Most of the bloggers spelled Ayers name incorrectly too. Oh well I guess everyone gets to vote no matter how ill informed they are.

Unfortunately.... rag on me all you want but I think a short quiz at the polls before you cast your vote should be required. So you know, people at least know where Iraq is, etc. before helping to decide who is the next prez.

I was not ragging on you Bullitt - that was more directed at the likes of ACORN and its endless subsidiaries and whatnot. Pulling people off the street and outta shelters to vote.

People living on the street or in shelters will most likely be served better under Obama than under McCain. Why shouldn't they vote for the candidate who serves their interest more? Seriously, why do you have a problem with them voting? Do you have to be rich to vote? wtf?

No, monetary worth should have no bearing on ones desire or ability to vote. Its all part of being an American. I just prefer that those who actually want to and are motivated enough to vote do so instead of those who are pulled out of a trash can or whatever by some group whether it be R's or D's.

Given that a lot of these people have mental illnesses you have to wonder if they are promising them a hot meal for a vote for Obama. How could you be sure they are not doing something like that? It would be totally illegal to buy the vote. Do you think they may be telling them to vote for McCain?

I think both sides do this shit. I don't think either one should. Thats my point and I'm sticking to it.

So you are changing your position from post #87 of this thread where you saw no problem with the Republicans doing it, and only complained when the Democrats did it?

[lookout123]

can we seriously get this election over with so the cellar can return to normal?

[Shawnee123]

Because the election has brought out people's observational skills?

[glatt]

Lookout, I was going to jokingly say "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!" but I can't bring myself to do it.

[lookout123]

no S123, because election years in the cellar get annoying because otherwise reasonable people become so ridiculously caught up in the partisan spin that their ability to approach the issues in a logical, nonbiased manner becomes increasingly stunted up until about 7 PM on election night at which point one side starts the "yippee!" taunts while the other side starts checking real estate and job leads in other countries because the sky is falling.

It's like clockwork.
