I volunteer as a court-appointed advocate for abused kids here in Lubbock. I deal with the minorities on the north east side on a weekly basis — have had my car circled by emaciated crack whores like hyenas as I’ve gone searching for an AWOL mother. Grotesque. I’m telling you ACORN can register all these people they want, but they will not be able to get them out to vote. These mothers lay in bed behind cardboard-thin doors, so exhausted and high they won’t accept a free ride to CPS to visit their children who are waiting in tears to see them, or lift one finger to get them back — they’ll cry themselves to sleep over it, but they won’t do a damn thing to work a program and get them back, or even visit to check on them, write a note, place a phone call. They certainly will NOT turn out to vote. That is the Dem problem. If they can ever use their powers for good, and get these people cleaned up, then Republicans have a “problem” I’ll be happy to accept. Dem turnout % in Lubbock “may” be a little higher than usual (I predict it will be lower d/t more Republicans moving in plus a savage rage at the GALL of 0bama having the nerve to run in this election), but the numbers they are counting on will not materialize.
unfortunately they don’t need to get them out to vote, just follow up when they get their Absentee ballot and make sure they send it in.
all very sad.
and I also think the uptick in % is due to more ppl voting early - ok color me glass half empty.
