Republican Facebook meme of the day is so insulting

"The results will show democrats leading all day until the republicans get off work." I got three friends posting this crap. It's so funny to be unemployed and no republican is ever unemployed!

I know two staunch rush-republicans on unemployment right now - I should email them that.

and say "forget it!"

If Republicans were REAL patriots they'd get up early and go to the polls when they open BEFORE they go to work like I'm doing.

is that the Repubs can't make cute jokes by themselves! They have to follow the leader and repost unoriginal ideas. I also saw that on Facebook last night, by a friend that realized YESTERDAY that she was not registered to vote.

7. The Ones I'm Seeing...

...are being quite subdued this morning. One put up a "Pray before you vote"...and another bemoaned that Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan came out for President Obama yesterday. Seems I've seen even the biggest teabaggers getting challenged and being beaten into a blubbering goo on many threads. You can tell fatigue has set in harder on their side than ours. They really don't like Willard but they hate President Obama more...but in recent days as the President's numbers have surged (even they admit it now) the air has gone out of their balloon.

was at the polls at 6am to vote for the President. And I wasn't alone in those who needed to catch a train to Manhattan. They're trying not to give up hope which I understand.

13. I posted a challenge on FB one time regarding unemployment. Asking for one

example of a Republican that was unemployed that took a lower paying job rather than collect unemployment. I have never seen one do it, and I've known many unemployed Republicans. No one had an example. I know I never did it but I was willing to one time.

I had been playing the game, being real selective about where I applied on my 'job search". I applied at both Albertsons grocery stores but specified produce department only. That's the only job I'd take at one of those places, I did my time as a grocery department guy.

I had also been a delivery guy servicing those stores and one of them had just opened an Albertsons Express. That's a little conveniance store they put up with their fuel station. The woman that took the Express managers job noticed my application and remembered me. She saw it was produce only but called me anyway. I said WTF! I might as well check it out. I was interested in working graveyard there even though it would be a major paycut. I'd still no doubt get to draw partial unenjoyment. I thought experience running a till might be good anyway. No such luck. I didn't realize they closed that place at 11:00. I turned her down but got a dairy route delivery job two weeks later.

Even exit polls are embargoed until polls are closed.

18. The "Only Republicans Work" meme is dying a slow death.

The largest growth of government assistance is to the Red states.

There are far more White Republicans seeking assistance fromt the states and federal government than any other demographic.

I'm tired of my taxes going to Lazy Republican Welfare Queens.
