Listening to the Voices in My Head

About return mailing of Absentee Ballots. Oh hello! I haven't even received mine yet, so I sent an email to the registrar in the state I am registered to vote in as to when I will be receiving it.

They aren't being mailed out until Sept 24th. Whohuhwha? Let's do a little math here.

Absentee ballots get mass mailed out Saturday September 24th. Takes two to three weeks to get here. I get it filled out, and it will take another two to three weeks to get back there.

That is cutting it too fine, too close. What if the ballot doesn't get here, gets lost in the mail?

I am going to suggest to them, that next Federal election, after the primaries are over send the absentee ballots out! There are places to put in write in candidates. Because waiting until the last week in September? Oh hell no!

Set your WayBack machine to November 2008. Senator Barack Obama was elected president. Suddenly we heard chants of redistribution of the wealth, will take our guns, will force sharia law, convert the US to Islam, and a bunch of even crazier prognostications.

Guess what? None of them happened. Wealth Distribution? The wealthy have gotten wealthier in the past 4 years. Guns? Not one gun has been taken from anyone. Sharia law? Seeing as it's against constitutional law, didn't happen, and neither was the the country converted.

A looming depression was prevented, and a recession was overcome. Was jobs lost? Yes. Recovery is happening, and even Mr Romney said it would 10 to 12 years to recover, but you all whine that President Obama didn't get it done in 4 years.

The man who orchestrated a devastating attack on the US was found, and is now dead. Something Mr Romney said wasn't worth moving heaven and earth to do.

The latest whacko predictions are the US is going to be invaded by Russia or China. Hogwash. If company CEOs have pissy fits because President Obama was re-elected and fires employees because of it, put the blame where it belongs.. on the shoulders of the CEOs.

It's time for you to put on your big boy/big girl pants, and grow the f&&k up and stop pouting that the two faced, swinging more than a weather vane in a hurricane, Etch-A-Sketch Mr Romney was soundly defeated, as were many Tea-Party politicians were.

Nuff said.

The party of Anti-Science, Anti-Intellectualism, Anti-intellect, sexism has been defeated. Also, much relief that the Koch Brothers and the other billionaires funding Mr Romney's campaign were shown that the Oval Office is NOT up for sale, nor is a Venture Capitalist presidential material.

So far, the GOP has been attempting to move heaven and earth to make sure their candidate sits in the oval office. They know that he can't win by fair means, and are doing all they can to make sure he get there by foul means.

So far, the GOP has (in no particular order):

Changed/restricted or gotten rid of early voting in districts that would favor democratic ticket. (One Republican politician bragged that they changed the PA voter laws so Romney would win the state.)

Engaged in voter intimidation. (GOP and TeaNuts harassing voters at the polls, making all sorts of demands, and just interfering)

Putting up signs saying show photo ID, and in itty bitty almost unreadable text "Voluntary not mandatory", but when people walk away not having the ID, not bothering to tell them, again, in areas that would favor Democratic candidates.

Voter suppression via illegal voter purges, or flat out lying to voters (example, telling voters in Wisconsin that if you've been convicted of a felony, you can't vote. Yes, you can if you've served your sentence, you are free to vote)

Voter Fraud - Republican worker who works for company with strong ties back to Romney/Karl Rove was busted throwing away filled out voter registration cards. Another one was fraudulent voter registration forms submitted in Florida by a firm the Republican Party hired.

This is just some of the shenanigans the GOP is up to. Let's be real, if the Democratic party did any of these, the GOP would be exploding.

But what gets me about all of this is the blind eye the republican supporters seem to have. If this shit was done TO GOP supporters they would be screaming blue bloody murder! That's called "Hypocrisy". Learn the word, all those who are ignoring what the GOP and it's supporters are doing, because the word hypocrite is readily applied to you.

Paul Ryan for saying Obama broke a promise to keep a GM plant open. Or the tea-bagger drones applauding him that refuse to remember that it was closed long before Obama took office.

GOP presidential campaign is a bucket load of false, seasoned with racist rhetoric, and garnished with flat out lies... AND they ostracize any honest republican who dares to call them out on their lies, or refuses to back up those lies.
