"Well What about Florida, when Gore tried to steal the election?"

[SoCalDem]

I just called the registrar's office to see about absentee ballots..

We leave for Tahiti on Oct 2nd, so we will be gone for the recall:):)

She was pleased as punch to tell me that we could vote early and would not even need the ballot..

I told her we actually WANTED the ballot because it was one small way that we might get our votes to count, that way.. She went off on me about how trustworthy the touch screens were..

I told her that since the republicans so blatantly cheated in Georgia and Diebold put their code online, and how they are financially connected to the corrupt administration,I might have bought that excuse,but since that happened,I would prefer paper.. She shouted at me..

Well what about florida when Gore tried to steal the election.?? That was worse.... Then she hung up on me :)


Made my day!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Contact the secretary of state with that employee's name

[joeybee12]

2. Did you get the bitch's name????????

I wish you had--make a stink, get her fired. That would make MY day!

[SoCalDem]

4. I must admit, I "egged" her on, so I cannot in good conscience

rat her out.. I am sure everyone in the office heard her anyway.. Maybe there is a lone democrat in the office, who will tell on her.. I did not get her name.. It was kind of funny anyway :)

[Robin Hood]

10. Didn't she just deny you your rights to vote by not dealing with you?

It looks like they are already tampering with the vote. Who else isn't getting their ballots?

[SoCalDem]

17. Nope.. She had already told me that I could pick one up on Monday

I was just annoyed at how gleeful she was when she told me I would not even NEED a PAPER BALLOT :)

[liberalmuse]

3. I'd report that...

woman to her supervisor. There is no excuse for someone at the registrar's office behaving like that. That was very unprofessional. Someone like that is liable to toss out your absentee ballot when it comes in. You never know.

[indigo32]

5. Well theres a public servant for ya

OMFG People are really brainwashed.

[SoCalDem]

7. Hey, it's Riverside county, CA.. Repube-heaven

whaddayagonnadoooo??

She'll have something to tell the hubby tonight at dinner.. about the mean lady on the phone :)

[zbdent]

25. A Repuke public servant? Isn't that SUPPOSED to be an

oxymoron?

Remember, all of us public servants (on the taxpayer's dole) are lazy liberals who wouldn't know how to find our butts with flashlights, a map, and help. ( / sarcasm )

[Cha]

6. Registered repuke hawking the "touch screen voting machine"..

I hope you are going to get your "absentee ballot"!

Have Fun in Tahiti!

[Robin Hood]

8. When Gore tried to steal the election?

i have been hearing this bullshit for some time now. never mind the thousands of African Americans who were denied the right to vote, never mind the thousands of ballotts that were not counted even though it was in the Florida Constitution to do so, and it alos had precedence on top of that.

How conveniently they over look these and other important questions that have never been addressed by the liburul media.

Republicans are liars, thieves, scoundrels and perverts. How many other elections have they stolen before the 2000 election? We always went along thinking that elections were safe and legal, perhaps Florida was the first time that they got "caught".

If there are any freepers here, I say, "Bring em on".

[Cha]

12. they just think if they repeat Lies often and loud enough they

will make it into the record books as facts!

Poor disillusioned twits.

[ComerPerro]

9. I can't wait until the books start coming out

"Traitors:
How the Democrats are trying to hijack our country and remove Bush from office in November 2004"

[slackmaster]

11. What did you expect?

You were bound to get either strong agreement or disagreement. That Al Gore "tried but failed to steal the election" is as firmly entrenched in Republican doctrine as the opposite is here. Even my own family members are sharply divided along party lines, except for those who have quit the major parties. They're basically saying "A pox on both your houses."

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. I would expect a person in a non-partisan office to say "yeah yeah"

and handle the situation at hand. That's what the moron should have done. If she were customer service in a private company, that would be the expectation.

[slackmaster]

18. She's probably a low-paid seasonal worker

An ordinary human. You're absolutely right about what she SHOULD have done in an ideal world, but we're not there yet.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. Doesn't matter. She works in an office where public trust is imperative.

It's not about a "perfect world." Anyone in the work force needs to know proper behavior in dealing with the public. If she worked for me, she'd be in at least an hour long meeting on phone etiquette and customer service as well as learning how to de-escalate an upset not antagonize it further (my file clerks aren't rocket scientists and THEY wouldn't do this)

If she didn't get it...she's be unemployed.

Low wages is no excuse.

The people who serve my fast food make low wages too. I RARELY encounter rudeness.

[Cha]

14. Still...facts are facts ...and bush Stole the freakin' 2000 election.

mr. asterisk himself aka/whistle ass!

[Robin Hood]

15. No, that's not entirely correct.

They are not firmly entrenched in this belief. This is the talking point fed to them by Rush Co. , and they know that it's a load of BS. Why do they know? because they can't dispute the facts, and only repeat the mantra, like fanatics that revert to "Jesus loves you" when their argument don't hold water.

I can smell bullshit a mile away, and this little tom foolery is bullshit.

[slackmaster]

19. I'm not disputing the facts, but there is a symmetry to the controversy

Your comment could appear to an uninformed person as the pot calling the kettle black.

[Robin Hood]

22. Anyone who would repeat that bull knows the facts.

Someone uninformed most likely does not even vote.

[Clete]

16. This person must be reported.

She has shown herself to be biased with this outburst and could be untrustworthy in the election. I doubt if she will be fired, but a supervisor should sit her down for a talk about what her duties are.

[SoCalDem]

20. I did not get her name, and I was the one who started it anyway

with my crack sbout the republicans ..

I'll get the ballots,on Monday and she is probably a part-timer anyway..:) It's really not a biggie.. I only posted it because I thought it was funny how Proud they are of "their voting machines"..

No one refused me a ballot or kept me from voting..It was just a funny experience from deep in the bowels of repub-ville :)

[Cha]

21. That' what I don't understand about repubs working for the

goverment? Shouldn't they be off in private enterprise somewhere?

[Bandit]

24. Yes or Union workers.

They hate government soooo much and Unions are the devil's tools. Why would one work for either? :crazy: Why aren't they all CEOs or Presidents of some corporation. I can't conceive of a laborer being republican. It just doesn't work for me.

[Booberdawg]

26. Gee it's really nice to know

people are fullfilling their duties in the registrar's office in a non-partisan fashion.:eyes:
