Personal request to conservatives

[BOSSHOG]

Would one of you inbred motherfuckers please attempt to question my voting rights next Tuesday.

[The Traveler]

1. Yeah, me too ...

I'll be one of the guys wearing a black hoodie.

[archineas]

2. black hoodie

the number of kerry pins on my black hoodie is increasing. i have my voter registration card and my photo ID and just INSIST that one of you gasbags question my registration. TRY and stop me from voting.

i live in ohio, and we know what to expect from their "poll watchers".

3. right there with you brotha !

I already voted though. I was just hoping that someone would stop me. I had a video camera with me, was all prepared to call the news, etc. I even sat around and waited to see if it might be happening elsewhere to someone else.

Nothing happened, and I was in the county subcourt polling place - possibly the only non-minority there.

But this is Texas - it's just assumed the vote is already in the red bag, so probably no problems like that here, especially since the sheeple here completely trust the BBV system.

4. You are confusing right-wingers for conservatives.

[Roland99]

5. Hear! Hear! For I am a conservative, myself.

Just happen to be one with a brain, though. ;)

[BOSSHOG]

6. No I'm not

They are in the same bed. They will vote for the same candidates. Conservatives can't accept right wing votes and use right wing hate and right wing dirty tricks to advance their causes and then sit back and casually suggest they are above it all. When several prominent "conservatives" step to the podium and forthrightly and matter of factly denounce "right wingers" then I may alter my thoughts about conservatives. The conservative movement in this country has a cancer on it; and they are making no effort to eradicate it.

7. True conservatives are pissed off at Bush.

True conservatives (not right wingers or neocons) reject:

* the way America's reputation got trashed
* high deficits
* foreign adventurism
* so-called Patriot Act
* prison scandals
* cutting Veteran's benefits and hospitals

Also, conservation and conservative have the same root for a good reason.

Ultimately, your "motherfucker" language you use is a symptom of being blind with rage. Don't get mad, get focused, get out the vote.

8. There will be a battle royale for the soul of the Republican party Nov. 3.

[Roland99]

9. No, you're distorting and generalizing.

The only wrong done by the conservatives is to allow the GOP to be hijacked by neoconservatives and Christian Reconstructionists.

[BOSSHOG]

14. I haven't distorted their allowance

Thanks for proving my point. "Conservatives" in America today are benefitting from the actions of right wingers and to date they have not significantly objected to those actions.

[Roland99]

17. Then how do you explain people like me?

Or former Nixon/Ford/Reagan/Bush, Sr. officials or former Senators or Representatives who have publicly criticized Bush and even stated they will vote for Kerry?

How do you explain groups like Republicans for Kerry?

[BOSSHOG]

18. In a previous post you admitted the party had been taken

over by Neos. Next tuesday the vast majority of "conservatives" will vote for the "conservative" candidate george bush. There are conservatives in this country today with a conscience and like liberals of the 90's and earlier did little to advance their cause other than to vote. I was rather apolitical until the mid 90's when the "conservative" assault on Bill Clinton led by "conservatives" pissed me off to the point of action. Hopefully those like you will very soon come to that point and return the gop from the gutter where it has been taken with nary a peep of objection from its members. Yes, there is an occasional chirp, what is needed is full scale assault. Nothing less will defeat the "conservatives" who are in charge of the gop today.

[Roland99]

19. We're already seeing that movement.

Look at Buchanan's criticisms of Bush.

Look at Suskind's piece from the NY Times Sunday Magazine.

Heck, even some of the neocons have criticized Bush's handling of the war.

10. Oh please, I would love to see that!

Please have someone with a camera accompany you to the polls! I want pictures.

11. I can't believe how lucky I am to live in civilized New Jersey

And in a mostly Democratic town, too. But even if I were a Republican, this area is politically peaceful.

I can't imagine what it must be like to live in an area where they try to keep you from voting.

And notice - it's all Republicans doing the suppressing. Democrats want to spread the franchise, Republicans want to restrict it. I wrote about this on my blog this morning, if anyone's interested.

12. bring pies

Would it be illegal to throw a pie in the face of anyone who challenges your right to vote? :+

If you get some pictures, you'll be almost guaranteed to get newspaper or TV coverage.

[ejcastellanos]

13. Why no response in kind?

I think a few Michael Clark Duncan types at the polls questioning the right to vote of white voters could make an interesting story.

Would it be possible to antagonize the pollwatchers enough to get them ejected from polling sites?

[Anaxamander]

15. I'm taking the "Cedric the Entertainer" approach...

I wish a motherfucker WOULD try to disenfranchise me. I know those right wing assholes tell themselves liberals are sissies, but they're dead wrong. I'm not a person who advocates violence, but I will make an exception on November 2, 2004 if someone tries some shit with me. I'm willing to fight right now for my rights and for the rights of others. And I'm big.

[Skittles]

16. GAWD

I SALIVATE at the thought of one of those f***ing trolls challenging ME.
