So this is not a news story but a personal experience I thought I would share.
I was going to Kroger and as I am walking in a man wearing an Obama / Biden shirt walks up to me and asked if I was registered to vote. I told him I was and said "if I wasn't it is too late anyway". He then proceeded to follow me into the store and ask me if I was voting for Obama. I was not really in the mood to talk politics and decided a smartass response was in order, "I do not vote for people who say 'uh' every third word and changes tonality and speech depending on the audience". At first the guy gave me the ugliest look but decided he was going to keep it up, he followed me to the produce section and said "That is not a good reason not to vote for someone". At this point I wanted to curse at the guy but instead said "Well, in that case, I am not voting for him because I do not see the logic in proclaiming that we will be better off by increasing the deficit, taxing the better off, and redistributing wealth in America. The last thing I want is more government spending". He got the point and finally left me alone. I told the manager that I felt it was inappropriate for this person to follow me into the store and continue to question me. I have no problem with these people signing folks up to vote, but I do have a problem with moves that this guy had made. If a person is going to inform people on voting I do not think they should have any affiliation to a candidate or a party, that can be done at a different time. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

That's an excellent idea. Buy an Obama shirt and go around acting like an overbearing dickhead and turn people off voting for him
Where can I buy an Obama shirt? -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
