This was posted here yesterday. It is long. It is brilliant. It is dead on. Be enlightened!

(a Papist who is voting for McCain/Palin)
Nevertheless, whether Blue Collar Woodbridge or White Collar Westfield, you don't see too many McCain supporters that will admit to it.
I was polled the other day and after I told the woman that I was voting for McCain and a Repub in a local race, she said “You just have a wonderful day now” with her teeth clenched and hung up. If that’s the attitude one gets, it’s no wonder people might not want to tell the truth.
In NY, I’m afraid to put a McPalin sticker on my car, because I don’t want to pay for damage or find my tires slashed. Few have any yard signs. There are some Obama ones here and there, but way less then there were Kerry signs. The few who have McCain signs out put several of them in seeming defiance of anyone doing anything to them.
People I know who have never voted anything but Dem are refusing to vote for Obama. I was online at WalMart the other day and struck up a conversation with a woman in her 70’s. She moved the subject of the conversation to politics and said “That Barney Frank makes me want to throw my shoe at the TV every time I hear him.”
My wife has always voted Dem and would have voted for Hillary but will NOT vote for Obama under any circumstances. Of course, she lives with me, so it’s hard for her to not know a lot more about Obama than a regular person might. However, she felt that way long before he got the nomination. “He’s a black panther,” she told me. I thought this was just hyperbole before I actually investigated on my own and found the Ayres/Black Panther connections.
She was horrified when I showed her the documentary on how he stole the primaries from Hillary.
Of course, my best friend lives down closer to the city and he says that down there, everyone seems to be a brainwashed Obama supporting zombie.
I don’t know where we are in this whole thing, but I am leery of some of these ideas that Obama has such a huge groundswell. It seems to me like it’s a fairly small bunch of people who are unstable and completely unable to handle the idea that someone might have a differing opinion. And I say that from the perspective of being a very conservative guy in a very liberal state.
I grew up in Plainfield in the 50’s. It’s tragic what’s happened to New Jersey since.
I like your son.
Yes. Forget about persecution. Few people can withstand a little browbeating.
Might have to put some O signs in the yard the night of the election if he loses. Just kidding. I’ve got plenty of ammo.
Has anyone who DOES go to Confession noticed that the lines are only long in Traditional parishes -- where mass-goers would NOT be likely to make an error in thinking that not voting for 0bama is a 'sin.'
As for discussing politics in the workplace, I just won't do it, in spite of the repeated attempts of colleagues to draw me in. The lines are so deeply drawn that wearing your political heart on your sleeve is just not wise.
The biggest change over the past 20 years has been the outflow of Republican voters as well as the migration of Clifford Case/Millicent Fenwick Republicans to the Democrats. As GOP voters leave suburban areas they are replaced by Democratic "latte liberals" from NYC (see Ridgewood, Montclair, Westfield) and affluent LEGAL immigrants who buy into the "Republicans are for white, Christians" only mythology. In the southern part of the state, you have seen a huge inflow of state employees into places like Burlington County, to say nothing of blue collar (union) voters from Philly who still remain loyal to the Democratic Party. This is why the counties that face Philly have gone Dem in every national election since 1988.
You know this state is hopeless when the last Republican elected to the Senate (Clifford Case) was first elected when my father was delivering the Star Ledger back in the 1950s, and last reelected in the 1972.
Me too...the Schenectady ghetto isn’t too far down the road. I’ve stocked up in case it decides to visit our quiet little street. Between me and my neighbor, we can probably hold off a small army. :)

“How would you like to get up in front of a crowded theater in a mixed neighborhood and say you are going to vote for McCain?”
How about in ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ where I live? We do our work subversively around here. Hippies are flat-our mean. You know, just like Michelle says about America in general. *SMIRK*
“We want to be employed and not vandalized and not threatened so much that we will not dare speak the truth?”
Speak the Truth to those who are worthy to hear it. The Obama bunch of coconuts are not worthy and would use the Truth to harm the innocent. It is only a very very small sin if any to withhold the Truth from the Obamanites...did the Wisemen commit sin in withholding Truth from Herod? Recognize what really is evil in this world - it is essential to survive it.
I read it and liked it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I think most of us have been so appalled at the way Sarah Palin, her family, and now Joe the Plumber have been treated that we would prefer not to tell people how we’re voting in case they are one of those unhinged, Bush-hating, mean liberals. It’s not worth the conflict. I have had people stop speaking to me forever when I told them I was voting for W. This would only be the same sauce.
My own daughter who is very liberal told me that if she saw a McCain sticker on a car, she would do something to it!
This is a very painful election for individuals and the country. It’s almost like Civil War times where every family was touched by tragedy and division.
Worthiness is key. Why spread pearls before swine? If someone demonstrates an open mind to me, I discuss it with them. My two cents: almost everyone has made up his mind. There are very few undecideds with open minds out there.
That’s weird indeed...and encouraging!
I frequent another web site for moms.
There are alot of mindless Obamabots there—some very shrill and most typically ugly Obama supporters.
But lately most if not all of the informal polls are showing a tie or a McCain win. I know it’s not scientific but from the amount of traffic and shrillness there I am heartened and encouraged.
Interesting. In our area of MA, near Worcester, McCain signs are outnumbering Obama signs, 5-3. I was wondering if this was just a local phenomenon.
The numbers are probably very different around Boston, though.
If I’m asked, I don’t mind telling who I am voting for. If somebody chooses to think I’m racist, that’s their problem. I don’t consider myself racist; I simply don’t want Obuma becoming president and tearing this country apart. I don’t believe he cares one iota about the USA.
I can report the same thing here on Cape Cod. Lots of McCain/Palin signs, few Obama signs (some Kerry/Obama combination signs) and not a lot of talk. Liberal does not even begin to describe where I live - about 5 miles as the crow flies from Teddy’s Hyannisport home.
