I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Reminds one of Saddam Hussein after the First Gulf War:

"The Motherland has Triumphed!!!"

The GOP was laughing with the rest of us back then....how times change.

You'd think after waiting in line for 4,5,6,7 hours, you'd probably vote against the Party that made you do that!

What's with the big "O" and big "R" in the first photo (up high, on the building).  Funny.

I don't know, Kam.

Betting its part of FLORIDA. I see an "I" around the corner.

I'm the dweep who didn't think of it.

Voting tomorrow. Missed all the early days just putting it off. Think I'll wait til middle of day to miss the before and after work crowd.

Dog whistling racism.  Who asks these sort of questions for what reason, above and beyond, in America, you can believe in any god you want or in no god, to be POTUS.  And they don't understand why we think some of them are racists!

". . . our American way of life, at least what it used to be before BO. . . " And what would that be? Torturing prisoners at Guantanamo? A vice president who broke the law while hunting and shot an old man in the face and didn't apologize? The stock market in the crapper and getting flushed? An America that was the laughingstock of the world for electing a president TWICE who lied us into a war, who took 3 years worth of vacation in 8 years in office, couldn't string together a grammatical sentence, allowed a CIA operative to be outed and agents killed for political pique? Or women dying on the emergency room floor for lack of health insurance? Children denied heart transplants because they didn't have insurance and their communities couldn't hold enough bake sales to buy them a new heart? Or do they want to go back futher, with blacks beaten and lynched for trying to vote? Separate water fountains? Dogs and water hoses and beatings for people who dared to stand up for their rights? Birth control outlawed? Women without the vote? How the hell would "our American way of life" be any different now than it was four years ago before a black man became president, other than better? GM is alive and Osama is dead. They might not *like* being called racist, but I don't know any other word to describe it. Delusional comes close.

You ladies are wonderful, intelligent and you get it. "Taking American back," is such an overused code for when the old white men were in power. Welll, it's kind of like us, we can never go back to the day before dx. This country is done with  the total rule of white men. If you don't like it, learn to deal with or search out some place else to go, although pickings for white run country with no universal health care, equal rights for women, marriage equality and run by fundamentalist are slim.

One of the things that concerns me is that the conservatives are so sure that Romney won't turn back Roe v Wade or restrict birth control availability even though he has promised to do just that. And they say he is the truth teller of the two presidential candidates. Weird.

lassie...I think they have become immune to lies.  They don't hear them and if they do somehow think it really WON'T happen.  They are lemmings.....in lock step with their fearless leader. I think anyone who does not question their leader , or potential leader, and I mean seriously, will continue to get people like Romney.  He has shown contempt plenty of comtempt for them, but they don't look.  They would rather deny....look how much REAL responsibility you can duck, all the while calling out others.  It is not the fall that gets you, its the landing.

PiP -- Yes!  Many conservatives think Colbert is one of them.  It is to laugh!

This, on the other hand, is serious:

Just minutes ago, Ohio voting rights advocate Bob Fitrakis filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding the removal of secret software recently installed on all ES&S, Inc. voting machines in at least 25 Ohio counties. 

This proprietary software allows vote tabulation numbers to be wirelessly sent to the Ohio Secretary of State's office. Four million Ohio voters - that is 80% - depend on these machines to accurately report their vote. Now, those votes will be initially reported via an easily intercepted wireless transmission. 

Together with Free Press and other key advocates, we released the news about the lawsuit at a press conference just now at the National Press Club in D.C.. Fitrakis Skyped-in to the press conference and gave us the latest. He called on everyone, "concerned about our democracy to call the Ohio Secretary of State's office and demand the removal of this suspicious software." 

Please do it right now. Call the Ohio Secretary of State's office at 1-877-767-6446 

Lindasa - how shocking.

Sun - I am so glad that Warren seems to be doing well.

The last paragraph is priceless!!

Athena....love it and yorkie, I'm joining in your chorus.  I also wish to say ( since it is not something I have to do or even consider, I'm so thankful for those people in the long lines who have refused to budge until they got to vote.  I don't know what I would do if I lived there, but these things need changing, badly.  It is never too late to do the right thing.

I also meant to say to Sunflowers.....I saw the same "good" figures just a short while ago and I have great confidence as well.  There are lots of things going on.....like Romney making another trip to Ohio and Penns,tomorrow  Well, he could skip Ohio......he cut his own throat there telling bold-faced lines in BIG car country.  A waste of Karl Rove's funds for sure.  There have been lots of ads in odd places......all the spots in the really important places have been used and there are no more available.  DESPERATION to the hilt and back.  All rather useless.
