way, and through intent or ignorance, work to distort the outcome of an election and violate an individual’s right to vote for whomever he or she chooses. 

I urge all voters to know your rights when you vote. 

You can ask for help in how to operate the scanner, but your ballot is private and cannot and should not be inspected. 

You do not have to vote in every office, or fill in every oval.  Vote only for the candidates whom YOU want to vote for. 

Finally, question authority - poll workers are there to help you to vote, not to tell you how vote.  If one crosses the line, contact the Attorney General’s Office or your local Board of Elections."

Voter ID

In my small town I waited over an hour to vote this morning.  Not a big deal really, and it was sort of nice watching the neighbors be neighborly and people greeting one another with smiles and handshakes.  The line moved slowly, but I eventually made it to the voter roll table where I announced my last name to the unfriendly gentlemen seated with the rolls.  He flipped page after page after page until he landed on the letter he was looking for.  I spotted my full name before he found my last name and I said, "That's me at the top."

I did the same thing last election and the election before that.  I always tell them my last name and point at my name when I see it before they've even had a chance to find the last name I've told them.  If I weren't an honest person I could very easily be committing voter fraud.

It would be all too simple to pick a random last name and then point at it claiming that it is me.  They have no recourse to verify that I am not who I say I am.  As long as that person hasn't voted already I would be home free.

Thank goodness I'm an honest person who believes in fair elections aka a "racist."

I'm a racist very much unlike this "election judge" in Chicago who feels like it is ok to wear Obama campaign propaganda while checkng people in to vote.

Vote!

Woke up to this*. . .

to go tolerate this. . .





. . .so I could get this. . .






. . .go vote. This is our last chance to save our Republic.

Hypocrit much, Mr. Axelrod?

Wouldn't expect anything less from a heartless comrade of the corrupt Chicago political machine.

Get Out and Vote!

The polls seem to be tightening.  I can't understand why.  I'm sorry, but Americans, collectively, are idiots and suicidal.  How this thing can even be close is beyond me.

This was written almost 200 years ago.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville

I think we're already there.

Face Pubes

Recently, David Axelrod made some kind of wager on television that if Obama lost a particular state, or maybe the election overall, he would then shave off his mustache.  Whatever dude.  Paint your balls pink and go fuck a football while you're at it.

You might think that this is a one-and-done type of story, just some bloviating by a campaign surrogate who gets paid to bloviate.  But wait, it gets better, enter. . .the American Mustache Institute. . .

. . .this is almost too dumb to report but. . .

"There are very few people in positions of power who are mustached Americans, so for he to even jest about removing his lip sweater is somewhat offensive to the entire American mustached community," he says.

Perlut also cautioned the senior advisor to review the Dead Sea Scrolls, a section of which he claims says every time a mustache is shaved, an angel dies and falls down to earth. Whispers was not able to confirm this to be true.

Seriously?  Lip sweater?

Oh just wait, the stupidity is paramount in this organization.  They have sponsored a bill for a tax deduction related to facial hair grooming.

America, my dear lovely America, what has happened to you?
