When I step into the polling place I've already decided which way I'm going to vote, a teeshirt ain't gonna sway me. I think people who ARE swayed by teeshirts or who fear the same might consider not voting due to mental incompetence. M_

Welcome to America. During the '04 election I was behind a group of Kerry voters, all wearing pins, t-shirts, and one had a bumper sticker on his chest. I was wearing my Bush pin, and we were all getting along just fine. When a truck bearing a humongous KERRY sign pulled up in front of the voting place, they all gave "wtf" looks at and then at me, sort of apologetically. I said something witty about the liberal media. Then some old guy, an elections monitor or something, walks down the line and tells me to remove my Bush pin; which I do. As he goes to walk away, one of the Kerry people says "what about us?" "I was talking to HIM," the old bastard answers. They all removed their buttons and pins angrily, thereby aiding in restoring my faith in humanity for that day. It rapidly dissipated the next day, of course. So every time I hear of someone being forced to remove an Obama shirt or button, I get a special feeling inside; call that feeling justice, or just my own personal brand of "how's it feel NOW," humor.

Isn't a person's vote supposed to be confidential? Mucks it up if you're wearing your pick on your chest or head for all to see when voting.

[EvilNed]

I think it has the right to be confidential, but what's stopping me from telling everyone I will or have voted for?

I think it has the right to be confidential, but what's stopping me from telling everyone I will or have voted for? Exactly. Confidentiality of your vote is a right, not an obligation.

That's democracy for ya', huh? Stupid. One of the biggest misconceptions about this country is that it's a democracy. It's not. We actually live in a republic run by a representative gov't. Don't believe me? How "democratic" is it when someone can win the popular vote but still lose an election? In a Jeffersonian democracy the philosophy is that if you win by even one vote then you're considered the winner. Novel concept, huh?
