There should be voting booths at every US military base in the world. Use your uniform as your ID if necessary.Active duty military personnel should be permitted to vote absentee under any and all circumstances. That way if they are deployed on election day or immediately before (as Sinkmeister did on purpose to some units) they still get to vote.

No matter what - we need a huge voter turnout to counter their tricks, their crimes, and their fraud. We can and we MUST be victorious!
I wondered about some unionized USPS workers in Florida who just might have been veerrry slooow to send forward entire bags of mail from overseas military around the time of the election....maybe even "lost" some.
Oh, there is something wrong with them all right. I guess we could all begin to list the ways, but we would be typing all day.
Many Liberals hate the military out of their own guilt and cowardice. I am convinced of this.
When I heard Clinton's "I'll grab a rifle, jump in a ditch and fight for Israel" comment, he reminded me of my old neighbor in Virginia.
I told the story on the Sunday Talk thread a while back, but here it is again: A bunch of us in the neighborhood were having a beer one Sunday after mowing our lawns. Four of us homeowners were chewing the fat--all of us vets, except the ex-hippy next door.
My neighbor down the street started telling a story of how he flew off aircraft carriers during the Korean War, and made crack about my neighbor (he did this because the ex-hippy was making faces and rolling his eyes).
I forget the ribbing the Korean vet gave the ex-hippy, but he struck a raw nerve. The ex-hippy chugged his beer, got all red-faced and said: "You know, it took a lot more guts for me to go to Cananda and stick with my principles fella!"
I hope all of you roundly told your ex-hippy neighbor to take a hike! What a bunch of bull pucky. The only thing most of those 'runners' to Canada had in their veins was an influx of adrenaline spawned by their cowardly fear. Courage my tush!
