This is the oldest election day prank ever. The sad (funny) thing about it is that it works everytime.

The question I have is why does stuff like this always effect Democrats? Why don't Republicans ever fall for stuff like this?

Republicans don't fall for this because no Democrat would ever do something like this. You see, to us, the election is not just some game. It is not just one fraternity against another. I get the feeling that many Republicans feel that the election processes is some game to be won or lost. It is not. The implications of who wins the president are very serious. As you can see, the horrible job done by one president holding the office for eight years can at best, take 20 years to reverse and at worst, be irreparable. I don't know if the US will ever regain its former standing in the world as the shining beacon of hope for the rest of the world to follow and emulate. Lets hope I am wrong about this.

Thanks! You just made my day! I haven't laughed this hard in days!

You must not have heard of the Democrat voter registration organization called ACORN?

If Obama wins this election (which is unlikely) people will be wishing we had a leader like Bush back in the White House. Obama would make Jimmy Carter look like a good President.

Because if they do...they still vote on Tuesday, and nobody knows. And maybe it doesn't work the other way around because Democrats are less likely to try to pull it off. There...that wasn't so tough, was it?

I am glad you found it so funny. You just illustrated my point that you feel this is just some game. And yes, I have heard plenty about ACORN. Personally, I feel it is a non-issue. You can register as many fictitious people you like and if none of them vote...it does not constitute voter fraud as many on the right would have you believe. You see, real voter fraud is what happened in Florida in 2000 when 20K voters were illegally barred from voting by Katherine Harris because their names were similar to felons in the state.

And so you know, according to 98% of living historians, you my friend, voted for the absolute WORST president in history. I hope you and all of your conservative buddies are proud. Jimmy Cater did an absolute dream job compared to Bush.

...I think my memory is bad but I thought RRconcervative was an ok dude even though I remember never agreeing with him and I think I liked some of what you Sublime have said from time to time.

RR enjoys his 3 hours of daily Dittohead nirvana with Rush. There are alot out there that do. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't "really" believe Acorn and this stunt are on equal ground. But he has a mission for a couple more days. If you want to tweek him a bit, ask him how the socialist Pallin can be good for the ticket.....oh, he knows what that is about.

Look, all is fair in campaign rhetoric....but....telling people to vote on Wednesday is fraudulant, and I'm sure must be criminal on grounds that it deprives people of a fundamental right. See you can lie about a candidate and their positions...but you can't perpetrate a fruad that deprives someone a Constitutional fundamental right.

Now, RR should come back and admit that much. He loves the Constitution too. He knows he can't just love that 2nd amendment.

Maybe that scarfaced B crazy lady did this too. Or maybe it was the two retarded neo nazi guys that were going to chop off some black people's heads on their way to take out Obama....or maybe.....oh, there are plenty of backwards ass rednecks out there that could have had one of their friends that graduated from high school figure out how to work a typewriter and printer to pull this off.

I'm not saying RR is one of these guys at all....like I said, he just has to do his best Hannity, Krystal, Rush...etc...impression for now.

I'm sorry people, but one of my pet peeves is uneducated, uninformed voters. If their vote is suppressed by their stupidity, I have to say I am all for it. When you have uneducated voters participating in this system you have debacles like Florida 2000. Sheesh these people didn't even know how to punch a paper ballot, and we all know the goverment goes out of their way to makes things idiot proof.

I may sound a little harsh but politics is a 365 day a year thing for me. To have an election decided by people who register to vote to get a pack of cigarettes or a six-pack of beer, or don't know when election day is, is very troubling to me.

Sorry!

I think it's because while Democrats/Liberals tend to be more "intelligent", can find pi and divide by zero, they unlike republicans/conservatives lack common sense. Street smarts. "Brightness". Call it what you will. They tend to be very gullible.

This is hilarious to me. Don't people get taught anything, such as the simple fact that the presidential primary elections are held on the first Tuesday of November in leap years? I seem to have understood this from way back in elementary school. Yeah, the people who printed this pamphlet and passed it out should be prosecuted for taking advantage of idiots. There's a law about that isn't there? Maybe not. But there should be. It could apply to Al Gore, GWB, Obama, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, John Kerry, Colin Powell, Jimmy Carter, etc.

AH HA....I knew I remembered you guys...see...something to like about both of you.

...let me wade into this "idiot voter" issue. You both familiar with Dante's Inferno and the different layers of hell?

Well we have a layer of voters that couldn't tell you what the branches of government were let alone how many we have...(GWB of course thought we had 4) We have voters that think Obama is a Muslim. A guy that "pals" around with Terrorist. That Obama is one of them...you know...one of them....uh..."Arabs" (my home state and we will deport her dumbass) So where do you guys want to start drawing the lines about the educated voters or who should be allowed to vote. We have some dumb dumb dumb people. We have smart people, (well at least they can hold down jobs) that believe the rhetoric. Believe Rush! That guy is the worst liar of them all.

....so who gets to vote? Do you guys still think we need the electoral college? You could argue either side there.

I believe legal immigrants that have become citizens are the best informed and most qualified to vote. Being born in this here Country makes you the least. Take a test? I'm for it. It would give people like Ron Paul or Huckabee a chance.

ignorance and prejudice should get the same measure of distain as dumb and uninformed voters. One side maybe predominately Republican and the other Democrat but both are unqualified to vote responsibly.

How do you like that argument?

I and my whole family have taken the voters test. We all live with a Master in Political Science.

I find that the most informed people are those that must pay attention not just for the sake of their own well being but the well being of their fellow man simply because they can relate. I live in a very diverse neighborhood, lower middle class but astute in local and national affairs. That differs greatly from the gated neighborhood I lived in in Texas.
