Listen, it wouldn't matter if we had a pic of Obama in a....

...turban with a machine gun. Ignorant people do not care! He is their paycheck. Period.

He's black and gives them money. Period. Nothing else matters.

Facts about his questionable ties, refusal to produce a birth certificate, lack of experience or anything else simply doesn't matter to these people. We could have pictures of him with a donkey and they'd STILL vote him in.

amen!

[Carlene Prince]

WELL SAID!

I agree with you. All I know is that we as Christians need to pray and [url]get off out butts and go vote[/url]. My husband and I did the early voting thing is Tennessee last Saturday, we stood in line for over an hour---there were a lot of people there both Republics and Demarcates, both young and old, black and write, rich and poor. We cannot afford not to get out and vote this time!

Sorry, Dear. I got carried away.

Shellie, you are so right. I realized weeks ago that the kool-aid has been consumed, and the bodies laid down for the man to be President.

Well.........looky here .....the polls are calling it almost dead even......

Now I think we really do have a chance.

Dewey and Truman
• Mike W., Poquoson: Thomas E. Dewey was supposed to be a cinch to win over Harry S. Truman in the 1948 presidential election. Time and space available, could you print the famous photo of Truman showing the early headline "Dewey wins by landslide," after Truman won the election.

Editor: That photo of Truman hoisting the Chicago Tribune is well enough known that running it is unnecessary, though the actual headline was "Dewey Defeats Truman." But we'll consider it, as you suggest, against other material that craves the space. As you note, Dewey was way ahead in the pre-election polls.

State, feds investigate fake voter info flier
The bogus notice says "emergency regulations" require Democrats to vote Wednesday, instead of on Election Day.

HAMPTON - — Some local Democrats spoke out Tuesday after a fake flier was circulated this week that looked like a notice from the state Board of Elections telling people "emergency regulations" require Republicans to vote on Tuesday and Democrats to vote Wednesday.

Congressman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott, a Newport News Democrat, stood at a lectern outside the Hampton Voter Registrar's Office, 1919 Commerce Drive, at noon Tuesday and chastised the "fraudulent" misinformation.

"There are so many new voters this year. ... It doesn't take many voters confused and not voting to make a difference," Scott said, flanked by some members of Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

The flier has been circulated by fax, and an Obama supporter brought a copy into the Hampton Obama campaign office at 1040-D Settlers Landing Road. Sgt. Michelle Cotten, a spokeswoman for Virginia State Police, said the flier is being investigated by state police and federal agents. She would not specify which federal agency is looking into the matter.

When asked if anyone might believe that Democrats should vote after Election Day, Scott said even 1 in 100 is too many. He pointed to the race two years ago for a Virginia seat on the U.S. Senate. In that race, Democrat Jim Webb had 1,172,538 votes to Republican George Allen's 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236.

Sorry, but I don't think trying to disenfranchise people, no matter who does it, is funny. Everyone, most informed to the least informed, has the right to make their voice heard whether we agree with them or not.

I pray you're right!

[MacUser]

Shellie you are exactly right.. but we don't need them.. we need those few undecided individuals that make there minds up at the last minute.

But we do have an uphill battle already from Acorn's voting DEAD, Goldfish and Cartoon Characters that apparently support Obama.

[dolfan]

I've already been disappointed that Sheriff Taylor supports Obama; now, if Bugs Bunny comes out as an Obamite, I'll be devastated. Maybe, just maybe the Three Stooges (no, not Reid, Pelosi & Obama) will at least not vote this time.

[sweetpea]

Yep,I thought Andy had more sense than he is showing with support for Obama.

While I agree with you about disliking any attempt to artificially supress the right to vote, it bothers me to no end that the right to vote is extended to the stupid.

I watch the idiots on J-walking and think they are faking it, except that there are so many of them. I also bang my head against the wall when I see some of the stupid emails I get about Obama's birth certificate, his middle name, and the like. I get equally dismayed by the utter ignorance of some of the Obama supporters who can't even tell you one of his policies or who his running mate is.

How about letting me devise a simple, basic pass/fail test that becomes page one of the ballot... get more than 50% and you can vote; get less than half right, and "Thanks for coming. See ya."?



Some basic intelligence questions any voter should be able to ace:
• Who is the current Vice President of the U.S.
• If something tragic happened and both the President and Vice President were killed, who (name them) would be third in line to assume the Presidency?
• T or F: The person who gets the most total individual votes for President wins.
• Name the 3 branches of our federal government: we'll spot you the first one -- "Executive" Now name the OTHER two.
• Can you vote in this election whether you are officially a U.S. citizen or not, if you have lived in this state for more than one year?
• Name one member of the Congressional delegation that represents your place of residence.

Good luck.
