the racist white folk/whatever happened to iraq/national security edition

im fairly certain i could vote at least 3 times in this election. early voting- thank god theyre doing it, and hopefully its being done in the right places (racist). if there have been 10 hour waits for voting in the last several days, then what should we expect tuesday? is this true though? could it rather be to discourage?

to my point though-

they show endless lines of predominately african american voters talking about '10 hour waits' etc etc. On tuesday, my dad (state officer) only gets 2 hours off to vote. hourly-wage workers? will they be able to afford time off? if this election was closer (of course polls can be wrong) we could be (are) at serious risk for severe voter disenfranchisement and fraud. if obama loses, rodney king would look like kids stuff, you can be sure. and i may well join in. 1 million expected in grant park, chicago, for obama's election night rally. who knows what could happen?

we really do everything we can to make voting (and the whole electoral process) completely nonsensical. How to make it work-national holiday, and you get your thumb dipped in 2 week paint. its not like we havent thought up such a procedure before; because, if i remember correctly, we instituted that in iraq.

for a visual rhetoric exercise, watch cheney's ''endorsement'' of mccain. its well known the two of them hate each other.

yay






I done spent my last three cents
Mailing my letter to the president
I didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent

Stetson Kennedy
Writing his name in

I cain't win out to save my soul
Long as Smathers-Dupont's got me in the hole
Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
That's what's got me out here walking and talking
Knocking on doors and windows
Wake up and run down election morning
And scribble in Stetson Kennedy

I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war
We'll all forget what we're killing folks for
We'll find us a peace job equal and free
Dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea
Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy the man for me
