Thousands of Republican voters skip presidential race in disgust |
|
William Robert Williams is just one of a growing number of Republican voters walking away from voting machines without casting a vote for president this election. Across the country Republican voters leave with confused and dumbfounded looks on their faces after voting. Poll workers in Florida thought the head shaking commonly seen was the result of national polling showing Senator Barack Obama with both a national lead and leads in most battle ground states.
But after breaking through many of the GOP's voters apprehension to speaking to the media the disgust stems not from the Democratic lead but true confusion in the voters. Elsie Johnson of Dry Prong, LA said "I looked and looked but could not find the Republican on the ballot." The voters have said that poll workers have been purposely pointing them in the wrong direction when they ask where to vote for the Republican. Joseph Robert Smith said he has never trusted government poll workers and his distrust was proven correct when he voted yesterday. "I asked where I voted Republican and the guy pointed at the names McCain and Palin." Not wanting to cause a scene or as he put it "get locked up in a UN/FEMA reeducation camp," Mr. Smith thanked the poll worker pretended to vote for president and left. Afterwards he spoke candidly with our reporter. "I think it's a conspiracy. I read every God damn name on that ballot. I was in there for ten minutes and I could not find Joe T. Plumber any where."

6. Don't worry, Republicans. |
|
Your fear is comes from your subconcious minds, and that is why it's so confusing and upsetting to you. Your concious mind sees the ruin that the Cons have bought to our country, yet you can't bring yourself to vote for Obama. It's OK if you don't vote at all.
But it would be nice if you got some therapy.
