    Why not take a day off for the election?

    I work for a major insurance company whose board of directors is a who's who of the Republican Party. Nevertheless, my company is echoing what Obama is saying. The compay encourages its employees to take time off from work with pay to vote. (I and almost everyone else that I know have already voted absentee, but I might slip out to go to the gym.) If we want to take the entire day off to campaign or to drive voters to the polling locations, we can take personal vacation days or our personal time to do so. There's nothing Peronist, socialist, or communist about this. Employees can use their personal vacation days or personal time any way that they want.

    Fox-TV news (Faux-TV news) is waving this "take a day off for the election" as a subversion of democracy and capitalism. This only goes to show how desperate the Palin / McCain supporters are getting. Personally, I think it should be a national holiday regardless of who is running for President.

    VOTE OBAMA!

    Get a grip.
    Straylight,

    Very good observation but you shouldn't respond to his rants as El Alamo just needs to fabricate reasons to justify his borderline hatred. This intensity is interesting since he posted just last week that he had not yet decided who he was going to vote for-as if ANYONE really believed him.

    He doesn't realize that, given your explanation, when a Repub dies or moves it works the same way for them, as well. But it is ok when it benefits the Repubs but corruption when it may benefit the Dems.

    Suerte.

    sour grapes

    Now that it appears that McAngryOldGuy and the 'Princess' are going to lose, and possibly by a wide margin (based on the Electoral College) it is interesting to see the Repubs here displaying sour grapes.

    The Repubs only have themselves to blame if / when they get the asses kicked. They were more corrupt than any Dem reign, did more damage to the economy / country than any Dem reign.

    Being a Dem I will say something that NO Repub here have the guts to say about THEIR party (they never criticize their leaders-it is like they believe everyone in the Repub party is perfect-God's gift to us all) All politicians are corrupt-it is the degree that differentiates the Dems from the Repubs (I give you Nixon, Bush 2-the 2 most dangerous we have ever had)

    Having said that, if the Dems get a supermajority in the Senate they will become arrogant and will lose their majority within 4 years. That is why I hope they do not get the supermajority-that will minimize the risk of them losing the majority. It will also prevent them of submitting stupid extreme legislation.

    Suerte.

    Wasn't it you who posted last week that you hadn't decided who you were going to vote for? Now less than 1 week later he is an asshole, fucking idiot and any other invective you can think of? We all knew you were full of shit when you posted that you hadn't made up your mind.

    At least be honest. Take a position / candidate and stay with him. I don't see the purpose of BS'ing everyone that you are open-minded and neutral when it was soooo obvious before you even posted that ridiculous post that you were FOS.

    Suerte.

    Due to expected heavy volume in voting, there has been a change in voting days and times.

    Republican voters will be voting on Tuesday, November 5, 2008.

    Democrat voters will be voting Wednesday, November 5, 2008.

    This will alleviate any issues with waiting times. Please pass this on.

    Best solution I think

    It's time to Balkanize and here are my reasons.

    Dear Red States:

    We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. It may even include Florida and Ohio, they are seriously considering it. We've given them until Nov. 4th to decide. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country. Since we're dropping the middle states we're calling it United America, or simply the U. A.

    To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty.
    You get Dollywood. You can take Ted Nugent. We're keeping Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. You get WorldCom. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get Ole' Miss. We get Harvard and 85 percent of America 's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

    Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms, and the highest concentration of pregnant unwed teenagers. Please be aware that the U. A. Will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, really we do, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. We'd rather spend it on taking care of sick people, and educating our children.

    With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America 's quality wines, 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U. S. Low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs) 92 percent of all U. S. Mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

    Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy Redies believe you are people with higher morals then we Bluies.

    Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.

    Peace out,

    Blue States.

    I think we have a workable solution no?

    DOGGYBOY.

    I am glad you see the humor in this.

    That fuckin idiot Obama really is pissing me off, but I know it really doesn't make any difference.

    We are going to be stuck with whoever we are going to be stuck with as President. Right now, it looks like Obama.

    I've been thinking this for awhile, but might as well say it today. Is El Alamo working up a comedy routine? I could see where he would be a big hit at a nursing home full of demented racists who would laugh til they puked, when they weren't shitting themselves. Funny stuff!

    Positive reasons to vote FOR Obama?

    Gents,

    All of your arguments against Sara Palin (who is not a Presidential candidate) and your list of litanies against George Bush may all be valid, but Obama is not the answer.

    All this anti-Bush / McCain / Palin ranting, but no positive reasons to vote FOR Obama.

    Is Obama really the best that the Dems have to offer?

    Face it, the emotionally driven Dems nominated the wrong guy, and now were all going to be stuck with this neophyte.

    Thanks,

    Jackson
