Polling place filled with black people today.

[LordJezo]

I have never seen anything like it. In all the elections I have voted for I have never seen any, but today in my western NJ mostly rural white town the polling place had black folks in it at 6AM. They didn't know what they were doing or how to use the voting machines (all were asking for help) but they were there doing their thing. When I was leaving more were showing up. It was shocking. Anyone else notice the same thing?

[A.J.]

I've seen black people vote before. They've been allowed to do it for some time now.

Jeez, this might be the first time for some of you hayseeds that you have to stand so close in line with black people. Make sure to hang on tight to your handbags, ladies. The negro men are known to be dangerous.

[britneypablo]

God made it rain here because he knows black people dont like water...so McCain still has a chance here in NC!!


I will indeed add that I didnt see any at the other elections I have voted in which have been like 4....so I am going to agree this is a rare occasion...in my neck of the woods anyways...(but I live over in the conservative side of Raleigh...its called Cary...being homeless is illegal, and people dont litter here so not many ghetto types live here)

[biozombie]

Black man doing his thing, baby! Barack Obama, motherfucker! Barack Obama, I'm President, I'm hittin' that ass!

[Whiskeyportal]

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the
first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack
Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75%
Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack
Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly
Arab. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and
87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not
an African Negro).

whoooooooooo cares?

i dont even know what McCain's ethnicity is. Is he Irish? He has that "M-little c-big letter" type name

and im not even some hippy-dippy "i don't see race or color" type person...but when one individuals race is discussed for 2 years straight, after awhile you just gotta go "is it really that big of a deal...i mean really?"

And i think its good for black people to come out and vote today. I think its good for ALL americans to go out and vote.....thats what we want in this country

i could give a shit what race he is either, it's annoying, this entire election is a crock of shit. they both suck

The 6.25% is 6.25%to much for one Anthony Cumia.

He wouldn't be an Arab-American president, he would be an Arab-Kenyan president. If you listened to yesterday's show, we found out that he was born in the town of Hawaii, Kenya.

[Hottub]

I can't believe it is still so much about race. It saddens me really.
I wouldn't care if one of the candidates was an Inuit midget. The most qualified person gets my vote.
But then again, I have a problem with fundamentalist hayseeds, so am I any better?


BTW, there were a lot of Jewish people at my polling place this morning.

Oh right, there are a lot of Jewish people in my district. Doesn't matter.

Get out and vote!

The only thing I got out of yesterday's show was the McCain was firing his missile at Barack Obama on the USS Forrestal, so he single-handedly caused the 2nd worst naval disaster in US history.


I think I got that right.

How Did You Know They Were Jewish ?
Did They Try To Steal Your Wallet ?

Cause they were picking up pennies.

[KnoxHarrington]

I've got to wait until this afternoon to vote. It'll probably be a clusterfuck.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i've seen pics of Obama's dad..hes one black motherfucker

also, no one brings up that his dad left him at an early age and Barack probably hated the shit out of him

at this point we know Obama is a sincere patriotic American, if he had anything in his past to contradict that it would be EVERYWHERE. So anything about his race doesn't mean anything

Its like, say they move a co-worker of a different race in your office. The first day you may fall back on stereotypes and prejudices, but after you talk a bit its just a guy....i think race is something pretty easy to look past once you know an individual.

But maybe i just don't hold racial grudges

[angrymissy]

OMG WTF BBQ BLACK PEOPLE!

(PS Obama's father wasn't 42% whatever percent arabic. That's one of those fucking dumb chain email deals that they repost over and over on Hannity forums)

so you vote for ethnicity? wtf? how about listening to the candidates agenda and vote for what they stand for and what you stand for as well.

Either be American and vote for what is best for YOU or be human and vote for what's best for the country.

I wish I could vote, it makes me sad that there are so many informed people in this country that contribute to the economy and have no right to vote while millions of rubes get put in their uninformed and uneducated vote.
The right to vote should be determined like a drivers license. take some tests to make sure you understand that this is not about color, ethnicity or popularity.

[Hottub]

Katja for American in '08!!:clap:

[~Katja~]

well, if all plays out well my son may become president one day. Imagine that a half German 40%Peruvian and 10% Japanese President... but BORN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

I told him this morning that today is election day and we (not me :() vote for the president... and if he wanted to be president one day and he said YES, ME president! I later realized he thought I had said present and he just wanted a present ...lol but when I told him that he would be the big boss of the country he bought into it and wanted to be IT! :D

[Thebazile78]

Forget "filled with black people" ... my polling place was PACKED this morning!

I haven't ever been so proud to be a registered voter as I was this morning at 6am, shortly after the polls opened here in NJ.

The poll workers were excited to see younger voters.

I was amazed to see lines out the door.


(OK, so the place where I voted is about the size of my 5th grade classroom, but that's not the point. The point is, people made the effort to get out and vote. This is going to be one interesting day, I can tell you that.)

[Misteriosa]

my polling place was very very full.. :

If i were voting it wouldn't be based on ethnicity, both candidates are terrible. I worked very hard to get where I am in life, and pay a fuck load in taxes and I'm not excited about paying more than i feel is my fair share. I'm not jumping on the cumia bandwagon, he is a jackass. mccain is horrible on the other end. fuck them both. No where in my copy paste post did i say or even hint towards voting based on ethnicity

yeah, and then take some literacy tests and read the constitution. And maybe you only get to vote if you grandfather could vote...

(*please note sarcasm).


It's all or nothing. Everyone gets to vote. You just have to hope the stupids cancel each other out. Lord knows there are enough stupids on both sides.

[MacVittie]

You can base your vote on whatever you like, and very full people consider all the issues and consequences in deciding their vote. Much of the time it comes down to who looks and sounds better, since you will have to see that person on television on a near daily basis for the next four years.

[MisterSmith]

How about filled with people, period.

I got there 5 minutes after the polls opened, had to park a quarter mile away, and the line was wrapped around the block. I stood there for 20 minutes, moved about 4 feet, and had to leave. Absolutely unreal; unlike any election I have been a part of.

Have to try again later...

[angrymissy]

I just went at 9ish. I was the 233rd person to vote, no one was there. They said there were a shitload of people there before work and they expect a lot after.

[TheMojoPin]

also, no one brings up that his dad left him at an early age and Barack probably hated the shit out of him

Not to nitpick, but Barack has talked a whole bunch about his anger at his father. He devotes a lot of his biography to the conflicted feelings he had towards his real dad as he grew up.

[TheMojoPin]

The polls being packed when they opened seems to be the common story around the country so far...pretty cool!

[KingGeno]

Every time I go vote I am greeted by burn victim kid wearing gardener hat at my polling place. He's been there for the past 9 years, and he always says "hello" in his burn victim voice. Really makes me wanna get the fudge outta there asap.

[Heather 8]

I got to my polling place at about 6:45 after I got off work, and it was pretty hard to find a place to park. I live in a rich, lily-white district, so my poor, off-white self felt somewhat out of place.

[Furtherman]

Dumbest thread title ever.

[AKA]

The 6.25% is 6.25%to much for one Anthony Cumia.

6.25% of Anthony Cumia is too much for me.

busy polling places means people must have gotten their text messages--put down their bongs and gone out and voted.

[Aggie]

Damn, I missed it. Stupid early voting.

[JerseyRich]

I voted for a man with facial hair for the first time today.

I feel like we're an underrepresented group.

I waited in line for close to 2 hours this morning to cast my vote and now I just watched Sarah "my vote counts more then your's does" Palin, skip right to the front of the line to cast her vote..
Seeing her treat the people from her own neighborhood like that just qualifies to me that I made the right decision when I chose not to vote for a spoiled rich cunt..

yeah, i meant the people that say "HES A MUSLIM" never mentions that the side of the family that he would allegedly get his muslim attributes from he isn't too wild about

I was shocked that all the poll workers were black today, every other election it was staffed by old white people but today they were all black, strange but oh well I still voted even though Im sure they threw all my votes out!








That was sarcasm.

[Thomas Merton]

my vote for racist post of the year, although the title made me snicker just a bit

Voted Bob Barr, wasted vote, but I voted

It was one of my pet peeve nightmares though; standing in line with Starbucks sipping douches on cell phones having inane conversations

At least I got to vote right at my school/place of employment :tongue:
