I question the posts about the homeless:
1) Why can’t they vote?
2) To register to vote they need some proof of residence. Which most homeless people have no proof of residency. So if they don’t have an address what polling station do they vote at?
3) Every four years both parties all over the country give rides, load the the bus to polling stations. This nothing new.
(And in regards to “the most racist depiction of a party in history” I am think prior to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, wins.)
I’ve encouraged all my family and friends to send back their postcards for ballots. That’s one sure way to get them to vote. If all these ballots aren’t scaring the likes of Jones and Reynolds their in for a shock on the night of November 4th. Just maybe we’ll bring our do nothing big time congressman from West Chester home.
I only hope that those voting democrat at the top of the ticket are also voting democrat down ticket. How nice it would be to see Rick Jones and Courtney Combs having to go out and find real jobs.
Fortunately we live in a country where we can vote for our leaders. Every citizen, whether they be homeless, college student, or just turning 18 have the right to vote. Just because “you” provide the bus, the people who get on it do so by their own free will. It also doesn’t guarantee that at the end of the day “you” get their vote. Sen Obama is offering an opportunity for everyone to excercise their constitutional right. I agree with Kevin, if the Rep.don’t do the same thing then shame on them!
Government must be REFORMED in D.C. earmarks,lobbying,unfunded mandates to the states must be ended.GSE’s like freddie and fannie and sallie must be privitzed, we must get our congress out of the private sector as much as possibe. Strong oversight can be emplaced to deal with any more chicanery on Wall street.Legislation requiring lenders to loan to unqualified people must be repealed.
I think this is unfair, run like a union, and sickening. Hussein Obama is getting homeless people to vote who have done so never in their lifes, for him for a cab fare and a beer. College students are entertained by black John Legend while the buses await to take the dumb college kids down to vote for a 35% corporate tax rate, destroying their jobs out of college. He has 99% of the black vote, the most racist depiction of a party in history, while while and women are duped into oratory lies.
my concern right now is having a fair vote,loading the busses with the homeless and any one else they can pick up to get a vote is wrong. am i still living in AMERICA? WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN STOPPED?
Problems in our economy can be at least partially attributed to the US involvement in Iraq for the past five years. We have absolutely no business being there, especiallly after it was determined that there were no “weapons of mass destruction” present. But still, the Bush Administration has spent 3/4 of a trillion dollars on Iraq! Isn’t that figure ironic, since Bush is asking congress for $700 billion to bail out the financial institutions, roughly the same amount spent on the “war?”
My main concern is how many people are voting and voting often? ACORN helped to load up the buses Tuesday and if republicans don’t do the same it’s their own fault.
The economy-jobs-stocks/portfolios/retirement- getting out of Iraq-new direction for the country-immigration-many issues that are important,not just one.The country is in shambles right now. Polarization between the parties/people to the point of hatred.I hope that the younger people get involved.It’s not good enough to just register, you’ve also got to vote.Last election many young people never made it to the polls even though they registered.No matter who wins,we need to change the direction.

Many Republicans like myself voted in the Democratic primary because it was still contested (McCain already had the votes by the Ohio primary).
Just wondering the legality of a political affiliation providing services like bus fare and free entertainment to have folks vote.
