What geinus picked the Lone Star College Willowchase Campus as a voting location? I stood in line today early this morning to vote early for two hours. They moved the place I used to vote at from an auditorium to a tiny class room at a community colledge. People turned around and walked away when they saw how long the line was. And did I mention that there is almost no parking? Now that is voter suppression!

For Carole this was from Regina not MIke no you don't have to salute the flag or place your hand over your heart it is called RESPECT maybe you should read the definition. My family also is fighting this war, would your father vote for a man with no respect probably not, yes we have the freedom now to vote who we want for president but will we after four years of Obama, he won't even produce a valid birth certificate and check the records he gave up his US citizenry when in Indonesia.

[Fort Bend Votes]

The best voting location finder for Fort Bend County is at http://fortbenddemocrats.org/poll-map and for Early Voting: http://fortbenddemocrats.org/early-voting-locations. These pages have comprehensive lists of all FBC polling locations, Google Maps with driving directions and even Sample Ballots. The county website, on the other hand, still relies on archaic PDF files for polling location information.

Carole | October 23, 2008 at 04:40 PM You say: “This comment is to Mike:” but in your dissertation, your comments – and particularly your choice for presidential leadership – are certainly applicable to us all! So with your kind indulgence, I’d like to interlope here. … First, you say:

“The only people I know of who are required to salute the flag are military personnel. Placing your hand on your heart is not a requirement of the star spangle banner, but when one pledges alliance [sic.] to the flag.”

About the “military salute”, you’re spot-on correct and even technically, military are the only ones who should do so, albeit; in the matter of the National Anthem: in and of itself, IT IS a musical “pledge of allegiance TO the flag” (study the lyrics) and as such, certainly warrants the same hand-over-heart gesture one would use, simply reciting the pledge. … Then you go on to say: “Obama is a Christian.” …

Here, is a grave matter of substantive argument that can extend to copious issues of theological import too broad and deep for this forum, but for the issue here; I’ll simply invite your most serious SPIRITUAL – and for this matter, POLITICAL – attention to this SINGLE element that DEFINES Christian Faith – i.e. the Scriptural fact that Jesus, the incarnate son of Mary & Joseph in the year A.D. One, IS AT ONCE and THE SAME Holy Spirit conceived Son of the One Eternal Father God of the Universe – a fact, three times attested to by that same Eternal God, within those same Scriptures – and with this single element of the “Christian” Faith in mind; I’ll ask you to juxtapose that fact, with these: A Muslim (somebody whose religion is Islam) is a disciple of Islam (a monotheistic religion based on the word of God as revealed to Muhammad during the 7th century), and while “Jesus” is recognized within Islam; He is considered no more Holy than any other Prophet and CERTAINLY NOT The Son of the Eternal Creator God – a posit that is an atrocity TO Christianity and New Testament Scriptural Gospel! …

Now, Apart from the fact the militant Muslim’s dogma IS to KILL ALL INFIDELS (That’s Me – and YOU, if your faith IS NOT Islamic!): I’ll cite this quote from Hussein’s own writings – “The Audacity to Hope” where he says: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – then, I’ll simply ask: ARE YOU PREPARED to live under a United States’ President, whose SUCCINCTLY STATED LOYALTIES’ LIE WITH NOT ONLY A DECLARED ENEMY OF THIS Nation; but One, the Religious mantra of which is ANNIHILATION of, what is at least professed to be, an 80% - 90% Christian faith populated country?!?! … I can ONLY PRAY, your answer IS, “NO”!!!

One of the GREAT, if NOT THE GREATEST of IRONIES IN A “democracy”, is that of an ability to COMMIT POLITICAL SUICIDE, BY literally “VOTING” IT OUT OF EXISTENCE – which is EXACTLY WHAT is being effected within this quasi-election!!!… “Republican”; “Democrat”; “Liberal”; “Conservative”; “Black”; “White”; whatever allegorical “Title” one may choose –ALL BE DAMNED!!!
 
If we are individually born or naturalized as de jure Citizens within the territorial boundaries of these fifty united States of America – the Republic – We Are Americans!!! … And as you say: “We Americans are free to vote for the person who we think is the best person for the job.” But WITHIN – even ABOVE THAT FREEDOM AND ALL ELSE; We ARE RESPONSIBLE TO EACH OTHER, TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHO the person[s] seeking those jobs REALLY ARE, in relation TO THE AUTHORITY EXTANT WITHIN THAT JOB TITLE!!! … For as again, you so diligently state: “A lot of men and women have fought and died for this privilege, including my father.”

While it isn’t clear here, whether your Dad was a casualty or a surviving participant in Our Nation’s defense, but in either case; as one who did survive 30-months of such action, let Me be CLEAR HERE:

I; your Father; as well as each and every one of those Millions – if not Billions – of Americans, who have donned a uniform in any branch of combative defensive services to this country, have taken an Oath!!!

That oath was NOT TEMPORARY; NOR was it to defend a President; NOR a Congress; NOT EVEN a Judicial system, but rather TO DEFEND A PIECE OF PARCHMENT “against All Enemies, both Foreign and Domestic”; a parchment that succinctly PRESCRIBES EXACTLY HOW and WHAT that President; those Congressmen; and EVEN those Judges ARE TO QUALIFY FOR and EXECUTE THEIR OFFICIAL DUTIES!!! In its Preamble, that parchment is named: “the Constitution for the United States of America”!!! … In summary:

When you, I, or anyone else, FAIL in that RESPONSIBILITY TO EACH OTHER, to DETERMINE an ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT OF EVERY CANDIDATE for ANY OFFICE IN GOVERNMENT to KNOW, COMMIT and ADHERE TO Our Constitution Covenant Contracts - State AND Federal - PRESCRIBING THEIR GOVERNANCE OF Our very LIVES; We have affectively SPIT UPON EVERY GRAVE, IN EVERY MILITARY CEMETERY IN THIS Nation, and called every Man and Woman who has survived such service a CONSUMMATE FOOL!!!

BETWEEN NOW, and November 4th; THAT’S Our RESPONSIBILITY, and OUR move WITHIN IT!!!

May God Bless, in Our efforts!

This comment is to Mike: The only people I know of who are required to salute the flag are military personnel. Placing your hand on your heart is not a requirement of the star spangle banner, but when one pledges alliance to the flag. Obama is a Christian. We Americans are free to vote for the person who we think is the best person for the job. A lot of men and women have fought and died for this privilege, including my father. If you want four more years of Bush, vote for McCain. I don't want four more years of Bush.

why are americans so quick to forgive & forget?all of you that buy products made by former war enemies.yes i served in combat in vietnam during tet 1967-68 in usmc famous 3rd.marine div.just like korea,vietnam also had china & russia helping them.some say we lost that war-or did the media really lie about it?our president Lyndon B.Johnson gave up on us & quit when really North Vietnam was about ready to surrender as their Vietcong troops were wiped out & their elite NVA troops were slaughered,mamed,burnt in the tracks.look at the real facts North Vietnam finally admits losing over 2,000,000 (2 million) troops-13% of the entire population.America lost 58,215 brave young soldiers who pulled together amidst times when division among races-white,black,hispanic.who will you vote for a democrat that will quit on you-choose wisely because your future depends on your freedom first,without that you really have nothing more important.

IF!!! … Whether Democrat, or Republican, You can watch this video with any kind of intelligent understanding:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA6_k3NtXZs

and YOU CAN STILL, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, cast your ballot for Barack Hussein Obama, AS President of this country, THEN:

You are either brain-dead; a Muslim disciple; or a consummate ENEMY of these united States of America – as they were ordained and established into their existence within the Law that is the 1776 Declaration of Independence, and the 1791 Constitution for the United States of America, thus MAKING THIS Nation to be the most unique form of governance in the history of Mankind, and; THE ONLY PLACE ON THE PLANET TODAY, where YOU ARE FREE TO COMMIT SUCH AN HEINOUS ACT and LIVE to REGRET the RESULTS!!!

[Mike]

"CHANGE" is nothing new.. That's the Dem's battle cry every 4th year... All they want to change is who resides in the white house...

[Regina]

My one problem with Obama is why does he refuse to salute our Flag and place his hand over his heart during the Star Spangled Banner and the Pledge of Allegience. He doesn't respect our flag how can he respect our county. This is very simple pointed out to me by children. Maybe we should think about this long and hard before putting him in office. Our children have!!

Why don't you ever display any information about LIBERTY county?? Are you aware that Liberty county intersects with Harris County? Did you know that the Houston media outlets are the primary source of information for people who live there? Did you know that the majority of people living in Liberty county work in Harris county? I sincerely wish there was some way to get it through the Houston media's thick heads!! I already boycot Ch. 2 for ignoring Liberty county! Now it looks like I need to stop watching Ch. 13!!! GRRRR!!!!

Peggy, NO YOU WON'T!!

I cannot believe that anyone would want the same that we have had for the past 8 years. McCain wasn't talking about CHANGE until late in his campaign. Obama has talked about it from the beginning and about the corruption in Washington. My vote will be going to Obama for the real change we need. McCain is way too angry. Everyone needs to wake up and decide whether we want someone with the calm that will be needed in a President or someone who will show his anger with World Leaders.

YES WE CAN!

[Micjael]

Ain't it: Not TOO early to think about early voting?

[ER]

It's interesting that all the Obama haters on this site can't say why McCain is better than Obama. So, what is it exactly that McCain plans that you like better than Obama? Maybe if you took off those red colored glasses you could look at both candidates objectively.

I hope the change all of you are expecting is not the change that Hitler gave Germany or Castro gave Cuba. If you will read your history you will find everyone loved them. They were going to bring change to their countries. I hope & pray this is not the change we will get.

I don't know why people make such a fuss over Palin and the little stuff when the man you want is forgiven everything. Burning the American flag, not putting his hand over his heard to pledge allegiance, going to Church and taking his children to a white hate preacher for years. "His Mentor" was suddenly pushed aside. Was he not listening while "his mentor" was preaching all those years? But if Palin or McCain were doing any of this you would still here the media SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. What is wrong with picture?

Gwen Ifill should have told both campaigns about her book weeks ago and given them the option of asking for a different moderator. Ifill stands to make hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars on her book if Obama is elected and almost nothing if he is defeated. If anyone doubted that the MSM is in the tank for Obama, those doubts should now be dispelled.

[louis]

I am very disappointed Gwen Ifill did not say anything before!
If it had been someone on McCain side....Oh!!!!...there would be such a fuss!
I hope Palin kicks Biden's... drunk A$$....

[Gwen S.]

VP debate tonight-
Tom and gang, What do you think of Gwen Ifill doing the moderating in light of her book praising Obama. I think she should excuse herself.
Tom, you would be a perfect fill in- unbiased and direct.

fc | October 01, 2008 at 05:44 PM & jl - Please, TAKE 5-SECONDS and tell us ALL you UNDERSTAND about the Obama/Biden intended “Change” you two are all pumped-up about, and we’ll figure-out what to do with the EXTRA 3-SECONDS when you’re finished!

About the “Superist (NOT a real word, but certainly appropriate for the apparent mentality being addressed here) Change” we’re likely to see with an Hussein Obama/Joe (Plagiarist) Biden anywhere NEAR the Oval Office, shall be the ADDITION of Minarets to the White House and Capital buildings!!! … But then again: Perhaps that’s what you really WANT to see?!? Albeit:

By the time your new Caliph has ADDED his socialist Pay-offs to this 700-BILLION Wall Street BAILOUT, being packed up this Nation’s gluteus maximums today; we’ll ALL be lucky to end up with 15¢ CHANGE after taxes!!!

[cacc'64]

jl and fc:

First off, I do not know how old you two are, but whatever your age, you too will "be OLD FOOLS" some day. I pray that you don't suffer a stroke to the point you can't walk, talk or take a piss by your self. Worse yet, that you don't die young...what a shame that you hard core socialists do not live long enough to see your psuedo utopia crumble under the weight of misery.
