Alright here it goes. I have been staying away lately for fear that I wont be able to sleep this week after being all worked up about this election. These past 3 months I think have been the hardest emotionally for me. I have had to watch my tounge at work and that hasnt been an easy feat. okay Im going to offer a prayer right now for all of those who would like to join…

Dear God… PLEASE, PLEASE DONT LET THAT MOTHER TRUCKER OBAMA WIN THE ELECTION TODAY.
HE HAS EVERYTHING BUT THE HORNS.

Ok I said my peace. Ya’ll have a good day and no matter the outcome, Ill be here to tomorrow to complain or to celebrate!

I voted in East Lansing, MI, a college town (MSU), around 8:00a.m. There was about a 5 minute wait to vote. No one was waiting when I left. I suppose all the college kids voted early. They don’t get the day off from class.

Here in Gwinnett County, Georgia, my polling location looks like the line at a sporting event. WOW!

There are some vendors around making solid $$$ on drinks and food.

ST:

I wish to say Mea Culpa regarding my post earlier this morning.

Was there something going on today I was supposed to attend to?

It was meant only as tongue in cheek humor. This was the my first comment in quite some time after being a long time lurker. I came across your blog via LaShawm Barber’s blog a few years back, and was immediately drawn to you as another Thomas Sowell fan. Please accept my sincere apology and continue the fine work with your blog; it is truly a treat to read.
More on topic: I voted early this morning, long lines which I pray is a good sign for McCain/Palin.

Best,
Joseph (a Christian man of color, conservative in life and politics!)

I voted about 10 am in a very rural county in VA. Short lines. Took us about 15 minutes to get through and vote. They asked for IDs like they are supposed to. Heard a gaggle behind me talking about some email they’d sent each other about ‘socialism’ and mentioned how they wished they could chant “McCain” in the polling place. It was very very smooth in my part of the country.

No line to speak of here in south Jersey. Only one person ahead of me when I walked in around 11:15am.

Not sure whether that’s a good sign or not.

I see the “We support the troops, but not the mission.” liberals are at it again this election, eh? The Pentagon brass send out ballots late, the troops get them late and can’t get them back on time, so they should be tossed out. The troops risk their lives for us 24/7. They ought not have to worry about Gore and Obama throwing their votes down a Democrat sewer drain any time the opportunity arises.

I voted at 12:45pm Central time. Here in Rock Island County, Illinois, there was little to no wait. We were pushed through fast by the election employees. But I had long enough to say my prayers and remember why I was there.

This years election, for me, was a vote for morals and not for the economy, to make history, or for change. I would rather live in a shack than overlook my morals and my convictions.

Continue to pray for our country and leaders and know that whatever is handed to us tomorrow, is still in God’s hands.

ST asks: Is Philly the PA equivalent of Chi-town, IL?

It may be worse. In Chicago, I haven’t heard of any active attempts to prevent people from voting who might not vote the way the local Dems want. They just wait till the votes are counted, then add in the votes of as many dead people as they need to get the result they want. In Philly, there’s been no respect for election law for years. It’s been getting progressively worse over the last decade or so, and now the local machine has moved to physical intimidation to suppress turnout. The only surprise is that it took them this long.

That Black Panther situation is just plain depressing. That last thing we black folks need are stupid black folks spreading THAT image again. Damn!!!

I voted this afternoon at Carmel Presbyterian here in Charlotte and there were 8 machines and just 2 of us voting. Granted it was about 2:30 but in this heavily Republican district it made me nervous.

I walked in at the polls at 11:15. Walked out at literally 11:22. I was prepared for the wait. I guess people got out and voted early cause they were so excited. I saw a sign today a church today I passed coming home. It said that God would not give it to you unless he was going to be there to help you with it. That statement struck me odd on a day like today.
My prayer still stands from earlier this morning!

Be sure and read CNN’s take on the Black Panther at the polling site. It’s on their political ticker. It reads as follows:

(CNN) — A man wearing what appeared to be a black outfit with a beret and holding a nightstick was asked by police to leave a polling location in Philadelphia Tuesday, according to Philadelphia County Board of Elections Supervisor, Bill Rubin.

Notice anything missing?? There is not one mention of the Black Panther Party anywhere in the article. Keep it up CNN!! Report the “news” and truth be damned!!

Cathie Abookire, a spokewoman for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, says the office is not investigating the matter, calling it a “non-incident.” Abookire says, “We have had no complaints from any voters that they have been intimidated.”

Oh absolutely. I can only imagine the blood curdling howls from the left had 2 Klansmen been standing outside of a polling site in Alabama.

This is turning out to be one of the most terrifying years of our country’s history.

I am not buying that 15 point lead in PA exit poll.

One thing is certain – we do know that the polls are likely off, the only question is by how much.

A ~~man~~ gay clown wearing what appeared to be ~~a black outfit~~ his prom dress ~~with a beret~~ and holding ~~a nightstick…~~ his free pass to Gimmeville, strikes a pose.

There, fixed it…..editor must’ve passed out on his baton after a long gerbil training session.

Once again proving his entire worth and asking to get his butt kicked but, this poor oppressed nimrod wearing *what appears to be a black outfit* and matching gotcha shoes, will be the victim.

CNN: Here’s a clue. If the color is black, we call it black and even though you have a tough time being honest, it’s black and so is the joke wearing it.

The idiot needs to apologize to the T-Steel’s of this world and then check himself in for de-programming.

You will notice that the Florida numbers are tightening up as the votes are tallied from east to west.

So Obama calls them bitter and says they “cling” to their guns and religion, he promises to “bankrupt” coal mines, and Murtha calls them racist and redneck and Pennsylvania still goes for Obama.

They deserve everything they are about to get.

Ohio’s not looking too good either, this party could be over quite soon.

Well, Fox just called Ohio for Barack Hussein Obama; if that holds up, he’s won the election.
William Teach says:

November 4, 2008 at 9:27 pm

I was unbelievably blanking amazed at Fox calling Pa for Obama. Watching Fox, they call it with less then 1% of the vote in? Granted, as more comes in, maybe so. But, was completely irresponsible.

On CNN’s website, they were calling Maine for Obama with a grand total of 3 votes in. 3.

Called NJ for Obama (which is going to happen, of course,) with 0% of the vote in.

And there are a few states they are calling for McCain that they should have waited on to. Sure, he will probably take them, but, sheesh.

Fox called Michigan for Obama, when their tickers shows McCain up in the vote count 52-48. Huh?

And the MSM wonders why people do not trust them? I’m watching hockey right now, rather then screaming at the TV.
William Teach says:

November 4, 2008 at 9:29 pm

Oh, goody. Fox is calling New Mexico for Obama, while he is trailing 38% to McCain’s 61%. Huh? WTF?
Dana says:

November 4, 2008 at 9:31 pm

Ryan: I live in Pennsylvania, and I knew the state would go for Mr Obama. I talked to people who should have been McCain voters — decent income home owners — and some of them were going for Obama.

CafePress.com has “Impeach Obama” “Don’t blame me I voted for McCain” and “1/20/09: The nightmare begins” stickers. Already ordered mine!!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but did you see the girl on Fox News who was gleefully jumping up and down and exclaimed “This is so exciting!! If Obama wins I won’t have to put gas in my car or pay my mortgage anymore!!”

Talk about a letdown.

NC Cop, you said it better than I ever could. Ditto that, brother

I just got back from our local GOP party after spending the day northern Virginia. It was a day like no other.

The Democrats have imported numbers of people from heaven knows where. The most ominous – or just weird – ones are this bunch that goes around wearing black shirts that say “Election Protection” on it. They stay separate from the (other) Democrats and present themselves to people as neutral observers “to ensure a fair election.” We quickly outed them as Obama people. In some places they tried to go inside the 40 foot limit and into the polling area wearing these shirts. This is illegal, as each party is only allowed a maximum of 3 observers inside (which the Dems already have) and anyway you are NOT allowed to wear any campaign buttons, shirts, or stickers inside the marked off area. I know for a fact of at least one instance in which they did try to go inside and were turned away by the election officials (who are on top of the situation).

We caught on and had our Precinct Captains monitor them to make sure they didn’t try and intimidate voters or get inside the voting area.

Sweetness and Light blog says that “the so-called Election Protection watchdog operation is just another front for Norman Lear’s America-hating People For The American Way.” Big surprise

In addition, the Democrats have deluged the area with a phalanx of lawyers. All decked out in suit and tie, I have seen 2 or 3 at the larger precincts. We have our lawyers, but they’re “on call” and we don’t have them present at every or even most precincts.

Now, I know many of the local Democrats, they are very nice people, and I am on friendly terms with all of them. But these imports were something else. They were cold and unfriendly.

We are in so much trouble for the next 4 years!

Yeesh!
