You should have told him to be sure to vote for Obama, but before pressing the "Vote" button, to also vote for Obama's Vice-President, Ralph Nader... :0)
Funny how the tales of Republican ‘vote suppression’ always boil down to some local yokel printing fliers that tell people ‘Remember to vote on Wednesday!’ or some such. While this is illegal and I do not support the tactic or the mindset behind it...
How f’ing stupid do you have to be for this to be effective in confusing you?
Tales of vote suppression and vote fraud always center around profoundly unintelligent citizens and whether the Dems are successful or not in bussing, scaring, cajoling, paying or simply stealing their identity to get their ‘vote to count.’ To me, forcing a vote is as bad or worse than ‘suppressing’ a vote. You couldn’t keep me from my polling place if you tried. But after reading, considering, debating and deciding who to vote for and getting myself to the booth; my vote is then cancelled out by someone handed $10 or some smokes and herded into a van while being told who to vote for. Depressing. Infuriating.
