Daughter: Mommy, who are you voting for?
Wife: Well, I haven't quite decided yet.
Daughter: I'm voting for Obama.
Me: Why are you voting for Obama?
Daughter: I don't really know.
Wife: Just like half of his voters.

Malcolm X telling black folk that if they vote Democrat they're "political chumps" and "traitors to their race".

I know Catt's a Skins fan, but there might be a bright side to their loss yesterday:
Apparently it only works when both candidates are white.

Gordo is bitching on his FB about people mocking other voters. Since it's him posting it I assume it's Dems mocking Repubs, so I posted this:
Being hateful towards someone because of their political affiliation is different from being hateful towards someone because of their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc. HOW?
The behavior of those on the left side of the political spectrum towards their opponents on the right, don't seem to match their politics of tolerance very well.

Race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc are an accident of birth. Being a whiny "liberal*" Democrat or an ignorant "conservative**" Republican is a choice.

I was going to point out something similar. You surrender to your ideology of choice.

My point being, if it is biased and ignorant to hate muslims, then it needs to be biased and ignorant to hate republicans.

Overheard at the polling place:
Person1: I didn't realize there was a back to the ballot, who do I vote for?
Person2: I just voted for the person with the coolest name. Except the women, I don't want them to be in charge of too many things.
(Person2 then realizes that Person2 is standing next to my wife, who is just staring at Person2)
Person2: Sorry.
