>>but the sanctity of the polling place is sacrosanct

In other words, only Democrats can campaign on those hallowed grounds.

You know...up until the 1960s...folks dressed up in nice clothing to vote. I remember my dad making a comment once of guys wearing ties and jackets when they went over to vote. Today? You could see a gal in a tube top...flip flops....and some skimpy skirt...acting in the interest of democracy.

John Cena lives here in beautiful Land O’Lakes, Florida ( www.LandOLakesFLA.com ) and when John goes anywhere around here, he get anything he wants, we love him here. And to think he would rather be in High Tax Connecticut over no income tax FLA is just crazy. We do have Marco and his friend Sarah coming to Orlando this afternoon (and maybe the big NRA Dinner tonight?!?)

Awwww, but it is perfectly acceptable for Chewbacca and Sheila Jackson Lee to campaign and harrass voters in the polling place. Got it!

So if someone wears a WWE t-shirt to a polling place, what exactly do they think will happen?
Will the image of John Cena trigger a subliminal response to vote Republican?

I wonder how these purblind idiots would react if someone went in wearing a "WWF" item? After all, those initials now stand for the ever so eco-friendly "World Wide Fund for Nature", but those initials were formerly used by the "World Wrestling Federation" prior to an agreement for a name change by the latter.

So, If I went into a CT Polling Station with a T-Shirt just having a "WWF" printed tastefully upon it, I wonder how upscale the reaction would be? Just a thought ...

In other words, if one person has WWF on their shirt and a Republican wins, the whole election will be thrown out.

But when criminal thugs harass and threaten White voters, the “justice” department gives them a free pass.

A clear case of the government's boot on the neck...

It works BOTH ways. A good law, in my opinion.

Houston woman's Obama T-shirt serves as voting 'dress code' reminder

HOUSTON -- A voter who went to the polls Thursday at an early voting location south of the Texas Medical Center served as this mid-term election’s reminder to keep your politically themed clothing at home.

"This is ridiculous,” Tamika Francis told 11 News as she stood outside the Fiesta grocery store at Main and Kirby, where she had just been denied the right to vote.

“That’s not going to roll with me. Is it going to roll with you?” she asked her mom, who had traveled to the polling location with her.

The problem is that Francis was wearing a 2008 Obama election shirt. It has photos of the first family during the campaign accompanied by the phrase “Our President Obama.” The presiding elections judge told her she could not vote, nor could she help her disabled mother vote, until she either turned the shirt inside out or covered it up to hide the message and photos.

Now wearing a privately run company’s gear is political paraphernalia?

Panther gear optional. Clear attempt at voter intimidation. No low is too low for a Democrat.

Lets see then...wearing a Cross would also be prohibited because of the anti-abortion anti “Progressive” sentiment it portends. This government MUST be changed.

That’s funny because in 2008 there were a couple of stupid college slackers sporting che guevara t-shirts to the polls - and there is no closer identification than the one between che and zero.

It’s not “Voter Suppression”, we’re just not going to let you vote.

When we said “Free speech”, we didn’t mean for you.

Now pay your taxes I need a raise. :)
