My Partner And I WILL NOT Be Voting For Kerry In November...
We'll vote for him in OCTOBER by absentee ballot. Mr. Arwalden will be working in another Maryland county as an Election Judge, and I'll also be electioneering at other polling places outside of my county.

You know... there are actually some folks who are still undecided even as they approach their polling places. --- I don't know if it's true or not, but some people exiting the polling places I've volunteered at have told me "I voted for your candidate because you asked me to".

I guess they figured if I cared enough to brave the weather, and hold a sign, and cover myself with "Ben Cardin" or "Barbara Mikulski" stickers that their vote was well spent.

6. Actually, ....
they're really quite decent folks here, locally. It's really odd watching the Democrat and Republican election judges agree on about 99% of the 'judgment calls' that arise during the course of voting.

13. My Partner Made A Similar Comment
noting the cooperation and professional approach of the people INSIDE the polling place.

Obviously that's not always the case in every polling place, but it's comforting to know that things seem to work smoothly here.

8. Oh, sure, Allen.
I came in here just to give you a piece of my mind about not voting for the Dem candidate in November. Gonna lecture you about the Supreme Court and all those judicial appointments. Gonna just lambaste you about what 4 more years of the Shrub would do to te environment, to civil rights, to democracy in general...

and what do I find out?

"We'll vote for him in OCTOBER by absentee ballot."

All that moral outrage wasted. A high dudgeon brought low. All that adrenaline and cortisol streaming through my circulatory system for nothing.

That was not a nice thing to do, Allen.

10. Oh... I'm Sure It's Not Wasted...
You've just pre-charged your batteries for the NEXT time where moral outrage is actually justified! :hi: (Just keep it civil and within the rules.)

17. Right on
"I was just about to get mad all over again", he said, muttering quietly under his breath in some sort of accent. Spanish, Italian, Norwegian? No one knew for sure and none dared ask.

:thumbsup: It's nice to know it's not all uphill. In fact, thanks so much for reaching out to pull more up the mountain.

12. You've got it sir!
I, Newsman Matt Drudge, would like to congratulate you on your outstanding use of a misleading headline to this thread! It's wonderful to see!

Now, the next thing you have to learn to do, is tell a complete lie once you've sucked the people in. See, you were honest once inside the thread. It would have been better if you'd said something in it about how Kerry has had 30 some odd people killed in the past 3 years, in his never ending thirst for power. Trust me, research is not important, you just make stuff up, and who knows! Maybe you'll turn out to be right! Like I always say, even a dork faced idiot wearning a stupid hat that makes him look even stupider than he is sometimes stumbles upon something that isn't a complete fabrication!

Warm Wishes and Kind Regards,
Matt
