5 Signs at Pa. Polling Place: "NO PARKING FOR DEMOCRATS"

These Guys have the lamest senses of Humor.... they probably thought they we fucking hilarious at the time

------------------------

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/11/pennsylvania-democrats-no-parking



Early this afternoon in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, there were five signs in place aimed at stopping Democrats from parking near a polling station, according to Pennsylvania voters Erica Gust and Lori Marks. One read: "NO PARKING FOR DEMOCRATS - WALK THAT WILL BE THE MOST WORK YOU DO ALL DAY." The signs were mounted on barricades—one directly in front of the polling place entrance.

According to Gust, who snapped the enclosed photo with her smartphone, when she returned later in the afternoon, the sign directly in front of the entrance had been removed, but the four others remained. The polling place is on Van Vorrhis in Fallowfield Township, in southwest Pennsylvania. According to Marks, several drivers who pulled up to the polling place were following the directive on the signs, driving away and parking across the street at a nearby library instead.

It remains unclear who posted the signs.

Anyone stopping me would be admitting they tried to suppress the vote with them.

He wouldn't have time to hang the sign, would he? I've got two jobs. I teach school from 6 am to 9 pm five days a week. Screw that "Democrats are unemployed" bullshit. I'm sitting in a meeting right now.

(Or, as is the "norm" around here, 8 to 5...grr.)

Some, like myself, work variable hours...or evenings, or weekends. Or the graveyard shift.

I'm astonished that they didn't take variable hours into consideration.

They think everybody is exactly like them, or should be exactly like them.

greedy, uncaring, unpatriotic, as this current crop. What has happened to a once proud party? I hope it disappears, and tonight may be the beginning of the end for them. They deserve nothing better than total failure.

A friend told me a guy on her job made a joke that the democrats were voting so early because they don't work and that all the republicans would be voting after working hours.
