It's Election Day...

I seem to recall quite a few "conservatives" who have spent considerable time telling us...TELLING US...that this day would not arrive. These folks also surmised there would be no debates. Others insisted indictments were right around the corner.

Well...there were 3 debates...we don't have martial law...and no indictments have been forthcoming...and it's election day.

I'll be heading out first thing...our polls open at 7...and my spot is two blocks away.

Seems conservatives might not be the only ones who are guilty of paranoid hyperbole:


Evidence That Bush Will Cancel Elections & Declare Martial Law

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

A 'national emergency' will provide Bush the raw power he needs to cancel the elections and hold on to even greater executive power. Over the course of his criminal and illegitimate regime, George W. Bush has assumed powers that in cases of a 'national emergency' make of him an absolute ruler beyond the powers of the Congress or the Courts. It has all been locked up rather neatly and planned well in advance. A 'decider' by self-proclamation, Bush conveniently 'decides' what is and what is not a 'national emergency. He is the sole arbiter.

It is time to think about the "unthinkable."


The Bush Administration has both the inclination and the power to cancel the 2008 election.

Bush administration takes steps to cancel US election
By the Socialist Equality Party
13 July 2004
The request by Bush administration officials for a detailed analysis of the legal steps that would be necessary to postpone the 2004 election represents an implicit threat to abrogate the US Constitution, dispense with democratic rights, and establish a dictatorship based on the military and police. This is the desperate action of a deeply discredited and unpopular regime that fears, not merely electoral defeat, but an explosion of social and political unrest in the United States.

I'm sure there were some who thought Clinton might do it as well. And Bush Sr.

The point being, neither side has moral high-ground here, although some might prefer you think otherwise.


Have a Blessed day.

Right...and the failure of the left was mirrored, 8 years later...by those on the right.

Thanks for your always unessential input.

Outstanding. Good morning sir.

Good morning sir. How about a report on the activity there after your ballot is cast?

When I finished, the line was about 20 deep...and that would only be a 10 minute wait, if that. There are 9 booths...which aren't really necessary, but serve as the table for marking our new paper ballots. The ballot is not huge, POTUS, Senate and Rep plus just a few charter amendments and Judge retention concerns.

My wife will be heading over shortly and I'll get further info from her.

There were no politickers and no contention in the slightest...and I cannot recall such an absence previously.

You're welcome Craig. I think it's important to set the record straight, although I acknowledge some prefer it not be done.
 
okay, there's still time to post my Trump joke.
after tonight it won't be as funny.

Trump seems to view women as puppets. that would explain why he's always trying to stick his hand up there.

:)

I have no problem with revisiting the paranoid failures in the past that then reflect on the continuing insanity of the various posters here on PJ rather more recently than 2004...as they failed to see how the paranoia they made fun of 8 or 12 years ago...would simply play out again in the same way.

Great. I agree.

And we'll likely see more of the same from both sides at some point. For a few, when they don't get their way, they lose their mind a little bit. It really doesn't have as much to do with political leanings as it does with an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

When this election is over, we're quite likely to have a President that about half of the country believes is a disaster (and, however it turns out, will probably be correct in that assessment), and will believe it's a national catastrophe, or some such other hyperbole. The truth is, at least for me, is that we've had bad Presidents before, we'll have them again, and life will go on despite it all.

As my father once counseled, sometimes you don't get your way, and that's okay. None of this is a big deal, and I hope most people get that.
 
Wife reports no line...total time, 16 minutes. A few signs added, no politickers.

Who are these people? Something tells me this is a product of your age addled old hippy thinking.

Is the shitty economy a failure of the left?

Or is it still Bush's fault? When do leftists get to take responsibility for their actions?

I wouldn't call pointing out your hypocrisy unessential. It's necessary, in fact, to expose you as the DNC stooge you are.
