First-Time North Carolina Voters Confused By Straight-Ticket Ballots
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kelly-nuxoll/firs...

The poll worker prompted him, “Are you voting straight ticket?”

“I ain't never voted before,” Amel blurted.

Although I was past the line for electioneering, I jumped in and said that the poll worker was repeating what the Obama volunteer had said: one circle for president, and a separate circle if he wanted to vote straight Democrat.

“Awright,” said Amel. “'Cause I'm definitely voting for Obama.” Behind him, a few people in line chuckled, which cheered him up.

Hope's group disappeared inside, and while the volunteers waited, the head of the Durham Election Board strolled up and down the line in a head-to-toe Uncle Sam outfit. “Democracy is happening!” he sang. “Democracy is happening!”

In fifteen minutes, out came Amel and Malcom, both with their chests puffed out and their eyes bright. Hope, it turned out, had indeed made a mistake: she'd voted for Obama, then straight-ticket Democrat, then had meticulously filled in the bubbles for every other Democratic candidate. A poll worker assured here it would've been fine, but Hope asked for a fresh ballot because she wanted it to be perfect. When she emerged a full forty-five minutes later, she was sashaying.

“I was so nervous, but I did it,” she said. She reminded me again of her birth certificate. “Today I voted for Obama,” she said. “And tomorrow's my birthday!”

What is so disturbing to me is that he carries out such low-ball tactics on the campaign trail and then turns around in a venue like the dinner or SNL and transforms into something totally different.

I know that the negativity is leaving an imprint on him and he is showing almost multiple personalities at this point. Quite scary, IMHO.

That is what I do not understand. When you look over the last 30 years how the parties had helped the majority of Americans, these people are I am afraid to say are clueless.

“The Census Bureau has tracked the economic fortunes of affluent, middle-class and poor American families for six decades. According to my analysis, these tabulations reveal a wide partisan disparity in income growth. The real incomes of middle-class families grew more than twice as fast under Democratic presidents as they did under Republican presidents. Even more remarkable, the real incomes of working-poor families (at the 20th percentile of the income distribution) grew six times as fast when Democrats held the White House. Only the incomes of affluent families were relatively impervious to partisan politics, growing robustly under Democrats and Republicans alike.”

The vast disparity of wealth this country has seen over the last few years has primarily gone to those on the top. Just in that Bill Maher clip I posted these people are being mislead. Just like when they get upset over the issue of Estate Tax or what they like to label it as the Death Tax. Little do they know it only affects only estates of over $2 million for individuals and over $4 million for couples, but the Republicans have convinced them or mislead them that this affects them.

I agree with you 100%, it is just that I do not believe the facts bare their concerns out. I just do not believe what they aspire to, and have proven to improve our society as a whole.

They have sacrificed much.

Obama's home has long produced black stars

CHICAGO – At age 19, South Side resident Conrad Cochran waited in line to cast his very first vote for William L. Dawson, a ground-breaking African-American politician from the neighborhood who was running for Congress. Forty-five years later, Cochran stood for more than an hour to vote for another exceptional politician who called the South Side home: Harold Washington, Chicago's first black mayor in 1983.

“But he's not running to be the leader of the black community,” Axelrod said. “He's running to be president of the United States.”

WOW! THIS IS OUR MOMENT!! AMEN!! :>)

Obama-Biden '08!!!!! TRUST

Viewing the trolls that have hit this site in the last day, you can easily see how misinformed these people truly are. It is truly bizarre to watch people make the arguments they make about taxes and other issues when they are in economic crisis, and they are worried about higher taxes for the top 1%. I do not know how the Republicans have gotten these people to vote against their interests, but it is purely amazing in how they do this. They never use any facts to support these claims of taxes, and socialism, just Republican talking points.

I am not sure if you saw this, but Cornel West was on Bill Maher Friday night and broke it down precisely. He did this all while Amy Holmes was spitting out the same stupid talking points we have heard the last few years, and that these trolls have been spouting also.

If you watch Holmes, she is spewing the same nonsense these trolls have been spewing, without a fact to back up what she says, and despite all the evidence that says they are wrong.
