Sorry Donna
RYMB !!!
It's raining here in Marietta, Ga. I sense a rainy GOP victory today ........
Everyone - get out and vote or we'll get more of this:
In our brave new schools, Johnny can't say the pledge, but he can recite the Quran. Yup, the same court that found the phrase "under God" unconstitutional now endorses Islamic catechism in public school.
A Clinton appointed judge ruled in California's 9th Circuit Court that it's okay for kids to be forced to recite aloud Muslim prayers that begin with "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful . . . ."
Memorizing the Muslim profession of faith: "Allah is the only true God and Muhammad is his messenger."
Chanting "Praise be to Allah" in response to teacher prompts.
Professing as "true" the Muslim belief that "The Holy Quran is God's word."
Giving up candy and TV to demonstrate Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.
Designing prayer rugs, taking an Arabic name and essentially "becoming a Muslim" for two full weeks.
Parents of seventh-graders, who after 9-11 were taught the pro-Islamic lessons as part of California's world history curriculum, sued under the First Amendment ban on religious establishment. They argued, reasonably, that the government was promoting Islam.
But a federal judge appointed by President Clinton told them in so many words to get over it, that the state was merely teaching kids about another "culture."

"Another explanation is that Democrats are more likely to be what political scientists call “peripheral voters,” people casually interested in politics who don’t feel compelled to vote in every election.
Their decision about voting is more likely to be influenced by outside factors such as rain."
In other words, Democrats tend to be lazy and uninformed. Tell me something I DON'T know.
Maybe even Savannah GA - Pick up a couple of Democratic seats !
I've been saying this for weeks, and maybe today will prove me wrong, but the "average" Democratic voter is not energized by this election, at least not in my neck of the woods.
I live in a heavily Dem neighborhood. Every year, signs and more signs for every Dem candidate on the ballot are staked out in yards.
This year, there are signs, but only for a local school board race which is non-partisan. I've seen as many Crist signs as Davis signs in our neighborhood. It's very strange, but I'm hoping it's a foreboding of the reality that Dems won't be turning out en masse.
I'll know later today. Usually there are lines, and since my son is voting early this AM before his classes, hubby is voting at lunch and I'm voting in the afternoon, we'll have a pretty good idea of turnout.
Looks like Rove has the old rainmaking machine warmed up. LOL!
Hey, I'm gonna vote. Pubbie.
And I won't be going in a limo, BTW :)
I live in Marietta, too. I also sense a strong victory!
too bad I just voted here in Cleveland and it started raining about a half hour prior to the polls opening. Let it rain all day until 7:30.
Nothing could make me happier than the MSM being forced to admit that "Democrat Wave" they've been measuring was really just a mirage. It's just an echo chamber created by the 20% of voters who make up the angry, outrageous, blasphemous, trash-mouth Left.
Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to measure how many DU-types stayed home pounding their keyboards because they didn't want to get wet?!!
These people shouldn't be allowed to vote.
It passed over the Alabama Gulf Coast yesterday.
HARD downpours lasted about 3 hours. Light rain on and off all day long. Believe me, it was bad enough to discourage any but the most dedicated voters (and we know who we are!).
That used to be true in the past, but it simply isn't anymore. That was firmly put to rest in '04, and there are more Republicans than Democrats in America now.
