Voter Intimidation

(Written on November 4th, 2008)

Last night my dad was telling me about his early voting experience.

He and my momma (don’t know if she held on to her PUMA tendencies when she voted) had found their way to the nearest church/polling place. What they saw made them lose more faith in “the great fabric of democracy” than even McCain reminding us of ACORN’s piercing threat to America.

Waiting in the swarming line, they realized that maybe only two other voters had even showered in the last week. Anyways, enough on hygienic voting standards.

As the line began dissipating and the booths came in sight, my parents became victim of voter intimidation. Standing at a forboding 3′ 4″, the six-year-old, African American (probably a Black Panther even) Obama plant was carrying out his diabolical scheme. Like a fox, the impassioned ideologue snuck from lingering voter to lingering voter, gave a threatening tug on their clothing, and spewed forth (in his deafening pre-pubescent voice), “Are you voting for Obama or that white guy?”.

Where are the McCain lawyers when we need them?
