"I live in a highly Dem area, so it doesn't matter." Bullshit! Knock it off and get out there and vote Democratic!

I hope everyone who's posting this kind of thing is a troll, because it's pissing me off.

P.S., WIMP...now there's a perfectly good replacement for an insult based on gender. It ain't brain surgery, people. I'm really tired of all of the excuses for all of the crap.

1. The only protest is to get the Republicans OUT. The only vote
that can do that is a vote for the Dems.

No excuses...no selfish motives. Do it for us all: vote the Dems in today!

2. Agreed. The only good excuse today is emergency or death. :D

4. I didn't even see those posts. I hope the moderators take them down.
They are definitely being used to disenfranchise voters. (Not sure if disenfranchise is the right word but they are definitely trying to affect the outcome of the elections.

I BET you don't see any of that kind of crap going on at Republican forums. I really do not think the Dems are that low.

5. Exactamundo!
No excuses!!! Guess what? I live in a "traditionally red" state (that would be Kansas), and I know many people here who are voting their conscience...and it's not what you might think. A lot of people here are sick of the Repuke BS and are ready for a change. Our incompetent AG, Phill Kline, who has spent a lot of his term hunting down people's abortion records, is one of many who will almost certainly be job hunting tomorrow. We've had a lot of people changing parties and coming over to the left.

I used to live in Chicago (VERY Dem), and have ALWAYS voted Democratic.

For the record, I voted nearly straight party today, with no regrets. I encourage all of you to get out there and get in the booth today, no matter what.
