They do not know what they are unleashing ......

Madness

Allrighty then! Took me four, count 'em four minutes to complete the voting process and that included making sure I had blackened the correct ovals for McCain/Palin, Coleman, the token Republican being sacrificed to McCollum, and against the State Constitutional amendment to voluntarily raise my taxes for "the arts". I spent just as much time at the liquor store afterwards.

And that's my report from Minnesota Precinct ST. PAUL W-4 P-07, the deepest depths of the deep blue sea.

/by the way, what's the deal with Fox News The Eeyore Channel?

How clever these alternate education students are with their arts and crafts.

the vedanta societyYour text to link... is this old guru/swami cult that's been in hollywood since the 1920s. their temple is also my polling place. i stood in line this morning for about ten minutes. i was the only one not wearing some sort of obama gear. an old man from the cult worked the crowd. he was talking about what a great day it was, how this was a great spiritual moment for the lovers of peace. and kept trying to get people to come to one of their meetings.

the obama drones were very receptive. i guess weak minds are open to anything.

So many images come to mind: brown shirts, Orwell/1984, Chinese Cultural Revolution… this is a foreshadowing of what America will be like when Obama and the socialists/communists are in charge. Free speech will be shouted down, dissent will be crushed. We may be entering into a “dark age” of politics and free expression. God help us all.

Of course.

Interesting factoid from PA-
One of the local Philadelphia news stations is running an online poll, asking people who they would vote for. Currently, it's Obama-33%, McCain-30% with the rest saying independent or not voting. This is Philly. I was shocked at how close it was.

re: #10 buzzsawmonkey

Were it not that I and those I care for live in this country too, I would like to see the Obama supporters get what they voted for.

Heard from a guy who runs a small business who knows he'll have to lay off people under an Obama tax plan says he has been carefully watching which of his employess are Obamatons so he can lay them off first. His reasoning, "They'll be getting what they voted for."

Philip Busse, a journalist and political activist from Portland, Ore. who taught a media studies course, also will be charged with misdemeanor theft. He could face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine

You think they would ever get the idea that this malicious mischief has the potential to boomerang? People know the owner of the sign didn't stencil it there-hence the opposition party.

Of course the Obamatrons wouldn't think that way, but undecideds? I know for a fact it has worked precisely it has had that effect.

Can't they think of something - anything - original? This is so last election.

Lawsuit Being Filed Over NH New Voter Registrations

Both Republicans and Democrats appoint election officials to ensure that neither party tries to tamper with votes or registration.

“The problem is that our observers in the polling places have been denied reasonable access to the same-day registration tables,” said GOP attorney James Merrill told the Union Leader moments ago.

It's disgusting when either side does this kind of thing. Both sides do it. Not sure who does it more often, and neither are you.

Why would you need to deface an Obama sign with Hitler? We already know he is a Marxist.

I haven't heard of any OBAMA signs defaced or stolen. The contrast between the behavior of OBAMA and MCCAIN supporters is the difference between the Far Left and the Silent Majority ... My prediction? The latter will speak very loudly today via the ballot box. Perhaps even in the People's Republic of Maryland where there is a strange lack of OBAMA media planted in neighborhood yards or pasted on cars and whatnot. (Unlike the Kerry blitz four years ago.) I just went to vote and the atmosphere was somber - few smiles, very little talk. We'll find out what it all means by the end of the day.

"Man, I ain't worried about what was....I is worried about what IS!"

Hey idiot Black Panther guy, maybe you should tell people who are voting for your beloved Obama that it's not about what WAS ("8 years of failed policy"), it's about what IS.

I may have to pursue that idea in the future.

Just got back from voting.

One of the election officials told several of us in line to make sure we vote for the city bonds on the ballot. When I asked if she was telling us how to vote she responded NO, I'm just reminding you to vote on the issues. My response was if they're on the ballot I'm sure people know they have the opportunity to vote on the bonds and her suggestions were to vote for the city bonds. I asked her to please rethink how she was instructing voters.

If this was an Obama sign, it would be a hate crime, and prosecutable in Massachusetts. I wonder if it qualifies in this case...

Yes! I've seen lots of Obama signs that have been defaced so as to resemble Soviet or Maoist propaganda posters!

What? They're meant to look like that?

Oh. Never mind.

Re-posting from a couple of threads down........

A random thought as I see my country changing in front of my eyes.......No matter how much tyranny and evil there was in the world, America always represented a refuge, a place to where oppressed people could struggle towards (and I mean politically oppressed, not economically. If you're economically oppressed fix your own damn country - don't bring the burden to us). My mom and dad (with me in tow) were two of those people that fought against totalitarian tyranny and saw America as a shining light that they struggled toward and thankfully were let in. That light is on the verge of being extinguished with the "Fundamental change that America will undergo" under an Obama presidency....change that my mindless fellow citizens have no grasp of the enormity of. When that happens, where will the oppressed of the world turn to.......there are no other places left. The West is weak and succumbing to socialism everywhere we look. Saddens me deeply........

Also troubles me deeply that whatever else Obama's shortcomings are........HE HASN'T EARNED THIS! As much as I disliked Hillary, she has been in the fight for many years. This guys done nothing but write 2 books about himself. And at least half of my fellow Americans think that's just fine. We've become an un-serious people and likely will get the government that we deserve.

They've used this imagery soo much in the last 8 years that it's now been rendered meaningless.

History is so lacking amongst the young and the ignorant --- Hitler was a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party and was elected Chancellor of the Weimar Republic of Germany in 1933. Yes that is the German "Socialist" party, Obama's Democrat socialist party twin. It was after he formed a ruling coalition, that he was able to seize total control over Germany, with absolute power. Hitler sold the ignorant and down on their luck Germans on the concept that they were the super race -- would rule the world, well at least the part that Japan didn't want for themselves. And as they say, the rest is history.

It's much easier to make ignorant voters, than it is to make informed educated citizens.

Charismatic demagogues litter mankind's history.

re: #111 Sharmuta

I agree. They don't know what fascism is, and if they did, I doubt they'd realize they're the fascists.

In fact they consider themselves anti-fascists. They have history so distorted that they consider the right to be fascist. They cannot see the history of oppression of Socialist/communist...

The tyrant always says he is taking power, and keeping it for the good of the people. Despite the reality of Chavez, Che and the Castro brothers the left continues to make them into heros.

I have to disagree with those down dinging you. That sort of thing happens on both sides of the party line. From either side, it pisses me off. You have your right to voice your opinion, let me have mine too. To down ding you for those pics alone is dishonest.

However, I also disagree with your final statement. One side of the party line is much more prevalent at silencing critics, stealing/defacing posters, etc. It's bullying tactics--cowardice--any way you look at it.

re: #181 Jinx (and Needlestack)

I agree.

Just to repeat what happened to me.

4 McCain signs out front on my farm.
A couple of weeks ago I sent a letter to the KC Star, which was published, that was against obama.

Saturday night, someone stole 3 of my signs and stuck around 25 to 30 plastic knives into the ground where the signs were.

THIS is what we have to look forward to in an obama administration.

And I live in a red part of the country.
But they found me by seeing my name and town in the paper.
Stop at the caseys, bank or grocery store, say you are a friend of mine and are lost and it would be easy to find me. Because people here trust they would give you directions.

Anyone have special plans/tradition you observe for tonight, election night?

I'm oddly serene. Probably because I am waiting for my new glasses.

Remember, the only person you control is yourself. It's cold comfort, but it's all I've got, today.

Based on the "completely unbiased sampling" of voters interviewed by the MSM today (at random times, various networks) G.. help America.

The dumbing down is evident, the sheer inability to express even basic thoughts using complete words and generally accepted grammar is, well, frightening.

I'm sure this comment would be seen by Ayers et al as evidence of the racism and white supremacy he so firmly believes in and uses to indoctrinate students in the Chicago classrooms engaged in the Annenberg Challenge.

re: #165 BigJohn

Oh I have a pretty good idea. Democrats are younger and more immature. It's not hard to figure out.

The reason we've got a hate crimes law in TX is because of some sloppy swastikas (IIRC) painted on a black church in Dallas. They were painted with a brush, using the same kind of white paint that was at the time being used to repaint the interior of the church. Some passersby (Jews, ironically) said they saw black people painting the swastikas. Of course they didn't want their names publicized. This was after W (he was governor then) wouldn't sign a hate crimes law. The "vandalism" was the impetus to get the law passed and signed.

Don't threaten the venerable hamsters. They are exceptional in fulfilling their roles and their service.

Charles posted this poem as a lead about five years ago. It seems more relevant than ever today:

There Will Be No Peace

Though mild clear weather
Smile again on the shire of your esteem
And its colours come back, the storm has changed you:
You will not forget, ever,
The darkness blotting out hope, the gale
Prophesying your downfall.

You must live with your knowledge.
Way back, beyond, outside of you are others,
In moonless absences you never heard of,
Who have certainly heard of you,
Beings of unknown number and gender:
And they do not like you.

What have you done to them?
Nothing? Nothing is not an answer:
You will come to believe - how can you help it? -
That you did, you did do something;
You will find yourself wishing you could make them laugh,
You will long for their friendship.

There will be no peace.
Fight back, then, with such courage as you have
And every unchivalrous dodge you know of,
Clear in your conscience on this:
Their cause, if they had one, is nothing to them now;
They hate for hate's sake.

—W. H. Auden

On the defacement topic, what can I say? Not surprising. And think how easy it would have been to put an "S" on all the Obama signs. But we don't do that. Nor does our candidate give the finger to his opponents.

As for the morale, I have never ever seen the media kick it into gear like they have. It is over in their minds, why bother voting... They have hit their apex in skullduggery.

Palin = Moose-alini

:-)

Word in Chicago is spreading: Obama loss is expected. Grant Park rally downgraded to “tens of thousands” instead of the million Obama promised

Here in Chicago, a group of us just got back from doing visibility for McCain here in Boystown on a break from monitoring the polling stations in our neighborhoods. So far, we have not seen any instances of Obama followers intimidating voters or committing any sort of fraud — but are keeping our eyes open. We are all veterans of the Iowa, Texas, and other caucuses, so we know how bad Obama’s followers can be.

The weirdest thing about today is that we honestly see less Obama tee shirts, stickers, and buttons out that we saw Kerry stuff in 2004. We spotted two black people in Obama tee shirts and a 60-something white hippy woman with long gray hair wearing about 57 Obama buttons (one for every state), but that’s about it. Spotted one McCain tee shirt and one pink Palin shirt though.

The best part: SAW THREE PEOPLE IN HILLARY CLINTON TEES.

Honestly, you would really not know there was even an election going on. There is no excitement in the air here in Chicago. Our polling stations are in a neighborhood heavily populated with young professionals and college kids — supposedly Obama’s demorgraphic. Both polling places near us have not been busy all day. There was never a line, and inside the room there are about 35 poll workers and monitors, with something like 25-30 voting booths, and at most we’ve seen 6 of them occupied at a time.

Where is Obama’s “youth army”?

Or, are they all going to come in 10 minutes before polls close to overwhelm the room, like they did in Iowa for the caucus?

You can tell the Obama supporters on the street, though. They look really worried. Word’s spreading fast here that Obama’s going to lose — the big Reifenstahl-styled rally Obama planned for Grant Park has been downgraded, according to police we know. Instead of one million people coming out to hear his concession speech tonight, the city is now expecting only “tens of thousands”. The world’s biggest celebrity doesn’t seem to be drawing the crowd he hoped.

More later when we get the chance — back to our stations — another four hours or so until polls close here.

If turnout and excitement for Obama are as dismal in the rest of the city as they are in Boystown, this could be a VERY bad night for Dear Leader.

Halloween night my McCain/Palin sign was stolen from my yard. On Saturday night we watched the Texas/Texas Tech game at a friends home....when we returned we found an Obama sign in my yard. Moonbats would be proud, I promptly placed it in the recycle bin.

I wanted to put a new sign indicating that they may have stolen my sign, but not my vote. My DH wouldn't let me since he's traveling this week...he was afraid that we'd have more trouble.

It's ridiculous that these crazy nuts think that they have to impose their beliefs on others...

re: #113 Ben Hur

Yep. That's one reason I'm skeptical about the GOP moderating it's social stance. The people who, for example, vote solely one the Abortion issue aren't going to vote Republican no matter what the Republican's stance is on gay marriage.

OTOH, the base is discontent, as their issues don't seem to count. The base was not thrilled by the McCain pick. The only reason this isn't already a route is because of Sarah Palin. She's the sort of Republican that the base can rally around. That's why the Left hate her so much.

Likewise, the base was pissed off at George Bush the Elder because of his stance on gun control and his raising taxes. That made Perot an acceptible vehicle for expressing one's discontent. These issues, where the GOP candidate was more "moderate", cost Bush I the election.

This is what Democrats don't seem to get: if Obama really is such a transcendent miraculous piece of political awesomeness, you wouldn't need to cheat to get him elected. If his policies really were so wonderful and persuasive, it wouldn't even be a contest. The fact that you have to have a nationwide fraud effort to get him votes tells you all you need to know about the alleged appeal of The One.

One of the election officials told several of us in line to make sure we vote for the city bonds on the ballot.

My response was if they're on the ballot I'm sure people know they have the opportunity to vote on the bonds and her suggestions were to vote for the city bonds. I asked her to please rethink how she was instructing voters.

It takes for f'ing ever. Sorry. I may be a bit distraught...

North Charleston, 28th Precinct (@ my college).

I left work early to go vote and handle some schoolwork (used a 1/2 day of vacation time). As I was arriving at my polling place, no defaced signs or Black Panthers; just a dude with a bunch of flyers/leaflets saying "ELECT BARACK OBAMA...". I told said dude that I wasn't interested in what he had to say, but that I was voting. I went in, noted the poll watcher, and pointed out to her that the dude was standing outside the parking lot near the polling area. I was concerned about the "100-ft. limit" (the poll watcher said it was 200 ft. here).

Went fairly smoothly. Had a first-time voter in front of me who had to fill out a "provisional ballot" because she had recently moved out of county. (She thought you "should be able to vote anywhere...just vote." One of the poll workers and I explained that it was basically to keep people from voting for the same person in two different counties ["voting twice"])I was #183 on the sign-up list (we had to show ID and voter registration card), and after a few minutes, I went and voted.

For President: McPal :)

US Rep: I decided that Henry Brown could keep his job. He initially voted against the bailout, so I'll give him another chance. That, and I didn't know a damn thing about Ketner(Brown's opponent)--except that her billboard has DEMOCRAT in the smallest font size. Why hide? What else is there...?

Senate: I elected to fire Lindsey Graham for voting for the bailout, so unfortunately, one Democrat did get my vote.

Voted R for county council and CCSD North Area. Left the rest blank.

Got my I Voted/Palmetto Project sticker, then shuffled on home. :)
