Through mud, blood or high water

I heard a trucker tonight on Michael Reagan's show, who said he was making the drive from Illinois to Texas to vote for Bush

The Base is fired up, and so am I. I am a BG Republican, and I hope and pray that Bush wins the election. I will be at the Polls first thing.

The only thing that worries me is if Gore wins, I will be in a bad mood for four years. My T.V. has so many scars from me throwing things at the screen when Clinton is on, that I do think it will survive a Gore presidency.

Vote for Bush, save my television.....and the country.

I too will go through hell to get to the polling place. I will have to wake my son early. I will have to change him, dress him and feed him all before 6:30 AM. Then I'll have to place him on my shoulders, get the leash for the dog, and head out. I'll walk the dog in the park, and let her play catch (she loves tennis balls served by a raquet), and of course I'll have to cut short my play sessions with son and dog and return home to put her in the fence. I will then have to again walk out the door, and trudge the 60 or so yards uphill to my polling place and stand in (what I hope to be) a very long line. I'll probably buy a newspaper to read while waiting. Once I finally get to the judge, I will have to show my ID and my Voters registration card, and then take my ballot to the booth. I will then have to check the appropriate boxes, and then I will have to drop it in the box, return the pencil, and go to the cafe to drink coffee, and eat a well cooked breakfast with my son. I am taking tomorrow off, and will treat it as a special day so that each election day, my son associates it first with DUTY, then with joy. I'll make him love elections, and voting. If for just one day, tomorrow, I will show my son that I take my responsibilities seriously. I encourage all of you TFL'rs with kids or grandkids to take them to the polls, take them in with you and instruct them how to vote, and why you vote. Then go out and do something fun with them, you have done your part.
 
Gun owners, do whatever is necessary to vote, despite the bad weather in the midwest. Too bad it won't be raining/snowing/hailing in MA or NY. And no third party nonsense even if Bush is ahead in your state. If you want to vote third party at the local level, go for it.

Don't like Bush? You believe he's just as bad as Gore on gun control? What about Bush's record in TX? Imagine a Gore presidency with licensing and the road open to registration, and the NRA out of funds from pushing so hard to get Bush elected.

And some of you do seem intent on voting for Harry Browne! Aren't 8 years of relentless gun control enough for you?
 
Through fire ( the kind with bullets in it...)
Through Hell and High Water,
so long as I draw breath, to vote against the most fraudulent, most corrupt, most outright criminal administration in History...
 
Great idea, kjm. I like it a lot.

My wife is doing that today with our daughter. My turn next year. :)

The town of Waldport is on the south bank of the Alsea River on the coast of Oregon. If you travel east from Waldport on Highway 34 you will come to a small rivlet with the ignoble name of "Darkey Creek." One of the area's early settler, a former slave, lived up Darkey Creek. He was instrumental in starting the first school in the area. In all regards a well thought of citizen.

November and election time came, and the Alsea River was in full-flood with trees the size of coastal defense cannon careening across the bay toward the mouth of the river. This presented a problem for the voters. Although, most of the people lived on the south bank of the Alsea; the polling place was on the north bank.

The citizenry were gathered on the dock looking across the bay and muttering, when the man who lived up Darkey Creek walked down the dock, jumped in a rowboat, seized the oars and pulled himself across the bay and entered the polling place.
Upon his return to the south bank he said "There was a time I couldn't vote."
He left the others still looking across the bay and muttering.

A name is what you make it, and Darkey Creek holds a noble place in my thoughts.
