Somebody please tell me what the finger thingy is all about.

I didn't watch all the speech. In fact, I gave him about 3 minutes before I shut it down. But I did see a couple of people holding up colored fingers. I'm sorry I missed it, but could somebody please tell me what the finger thingy is supposed to mean?

1. In Iraq, they fingerprinted every voter...

...and, as they left the polls, they held up their finger for photographers. I guess the ninnies in congress thought it would be cute to do the same...:eyes:

5. They didn't fingerprint them

They had them dip their finger in ink to prevent double voting.

7. Thanks for the correction...

2. That whole blue finger thing is pretty much a RW

thing they're doing in the states as a gesture to stick it to us (us lefties.)

Without saying, what they are doing is, "The election proves we were right. Up yours."

FUCK THEM.

Good night.

3. Proof that they drank the kool-aid (nt)

4. It's like the "purple-heart" bandaid thing.. a PR stunt

and we all know how they love their stunts..

[Wilber_Stool]

6. It was in praise of

voter fraud. I don't think any of these people were registered to vote in Iraq.

8. it shows that they have no sense of irony

Remember how proud they were of themselves in 2000, for NOT standing up for the rights of Florida voters! (Other than late-submitted military ballots, that is.)
