3. I wonder why none of them screamed about Condi Rice or Colin Powell...

or any of the myriad other African Americans who hold positions of power in gov over the past decade? Where was all the bitching and moaning then?

[Historic NY]

5. I'm glad you did that, these people need to be called out on that bs...

right after Obama these evening I went to a local convenience store, one that I visit fairly regulary....one of the workers there a woman perhaps in her early fifties or late forties, white waited on me, I've known her for quite some time but just through the store where she works...

I was so thrilled and so emotional after watching that thirty minute Obama segment that I was in a kind of euphoric state and regardless of who else was in there and there were a few I began talking about how well Obama expressed himself and how I could not wait for a leader I finally felt an admiration for, such has been sorely missing these last long long eight years..

She formed a small smile and so I asked her who she voted for, she said Mccain....I was a bit dumbfounded to say the least considering how obvious it was to me that her job alone required a dem in office if she wished for fairness...

This woman is a hard worker and I have witnessed her working twelve hour shifts and if anyone has ever worked in a convenience store you would be more than aware how hard and tiring that certain occupation is, so for once I could not get angry at knowing she actually voted for another four years of which eight years to me is more than enough...

After a slight hesitation I had to smile at her and told her well at least you voted, it's important that people do not ignore one of the few rights we still possess in our governmental leadership.....

She then hesitantly told me her son and daughter had voted for Obama , I got the feeling though I was still happy with tonights obama preview of what I can expect for the next four years that she was not exactly comfortable with admitting that she voted Mcfading...

One of the other workers, a dark man smiled at me from behind her as I went on and on about tonights presentation by Obama and how excited I was that finally we had someone who wished to unite us as a country instead of continuing to divide us, I apologized by saying I was not trying to downplay her vote but I could not in all fairness state in any way shape or form that four years of mcfading was nothing more than another four years of the bush doctrine of hate division and continued criminal behaviors..

The funny thing is she admitted to feeling the same as I did? She stated that the government we have now has shown little care for the real citizens of this country especially the elderly and the youth and military by cutting so many programs while they continued to reap high profits that they themselves were only left to enjoy..

She admitted the repugs were bad for this country with a firmness that left me wondering why in the world she would vote for four more years of the same leaving us worse off day after day...

Simply because she has always be so nice to me I refused to berate her in any way shape or form and I soon left still smiling and asking her to watch him if she could when she got home...she actually told me she would since she knew her son had recorded it...

Why? I just can't believe she is racist or even a fundie? I just did not get it...and she did not explain...

7. I hate those encounters

People who really shouldn't be voting McCain. I work with one gal who is in much that situation. She doesn't know who she will vote for, but leans McCain. She is smart enough to know on her own that McCain dosn't have anything to offer her, but has a rabidly McCainish Husband. I think for her it all has to do with her husband. She cannot let herself believe that he might be the racist that he is, so she listens to the filth he has spewed about Obama.

[AuntPatsy]

11. Its possible that it has to do with her husband but I never got the feeling

that she was a clingy flower type of women who followed any man....I'm still puzzled...but I agree, I don't like those encounters either but now I wish I had taken more time with her discussing politics...

I at least got my dry cleaning lady to vote Obama while she honestly wanted to vote mcfading but she promised me she would not, I told her not to listen to me though, I asked her to do her own researching and apparently she did because she let me know how she voted...

[greenbriar]

6. I was so mad I was shaking and I am surprised that I didn't get in trouble

had my hubby or daughter been around, they probably would have walked away


but I didn't care. He was pathetic and horrible

[LiberalHeart]

8. And what did he say to you? How did others in earshot react?

[greenbriar]

12. I don't know, I was so angry I left my basket and walked off

partly scared that I would get in trouble, partly I needed to calm down

[votetastic]

10. Well it's obvious he thinks the country belongs to

ignorant racist white fucks like him.

[rentman]

13. I don't politic at my business

Usually. A few days back all the Obama signs in town were stolen. I wrote a letter to the editor calling them thieves, it stated no candidate preference. One of my customers came in today who knows my preference and started giving me a pretend hard time. It got serious when I asked him "If you're comfortable with PRESIDENT Sarah Palin, we have nothing to discuss". He said he was, said if Obama was elected he'd never be back. Serious racist from discussions with him in the past. I've had it, and will no longer pussyfoot around.
