The Dems vote early in the day because they have no jobs to go to.
I voted absentee (Georgia) by Federal Express to be sure my vote arrived before the Ice Age (Canada Post is very unreliable) and I'm up here in Canada hoping that everyone will take care of business down south.
Had an interesting conversation in the elevator at work the other day. A woman who heard I had voted for Bush said that I was the only Ex Pat she had talked to who was voting Bush. A couple of questions established that her American friends were draft dodgers. "Well, that explains it," I told her, "they moved here because they hate America. I moved here because I like Canada." She conceded she had not thought of it that way before and looked impressed.
It's odd that Canadians tell me all the time that Americans don't know anything about Canada (when I point out the difficulties of socialism) yet feel qualified 100% to tell me what is wrong with the USA -- where plenty of them have never been!
Hey, lots of people vote before work. Why be up early if you're not going to work?
Actually, the RATs vote late so they know who to impersonate.
Canadians are simply unarmed Americans with lousy healthcare.
There are some Canadians like me who travel a lot in the USA (just came back from Virgina Beach a few weeks ago) and Canada who thoroughly agree with your comments. In fact I have met much more friendly folks in Virgina and South Carolina compared to some parts of Toronto. Oddly, I also find a lot of Americans who actually know a lot about Canada.
I also voted via FedEx (Colorado) early October. Don't know where you are but out here in Edmonton we have a ton of expats like me who really know which is the only choice – B/C04.
Not too many liberals out here in Alberta. I know of plenty of Albertans who support Bush…. not much love for those left wing, pabulum pucking, red rose, snivelling liberals.
We are planning a lovely party this evening in Edmonton. We have to hold it in my house because no bar / lounge will allow us to switch from the beloved sports to the only news of the day.
Enjoy the day. Vote early and vote often.
