Learned today one of my son's teachers told him that in a mock election he HAD to vote for Kerry.
Georgia Freeper eyespysomething is a poll watcher and has so far turned in two REPUBLICANS! One had a W '04 shirt on and another had a local Republican candidate shirt on. She made the point that she can't in good conscience let Republicans slide and call Dem violators. Meanwhile, the NAACP has signs up that read: "Keep the dream alive, vote democrat" with a photo of MLK. And eyespysomething's fellow poll watcher (who missed both Republicans) is wearing an NAACP T-shirt.
I didn't actually "turn them in", one had to zip up their jacket and the other had to turn his shirt inside out.
The funny thing is they both went right past the NAACP person, and he didn't catch it. Sheesh. I waited outside for the guy with the W04 shirt on, and invited him to join the local GOP, gave him the webaddress. Hopefully he will.
The poll manager had contacted the SOS office early this a.m. in regards to the NAACP shirts. It was sprung without warning, and she felt it was a political advertisement, as the NAACP makes no bones about who they support, or at least don't support. She said if one more person complained, she would make them turn the shirts inside out.
I don't think they will be allowed to wear shirts displaying NAACP at the next election.
One more thing, the NAACP gentleman I was talking to, who was very nice BTW, was complaining that they had to be non-partisan in giving rides to the polls, as he was doing later. I wanted to ask him how he knew who people were going to vote for in the first place, but didn't. I will bring this up at our next GOP steering committee meeting though.
Sorry for the long post.
Go Bush!!
