Another Reminder: VOTE OBAMA!

This is a note to anyone and everyone that hasn’t voted yet.

Ignore the pundits on TV, radio and ‘the tubes’…

Vote… regardless of what hear.

VOTE OBAMA

TBWA favorite Jack Cafferty of CNN posted an interesting question yesterday: ‘How long they'd be willing to wait in line to vote?’

Here are some of the best, taken directly from the Jack’s blog, misspellings included…

“My whole day is devoted to this one moment in history, i never want to look back and regret that i was not involved in one of the most important moments in United States history.”

“Considering that there are some that wait ....and sometimes fight a lifetime for the opportunity to vote, I will wait happily for as long as it takes to vote for my chosen candidate. I urge everyone to do the same!”

“You take your pick: A few hours, or a few years. I’ll be voting tomorrow. Guaranteed.”

“I’ve already waited 8 years. One day is nothing.”

“Even though I’m 9 and 1/2 months pregnant and Obama will win California with or without my vote, I’ll wait in line as long as it takes. This election is too important to miss, and I don’t care how long and uncomfortable the wait is - I’m voting. It would be a lot more uncomfortable for me to sit by for the next four years knowing that I let my voice go unheard.”

“I think if the veterns can do 3 one year tours of duty in Iraq, I can wait on line 24 hours if it will help get them home.”

“I am prepared and willing to wait all day. I have cleared my calendar to make sure I can spend the whole day. And the time I don’t spend waiting or voting, I will spend poll watching and holding signs. This is far too important not to make a personal sacrifice to make sure my vote counts. And, as an Army wife, one day of work loss is meaningless compared to the days my husband has and will spend on deployment. To all within the sound of your voice: Get out and vote!”

“As long as it takes. I am 84, if I can do it, just about anyone can.”

“I plan on going early and staying late if I have too. Every vote counts. This is the most important election of my life. And Obama is my vote.”

“Jack, I’m in my 50’s and I have voted in every presidential election since Carter and Ford. Too often at least to me the choice was a matter of picking the lesser of evils and more often than not, at least to me, the more evil candidate came out on top. I have waited a lifetime to vote for a candidate that truly reflects my values and ideals. A candidate that offers defined solutions and not hollow rhetoric, to the problems that have plagued this nation for a long time. A candidate that asks each us of to have faith in the dream that it is America and in our ability to cast aside petty political differences and come together as one nation . A candidate that has inspired millions to get up, get out and excercise the one right we have that defines us as a free people, our right to vote for our representatives and leaders. I’ve waited a long time for this one Jack, I will wait as long as needed to vote for Barack Obama.”

“I would wait till hell freezes over if that is what it takes. This election is too important to concern myself with personal discomforts or inconvenences.”

“Jack after what I witnessed in GA, I’d wait in line a week! An elderly African American woman fell out in line waiting to vote, they brought her to and tried to remove her to give her medical attention. Her words exactly were “I’m not leaving this line until I vote”. That’s powerful! That action swayed a couple of voters. I know because they said that moved them.’

Those are just a few of the hundreds and hundreds of comments being left… comments from people who are motivated to vote and make history… What about you? How long are you willing to wait in line to help elect Barack Obama? And what are you doing read a blog? GTFO and VOTE

It's Noon... did YOU vote?

And remember...

Just in case

It’s almost over… the fat lady is getting ready to sing… calls have been made… homes have been visited… hands have been shaken… babies have been kissed.

All that’s left now is the actual voting.

And on that note, should you see something weird, discomfiting, out-of-the-ordinary or downright illegal going on at your polling place tomorrow, report it.

First you could contact Obama Voter Protection at 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-874-6226) and tell them what problems you’re witnessing.

If you can’t get through, you can submit an online form or call your local Obama campaign headquarters.

Additionally, or alternately, you can call the fine folks at Election Protection, a nonpartisan organization, at 866-OUR-VOTE.

And since this is the 21st century, you could also report problems to Election Protection’s state teams through Twitter, using these guidelines.

If that weren’t enough, you can track incident reports received through the hotline at OurVoteLive.org while keeping an eye on voting issues as they are reported at the OurVoteLive Blog while following breaking voting news and issues at the 866OurVote Twitter account…

Oh, and by the way...

101 Reasons to Vote Against John McCain: 10-1

The Final Countdown; numbers 10 – 6…

#10: John McCain’s reputation is built on opposing torture, but he voted against a bill to ban waterboarding. He also applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban. Just another flip flop.

#9: John McCain allowed the RNC to spend $150,000 on Sarah Palin's wardrobe. Millions of Americans are in danger of losing their homes, and many spend less than that on a home...it shows they're elitists, and shows bad judgement.

#8: John McCain wants it both ways. While he voted with George Bush 95% of the time, he then came out slamming Bush's policies as a campaign tactic - policies he used to agree with.

#7: John McCain is delusional when it comes to the latest polls. He is down in so many polls in different states, but he says the polls are not accurate. Is this a type of analyzer you'd want as President?

#6: John McCain has flipped flopped 44 times. The old 'he was for it before he was against it' and vice versa...so much back and forth.

Later today, numbers 5 – 1.

Now it must be told

Since the debate I have resisted the urge to get involved into the whole 'Joe the Plummer' (or JTP for you acronym lovers out there) nonsense (related to Charles Keating, not registered to vote, incorrectly registered to vote, a McCain plant, etc).

But now…with this coming out and JTP acknowledging it, I felt I need to post something about it.

As every Liberal blog and its brother said yesterday, Joe Wurzelbacher's complaints about Sen. Obama's tax plan didn't hold water as, contrary to what Wurzelbacher said, neither his personal nor business taxes would rise if the Obama tax plan went into effect.

Per CBS News, now JTP is acknowledging this fact, saying; "I would, if you believe him, I would be receiving his tax cuts."

Interesting…isn't it?

This whole Joe the Plumber think stank from the word go, whether it being the fact that he makes FAR LESS than the $250,000 or the fact that he now, albeit reluctantly, admits that Obama would lower his taxes.

Like far too many republicans (IE: ALL OF THEM), it seems that Joe has a habit of, well, we’ll call it stretching the truth.

Let’s review (or vet since McCain didn’t seem to do it) the facts; he only makes $40,000 a year. He doesn't have a valid plumber’s license in the state of Ohio. He’s only been a "plumber" for 6 years and not 15 as he earlier said. He never finished his plumber courses. He never apprenticed as a plumber. He can't afford to buy his bosses business that generates $100,000 a year in profit and NOT the $250,000 he claimed. He’s a registered republican. He owes over a $1,000 in back taxes and, the big one; he would receive a tax cut under Obama’s tax plan.

And despite that, he still plans to vote for McCain… and this perfectly epitomizes the face of republican ignorance and self-defeatism; voting against your own best interest because of a lesser reason. The fact that he would still vote for McCain after realizing that his taxes would go down with Obama simply defies logic and appears to come down to the unspoken fact that he won't vote for the guy who will help him and his family because.....shhhhhh..... he's black...

And now that he's spent his usefulness (which depends on your interpretation of the whole JTP episode), the McPalin campaign is ready to throw him away.

Imagine that….he's outlived his propaganda efficacy and then promptly gets thrown overboard; who would have EVER seen THAT coming from the McCain campaign?

It's so hard to express sarcasm in the written form sometimes.

Joe should rethink his vote… if he voted for Obama he would likely see his taxes decrease, and then with the money he would save under Obama's tax plan, Joe could… I don't know; apply for his plumbing license or pay the back taxes he still owes.

I'm just sayin'…
