1. Proud to be the first rec! Nice work.

[Hissyspit]

2. Yes, but I am third.

And three is the magic number.

[Lochloosa]

3. But 5th gets it to the Greatest

[BlueCaliDem]

4. Proud to be the seventh rec. eom

[JohnnyRingo]

5. Amen

With all their carping about steadfast ideals, liberals dig the grave for all of us by convincing the lazy and indifferent that voting is a waste of time.

There are far more democrats than republicans in this country. The problem is that we don't vote. An uneducated redneck republican would walk five miles to the polls in a driving blizzard limping with an accidental self inflicted gunshot wound if necessary.

19. I'm a Liberal

And I've never discouraged anyone from voting. And I think there are probably many Liberals like me.

[JohnnyRingo]

33. I'm sure "liberal" was a poor choice of wording.

I'm more concerned with those who are so sorely disappointed with any pol to the right of Dennis Kucinich they take to the forum with angered rhetoric that lumps those politicians in with the republican right. Certainly if that's true, I can see why so many democrats find little reason to cast a vote, and that was my point.

I should have referred to steadfast ideologues who call ethical treason at the first whisper of compromise for the sake of campaign and efficient governance.

I'm sorry I painted with such a carelessly broad brush. I consider myself well left of center, probably seen by most as a liberal as well.

38. Thank you

for the clarification.

[chervilant]

21. I've never known a 'liberal' to

"dig the grave for all of us by convincing the lazy and indifferent that voting is a waste of time."

However, I've heard many a conservative denigrate liberals with this type of smear. Please don't join them in slamming liberals.

[IronLionZion]

27. I'm wary of anyone here putting forth too much effort to discourage voting

they may not be as liberal as they claim to be

[stage left]

6. I hate, hate,hate the "both parties are the same" line.

I hear it all the time down here, spoken by people who claim to be independent, but who are really Republican. I mean why would you defend Republicans if you're not one? I'll be at the polls tomorrow. Wild horses couldn't keep me away.

[johnnyrocket]

9. Yep, and the pundits keep pushing it too, pisses me off. Lazy reporting.

Report what these parties actually stand for, they are stark, and profound.

[geardaddy]

7. Where's the googly-eyed homunculus in that picture?

[alterfurz]

8. "If you're too disillusioned to vote, that's kinda what they want...

...I'm too disillusioned to not vote." -- John Fugelsang

[Fred Sanders]

13. The entire tone of CNN today is a "why bother", stay at home, vote if you want, but.........

Apparently the electorate is on the fence between the bat shit crazy anti-science religious kooks and corporate mass control, or science or reason, protecting the environment and more fairness.

14. Ballot goes in, trash goes out.

[central scrutinizer]

10. undecided?

To put them (undecided voters) in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?


--David Sedaris--

16. "Well, we had a choice of chicken, or fish."

"Yes, I remember. I had lasagna."

--Leslie Nielsen, undecided (Canadian) voter

(NB: The above is what happens if you eat the rotten fish. AKA vote GOP.)

[stage left]

20. +1

Really? If you're confused then you're not paying attention.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. I would have put the Koch Brothers in front....

But then,...I've considered having them on a pedestal with all the GOP worshiping them.

.....with Limbaugh holding a whip lashing them to keep them humble.

[polynomial]

12. Its the vote stupid

Everyone in EarlG’s photo likely more than fulfills the requirement to be displayed in Pillory, done a few centuries ago, however today the pillory seems to have taken a turn in modern mainstream media broadcast Journalism.

take a look a old fashion pillory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Waller_(perjurer)


John Waller, a highwayman and perjurer, was sentenced to a jail term and pillory in 1732 after giving false information to the courts,
“ from which he benefited financially ”.

Unfortunately he was killed while in the pillory by Edward Dalton, whose brother had been executed as a consequence of Waller's perjury.

Today millions suffer because of simple grid lock, the perjury displayed in a happy smile. Or war profiteering, or housing banking swindles. Especially the lack of free health care. Or free education, or a living wage, or denial of climate change. Those faces, those politicians that EarlG put together are that unique wonderland of message deception, and worse of all mainstream media complicity.

Yep, that famous bumper sticker saying “it’s the economy stupid” should be “it’s the vote stupid”…

[Ampersand Unicode]

17. We need a "This is your brain on drugs" ad that shows the effects of voting GOP

Or the aforementioned clip from Airplane might work, if you use the chicken vs. rotten fish analogy.

[Docross]

15. Fired up!

Front page of Drudge Report

Chances of Republicans taking both the House and the Senate

WASH POST: 96% CHANCE
CNN 95%
NYT: 70%

WOO HOO! Nothing like that to FIRE UP DEMOCRATS!..except
them trying to suppress the vote.
Now the Republicans will 'stay home', because they've
got it in the bag (per Rove), one more time.

Can't go on the old standards. This election is different.


Democrats play CHESS. Republicans play ..checkers.

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. WHERE did you find a collage of Republican faces that are not ALL white ?!?

(I definitely see The Orange One among them)


We MUST GOTFV tomorrow!

[MADem]

22. I've seen those sentiments expressed here before!!!!!

Who knew those assclowns in your picture posted here...




for the irony-impaired....

[ZombieHorde]

23. Fuck Republican policies. nt

[Major Hogwash]

24. I don't care what the Republicans say, Obamacare is here to stay.

Romney's idea of getting rid of Big Bird will never happen.
McCain's idea of invading Iran will never happen.
George W. Bush's idea of privatizing Social Security by investing in the stock market will never happen.
George H.W. Bush's idea of getting rid of Medicare will never happen.
Reagan's idea of getting rid of Unions will never happen.

Yet, Nixon's idea of getting rid of the free press has already happened.

Thank gawd for the internet!!!

[yuiyoshida]

25. How is it the Rush Limbaugh is more Orange than

the Orange man?

I already voted!

[jonjensen]

26. stop repubscum vote fraud every citizen should be given free voter id to vote with at polling place.

Polls show most americans support voter id so let the government give every american citizen a free voter id to vote with they can pick them up at the polls and take their picture for it their. Al Gore has proposed using social security numbers lets call republicans bluff that say they want to stop illegal aliens from voting. they don't even when republicans try to pay one to vote like in arizona until he realized what they were going to do to him when he voted! They want to stop minorities from voting don't whine call their bluff!

[sammy750]

31. Voters are NOT choosing the law makers, it is big money.

The election in this nation are most criminal, worst then China and Russia. Big Corporations and big money decides who will run in the elections. Voters have lost their votes and choices. Look at Richmond, CA where Chevron is spending millions to elect the Mayor and council so they can built a new refinery and no pollution controls or regulations. This is what big money and corporation can do.

[Initech]

28. These are not the elections you art looking for.

Sorry GOP, your Jedi mind tricks won't work on us this time.

[sammy750]

29. A GOP win of the Senate is most important.

The GOP will defund the EPA and set this nation back 100 years in pollution. The GOP is controlled by Koch brothers who take in billions a year on coal and oil. AFC will be repeal bit by bit. McConnell is the real ISIS, don't worry about Syria or Iraq, worry about what McConnell and the GOP will be doing to this nation and the people. It will be total destruction.

[C Moon]

30. "Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes..."

Actually, those are more like smiling feces.

[FSogol]

32. Awesome. K&R. n/t

[freshwest]

34. What a collection of horror show freakazoids. GOTV!

[Jamaal510]

35. .....

[ffr]

36. One of the creepiest pictures I've ever seen.

Puts shivers down my spine.

A few more votes our way and we can see less of them and the torture they have in store for our country.

[indivisibleman]

37. I have two relatives that have bought into this lie

I try to show them that this is exactly what the Right wants you to believe but it isn't true. uuughh.
