due to the overwhelming turnout, the polls have been overrun and a new plan has been formulated to ease voter crush and allow everyone easy access to the polls. this plan is effective nationwide and goes into effect immediately.
please take note of the new schedule which is as follows:
bush voters - nov. 2
nader voters - nov. 3
kerry voters - nov. 4
please note the proper day to vote for your candidate and plan accordingly.
thank you for your support.

Is it possible that the indefatigable war-mongerer papa is showing maybe a few small fissures in the plaster?
Is it possible that he, like me, really has NO IDEA how today is going to turn out?

Posted: 11/2/04 at 9:53amI read in the Metro paper today a girl saying that she wasn't voting for either candidate--that the outcome made her too nervous or something. Dumb! (unless she meant that she is voting for an Ind.)

Posted: 11/2/04 at 10:09amPapa's posting is actually one of the Stupid Pet Tricks employed by the GOP in Ohio today. Another desperate ploy being used by the once Grand Old Party is to send Storm Troopers into polls in Ohio to intimidate African-American voters.

Days of Shame By BOB HERBERT
Published: November 1, 2004
Overseas, our troops are being mauled in the long dark night of Iraq - a war with no end in sight that has already claimed the lives of more than 1,100 American troops and thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of innocent Iraqis.
At home, the party of the sitting president is systematically stomping on the right of black Americans to vote, a vile and racist practice that makes a mockery of the president's claim to favor real democracy anywhere.
This will never be seen as a shining moment in U.S. history.
There is a hallucinatory quality to the news as Americans prepare to vote tomorrow in what is probably the most critical election the country has faced since 1932. Osama bin Laden made his bizarre cameo appearance on Friday, taunting the president who once promised to get him dead or alive. Commentators have been compulsively reading the tea leaves ever since, trying to determine who was helped by the video, George W. Bush or John Kerry.
On Saturday, as if to take our minds off the sideshow, nine more American marines were killed in the Iraq slaughterhouse. It was the deadliest day for U.S. forces in six months. The death toll for Iraqis, which the U.S. government has tried mightily to keep from the American people, is flat out horrifying. Unofficial estimates of the number of Iraqis killed in the war have ranged from 10,000 to 30,000. But a survey conducted by scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad compared the death rates of Iraqis before and after the American invasion. They estimated that 100,000 more Iraqis have died in the 18 months since the invasion than would have been expected based on Iraqi death rates before the war.
The scientists acknowledged that the survey was difficult to compile and that their findings represent a rough estimate. But even if they were off by as many as 20,000 or 40,000 deaths, their findings would still be chilling.
Most of the widespread violent deaths, the scientists reported, were attributed to coalition forces. "Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces," the report said, "were women and children."
That people are dying by the tens of thousands in a war that did not have to be fought - a war that was launched by the United States - is mind-boggling.
Also mind-boggling is the attempt by Republican Party elements to return the U.S. to the wretched days of the mid-20th century when many black Americans faced harassment, intimidation and worse for daring to exercise their fundamental right to vote. A flier circulating extensively in black neighborhoods in Wisconsin carries the heading "Milwaukee Black Voters League." It asserts that people are not eligible to vote if they have voted in any previous election this year; if they have ever been found guilty of anything, even a traffic violation; or if anyone in their family has ever been found guilty of anything.
"If you violate any of these laws," the flier says, "you can get ten years in prison and your children will get taken away from you."
In Philadelphia, where a large black vote is essential to a Kerry victory in the crucial state of Pennsylvania, the Republican speaker of the Pennsylvania House, John Perzel, is hard at work challenging Democratic voters. He makes no bones about his intent, telling U.S. News & World Report:
"The Kerry campaign needs to come out with humongous numbers here in Philadelphia. It's important for me to keep that number down."
That's called voter suppression, folks, and the G.O.P. concentrates its voter-suppression efforts in the precincts where there are large numbers of African-Americans. And that's called racism.
These are days of shame for the United States. No one writing a civics text for American high school students would recommend this kind of behavior for a great and mighty nation. We have to figure out a way to extricate ourselves from Iraq and rebuild a truly representative democracy here at home. Right now we have a mess on both fronts.
It was Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, who said that "America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment."
That's as good a thought as any to carry with you into the voting booth tomorrow

Papa, in some communities flyers were being distributed stating that due to the high voter turnout Republicans would vote on Tuesday and Democrates would vote on Wednesday.
Now do I really want anyone who believes this to vote?
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I know I shouldn't take this all too seriously, but I am.
Um, papa...do you really believe that people who would buy that would post here? Also, it doesn't matter if you want dumb people to vote or not because it isn't your place to choose.

oh yeah, viet, i was really, really trying to fool the people here and in essence steal their votes. who said anything about me choosing who gets to vote? i can have any opinion i want to about who should be allowed to vote and so can you.
but since this disturbs you so much, i'll amend my former statement.
anyone who's dumb enough to take the first post in this thread seriously or to think that it was a serious attempt to dissuade voters should not only not be allowed to vote, but should be kept away from sharp object as there's probably a huge danger of them hurting themselves.

Posted: 11/2/04 at 2:22pmWell, there's the way things should be and the way they are. Really, you don't even need to be literate to vote, which was probably for the best in the 18th century but doesn't look as good now. The fact that people ignorant enough to fall for tricks like that probably shouldn't be voting doesn't change the fact that people who pull tricks like that should have their toenails pulled out one by one.
