Impeding Democracy is No Way to Win the Vote

Let’s talk about the Presidential race and what is surely going to happen tonight. This is what gets people fired up so let’s delve in. I don’t doubt that we will be waiting at least through tomorrow to find out which candidate wins this election. Yes, it’s a bold claim to make at this point, but I love a good election so why not prolong it?

Election lawyers have been chomping at the bit for weeks now in anticipation of a recount. Why wouldn’t they be? I just got done voting and the polling place looked like a geriatric’s ward. Great system we have… why not put senior citizens, who have a tough time using their Jitterbugs, in charge of the state’s election process. Chances are likely that there is going to be good reason for lawyers to debate the legitimacy of results.

What’s worse, it isn’t just old people that are out to slow down the election for all of us. Groups like the NAACP have been hard at work promoting “equality” for minority voters. In Houston this group practically ran the polling places while advocating for Obama and hand picking people to move forward in the lines. Now look at the fact that the National Urban League’s annual report showed that equality of African Americans (you know the group that the NAACP advocates on behalf) has fallen 71.5% under the Obama administration. This seems to me an awful lot like race based voting, but I digress. Point is: this benevolent, equality promoting organization is standing in the way of democracy.

Other issues however have to be blamed on that bitch Sandy who ravaged the East coast last week. I feel horrible for the people who, among worrying about food and shelter, have to think about how to find a polling place and get there. I have to suggest that, although Sandy wasn’t registered to cast a vote, she’s a democrat and her first victim was Chris Christie.

So I think it’s going to take a while for final results to actually come in. Big deal. It has happened in other races and I’m certainly not implying that this is going to be a repeat of the 2000 election. Despite my ideology, I will boldly say that Obama is going to win this election. Yes, I hate to say this, and I hope there aren’t any undecided voters who still plan on going to the polls reading, but it’s true.

Up until about a week ago Rasmussen and the Pew Research Center, the two most accurate pollsters of the 2008 election had the candidates at a virtual tie. In the past week both have now shown results of Obama barely taking the lead today.

It’s not over yet but I must say this: To all of you who drank the Obama Kool-Aid, remember there is still nearly 50% of the country that believes we need real change and an end to ridiculous entitlements that are literally going to bankrupt the country. When taxes go up on small businesses that make $250,000, when hostile countries harbor our enemies and don’t take this country seriously and when unemployment still hovers around 8% four years from now we’ll see how close the election is.
