I just made an Ohio Republican SCREAM!
Went to vote in the primary, and my district is republican-hell, SW OH, Mason, Warren Co. -- the reason Bu$hler won in '04 (make that stole '04 with their phony lockdown of BOE Bldg.)

Anyhow, on the way in to the center, an older woman came up to me and said she hoped I would vote for Blackwell, to which I snorted, "oh, can't do that I am a Democrat," she literally almost fell backwards and SCREAMED really loud.

It was one of the best moments of my life. :) :) :)

Go Ted!

1. What the hell was she screaming about?
Don't you have every right to vote as you please? Sadly, other than work reasons, this is why I'm glad not to be in Ohio anymore...

2. "Hope you vote for Blackwell"???
Edited on Tue May-02-06 11:38 AM by HughBeaumont
Oh, man, you were far kinder than I would have been. Anyone who votes for that loathsome criminal Bush cowboy bootshiner deserves nothing but looks of disgust and scolding. He supports an amendment that already ruined one state (Colorado). He's a fundamentalist Bible thumper who has no concept of "separation of church and state". He's an open and unabashed homophobe. His name floats like a dog turd in the Coingate and Election Fraud scandals. He's a hate-baiter from the dregs of Karl Rove's soup bowl.

And the worst part about it is this - Ohio's white rural population is going to vote this son of a bitch governor. And he's going to proceed to turn this state into a backwoods ramshackle church.

5. Seems the right response would have been a smile, and "I hope you do."

10. Hate to tell you, but Southern OH already is a
backwards ramshackle church!

LOL. I'm outta here in a month anyhow, but at least I did my part to get Strickland on the ballot for the Dems.

12. Pretty soon, NE Ohio is going to be the same way
should this batshit insane Sam Brownback clone get elected. Progressive businesses and the young talent that they attract will be leaving by the thousands. Duh High Ah will be like one giant Wal-Mart state, with more churches than businesses.

16. I just don't see rural southern OH supporting Blackwell
there is so much racism south of Columbus, it's appalling.

17. That's the huge conundrum:
"Yep, he's pretteh much fer ever'thin' I'm . . . but gawddang it, he's a (shudder) NIGRA!"

There's a local paper up here that has a cartoonist that wrote about this very situation. Shows the hick coming out of his shack, crosses in hand, saying (and I'm paraphrasing) "The Christian Right will finally be in control of Ah-HIGH-AH, top to bottom. We've been waitin' fer this fer a long time comin'!"

"Now all ah have t dew is vote for . . . this black guy."

"Yep. I just press . . . this . . . button and . . . vote . . . FOR"

"THE BLACK . . . .GUY . . . ."

Then his head explodes.

The last line is "The Lord delivers justice in intriguing ways".

19. Do you think elections in Ohio have been fair in the recent past?
Do you think Blackwell is going to run his election any more fair?

All they need is a cover story for the press. It's going to be all about how he "mobilized all those evangelical Christians."

Hopefully it's about how we caught him red handed. I hope DNC lawyers have affidavits already lined up.

4. Is there someone else running against Blackwell in the primary?
Why would this woman assume you're a repub?

9. Jim Petro -
Not the best choice either, but at least 10 times more sensible.

Unfortunately, he's lagging far behind BatshitWell in the polls.

7. I was in line to vote in 2004 election
I heard some yahoo behind me in line saying they had told the democrats the polling site had been moved. I told him he must have a problem communicating his message because this democrat is here and I'm voting straight ticket. He had a real "I'm a stupid, ignorant motherfucker" look on his face
