Just got this email from the Obama campaign:
Ask your Boss. Ask your Professor.
Take Election Day off and volunteer to make history.
Uh huh. Which really won’t be much of a problem for the majority of Obama’s supporters.
Most of whom are already unemployed or students (or both). And the students will probably get extra credit — or just an automatic A — if they tell their liberal professors that they were out volunteering for the Obama campaign.
Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them canceled classes anyhow.
Me? I’ll go to the polls and vote — and then I’ll go do something infinitely more important and valuable for our country and our economy. I’ll go to work.
Hey, someone’s got to work and pay the taxes that Obama wants to spread to those of you who will “taking the day off” to volunteer for his campaign…
First he wants all the young people to try and guilt their grand parents into voting for B-HO, then cut classes to volunteer.
Desperation a la mode.
Nah, he wants them all out to intimidate voters and to begin the riots early.
I have to take that day off anyway. Gotta run over to Williams and Sonoma to return this espresso maker that my French uncle sent me. Then off to the Volvo dealer to get some work done before taking my kid to the Waldorf School.

Well I’ll be packed off to Obamagrad for reeducation if I had not already taken Election Day off! Now I feel like telling my boss FAGITABOUTIT. I had planned to have Tuesday off in case I was not able to vote early, but since I have it was just going to be a day to piddle around in my yard, enjoy the weather and listen to my favorite right wing talk shows (May they still be on this time next year). Now I feel like I’m abetting The One.
Besides, if I took of November 4, then I wouldn’t be able to take off November 11th (I’m riding in the Austin Veterans Day Parade with the Patriot Guard Riders).
Robbie, somehow I think your Patriot Guard Riders might be just a little bit more important…but then so would watching the paint peel on the ceiling.
This is ridiculous, he’s saying if you would like to help the campaign take the day off and come on down. Everything “bad” you have on Obama seems to be all taken out of context, you took TWO LINES of an entire email. Also how could you assume Obama supporters are lazy or unemployed, so a majority of the nation is unemployed eh? Theres no high profile members of society or well respected members of communitys voting for him huh?
Gee, that’s funny… all the Obama supporters I know are either working, going to school and working, or working two jobs.
But hey, by that logic I guess I can accurately say that the majority of McCain supporters are ignorant dumb asses, right?
So when Obama wins on Tuesday, it will be because of all the students and unemployed people who got off their lazy asses and voted?
I guess you’ll say that the respectable working people didn’t have time to vote for McCain even though they really wanted to.
