McCain/Palin supporters shout at and call early voters cheaters, terrorists, murderers, socialists and a whole host of other names. Why not just vote early themselves? Well...democracy used to be fun...

Fuck those people... This is getting ridiculous!

Fuck those people... This is getting ridiculous!


Getting...?

Seriously jedd, the same thing as what you saw on those videos goes on right here on this forum, with people treating those who disagree with them like enemies.

This has been blatantly ridiculous since 1992, and less obviously for even longer than that.

The problem is, I'm starting to feel the same way back...

I live amongst the ill informed...I had an Obama yard sign out and it was stolen Saturday night. Funny thing is after talking to someone going around handing leaflets out for a democrat state senator...about an hour later her organizer showed up and gave me a new one. It lasted through Sunday night...if it lasts the week I'll be surprised.

I also put out a sign of my own making:

"Trespassing and Stealing my sign
Won't Keep Obama Out"

And I taped two small American Flags to the sign.:)

Yea, I am starting to feel like we need to respond to them the same way they are to us... the problem with that is that it will just lead to conflict.

Could a civil war be a possibility ever again? I don't know!

Should McCain win (since the only way that would happen is through widespread voting fraud) or Obama be killed...lookout.

I will be there on the front line... Remember when people mocked my not fighting in the military and considered me Anti-American for it?

Well, I would fight to keep these psycho's from destroying America.

I don't see any realistic comparison, this board is basically an anom place with people familiar only to each others posts. To stand in line to vote and be harrassed by name calling, threatening gestures is simply unacceptable to me. When and by whom and to whom was this last done in our country?

This is a result of the fear mongering of the McCain Palin campaign, it's that simple.

Should McCain win (since the only way that would happen is through widespread voting fraud) or Obama be killed...lookout.

While the first one would get a reaction, I doubt it would be a huge or lasting one. The second one though scares me.

A few things stood out from that video:

1) There was a perception that the polls had been opened as a direct affect of Obama being there for a rally, and that being a Sunday it was out of the ordinary and not right; and,

2) that those voting early were voting for Obama, which was a baseless assumption given that at least one of the protesters stated he has voted early himself and for McCain; and,

3) that there are people living in that area that make great testament to the value of a pro-choice country, such as the man holding his child trying to start a fight with the Obama supporter by saying all Obama supporters were liars (those are fighting words) or the girls trying to drown out the reporter with their "Sarah Palin" chanting (or more likely they hoped to get on camera).

While the first one would get a reaction, I doubt it would be a huge or lasting one.

Nationwide LA style riots wouldn't be unlikely, if it gets jacked through perceived fraud.

Nationwide maybe not but if individual districts KNOW they got jacked, I can certainly see rioting in places like Florida and poorer parts of the North East.

And seriously ... who the hell protests voting? Those people ought to be arrested.

I got spit on today in fucking Winter Haven, FL a small as town for voting early, even though i didnt have an indicator that i was voting for Obama.

Once i got spit on, i told the gentleman that he made it voting for Obama that much easier.

You should've had him arrested...I know easier said than done.

What's this voting early thing? I didn't know there was such a thing except absentee ballots.

But holy god if someone spit on me I'd go apeshit. That is beyond disgusting and I /cringe at the thought of disease (I'm weird like that).

You should've had him arrested...I know easier said than done.

That is considered assault, and with the saliva to provide DNA it would be a solid case.

Some of the folks I used to ride with would have done exactly that, had him arrested. They would then have had access to information about him to find him later, and have a heart to heart chat about his social ineptness. :cool:

Early voting started today in Texas - I have a busy first part of the week but am going to go do mine Friday afternoon before the mad crush on Nov 2nd...

You are a saint Grey, I would have broken the SOB's nose and jaw.

why didnt i do anything is the question:

I live in RURAL central florida. NRA CArd carrying gun-totting capital of florida. Plus i was 1 guy verse a 25 man frothing redneck republican mob.

I choose the less scream like a pig route.

No, I wasn't asking why you didn't do anything, you did more with your words to him than a fist would have, he just doesn't understand that...yet.

I was saying what I would do, that doesn't make me right, but then again at 6'2 235 and pretty well experienced in fighting I can tend to be a bit intimidating at times and that would be one of those times for me...other than that...you did the right thing.

Yeah, but how many 5 year olds can you take (http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com/)?

It says I could take 28 5 year olds.

In a somewhat sense of self-disgust, I took the quiz and my results are 20 five year olds.

(But hey, I am 56, after all)

Voted early today. I find it disgusting people being harassed at the voting booth. Vote for who you want in peace even if you are wrong..lol Here is the kicker libtards. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? I found 3 friends who were not really into politics. They were inclined to Obama because it's all they ever saw on the news. after some talking to them and "re-education" they all fell in line to McCain and we all went together to the polls today. Huzzah!

Why is everyone voting early, anyway? I never understood that.

Are the polling places very busy on election day in your area? I usually walk to mine, vote, and walk home in about 30 minutes.

Some places you don't have polling sites in every convenient area for the one day and they'll set them up in advance in outlying areas to save people long trips to lines on election day.

In 2004 I had to wait about 45 minutes to vote. So god knows how long it'll be this year, I'll be voting early to avoid it.

I have already made up my mind on all the issues so why not take advantage of the easy access and 0 lines.

Yeah, but how many 5 year olds can you take (http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com/)?


I'm going to my neighbors kids kindergarten tomorrow, I'll report back and let you know.

I have taken the entire week off, and plan to be at the polling place when the doors open, so hopefully my wait won't be too bad. My place to vote is a Catholic school/church, so at least the language of those in line should be tolerable. :p

For me, I'm in Atlanta the first week of November, so it was either take 5 minutes at the County Clerk's office or go through a four step process to vote absentee. Not a tough choice.

Absentee ballot in the battleground state of Missouri!

Although it sucks because Missouri is one of the only states to require that you have your ballot notarized before you send it in. Booooo :mad:

Osi, you converted 2, i converted 5. everyone at my job was anti-obama, after telling them to listen, and showing them facts for AND against BOTH candidates they all voted obama :)

BTW i am no small dude. 6 foot 350, im a big dude :)

They probably just said that to shut you up, and then voted for McCain.

i used the millions i am making from my nefarious cell phone empire to have them followed to ensure my success

If you had millions, you wouldn't be an Obama supporter!

its how i am fooling you all..

My state went to an all mail election and I got mine yesterday. sitting right next to me. going to wait a couple days to fill it out so i can savor the moment i check Obama/Biden and thereby pull a giant /Rude to the ignorant portion of our population.

Hey Grey does WH still have the Krispe-Coone funeral home downtown? great insight to alot the people that inhabit that neck of the woods.

I don't understand this either. No matter how close or separated the race is, I want my vote counted. The early votes and the absentee votes (at least where I am) aren't counted unless the election is close enough for those votes to matter.

Wow, nice work Osi, your party does have penchant for converting the weak minded.:p

To answer your question, Sanchek, on Election Day of 2000 I had to wait 3.5 hours to vote (in Athens, Ga btw :) ), and that was arriving at 2:30 in the afternoon - the line streched out and around the elementary school gymnasium where voting was being held. (They only had four of those old gigantic 'pull the handle' type voting machines at my precinct btw, and problems associated with inadequate voting facilities that year in 'certain' (read: minority-majority) districts was reported on the local news.

This year's election looks to blow turnouts for all presidential elections in recent memory out of the water - and frankly, I don't have a whole day to wait in line to vote (voting in my 2000 precinct was finally cutoff at 10:00 pm, a good faith attempt made to serve everyone who had been in line by 7), and yes, I'd like to make sure my vote is counted, even in Texas ;).

Given projected turnouts, especially in 'battleground' states, it makes sense to vote early, if you can - and to address Talaren's concern, at least in Texas, the early voting is counted *before* precinct totals for that day begin to come in so it's always exciting to see those initial results :).

If you want to support terrorism and the re-distribution of America's wealth to the jobless and lazy by all means. Sorry not me.

Instead, support McCain for terrorism and re-distribution of America's wealth to the wealthy!

What can I saw I believe in trickle down economics...

I suppose a sucker's born every minute, these days.

You "believe" in Trickle Down Economics?

Well that's good, because it pretty much is a faith based initiative, isn't it?

Today, in the US, the top 1% wealthiest people have more wealth than the bottom 90%. So I can understand your faith, because anything else would require evidence.

I believe in the Trickle down, like I believe we are living in End Times!

Can I get an Amen!?

You know the original Trickle Down Economies? Yea.. they used to call it Feudalism.

LOL...off topic a bit, I was reading a blog today and on of the replies to a response about being pro-choice was "will you people please rapture already".

Hey Grey does WH still have the Krispe-Coone funeral home downtown? great insight to alot the people that inhabit that neck of the woods.

Os, you need to your head (and other things) out of the ass of Rush and read a little. Try opening your mind up and reading from both sides so you can make an informed decision for once in your life.

no coon is a racial slur in th south, and its a predominately black neighborhood they operate in, and their primary clientel are black.

Yes, I had inferred all of that, which is why I wondered about having a crematorium on site (Crispy Coon) as it seemed to me the rioting/violence would be almost nonstop.

lol gotcha...i missed and never matched the krispy part of it in 5 years ....nice
