I don’t think we’re on the same page.

My post was intended to MOCK the very idea that his voters taking a day off of “work” would have ANY effect at all because a huge portion of them don’t even ~have~ jobs.

This could be a good thing. Employers would know exactly who to fire.

Why do the folks who support Hussein have to take a day off from work? They already stay home and collect their government welfare check.

How about a month off to vote?

Perhaps in a month the empty headed imbeciles who would join the American-hating communists to vote for Obomba might wake up before it's too late.

No one in our family gets time off to vote.

We vote early in the morning or after work.

Nice of your boss to give you time off.

I’m part of a home business now and my “boss” is just hubby.
It’s been a lot of years since I worked outside the home.

I don’t know if it’s the same now as it was back then, but in MD, it was mandatory to let employees take time off to vote.

Thanks to you and your family making the extra effort....:)

We vote. Nothing can stop us from voting.

Had a shock blizzard yesterday, no roads cleared,no power. Wonder what would have happened if it was election day.

The Dems would have stayed home and we’d win in a landslide?....:)

“NOBODY needs a FULL DAY TO VOTE!”

Have you ever tried going to 90 different polling places in your state and voting 90 times?

I reckon that *might* take a full day....:)

Bingo! Don't forget traveling to nearby states to vote as well. No darn wonder people in Detroit end up getting into line just as the polls are about to close.
