Obama campaign to worshipers: Ditch work and school on Election Day for The One
Just arrived in my inbox: The latest directive from Dear Leader’s National Field Director, Jon Carson, instructing cultists to take Election Day off and skip out of work and classes for The One.
The pursuit of “Higher Purpose” requires Obama followers to skip out of their jobs and play hooky from school — while others pick up the slack.
Welcome to “redistributive change!”

I’m a low income single parent.
I have a family to support, and I’m due for another raise where I work because I’ve been putting in extra hours and doing the work that nobody else wants to do to get ahead.
The polls open early, and they close late…. I’ll vote AFTER work, thanks.
Please, please, PLEASE knock on my door!
They aren’t asking people to take the day off just to vote, they are asking people to take the day off, forfiet your pay for that day, and volunteer for free for Obama. Nothing to see here…move along…
Another elitist ploy. Take a day off work? If my employer found out I missed a day to vote my butt would have been out the gate so fast. If you think these Democrat Ya-Ya’s are sensitive to the middle class there is a bridge over the Mississippi here at St Louis that’s for sale cheap.
Well after voting all 4-or more- times they will need time for the “thizzle thang”, high-fives and acting the fool.That is for both of them who actually have a job.
Hahah – big deal – Obama is gonna tax you more and turnaround and then give it to those worthless employees you terminated.
What a freaking demagogue he is.
Familyman – tell your daughter there are many of us – my husband and I are two…and we have scattered friends in other universities who are closeted conservatives. It’s interesting that many more of them are in the business schools – interesting but not at all surprising.
Of course – should McCain/Palin not be able to pull this out (but I pray that they will) – I will probably not be in academe anymore – but will be joining the revolution that I pray will come. (I’m thinking of watching the old movie “Red Dawn” to inspire me!)
Could be the same ones with the bong in their living room.
I hear Whorebama is enticing voters with free booze and condoms. I’m voting for Whorebama because Obamagirl has a nice set and Whorebama has promised all the losers like me a free Obamagirl.
I’m surrounded by fellow conservatives. My vote will be of little consequence because my state is 70% Republican.
So if they come to your door, GIVE THEM HELL FOR ME.
I love how the dems are saying one party rule will be sooooo much better. Pelosi even said it would be more “bi-partisan”
Tighten your seat belts because this is going to be a bumpy ride…
Accept thier ride to the polls and just tell all your voters the truth about obama all the way to the polls.
Is less traffic in LA the silver-lining in a dark cloud? I live in LA too and can agree that less traffic is less stress, but with BO we will be stressed due standing in lines waiting for the government giving us a “quality” life.
Bread lines, healthcare lines, fuel lines…….wow, too stressed to mention any more lines…

I AM taking election day off…because I have the “honor” of working as a Republican Judge of Elections in Chicago.
It’ll be a looooong day.
*sigh*
^5’s to cubbiegal for doing the job that real Americans refuse to do. ;oP
FamilyMan: In warfare you make you enemies use up thier resources and save your own. Economy of fires…
Good GOD woman. Do you get combat pay?
Good luck!
It’s good that we still have you on this earth. I hope you feel 100% soon.
Now you know why the MSM picked him. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do something about these open primaries. If you live in an open primary state, it’s time to start writing your state representatives while the issue is still fresh on their minds.
I recommend a kavlar helmet with a good bullet proof vest to include front and back plates.
I can see it now…
Polling place intimidation.
Thats a problem for me since I am a registered independant. I could only vote in the DNC primary. Ironicly I voted for shudder, Obama. Thats when I didn’t think he would make it. More fool me.
WE ALL BELIEVE IN REDEMPTION ON THIS BLOG.
Take the rest of that week off to riot!
Not to rain on your “national o day” (LC on purpose) but, actually, that has been going on for years. And in other counties as well. The schools are used as polling places and the admins don’t want any “un-escorted adults” mixing with the kids. \sc And, of course, where would the teachers park? sc/
THANK YOU cubbiegal for your dedication.
A Women’s work is never done.
A lot of Women have already compared, John McCain and Barack Obama and found Obama SEXIST. Question for Barack Obama, how many women voters do you suppose you have ticked off?
There is a backlash coming from women, on the treatment of Sarah Palin. This has been building since Hillary Clinton got 18,000,00. votes, and lost the primary. There has not been any valve to relieve the pressure. Barack Obama and his supporters are demeaning to women and Barack Obama has not DENOUNCED the t-shirt that T-Shirt didn’t go un-noticed he had his chance at the last debate, to be the Bigger candidate, when John McCain brought it up. What did Obama reply? I can’t remember. Barack Obama speaks but later you can’t remember what he said?

Is that what our country has come down to? When I was a kid our schools used a vacant classroom. Are “unescorted adults” really that dangerous. Something is terribly wrong with this picture.
GEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

You know, in all the years I’ve been voting, I’ve never had to blow off a whole day of work (or school) to do it.
Exactly. That’s why the polls open early and close late in the evening; so we don’t HAVE to take a whole day off (assuming we have anything to take a day off FROM) in order to vote.
Leave it to some (*coughObamasupporterscough*) to use it as an excuse to “play hookey”.
It has not been all that long ago that everything shut down to vote. Something I personally feel we should go back to.
The prevalence of all mail voting has done nothing but increase opportunity for fraud.
Vote in person, dip the finger in purple dye. Vote once. Good enough for Iraq, should be good enough for us.
Is any one really surprised that the Obama faction contains a large segment of the lazy? That is a core constituent of the Democrat party. Obama suggesting taking the day off is like buying votes. Not that he would do that.
so, lemme get this right; Obama is asking those who protest oustide the Berkeley military recruiters to ‘take a day off’ to vote?
The protesters down the street from me right now to take a ‘day off’?
The street people that bother me every single day at lunch time to take ‘off’?
The ones that throw dangerous things off the overpass onto passing cars to ‘take off work’?
He must mean the nearly criminally insane that cut & kill outside of the quickie marts routinely every night to ‘take off’?
Have I gotten to the right segment of voters yet?
No Dummy, I am guessing she didn’t skip school.
http://sarah-palin-2008.blogspot.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-is-brainiac.html
This goes right along with Obama’s “spread the wealth” plan.
Entice workers to stay home…someone else will do the job and you won’t have to….
Folks. If any of your conservative friends aren’t voting, get in their face and say;
GOOD GOD MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED SO YOU COULD VOTE.
Then very nicely offer to take them to the polls and afterwards share a time with them at the local coffee shop.
It’s the little gestures like that that win elections.
Michelle whats up with this?
http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/oct/26/ask-rokey-suleman-to-count-the-votes-of-ameri/
Not counting soldiers votes?
Remember when the grownups used to tell us to stay in school, study hard, and work hard? Am I that old?
Holy cow wighttrasch Where do you live?
Your so so old fashion. Get with program/sarc
I have been reluctant to vote early because I want my vote to count and I suspect that my ballot, in the hands of Democrats for several days before Nov 4th, would be inspected and, when found to be for Republicans, conveniently discarded or destroyed.
In the middle of nowhere,Missouri, FamilyMan. It’s the bloody same everywhere!
That said, I am stirred in my spirit this morning about this particular post, and I will be voting early. Why? See my next comment.
Obama has been encouraging his supporters to ALL vote early. So, why do they need to take off November 4th?
I believe that Obama’s supporters will be used less for “Get out the Democrat Vote” and more for “Suppress the Republican Vote”.
Those of us who planned to vote and the go to work on Nov 4th may find that their attempts to vote are blocked by “thug thizzlers”. I suspect that that anything that can be done to disrupt voting on Nov 4th will be done.
Obama and his thugs will try to win/steal this election “By Any Means Necessary“.

Even in the event of a McCain/Palin win, expect drawn out legal challenges a la 2000 (and what they almost did again in 2004).
Check this out…Obama Truth squad for the election:
http://truth.voteforchange.com/
The only “Truth” is their truth. It has no basis in reality. Only in what makes them feel good.
All of you folks should take a moment and look at yourselves – you are all full of it.
You have a problem with people participating in the democratic process – what kind of Americans have a problem with their brothers and sisters participating in the democratic process?
I dunno, you tell me why Obama’s supporters are so intent on keeping McCain’s supporters from voting and feel the need to intimidate and threaten as well as attack and vandalize.
So as a conservative academic (I know my head should explode) – I’ve considered all day what to do with students who don’t come to class next Tues. Here’s my two options as I see them.
a) Every student who doesn’t come to class – I take a portion of their points they’ve earned thus far and redistribute them to the students who did come to class on Tues.
Now the problem with that is that the underlying premise is that those who worked hard (i.e. came to class) get rewarded. And that runs counter to B0’s plans. So…
plan b) Take points from all the students who DID show up and redistribute them to those who didn’t come – and to those who are struggling in class (namely cause they don’t come to class)….and that’s what B0 claims is fair.
Of course if I go with plan b – no one will show up to class and I can go home early and get rip-roaring drunk while I watch the returns.
Seems like I lose either way…..maybe I’ll just give a surprise quiz and be done with it.
NO NO NO ……..its the day after the election he wants ya’ll to take off. Because if he loses he wants his followers to protest…..peacefully!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO

With all due respect, it is YOU who has a problem with the democratic process. Others here are questioning the idea that it is really necessary to take a day off from work/school to vote. You have previously demanded an apology from anyone who did not vote the same way you did in the last two elections. People who “believe in the democratic process” don’t say things like that.
All I know is, I don’t need to take a whole day off to cast my vote.
People who believe in the democratic process don’t support an organization like ACORN, which has had employees in more than one state convicted of felony election fraud, has employees in other states currently on trial for the same, and which in each of the past three election cycles has built a record of submitting fraudulent voter registrations.
One of the two main candidates in this election supports, and is supported in turn by ACORN. . . and it’s not McCain.
Um, no, I don’t have a problem w/someone taking a day off of work to vote…I have a problem w/someone telling those who don’t work anywhere, anytime to ‘take off’ from something they don’t have, to vote for something they can get from me!
Actually the gym or cafeteria are used. It is paranoia to the max. They are afraid if a “bad” adult travels down a schoolroom hallway to the girls’ or boys’ bathroom and ……
The city where Obama was today, pontificating in the rain, closed down the schools supposedly because of traffic. The school district denied it was because of politics. The strange thing is most of the faces behind Obama were white; I used to work in that city for many years and the citizens are 75% African-American according to the 2000 census which jibes with my knowledge of the place. Locally, the news showed Obama in front of the school shaking hands with some of the locals. I guess it’s racist to wonder why the locals were in the back of the bus (if they went to the speech) but not in the front of the bus behind Obama?
I voted early in CO yesterday.
I had studied the myriad amendments (14), referenda (4) and other local issues. I created a “voting cheat sheet” for myself, printed it out and went to the mall. The early voting places are open until 7 pm Mon thru Sat. I got there at 5:30 and was finished at 6:15. (The wait was 30 minutes to get to the counter to show my ID – first time since I started voting that I have had to show ID to vote! I first voted in IA where the volunteers knew the voters. I lived in CA when nobody cares if you are legally permitted to vote – or not. I *LOVE* that CO REQUIRED voters to show ID.) The problem is all the people who do not:
1. Study the materials that the state sends on the ballot items/people.
2. Do not know that they don’t have to vote for EVERY item (you can skip some and your vote is still valid)
3. How to work the machines.
I am so glad I took a Civics class in high school back in Iowa during the jurassic era when teacher TAUGHT students how to function in society without the govt nannies.
OT – The only bad thing was having the early voting site be the mall….I did have my credit card with me and found the nicest new wallet for 1/2 price. I hope McCain/Palin win so that I will have something to put in the new wallet…

I so hate that cliche – “participate in the democratic process.” Please, can we just call it “voting?”
What is so wrong with the word “voting?”
Why is the term “participate in the democratic process” preferable? Because it is longer and sounds more inclusive?
Pour that phrase back into the bull!
From my informal local polling here, most of the Obama supporters I know don’t work much anyway, don’t pay taxes and/or are union workers who are given paid time off to go and vote regardless.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least that the candidate of entitlements, redistribution and handouts would endorse surrogates who urge supporters to deceitfully “ditch” work (that’s a form of stealing) for Barack.
