We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
ELECTION DAY!! DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE!!
In 2000, it was decided that Democrats should vote on Wednesday. Not enought took advantage of that offer, so this year, to cut down on lines in polling places, something new will be tried.
Through special arrangement with certain folks in Canada - who, because of the extent of their magnanimity wish to remain nameless - it is now possible to dedicate special polling places just for the use of Democrats.
Democrats, think of this as your own special voting district. Republicans are to vote in the United States - no Republicans whatsover will be allowed to vote in Canada today.
On the other hand, Democrats should take the opportunity to drive north of the border and vote there. No lines - gone will be the complaints of having to wait to vote. No polling monitors - you can vote as many times as you want. You will be able to come home refreshed with the knowledge that you were able to cast thousands, even tens of thousands of votes for your candidate - and no one will so much as hassle you.
So don't delay. The north beckons. If you are a Democrat, hop in your car, drive north, cross the border, and vote. In fact, so good is this program, there are Republicans who will be more than glad - once they have cast their vote in America, because this special offer is not open to them - to drive you and other voting age (in other words, anyone who can recognize a crayon) members of your family (you will have to make your own arrangements to transport dead people) into Canada to your special polling places. (This offer, however, is only one way - you will have to make your own arrangements to return to America).
Democrats - Canada. That's where your vote should be.
[Good only on November 5, 2002. Not good with any other offer, and may not be exercised by Republicans. Offer applies to any definition of family that may be provided by a card carrying Democrat. For further details, see the back of your Rice Krispies box - they might be there. Certain other restrictions apply. No actual guarantee of voting ability is made or warranted. No ballots will be cast on behalf of the Democrat voter by the Republican. If, in fact, you are a Democrat, and you could not actually vote in Canada, complaints will be taken on November 4, 2002. No Canadians were harmed during the preparation of this offer.]
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Zogby has Thune up 52-47 over Tim Johnson. Daschle is running scared.
See post #8. Also see Drudge.
Whining big time....
Rush pointed out the date on the statement.....it seems it was written LAST NIGHT ....but released now....
Now how did they know about the voting problems ......a day ahead of time......HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
What are they going to do after the President's re-election?
It is simple most of the really contested races in this election are being run on traditional Democrat TURF. Can you say Mo, MN, SD, New Jersey? Define Democrat turf. Define where the contests are.
When the FIGHT IS OVER DEMOCRAT TURF, then really big Democrat Democrats are an asset.
This is an off year election and most races in contest are being fought on Democrat turf.
When you are playing Atomic Bombs with Japan over Hiroshima... even a draw is a huge victory.
Should we have some kind of congratulatory celebration when we hit 500 posts today?
Besides, I like to listen to Racicot and he is nice-looking...an elegant man, IMHO.
MacAwful releases the following statement:
``The tactics being used around the country to intimidate voters and suppress voter turnout are nothing less than despicable.
``We have seen 'anonymous' fliers displayed in predominantly African American communities in Baltimore, MD, with an incorrect Election Day date, warning voters to make sure their parking tickets are paid, their rent is not overdue, and they take care of any outstanding warrants before they go vote.
``A spokesman for the Maryland Republican candidate for Governor Bob Ehrlich was quoted saying their campaign plans include deploying off-duty police officers as poll watchers on Election Day.
``In Hidalgo County, TX a Republican poll monitor for Republican Senate candidate John Cornyn had to be escorted out of the polling place by law enforcement for harassing senior Hispanic voters and using derogatory language.
``In New Hampshire, an owner and landlord of several so-called ``Section 8'' housing developments sent letters urging his hundreds of elderly and disabled tenants to vote for Republican John Sununu for U.S. Senate, stating ominously that only through Sununu's efforts were the tenants ``assured'' that they could ``continue to remain in [their] home.
``Democrats will not stand idly by while Republican operatives try to strip voters of their most basic right. Too many people have fought and died for the right to vote.
``Mr. President, do not let our election process fall prey to dirty political shenanigans once again. Tell your Republican party operatives to cease their voter intimidation practices and let Americans exercise their right to vote free of harassment and intimidation..."

I'm sensing initial exit polling data are not good for the demodummies.
