Comments on: Will Dress Code Affect Your Right To Vote?

Battles Over Voter Signups, Residency And Polling Place Etiquette May Block Your Ballot

Looking at the article above and the anti-Obama and anti-Democratic comments below the US looks more and more like Iran or Israel.
Apparently some people are more American than others so they take it upon themselves to tell you how to dress if you want to vote, or to condemn and smear others because they don''t like what they''re doing in the country.
Man, I never thought I''d see the day the US would apart like this.

Here, everybody is in and out in about 5 minutes. You don''t see anyone hanging around outside. If someone''s name isn''t on the list, then you just have to show two pieces of ID. And we don''t have those baaaad voting machines.:)

There are lots of places to express your political opinions, and a polling place on election day is not one of them. Normal people realize that.

I didn''t know the constitution discriminates against people''s clothing. I guess you neocons will find away around the constitution, one way or another.

You''re a damm liar. ACORN is a community based organization dedicated to promoting housing for people. You are a sick damm liar and you will have your judgment.

[rudy654-2009]

It seems that the neocons are intent on stealing the election. I hope they don''t succeed.

You speak of ''''common sense''''

Would you change your vote just because someone else was wearing a shirt or button as they voted? Are you that easily influenced?

Posted by TallyMan2008 at 01:23 PM : Oct 04, 2008

No, but there are a lot of other people out there that have no "common sense" and are easily influenced.

[mydiatribe]

Tough dress code??? Apparently, they expect you to be dressed.

The night of Nov. 4th, I''m going to throw my door open and listen to the collective whine of the the Bush voters carried across the winds as Obama is declared President elect.

During the last presidential election of Bush vs. Kerry I was informed that I would not be permitted to vote due to a T-shirt that I was wearing. The T-shirt was imprinted with a slogan that read, "Bush lied while soldiers died". I have always voted and am a Democrat, an honorably discharged, service connected disabled, US Navy veteran that takes the right to vote seriously. The official that denied my vote was voting Republican that year evidenced by the Bush-Cheney yard sign posted in her front yard that was both in my neighborhood and voting precinct. After being made to don a female''s jacket that was too small and made to button it entirely so that the slogan could not be seen, I was allowed to cast my ballot. The jacket was furnished by a different sympathetic official that thought it was an injustice to turn away a disabled US veteran. This occurred in Nashville, TN.

In their lawsuit, two election officials warn that, if the memo stands, "nothing would prevent a partisan group from synchronizing a battalion of like-minded individuals ... to descend on a polling place, presenting a domineering, united front, certain to dissuade the average citizen who may privately hold different beliefs."

can you believe this paranoid schizophrenic ***? these pollsters are pus sy repubs who are afraid that the big bad dems are going to gang up on them. Give me a break...you know what that mindset comes from? Being afraid of something you do your dam self.

This dress code will matter. Check out PitbullPalin.com for cool designs of Pitbull Palin and Maverick McCain on shirts and other stuff. "Show your vote" on election day.

[kittykatty2]

gctomajtom...yeah, you probably would think that...you strike me as someone who doesn''t use too much gray matter to do his thinking. i''m sure singinrich doesn''t need an alternate log on as there seem to be more people here who agree with him than not.

[kittykatty2]

antoniof123- well if we do what you suggest, who is going to man the polls?

[kittykatty2]

oh tuckerphuck...you are so full of it. I''ll bet you hang around the polling stations with fascist neocon buttons up and down your chest. you just don''t like anyone with a different view espousing their opinion. Fascist swine.

[antoniof123]

What is going on in this country.

Voting is a right not a luxury that can be taken away.

Find the people who are trying to cause problems in the vote and shoot them.

[kittykatty2]

onemoretim...how about: you can put lipstick on a pitbull...but you don''t have to vote for her...or...be a responsible pet owner...spay your pitbull.

[kittykatty2]

singinrich I couldn''t agree with you more. gctomajtom you aren''t american are you? you can''t be with that fascist attitude...oh, maybe you are american...one of the nazi lovin'' bushbabies. You are a pitiful specimen of what years of brainwashing can do. YOU ARE THE VOICE OF HATE. Go spew YOUR trash somewhere else.

[noirceur]

How dare they try to tell me what I can and can''t wear to vote.Were led to believe that the U.S. is freedom.HA!Thats becoming a joke more and more with each passing year.And people who have lost their home,losing their right to vote...what kind of
bullsh!t is that.

[mominmaine]

Another right-wing extremist ploy to try and steal an election. Republicans, in their typical hypocritical fashion, couldn''t care less about real democracy. They can best be described as petulant and privileged
with low moral character and mediocre minds. They simply feel entitled to the office and will do pretty much anything to get it. Nothing is too low for this type. They''ll spends a ton of money, lie, manipulate and assassinate the character of people whose shoes they are not fit to shine. They are in a word, unAmerican.

[kc629]

Why can''''t the Republicans let all the Americans vote. A country which was founded on everyone having equal say and rights, should embrace the chance to have a true election. Let every American over the age of 18 vote and actually count all of the votes in this election. It would be nice to have an election where all Americans voted and the votes were actually counted and a true democracy would prevail. It used to happen!!!!
