I just returned from my local poll in Virginia. In all my years here (19), this turnout was largest BY FAR. The longest line I ever remember was around 75 people. . .today, it was at least 500 and over an hour wait. I pray to God that this bodes well for Romney. Today, we will discover whether or not the adage "Its the economy, stupid" has been replaced with a new one "It's the HANDOUT, stupid!"
Heavy turnout in West Roanoke County this morning, very red district just west of Salem.
There are a lot of Vietnamese and some Afghans too. I remember the black Africans who told me they felt some native American blacks didn’t like them because they were not quitters.
Don’t forget pupusa. That’s a nice El Salvadoran food.
I live in East TN. We get to see the SW Virginia campaign ads. Tim Kaene has been running bold-faced lies regarding the coal industry for two weeks now. I tlaked to a guy at a gun shop in Bristol, VA who said he has lots of family in the coal field areas and they are fighting mad that the democrap party is airing such lies while the workers are being alid off because of Obama’s war on coal through the regulator czars he’s appointed to crush their lives.
They merged our precinct with another one to the East of us in a redistricting so we had some strangers there ~ but as usual, just about everybody was from somewhere else. These foreign guys from third world dictatorships vote in every election ~ ask 'em ~ they'll tell you it's a sacred duty.
Interesting.
Wow ... a Country that I had never heard of.
Then again it has been awhile since I was a world traveler
I remember when I went to Colombo the first time it was Ceylon, next time I was there it was Sri Lanka guess I’m a Geezer.
Thanks for the Geography lesson
TT
Our voting place was packed, too, in Bedford Co. Did you get to see Mitt yesterday? We did. Front row center & got to shake hands with him!
I just had a back-and-forth with a guy that says that waiting in a line is a form of voter suppression. I guess he never had to dodge mortars and step over dead bodies and avoid PSL fire but in his mind, just the mere idea of having to wait in line is enough to create the environment of voter suppression.
I hope he stays home.
Knowing what the Democrats can do with paper based systems I always select electronic.
There was enough of a crowd things were getting backed up, and the folks running the site would encourage people to come over to the paper ballot line to get through faster ~
That's a form of voter suppression ~ tricking them into using a system that will allow the Democrats to cheat.
They fell for it. This time they all had the Republican voting sheet in their hands. They really don't want to pay heafty fines and go to prison for screwing up a medical insurance form ~ just something so un-capitalist about that, and so Uber Dictatorship ~ and most of them know all about dictatorship.
Yes, I know.
I lived there when I was a senior executive an Israeli defense contractor. I went to the Pentagon every day.
It’s 99% dependent on government largess.
Might as well say that Fairfax County and Monkey County ( Montgomery ) of O’Malleyland are the same county in 2 different states.... same demographics... same BS.
Bet you spent your weekends with people from Bethesda.
Next time you'll want to venture Down I-95 ~ whole 'nuther world.
You have to be a racist to want to live in monkey county. You can't afford to do that in Fairfax.
Not particularly.
I went to the Chabad Shul on Shabbos Prince William (?) and then worked on Sunday.
I mainly hung out with Israeli ex-pats.
BTW, where I set is within a 10 minute drive. So, howdy neighbor!
Arlington and Alexandria are both leftwingtard impacted regions, but they are far more diverse than monkey county md. None of them hold a candle to Fairfax though.
