Finally Here!

MEANWHILE: from across town in one of those Democrat-controlled success stories
Well, the polls are slowly coming in but many more folks have yet to vote. I voted earlier this morning in my precinct and it went smoothly. We have a politically mixed precinct, but all were friendly, cordial and mutually helpful. Officials were also requesting ID's of voters, in accordance with state law. Of course, motor-voter may make some votes a little more shady. For example, one voter said she may have seen Vincente Fox coming out of one booth...
However I do offer three pieces of advice for any patriotic American who will be going in to vote today.
1. Smile and be friendly
2. Punch any Democrat/traitor-sponsored/bribed visiting UN observer you see at your poll in the face. (Well okay, just publicly berate them on every topic from politics to their ridiculous sense of fashion, to asking them how the elections in Cuba are going this year)
3. Find some friends and get ready to enjoy the election returns as they come in tonight

I smiled, was friendly, and zipped in and out in under ten minutes.
I picked the best time to go, really. ^^
Great pic! (looks familial).
Election note of dubious distinction: Dallas is now an international city: we have our first lesbian sheriff elected.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The reason people are in poverty is because there are no jobs, some people have to do what they have to do to survive. Bush wants people to make the minimum wage, stack up in projects like jenga blocks and live out their pathetic lives and hope they kill one another over drugs because they make minimum wage. There is a reason why this sign is posted outside of an Urban Project, they want out... they want a regular job like every other republican, they want to provide for their family.. they want much more than you are giving them. Quit being an ass and taking advantage of a "not clear" situation that you have no idea about. When you get a clue about how society is and once you grasp what losing everything you have, you'll never know the other side.
I appreciate your comments, DrArkane and I value your opinion.
First, let me address a few of your comments.
"The reason people are in poverty is because there are no jobs..."
And many companies large and small cannot hire because they are paying out the nose in taxes.
"they want much more than you are giving them."
Yes, and I'm sure if I left my front door unlocked they'd take it all :p. Your romanticism of the above-crackhouse must surely be due to a lack of sleep coupled with political grief.
But I think you're right on one point: If I were to "get a clue" as you put it, I would indeed never know the other side: the other side being middle-America, the folks who work hard and rise above their circumstances, despite the roadblocks put in place by accident or put in place by a co-dependent Democrat party looking to keep its base of a permanent underclass thriving as such, a party willing to manipulate the poor and uneducated into selling their souls and their opportunities for trite handouts and platitudes of misery.
Sadly, those in the MSM, Hollywood, academia and other elites (who are utterly politically autistic and morally blind) don't and probably can't get it. My challenge to you, DrArkane is to rise above the herd which follows them, before you too fall off the cliff to which they are leading you. The rest of us got it yesterday and I hope you can join us in the land of the living.
"And many companies large and small cannot hire because they are paying out the nose in taxes."
--While this maybe true, let's look at the bigger picture and take the blinders off. Why are companies large and small paying higher taxes and hiring less. Wow, I think I see it.. I think it's because of the money that we are spending on this "war", I think it's to cover expenses. I think this avenue you've cleared needs more clarification before you decide to spew more and think that you are right on this account.
"Yes, and I'm sure if I left my front door unlocked they'd take it all :p. Your romanticism of the above-crackhouse must surely be due to a lack of sleep coupled with political grief."
--My door is mostly unlocked. I don't have a fear of the "black man" coming in and taking everything I have. I'm not consumed with fear that I suspect everyone around me to be a terrorist. The above pictured crack-house is a permanent reminder to you that this country needs a change. People turn to drugs and alcohol when they hit troubled times, it's a natural known fact. While when I hit bottom, I didn't choose that route, I chose another. And while my chosen route is working, I still see poverty at eye level. I think the point i'm trying to make here is this. Once you've been there, you don't want to go back and if the signs are pointing you back you fight like hell to get back ahead.
See I think you are blaming the Democratic party for America's hardships. You may be on the wrong track, or someone has told you the wrong thing and made it sound believable and for this, I don't hold you responsible. I don't want to become part of the herd, I'd like to think of myself as being in control of my own destiny and net worth. I will never succumb to the republican party not for one instant, because the morals and values expressed by the GOP tell me that I cannot live that way. I will not live that way, and I will fight to my last breath to preserve what this country stands for. Not some silly slogan or rally speech saying "Let's Roll" when really they mean "Let's Rule". I don't subscribe to hear-say or common denominators. I don't "Roll" with the Pack, especially the republican pack. I have my own set of morals and beliefs and Kerry was closer to my morals and beliefs than Bush was. That's Why I vote, I vote because I can make a difference through my morals and beliefs, not some Water-cooler descision made because I was forced into thinking some other alternate reality.
"--While this maybe true, let's look at the bigger picture and take the blinders off. Why are companies large and small paying higher taxes and hiring less. Wow, I think I see it..

I think this avenue you've cleared needs more clarification before you decide to spew more and think that you are right on this account."
Then if I am correct in understanding you, you are stating that neither taxes nor poverty existed before the war in Iraq?
"--My door is mostly unlocked. I don't have a fear of the "black man" coming in and taking everything I have."
It would seem you have somehow given in to some unknown stereotypical assumption about races of people and in particular that of mine, once again a reminder of which political group keeps a racial scorecard.
"The above pictured crack-house is a permanent reminder to you that this country needs a change."
Change has to come from within. As an adult, nobody can make you stop your self-destructive behaviors in any genuine way. Just ask any recovered alcoholic.
"People turn to drugs and alcohol when they hit troubled times, it's a natural known fact. While when I hit bottom, I didn't choose that route, I chose another."
Exactly: you had a choice to make and you made it. We are all given that choice and we are all responsible for the individual ones we each make.
"I think the point i'm trying to make here is this. Once you've been there, you don't want to go back and if the signs are pointing you back you fight like hell to get back ahead."
Amen: that's the American way. The President or big government can't help you make your life and earn your self-respect. Only you can do that.
"See I think you are blaming the Democratic party for America's hardships. You may be on the wrong track, or someone has told you the wrong thing and made it sound believable and for this, I don't hold you responsible."
I blame the Liberal wing of the Democrat party for unhealthy behavior- for encouraging people to yield to their lesser instincts and fall short of their potential as valuable, talented people, though it does not excuse those people for choosing to succumb to that encouragement.
I am glad to hear you don't prefer giving in to alternate realities, but I question you on a perhaps deeper level - how you have come to observe your current moral valueset and whence those values came, if they came from some place other than from your personal decision to follow a self-constructed valueset, which is in part more fashionable these days, derived or was synthesized from experiences in your personal sphere and/or from moral sensibilities arbitrarily propagated down from others pre-delineated.
Great comments.
