Debbie Schlussel: VIDEO: Don't Say I Didn't Warn You About Early Voting
Last week, I wrote about my problem with early voting. People in Ohio and several other states voted before even the first Presidential debate.
I decried this for several reasons, among them 1) that we need common American civic experiences, like election day in November; 2) that people should wait to see what happens in the next month before they vote; and 3) I don't think we need to make voting easier for people who can't take the time to go to the polls in November. (Plus, it's rife with opportunities for fraud.)
Remember, we want to keep the dummies out of the polling both, not ease their entry into them or bringing the polling both to their pot fumes-filled dorm room.
Some readers thought I was over-reacting. But watch this video report from CNN's island of semi-reasonable liberals amidst Marxism a/k/a Lou Dobbs' Show. Check out the early voters, including the one in the knit hippie hat, etc. Looks like he just got out of the Hendrix concert. Think there's any question for whom that stoner is voting? Yeah, we really need to make it easier for these people--most of whom are stupid and Obama supporters--to vote. I can just smell the pachouli emanating from the screen:
(And, yes, Lou Dobbs is, indeed, a liberal. A populist liberal. Yes, he's good on immigration and was great on the ports deal, but on everything else--healthcare, etc.--he's a statist. I know. I once had to debate him on, of all places, the thankfully-defunct "Montel" show.)
