Voted and Saw Something Disgusting

[spicedogs]

I came home early and voted. It was a smart move. When we got to the polling place, there was a handful of people there. We got on line and voted. Took few minutes. The most that I spent was helping my mom vote. She doesn't speak much English, is hard of hearing, and is 92 years old. I always get to be her helper.

I voted for Obama and took a picture of my ballot:



I live in a Democratic state, but my town is very Republican. Sadly, I found this truck parked right in front of the no-campaign zone. Technically, it was not breaking the law. However, this just shows the mentality of the majority of the people who live in my neighborhood. I am ashamed to be their neighbor. (I usually block the license plates of vehicles that I photograph. I don't exercise that courtesy here.)







I hope that Obama wins. That's all.

Makes me want to shake the hell out of someone.

I'm so frightened that obama might lose. being under the rule of that dingbat palin, is so terrifying to me.

I am cautiously optimistic. I think that Obama will win.

The scary thing is that these people's votes count just as much as any rational voter. I have plenty of friends and family members who supported McCain, but they did so for rational reasons. I don't begrudge them that (although I tried hard to talk some of them out of it). I just hate the idiocy of people who actually believe this b.s. (at least I think it's b.s. -- I have to just guess what it means since it really isn't a frickin' SENTENCE!).

Go Barack!!! Alas, I don't think he will win Missouri although we tried hard. But then I live in a county where we don't have flouride in our water becaus it is just too newfangled for people. Guh.

Yes, that's scary.

Oh, how rude!

I was upset.

It's the Politics of Fear (and small minds) at work. Talk about "terror-ism." Anyway, I know it's not fun, but we need voters like you in areas like that! (Love your avatar.) ZOMG, the Daily Show just called the election for Obama (according to CNN)! I just burst out in tears ...

My avi said it like it was. Yes, we need more Democrats where I live. A few years ago, the grand pubah of the KKK lived in our neighborhood. (Thankfully, he moved.) We are expanding and becoming more diverse. I have faith that soon I won't be in the minority.

Unreal. Hello! It's illegal for a Presidential campaign to accept donations from foreigners. Ignorant bigot!

I doubt that he is ignorant. (I am sure it was done for incendiary reasons.) And, if he is ignorant, he doesn't care..

What do you mean your mom doesn't speak much English?

What is her native language?

Congrats! :-)

She never learned. If is amazing since we live in this counrty since 1962. She speaks Hungarian.

Thanks, and you will see that you will not be disappointed.

Well, at least he got what was coming to him. I'm so happy for America right now :)
