hey, 47% - please remember that you need to vote as Mitt wishes

hey, the undecided, now you can make your decision and vote for Obama...since you have seen Mitt's tax returns - which show that while your family loses wealth, Mitt has gained in value ... not a coincidence

Voting...democracy in action..

Voters beware....in the Citizen United case (2010), the Supreme Court's activist conservative judges have started a new rule in voting...one dollar one vote (SuperPACs), contradicting the early rule of 'one person one vote.'

So...all of you should show up and vote .... it's our voters' duty to save the country and protect the constitution. we the People will re-enact the magic of 2008.

Yes, We Still Can...

FORWARD....

I've voted early in the last three Presidential elections. There's something freeing about getting it done early. Why would I want to watch Mitt decline any further before voting for Obama, except for the pure entertainment value of seeing a GOP campaign drive off a cliff?

Plus, if I vote early, I can spend election day helping to get my fellow Obama supporters to the polls!!!

Four more years? Someone get me four more beers.

ok...alan...you will get your four more bears...

teddy bears...or chicago bears? both are cute.

I can't wait to vote!

I hope as many people as possible have seen Romney's speech at the fundraising dinner. What shocked me the most was his observation that some people actually feel entitled to healthcare! As if America is now Victorian England. "May I have some healthcare sir?"

I have never seen any office-seeker who is willing to give up 47% right off bat.

All want to fight tooth and nail for every vote they can get..that's of course was until Mitt. And the HISTORY of campaigning will be re-written by Mitt..and Mitt is already HISTORY.

Amy - I think worse than entitled to healthcare was his disdain that some people think they are entitled to food. Gasp, what's next, entitlement to WATER and alas, AIR?

Hey, Mitt...where are ALL of your tax returns???????

Mitt, you can do better ...than just one?

Its turn the page time or change the topic.............the 2011 returns are out. Romney is putting them out early, if for no other reason but to take the heat of his awfully super bad week.

They don't tell too much, its the years prior to 2010 we would like to see.....bet they tell a story.

Early voting starts September 27th in Iowa. I plan to take advantage of it.

GBM, true, Romney figures it will change the subject but it won't completely. Releasing the returns early is a bit like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Now the topic is again, what about the other 10 years; and where's he hiding the rest of his millions.

truthfinder3 - what you've proved with your post is that you wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and slapped you. And, you've proved that you are one of the low information people - typical Romney supporter!

Obama/Biden 2012

Don't let the flip flopper and his vampire side kick ROB the campaign from President Obama

MITT ROMNEY IS CALLING US 'PARASITES' WHEN HE ONLY PAID 14% in taxes.

Who is the real parasite????????

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

Thank you "FormerGOPlapdog". You are what some Republicans use to be, a person of INTEGRITY. We will take all of the help we can to see to you it THAT ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE STILL PREVAILS in this Country instead of the SUBVERTING OF DEMOCRACY WITH VOTER SUPPRESSION by Karl Rove, Billionaires, Shadow Groups with Tricky Names, and all of the Republican Dominated State Houses and Judges going along with this TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE, trying to TAKE DEMOCRACY FROM THE PEOPLE.

Thank you for being a "Real American" not the ones PALIN, ROMNEY, RYAN the Current GOP/TEA and Fox News are trying to MAKE UP AND INVENT and insult 1/2 OF THE COUNTRY AT THE SAME TIME.

Dumb Paul Ryan got boooedddd!!!!!! in Florida when he said that we needed to repeal obamacare.

Make sure that you register to vote!!! these jerks of the republican party are attacking us by preventing people without public transportation to vote.

Help someone taking them to register!!!!

I think it would be a really good idea for the UN to send observers to monitor our elections like they do in those 3rd world countries like Kenya and Chicago.

Let the fraud begin!

Ahhhh, the Black Panters are out in full force and escorted by DOJ lawyers.

Early voting......heck.....the debates haven't even started. However, smart voters will see where Mr. Obama is heading with his "transformation of America" and vote him OUT Early.

I wonder if Mr. Obama is going to give the World a "Nixon Wave" when he boards Marine One for his LAST trip from the White House grounds. Yep, that home next to Mr. Jimmy Carter is looking great for the Obama family. Billy Bob Peanuts should go well with Obama Beer.

Romney-Ryan 2012 to take back America from the Progressives, dead heads, and Radicals.

The bell is tolling for Mitt and his failed campaign. The end is nigh for him and his dog-and-pony show. President Obama will be reelected and it will be morning in America again!

President Obama by default! There seems to be nobody running against him!

Of all papers, this writer from the W. Post gives all intelligent people his take on the commie

This author is not a writer for the Washington Post. This article never appeared in the Washington Post or any of the papers you listed. If you are going to re-post an opinion piece from the likes of Breitbart, get the citations and the title of the article correct.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/affirmative.asp

Hey Concerned citizen ...maybe you can write a book or two that people would actually want to buy and read ... then you could join those who make you green with envy.

Here we go, fraud alert needs to be in full alert to prevent more ACORN type activity like last election. The only voters being disenfranchised so far are military because the department of defense under Obama has not issued the absentee voting forms in the manner prescribed by the law passed two years ago. Yet under this same lame administration they found plenty of time to sue over voter I.D. requirements that would only disenfranchise dead people and those that vote in two states like the Democrat who just had to drop out. GET out and vote vote vote to save our country. Remember now and in November, ABO and Romney is 1000 times better than four more years of this destruction to our Constitution and our country and our economy.

Sailcat

Dream on, because you Obama lemmings say it does not make it so. In fact you are just giving those who want to save our country encouragement to get out and vote even if they are dying.

Dream on, because you Obama lemmings say it does not make it so

Oh, I am not saying so. The American people are saying it's so:

no republican cant make points or any type of logical discussion. all they have to counter the best president is to speak from their hate filled racist heart. Now republicans don't even try to use truth or whole fact. Cause truth are whole facts as well as god is against republicans. The party is going into the preNazi phase. Find a group of people to blame on. Then make them die. Last time evil blamed the Jews And today targets is the minorities to include stripping women of all right and legalizing rape. This election is simple vote for the satin worshiping republicans. Are the defenders of good,God,American people and real freedom.

cause republican cater to the ignorant uneducated racist white grumpy men club. It produces ignorant racist politician. Then you have the educated smart democrats. That is way Republicans look like a bunch of ignorant azzes making 1 massive gaffle after another. They have no education to argue their points with truth or factual statements the rely on hate and racism and its destroying them. I really enjoy Americans are waking up and seeing the republicans for what they are becoming. a bunch of book burning ignorant racist. After this election republicans are not going to be able to win the white house for a very long time. When Texas becomes a swing state and then a democrat state then democrats will win all the white house election. Thank God the party is imploding by gods will. Any christian or catholic that vote for a satin worshiper is going to h3ll . The idiot is a Mormon a false religion and by the Bible they are looked as satin worshipers.

I've already voted. My dad knows somebody at the election bureau and the machines are ready to go. Wasn't sure if my vote registered in the machine on the first try...so I entered an extra few million just to be on the safe side...and I hope they all count.

Obama/Biden, clearly better for the future of our nation.

Well, this is what Obama is praying for... Early voting BEFORE THE DEBATES... by then it will be too late to change your vote....

G-Dog... Let's hope you still feel that way in a few years when your grandkids are stuck paying the 22+ Trillion Dollar National Debt that Obama has allocated to be spent by 2021. Of course, you won't have to worry about your grandkids holding you accountable for their deprived economic liberties.. after all Obama's government agenda's are in place, they won't have the right to voice their displeasure... Who needs freedoms anyway.. You have your golden boy Obama today, why should you care about America's tomorrows!.....

That is rich! A President sworn in to uphold the constitution who violates it by signing NDAA and makes the Patriot Act permanent, uses it to try to guarantee votes.

At least there are parts of it he will uphold.

Look out for the, "True the Vote" zealots from the Tea Party. If you're a minority, they want to make your vote their business to prevent it from happening.

Excerpts:

This is how it works today: In an ostensible hunt for voter fraud, a Tea Party group, True the Vote, descends on a largely minority precinct and combs the registration records for the slightest misspelling or address error. It uses this information to challenge voters at the polls, and though almost every challenge is baseless, the arguments and delays frustrate those in line and reduce turnout.

The thing that’s different from the days of overt discrimination is the phony pretext of combating voter fraud. Voter identity fraud is all but nonexistent, but the assertion that it might exist is used as an excuse to reduce the political rights of minorities, the poor, students, older Americans and other groups that tend to vote Democratic.

In The Times on Monday, Stephanie Saul described how the plan works. True the Vote grew out of a Tea Party group in Texas, the King Street Patriots, with the assistance of Americans for Prosperity, a group founded by the Koch brothers that works to elect conservative Republicans.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/22/opinion/voter-harassment-circa-2012.html?_r=0

Romney/Ryan need all the votes they can get before the debates show them for what they are, The biggest corporate lying tools and sociopathic dolts in history.

Obama will be reelected and it will be morning in America again!

Yeah Sailcat, there will be mourning in America for the country that was once the greatest country in the world.

18th and dropping on the list of free economies of the world.

Weak American leadership embolding muslim extremism in the middle east. Our tax dollars paying for the gas to burn the American flags in the streets.....

Don't forget right wing intolerance, racism, and willful ignorance on the domestic front, ToxicChemist! If there is anything in this country that threatens our freedom it is the reactionary policies of the far right christian extremists who are beating the drum of hatred. The beat of that drum may sound attractive to you and your degenerate ilk, ToxicChemist, but the American people are turning away from the detestable political ideologies of the GOP/TP/Neo-Fascist party and they will reelect President Obama as a reasonable and positive alternative to their destructive agendas.

Feel better? No? Well, you'll get over it.

Sailcat-2064101

That is not entirely true. Look at the voting records of NDAA and the Patriot Act which have destroyed more freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution than any other legislation in history. It was both parties, two Presidents, and a comatose public that allowed that to happen.

Why is it that the only time those bastards can agree on something is to take our rights? Because it is harder to overthrow a government when you have none.

A vote for Obama will costs thousands and maybe million of jobs. On his schedule for the next term is to close more then 200 power plants, which will bring the price of electricity double or tripple what you are paying now. If you vote for the moron, you deserve no job or no freedom.

From Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight.com:

Mr. Obama continues to get very strong results in state polls that use industry-standard methodology, meaning that they use live interviews and place calls to mobile phones along with landlines.

In the 10 states that have generally been ranked the highest on our tipping-point list — Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan — there have been 21 such polls since the Democratic convention ended. Mr. Obama has led in all 21 of these surveys — and usually by clear margins. On average, he has held a six-point lead in these surveys, and he has had close to 50 percent of the vote in them.

Current prediction is for Obama to win 309.5 electoral votes in November (to Romney's 228.5)

And if the election were held today, Obama would have a 95.8% chance of winning.

The GOP badly overestimated Americans' memory loss. We know who trashed the economy.

And we're not going to let you do it again.

LET'S VOTE, DEMS!

Here’s the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page: “Surely a man as smart as the former CEO of Bain Capital can give a better speech on taxes and dependency than he delivered at that fundraiser.

Here's a shocker for the right wing - CEO's and other big paycheck guys REALLY AREN"T ALL THAT SMART!

They're usually hired for their connections, not their thinking ability.

Does that mean they're not actually worth all that money? That it's just a cult of wealth?

You be the judge.

Come November 7 after President Obama is reelected, the Democrats hold the Senate and pick up seats in the House, it will be fun to listen to the excuses spewing form Limbaugh, Fox and the right wing crazies. My guess is they will be screeching about voter fraud and whining about the “liberal media” favoring Democrats. What you WON”T hear them say is their presidential candidate was one of the worst of all times who ran one of the worst campaigns of all times and they will NEVER admit they have no ideas, no answers and no solutions for the problems of the 21^st century.

One more opportunity for the Libs to stuff the ballot box. Look what Obama and Holder are trying to do in the courts. Now they will hit the nursing homes. Dash in with a ballot, get a signature, who cares if the person is senile, and mail it in. And yes, given the lapse of over a month, the dead can vote.

Only Democrats proclaim voter fraud as a non-issue. Yet it was the Democratic candidate for congress from the State of Maryland that voted in two separate states in the same elections. So when Democrats say voter fraud is a non-issue, what they mean is they don't want to see it stopped.

No, Rick. It is a non-issue because there is no voter fraud:

Nice that so many states have mail in voting before the debates. Doesn't say much for their faith or desire to get out an intelligent vote.

Yes...watch all the BRAIN dead vote for Flipper Romney. You'll be in excellent company, Gil!

Obama 2012/Romney 1040

I have some observations this Sunday morning:

1) 538's "Now-Cast" gives Obama a 95.8% chance of winning if the election were held today. That's a 19-to-1 advantage. This is particularly relevant when you consider absentee and early voting. Romney's toast.

2) Overall, 538 gives Obama a 77.5% chance of winning on Nov 6th. That is well over a 3-to-1 advantage. Romneys toast.

3) Romney lied about his tax returne or his qualifications for the Presidency. Take your pick. He said on at least 4 occasions that no one who pays more taxes than he owes is qualified to be President. On his 2011 returns (filed months after the 47% filed theirs) he failed to take over $2.5 million in deductions so he could falsely claim that he paid more than 13%. The fact is that after the election, all he has to do is file an amended return and claim those deductions and his tax rate plummets to 8.2%. Romney lies.

4) The whole 47% comment thread is so bizarrely wrong that if is difficult to even discuss. It has been a favorite GOP line that 47% of individuals don't pay federal income tax and should be forced to pay a minimum tax. How much minimum tax should a newborn baby pay? Or an old person in a nursing home? Or someone permanently disabled? Or a small business owner who has lost his business? The truth for the Republican liars is that if you consider ALL taxes, the lower half of people in income already pay over 72% of ALL taxes and fees --- federal, state, and local. And many of those taxes, such as sales taxes, as so incredibly regressive that they are actually discounted in the standard deduction. And I am in the 47% --- I am 68 and on Social Security (into which I have paid since I was 11 years old.) I am not a "victim". I am not on "welfare." I am not suckling at the public teat." And I am not voting for Romney.

The GOP is not just going down. First they ran the treasonous traitor womanizer and adulterer McCain and his idiotic VP pick. He only led in the polls for 4 days in the entire campaign. (The four days after he selected Palin but before anyone knew anything about her.) I thought that the GOP could go no lower. But now they are running the inane non-Christian tax cheat Romney. Romney has led for exactly zero days in the polls since he became the presumptive candidate. Not only are McCain and Romney losing elections they are actually destroying the Republican Party and its "brand."

Sailboat: The methodology in your "study" is flawed. You cannot logically say that since I did not catch a mouse in the trap that there are no mice. Maybe you have a highly inefficient trap or are simply putting it in the wrong place. You have no way of telling how many mice got away with the "crime" (and I know you can make an issue of the cheese being gone -- don't be an a**) especially when it is a simple crime and poorly enforced. Your study does not prove or disprove anything. The only way to "prove" voter fraud is if there are more voters, voting, than are registered.

As to the substantial number of misidentifications, look at the no-fly list. Does the large number of misidentifications mean that there are no terrorists? I guess you would do away with the TSA.

You cannot logically say that since I did not catch a mouse in the trap that there are no mice.

You cannot rationally ask for laws to be passed for crimes that do not exist. Please try to pull yourself together and just a word of advice: wear a slobber bib. It will prolong the life of the poor keyboards on which you pound out your insane ravings.

Chris: Because Romney has the ability to file an amended return does not make him a liar. As to liars, look in a mirror "And I am in the 47% --- ...". You are either, in an unbelievable economic situation, lying that you are on Social Security (having paid into it "since 11") or you are not in the 47% and do pay taxes.

Sailboat: I guess you can't, or will not, read beyond the second sentence.

Goodbye.

@Gil,

I said: "take your pick". Either he was correct when he said they no one was qualified to be President if he paid more thaxes than he owes. Or he was correct when failed to deduct $2.5 million in deductions (at least temporarily) so that his tax rate would be 14.1% instead of 8.2% as it will eventually be. You chopse that he lied on his statements to the public and plans to file an amended return and reclaim the 8.2% tax rate as soon as the campaign is over. He can file an amendment for 2 1/2 more years. YOU made the choice that Mitt was a liar from a choice of unqualified or a liar!

I do agree with you, however. Mitt is a liar.

Chris: You cannot even read your own material or remember what you wrote: "... so that he could falsely claim that he paid more than 13%." He did pay more than 13%. HOW IS THAT "false".

You sound like the liberal press, changing facts at will to prove a point, spouting lies and then having the guts to call everyone else a liar.

Chris:

PS: Did you lie about being in the 47% or do you believe that the Security Security which you have paid into since 11 is an "entitlement"? You failed to address that point.

@Gil,

The claim is false because he (via his surrogates) have flatly refused to state that he will not seek an amended return to claim the deductions which he failed to take. That means that he falsely filed his taxes, since he knew it was not correct and was intended only to fool rubes into believing he had pai9d 14.1%. It may not be against the law, but it is still FALSE! It is ethically and morrally just as false as if he had taken $2.5 million in deductiuons to which he was not entitled.

And I pay no federal income taxes because my income is too low --- right now I draw Social Security only and do not have to declare a dime of my savings until I am 70 1/2. That's the way it works. Yes, I see Social Security as an entitlement and that ius one reason why Romney has only a 1 in 20 chance winning. I paid into it and I am indeed entitled to draw against it in the manner agreed to when I paid in. And the largest single group of the 47% are retirees. And the second largest group are children and the third are the handicapped/disabled. If you hate these sorts of people and see them as victime, I feel very sorry for you. Anger must be eating your soul.

@Gil,

I would also remind you that @sailboat is correct. There have been virtually NO (less than 1 a year) instances of in-person voter fraud. The reason is that the routine of crossing names off a paper election roll has been around so long it is almost fool-proof. Where virtually all voter fraud happens in in absentee voting. There are hundreds of fraudulent absentee ballots found every year. The most common form of absentee ballot fraud is a person who gets a second ballot in the name of their spouse and then votes "for" that spouse without their knowledge. Absentee ballots tend to favor the GOP, so they have kept all ID requirements out of absentee ballot requirements. The lines of millions of illegal immigrants voting are only in the sicko minds of Republicans who basically believe anything on Fox.

Here's one for your little right wing brain: Glen Beck shills for a "gold" broker. It is a scam. illegal in most states. The scam centers around the old question: "Which weighs more, a pound feathers or a pound of gold?" Know the answer? Thought not. You should be buying Beck's "fools" gold then.

I guess you can't, or will not, read beyond the second sentence.

There is no point. Your argument collapsed at the second sentence. Fail.

Chris-749391

First of all, I will not vote for either Romney or the President. That being written, There is a heck of a lot more proof that the President violated his oath of office to uphold the Constitution when he clearly violated it by signing NDAA and putting our due process in the hands of the President, than even remotely being able to establish any tax fraud on behalf of Romney.

You may believe you are right, but you are not. Apparently, Blindness is a side effect of the two party system.

n a funny way, i do hope obozo gets reelected by you ignorant fools.

when he taxes the one percent and lowers the debt for 12 hours you are next

and your kids will think you were the stupidest people on the planet, destroying the last bastion, beacon shall i be so bold, to embrace socialism, which so many died to defend against

liberals. self serving selfish fools too smug to listen

oh yeah, hows that new downgrade?

hows the middle east doing?

hows that fiscal cliff gonna be handled?

how are 23 million americans gonna find a job?

hows that french economy now that they decided to "tax the rich?" dont know? whys that hmmmm?

what will you all do when the economy contracts again nov 7th?

it will be too late for sorry

Now they will hit the nursing homes.

• The ONLY demographic Mitt is winning is senior citizens. I doubt Democrats are going out of their way to register seniors.

Hi, I would rather see Sarah Failin's in your avatar

Willard and the TeaPeople have had a very bad, awful summer since the overseas trip-up!

....things only got worse, think about it.

Vote straight Democrat...up and down the ballot!

Obama/Biden 2012!

Hi, I would rather see Sarah Failin's in your avatar

I'll see what I can do ;)

Thanks, let's toast..with TEA... Tea-potty are toast...

All Democrats that are able need to vote early,and then be available to help people that can't vote early get to the polls on Nov. 6th. The election isn't over yet.We may be ahead now but never forget that the Republican/teabaggers can still try and steal the election.They are already trying to suppress voters in many states,and its only the start of their tricks. When a party tries to stop voters from voting you know their afraid of democracy.Don't let them win from another stolen election.

No kidding. Do you think Sheldon Adelson and the Kock Brothers are going to just forget about the hundreds of millions they already threw in the fire? They are going to try to protect their investment. They want this damn hostile takeover to go through so they can install Willard as CEO.

They forgot one thing. We're not for sale.

Hey Tony, we'll have to call Roto-Rooter to break up this Republican turd jam - they are deeply lodged in the pipes.

The TeaReTards are on Coke, Coke up party for the 1% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uncle Bob, I suspect they will tie up courts as well with challenges to the counting of votes...

Looks like the GOP is going to try stealing the Election like 2000 with "W" the interloper !!!!!!!!!!!

It's becoming pretty obvious that virtually every Republican knows that the race is lost. You can see it in their posts and their bizarre allegations. They just get louder and shriller and more and more divorced from facts and reality as their loss becomes apparent. But what they do not yet realize is that the GOP has been destroyed in the process. And all by self-inflicted wounds.

'God help us'??

God helps those who help themselves...so help yourself..

But, which god are yoou talking about? Mitt's or ???

Pigotry it was just a phrase. However if you must know, who ever your God is or Supreme.

In case you did not know Mitt's Religion has the same God as Christians do. In fact they also believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

The one difference is that to them these are three different entities. Google it if you don't believe me. I know you will find that what is being painted about his religion is totally false. I will let anyone be the judge of that.

Go ahead and cut off you nose to spite your face, when you lose in November you can add gnash your teeth to that repertoire.

God helps those who help themselves...so help yourself..

Well PIG, if you truely believe that, then there's no reason to redistribute wealth, is there. The poor just need to help themselves. Too funny, a liberal secularist talking as if they know what God and faith is.

We all know that the democrats will be out voting early .......and several times..........with the New Black Panthers seeing to it that "all is well" at the polls on election day.

The TeaReTearded kids will also be out we guns to the GOP voters heads to vote for their insane party, the party that destroyed this Country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concern Citizen - if you are truly in the 47%, you should think long and hard before voting for Romney.

A vote for Romney is a vote to contribute your hard work to those who are already wallowing in plenty in this country.

Vote for working people. Vote Democratic.

Hey.. Concern(ed) Citizen... the Mormons ( of which I was one ) DO NOT believe in the same god as the Christians, they are NOT Christian by any stretch of the imagination. Their 'god' is an exhalted MORTAL man... one of MANY... he is only the 'god' of THIS planet and ALL Mormon men will become just like him... GODS... of their own planets, where they will practice POLYGAMY for all eternity. They believe that we all preexisted before we came to earth, that Jesus and Satan are LITERAL, ACTUAL brothers, that "god" had actual SEX with one of his wives to beget Jesus and his brothers. So you've fallen for their "We're Christians just like you" PROPAGANDA campaign which has been in full force for about the last 15 yrs now. It's BULLS HIT. They are a CULT... but then ALL religions are CULTS.. even yours.

The problem with Romney isn't his religion. In fact, I see that as a feather in his cap -- probably the ONLY one he has. The problem with Romney is he has NO ideas, NO solutions, NO answers to any of the problems we face other than the failed policies of the past.

amen to that!

ROBMEHOOD says Voters ID law works for him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

high gas prices, high unemployment rate, high debt, the worst in all the USA presidents, united with Muslim brotherhood hood evil, Muslim brotherhood evil will destroy the world, and he said in his profile i am against gays and he helped gays to get married so he could get their votes, trying to release the blind clerk to get Muslim American voters, and he proved himself as a weak president from getting his ambassador raped and killed and did not defend him and apologized and kissing the hand of king Saudi. he is a liar in every thing he is doing who i should vote for and i am Democratic voter, I will vote for Romney instead of some one will destroying USA since he united with the muslim brotherhood what an evils.

Hey pr... there's a rock out there w/your name on it. Why don't you slither on back under it where you belong. Teacretin.

high gas prices, high unemployment rate, high debt, the worst in all the USA presidents,

• Remembering George W. Bush are you pr???

Hi JoAnne...

I will admit to not following the story very well mostly because I like to vote on Election Day. The early voting runs from Saturday to Saturday (the Saturday right before the election). Many church leaders have said they are just going to go to the polls one Sunday earlier than in the past. The reason that this was done, as I understand it, is timing. Between the end of early voting and start of election day voting, the precincts have to sort out the early votes and apparently in 2011 some precincts weren't prepared on election day. They needed more time. (This is simply the explanation as I understand it...NOT my personal opinion on the matter).

Hope that helps.

Have a good weekend! :-)

JoAnne.......there is no other reason, none whatsoever. There are some areas in Fl where Sunday is the only day people can vote as the inhabitants work 6 full days in a week. Many of these folks are African American, they are deeply faith filled and spend a good portion of their Sunday at their church which is also their social center. Their Pastors make every effort to get them to the polls. Eliminating that last Sunday limits the opportunity.......the GOP legislature's and Governor Scott's intention.

Last Presidential election while working the polls, one worker, and fine upstanding church going woman turned to me and said with disdain, "they're only coming to vote for him"

Frank....I have worked the polls for over 10 years early voting as well as Election Day. The ballots from each day's voting is picked up by courier accompanied by law enforcement official. As early voting is only done at county government buildings, the precincts not being ready are not a factor.

The hours for early voting have been severely cut for no other reason but to suppress the vote and that should be of deep concern for everyone. In 2008 in Fl half the ballots were cast in early voting, we were open everyday for 2 weeks and were very busy all the time. This year the ballot has 10 pages of choices, with the shorter hours, it will be a nightmare that could have been avoided.

Grimey and GBM -

Thanks to both of you for the information. As with so many other states, I guess it's the "timing" here that bothers me more than the actual changes to the laws. It's all too reminiscent of what's going on here in Pennsylvania, where the Voter ID fraud seems to have been an urban legend for decades (if not centuries) - in fact, when asked last week to document the "long history of voter impersonation fraud" he had mentioned in an interview, our Governor Tom Corbett, could only name one case, from a senate election somewhere back in the 1990's - so why the sudden rush to get all these changes in place for this particular election?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Grimey, as I indicated on First Thoughts, though, I like to vote on Election Day too. Always have, and with any luck, always will. See you there!

It is absurd. This whole coverage of the canidates has been going on for almost two years now, that is also absurd.

It only feels "early" to folks who haven't been following this stuff since Herman Cain had a chance to win the Republican nomination.

(I know that's not you, Grimey.) My God, remember when the candidates were eating corn dogs in owa and reporters cared what New Hampshire primary voters thought?

I'm ready for this campaign to be OVER.

I agree Grimey ... I love going to the polls, getting my little "I Voted" sticker and knowing that I've done what I can to create change in my town, county, and State.

Obama/Biden 2012

Since some cities in FL have 10-page ballots to wade through, they may need more than 6 weeks. The lines at the FL polls will be incredibly slow. Maybe that was the idea, slow the vote and people get tired of waiting for hours, give up and go home.

Jody it is going to be wicked. Factor in to the long lines, the heat and in most places the buildings have little shade, why its enough to make a soul give up and go to work or home.................Mission Accomplished.

Democracy works when people participate. That said, participation doesn't need to be a month and a half. A week should be plenty of time in this modern age of fast transit, fast cars, cell phones to call for help getting to polls etc. For those who simply can't make it on election day, an absentee ballot can be marked a week in advance of the election and as long as it is postmarked by midnight local time on election day should be countable. Ballots of those who are expats or serving us overseas, yes they can receive ballots no earlier than 3 weeks prior to election day. They can mail it just as they do any other mail from embassy or consulate or where ever.

Hey Grimey, are you still living in an apartment above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley?

I'm hoping that I'll be able to cast my 2016 Presidential ballot around this time next year.

Hell, cast it now, Grimes. Address your ballot to Santa Claus, c/o the North Pole.

Wrong Pal

Go for it, alan.

Ron Paul-Who? Oh you must mean that guy with the cockamaimy ideas that would never make it through Congress. He's been in Congress how long now, and only had one minor bill he proposed made into law. That guy?

at least he hasn't flip flopped on what he stands for.. Sounds like an honest person to me.

Ron Paul is not worth a second glance.

What he is suppose to be a proponent of and what he actually represents is two different things, sort of fits in with his constant flip flopping. Fiscal conservatism is the hall mark of the democratic party, republicans gave up all right to that claim when Reagan started the turn over of American democracy to the corporations and the bankers.

Romney has been a proponent and detractor of every issue in this election. He has said....on camera.....that he is in favor and against everything he says he stands/sits for.

I have no idea what he approves of.....what he really thinks about our nation......all I know is what I've heard him say with his own mouth.....and that is so contradictory that I could never vote for him.

He has flipped way too often. THAT is a person who can't be trusted.

Thank You Kevin, it's what I've been saying all along. I just can't get any Romneybots to address this issue. They just keep dogging Obama.

Romney speaks with his head clearly implanted in his anus. I'm surprised anyone can make out what he mumbles from in there.

Well, gemini, Ryan did say he was inarticulate.

Romney, by contrast, is a proponent of fiscal conservatism.

That's a line of crap. He's going to cut taxes (income), increase military spending and he claims he's NOT going to cut Social security, Medicare, education and veterans benefits all while lowering the deficit. Only a financial moron would believe that can be done. You say Romney is a "proponent" of fiscal conservatism. That means he TALKS about fiscal conservatism -- just like George W. Bush before him. (How much of a fiscal conservative was Bush?) TALK is where it stops. But -- it won't matter because he not going to win this election.

you can often click on the ignored posters' name and that takes you to their newsvine page where their comments are printed. That's how I read Concerned, if I am in the mood : )

omega and amy, I haven't been able to see them for awhile - nor do I see anything ever being collapsed anymore.

Hint ... if you want to see the ignored posts in context, go up to the top of the page, click on account and log out. Read, and then go back and log in. Note - you also can't post on an ignored poster's thread.

Happy Weekend!

Layton, that's an even better suggestion.

unemployment compensation - do you mean to tell me you are one of those people who is dependent on government? Mitt Romney has nothing but contempt for you. I hope you don't also feel entitled to healthcare!

Get's what??? he's not even close to being anything like his parents, If he was, he'd be a better person.

Romney's father would be dragging him to the wood shed for a real old fashion case of whoop as$, and Ann does not know what a working class person is all about in the least. The only thing they are interested in GETTING is your money.

Will watch said-Mr. Romney is from an auto worker family and Mrs. Romney from a coal miner family and they understand hard work, layoffs, and budgets. Hardwork, layoffs, unemployment compensation is how I have lived and I am voting for Mr. Romney-he truly gets it.

Did you really say that with a straight face,lol. I guess your father being the CEO of American Motors "could" make you from an "auto workers family" if you stretch that meaning til it busts. As for Mrs Romney,she also is from an upper crust family in Michigan.So I really doubt she's come closer to coal than maybe heating her mansion with it.He went to college on his fathers stock money.And you can bet the only hard work and layoffs he knows about were what happened to the American workers when he fired them and outsourced their jobs to China.

TR - Do you have any idea where the "Etch-a-Sketch" insult originated or are you just vomiting back left-wing slogans that some other idiot fed you? Here are the facts:

Romney's communications director Eric Fehrnstromon referred to the shift from a primary campaign to a presidential campaign by saying "I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-A-Sketch" Of course, Romney's opponents immediately pretended the remark had some significance.

Contrast this with Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor and mentor for 20 years saying, “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color.”

Intelligent people will recognize that the "etch-sketch" comment is a cute analogy by one of Romney's campaign workers; while saying that AIDS is a means of genocide against Blacks. represents a core belief that Obama has absorbed.

Kannin...Etch-a-sketch will not work for Romney, he is not drawing a picture, start overs are not allowed. He can hit his re-set button all he wants to but the history is there for all to see. Just because he wants to turn the page does not discount what he will be held accountable for. His 47% comment in living color is there for all to see, his obvious disdain, even for those who support him (the majority of those same 47%) will haunt him for the rest of his life.

I am hanging a pancake from the tree in my front yard, may even hang an American flag upside down beside it.

Now THAT is funny.

And yet, Wisconsin will vote for President Obama. I wonder if Ryan is considering salting himself to put an end to his agony and embarrassment?

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/wi/wisconsin_romney_vs_obama-1871.html

plsthink90 - President Obama won the election hands down in 2008 - unlike Bush either term he "won."

Obama/Biden 2012

I know it's hard getting your ass kicked by a community organizer but it seems likely now. If Obama wins, the GOP despite all their efforts, money and cheating since 2009 would become EPIC FAIL!

this isn't a football game, or a sport of any type. You people talk as if it is a game of some sort. We are talking about our future as a country. All of us are at each others throats. What I see are many people who are afraid for ourselves, our neighbors, our children. Most of us know that we cannot rise above the 47% that Romney disdains. We also know we work our hearts out and would stand up for our country in a heartbeat. Yet when it comes to talking about who we need to run the country it is like we turn into this horrendous pack of animals.

"There should not be early voting unless you will be gone Nov 6th."

• Ever notice how these Republicans who claim to love democracy so very much, love the Constitution so very much and love freedom so very much what to make it harder for people to vote?

By the very nature as a VULTURE capitalist Mitt Romney shows he is a sociopath. He will do or say anything, I repeat, ANYTHING to get what HE wants. He doesn't care who he stomps on in the process. If you think he cares about you listen to what he and his wife have said and how they said it. I doubt they will change as they live in a different world than average Americans. Mitt says whatever his handlers tell him to say except when they aren't able to do that and he ad libs. Then he puts his foot in his mouth right along side the sterling silver spoon.

Will watch ... horse manure ... President Obama will give me the job that pays $50.00 and provide me the protection that should I be injured will be taken care of, If I were fighting for the nation, will be cared for when I return.

With Romney, I will get minimum wage, no benefits, no security and if I were to be injured I would be fired and my wages garnished for not being able to complete the task I was hired to perform.

Mitt Romney's generosity stops with his family and if you need help you are no friend of his. His religion and faith is also worn on his sleeve, his character and actions do not exemplify belief in the teachings. If they did he would not be lying out of the sides of his mouth or conforming to extreme right wing rhetoric. He would have called out the liars of his own party much as John McCain did regarding accusations that our President is Muslim. McCain has ten times ten the honor and integrity of some low life like Romney. Romney is a spoiled rich brat with an over developed sense of entitlement and an elitist attitude of superiority, the true American Nazi.

Mr. Romney offers us strength and renewed vigor to keep looking and he offers us self respect.

*facepalm*

*rolls eyes*

Again, horse manure ...Romney bought Chinese factories complete with living quarters for the employees that were little more than cages. He not only sent jobs to China, he owns those Chinese factories.

oh, you mean like the Chinese factories where General Motors is going to be building cars? Part of the 70% of total production that GM plans on making OUTSIDE of the US? In factories financed by our "bailout?"

As for who owns the factories in China, you obviously don't have a clue what the hell your talking about. My bet is that China, like most countries, (and particularly communist ones) has laws AGAINST any foreigners owning a controlling interest in any factories or companies within their borders.

Keep drinking the koolaid, but the voices in your head will never go away. They'll just start whispering disturbing things to you... like "what were you thinking when you voted for that guy again?"

Everyone can't vote on the same day can they? Early voting is a way to keep the polls from looking like Ohio in 2004. And by the way, the 2004 election was the biggest bit of fraud I've ever seen for a developed nation like ours. We should have been ashamed of ourselves back then.

Horse manure Jim in Oregon ... Many military votes for Al Gore were not counted because the military could not get those ballots back in time to be counted. Just one more election stolen from democrats by republicans.

We are so lucky that we have such a leader after the mess made by the last one. With cooperation from Congress we can return to the greatness we once had as a people and as a nation. We can get rid of the greed that is tearing this nation apart. He must be allowed to continue his work in leading us during our period of recovery from the worst Administration in many decades and possibly ever.

we had such a leader... John F Kennedy. He was murdered. and most likely by our own government.

I feel the same dream and do truly believe we already have that man as President of the United States Of America, I will vote to support him against those who are enemies of this nation...foreign and domestic.

Domestic Enemies / Traitors = T E A P U B L I C A N S

You mean the party of no budget through the senate for 3 years correct?

You mean the party of no improvement in employment in 3 years because more people are unemployed now than when the president (who happens to be of that party) took office?

You mean the party of no responsiblity to work to get welfare?

You mean the party of no school choice so that those at the very bottom of our soceity can learn skills to help them up and out of poverty?

You mean the party of no whose presidential candidate gave sweetheart deals to companies that went bankrupt?

You mean the party of no that doesn't want America to drill for oil within its own borders so it can be energy independant right?

I agree!!!

The party of "No leadership", "no responsibility", "no plan for the future other than to denigrate those that have ideas", and the party of "no meeting with foreign dignitaries, I'm to busy as president with talk shows and playing golf with his rich buddies for that", and "no that wasn't a terrorist attack", really does need to go!

America SHOULD get out and VOTE!

They should get out and VOTE OUT every incumbent! Every one of them!.

Or do you want to go "Forward" with the existing party in power that historically brought us such things as continued support for slavery, then segregation long after the rest of the civilized world had passed laws outlawing such activites. Or maybe you want to continue with the party in power that now pursues an agenda that has as its historical basis in the "Progressive" movement of the 1920s and 30s and bring back things like forced sterilization for blacks and "other undesireables", censureship of those who disagree with you, and appoligizing to the terrorists that tortured and murdered our ambassador.

Sorry, some of us have watched history and seen what happens when "progressive" socialists took control of the USSR, Germany, China, and any number of other countries around the world were "leaders" said it was necessary to "make the rich give more" and did nothing but kill people and redistribute poverty to the rest. Well, except for the ones in power themselves.

Funny how progressives like to claim there is a "trickle down theory" of economics (there isn't) and proclaim that their "redistribution of wealth" is better for everyone. Funny, because every, yes EVERY country that has been tried in for the past 100+ years has done nothing but create a "trickle up" economy that resulted in the Politburo getting rich and fat while the people they claimed they were going to help starved.

Obama has the media in his pocket so deep they will never see sunshine. He better hope they never turn on him or his goose is cooked.

That might happen if/when he decides to implement his executive order to shut down the internet. Per Napolitano, that should be ready for release "any day now." Once he shuts that off there will be no voice of opposition, and he can start controlling them with an iron fist instead of lollipops.

Bobw-664334 u are a f***k**g idiot. your ignorance and complete lack of education is expressed in your statements. Here some advice for you.

Go to the dentist you can have more then one tooth. 2nd stop using family function to pick up women. Having babies with your mom and sister it just continues breeding your line of more ignorant racist idiots. The media are not liberal biased. They are facts and truth biased. Republicans hate truth and facts cause it show their ignorant and lying azzs ways. Do you actual believe u have a say or voice in your party. If your not in the top one percent then you are nothing but a lazy moocher and thats from your moron god. So third please shut up and worship to your Mormon god Romney and beg for his forgiveness cause you are a moocher then maybe he might give u some trickle on economics. open your mouth and go yum yum you moocher.

BobW: when Obama wins re-election, we hope you continue to contribute your inane rantings in this forum. The entertainment is priceless.
