This Is Going To Be Ugly

TPM:

The Wisconsin GOP is currently recruiting “Milwaukee area veterans, policeman, security personnel and firefighters to work as poll watchers on election day at inner city polling places.”

I am so looking forward to Wednesday morning, November 5.

    They’re obviously going to try to intimidate voters away from the polls; you can be certain some racist groups will even show up to provide actual physical intimidation. Meanwhile, McCain’s campaign needs to be reported to the FBI and Secret Service for deliberately inciting violence against a US Senator in their toxic robocalls and new pamplets. This is, in fact, a crime. This has gone beyond “tough campaign” tactics into the realm of illegal slander and direct threat to a public official. A civil suit needs to be launched, and the authorities need to stop sitting on the sidelines and call an end to this immediately, and perhaps begin making arrests within the McCain campaign. No, I’m not kidding.

    I don’t see how they can do this. Under what authority can a person, other than the actual poll workers, be appointed (and by whom) to question a voter?

    May I ask, are they volunteers? And if so, they should be off the clock and not wearing uniforms.

    And do you mean to tell me that there are absolutely NO Obama supporting firefighters or policemen in Milwaukee?!

    “Velociraptor Home Protection Kit”You mean I think I’m ready for whatever goes down and find out I don’t even know the meaning of what sounds like the most important thing?

    Don’t worry Bob. We’re on the case up here. There are 15 attorneys from my firm alone volunteering to make sure none of this nonsense works.And there are plenty of Obama supporting firefighters and policemen in MKE. They may have to import the raving douchenozzle’s from neighboring Waukesha to try to disenfranchise people.

    I say if we can’t Work Up a Number Six on these racist Republican fuckholes, we pull another Blazing Saddles stunt: Reproduce the entire town in which these suppression tactics are being used, populate them with cardboard cut-outs of actual voters, wait for them to descend in their Gay Cop Uniforms and with billy-sticks akimbo, then have the Waco Kid squeeze one off and blow the dynamite. End of problem.Plus, someone’s got to go back to camp and gitta shitload’a dimes!

    This will be the saddest day in American History. We can only hope that the courts of our great country will side with law. I have been to spain, mexico, bc, ireland, costa rica, moraco(only 5 hours away from cadiz, spain) and the state of the earth has become more and more volatile every year. Peace may be the last step toward real war on earth, but I refuse to comprehend it in that manner. If Obama wins legitimately, to all americans, then we will have the political capital to truly revive peace on earth. If we cannot use this tool then we will begin the downward spiral toward the unimaginable. I fear that it will not be a joke, but a reality.

    @Elvis – Good God, I went to bed and missed an entire Blazing Saddles scene. Ya know, Ed, it just might work. These are simple people, the common clay of the earth. You know…morons.

    Sarah Palin’s recent comments to a crowd about “Pro-American parts of the country” is confirmation that the Republican Party has always been adept and evily clever at pitting one segment of America society against the other in a “divide and conquer” rule. They are the party of Division! I am so glad they are being found out!However in a call to “national unity” it was a Wise and Judicious Barack Obama in 2004 who spoke these Uniting words in regards to America’s oneness and what we can be:”Even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America; there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. The pundits, the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States: red states for Republicans, blue States for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach little league in the blue states and, yes, we’ve got some gay friends in the red states.” –Obama, 2004.It should be a crime against the “good” of the American Public and a Betrayal of the Public Trust for McCain and Republicans to be able to get away with obvious lies and distortions by false and misleading Robocalls which try to link an 8 year old Barack Obama with acts committed by Ayers over 30 years ago. It is down right dishonest, dishonorable and misleading. There should be laws against this type of unethical behavior to knowing lie and mislead for gain. This is like one lying on their Resume when applying for a job. It is moraly wrong and unethical!As for Joe the Plumber who lied to Barack when he falsely said, “I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes $250,000 to $280,000 a year,” “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” when it has been reported that Joe makes $45,000 a year and owes back taxes! This is the very middle-class person Barack Obama’s tax plan would help! And Joe the Plumber belies the fact that if one has $250,000.00 dollars to invest in a business, and because he has to pay his fair share of taxes, he is unable to Purchase that business, he is just plain greedy because middle-class people deserve a break especially now after 8 years of paying more than their fair share while the rich got away scott free and devastated the economy to boot!
