My Flag Flies Everyday
I grew up in Chicago, and have lived in the suburbs as an adult. Chicago politics is strictly democratic. The suburbs, or collar communities are republican. That is changing now, as the black population spreads into the south, southwestern, and western suburbs. The demographics have shifted into a democratic population.
I grew up with the saying, “vote early, and vote often.” Anyone who grew up here knows exactly what that means, and will find it funny. The truth is, it is a sad reflection on our society. The twentieth century Democratic Machine worked diligently to win votes, and became noted for buying elections by any means. Precinct captains bought votes with a drink. If a voter hustled, he could put on a package while doing his “civic” duty.
Chicago is called “a city that works,” but it is rife with graft and corruption. Any politician who tries to “reform” the machine is soundly defeated in either the election, or in attempts to make things happen. It is my opinion that BO has been an astute student of Chicago Machine tactics. BO’s effort to use ACORN to buy votes is typical of the “vote early, vote often,” menatlity of Machine Politics. This tactic does win elections, but does that make it right? Does the end justify the means? Do we really want socialism so badly, that we will prostitute ourselves for it?
We all get one vote, unless we buy another from some devious merchant who wants to “make change you can believe in.”
This morning, the Ohio Secretary of State has filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to get off the hook. It seems that ACORN has done an outstanding job of applying the Chicago principle of “Vote Early, Vote Often.” Unfortunately, the Ohio Secretary of State has to verify the new registrations. She has two hundred thousand that are in question. By Federal Law, she must verify all of them. Most likely, all of these registrations are potential votes for BO. (Isn’t it funny, that we haven’t heard of a single ACORN voter registration that is Republican.) She is out of time, so she ran to the Supreme Court. My guess is that the Court will crumble under pressure from ACORN and the ACLU, and allow the votes.
Call me racist folks, because I’m voting for a conservative, not because he is white, but because he shares my personal philosophy.
On the bright side, there is a big party happening in Ohio. Think of all the folks that are enjoying the buzz from their free drinks.
