Elderly, disabled to get voting assistance in Virginia

He looks like he's refusing to let her proceed and she looks terrified!

Elderly and disabled? Isn't that the McCain / Palin ticket?

This is why you are racisit "47 yr old....whatever and any of you other McCain/Palin supporters w/ hurt feelings... because this is how you and a lot of YOUR people think: 47yo male for McCain November 4th, 2008 2:38 pm ET "Just because Obama, Sharpton and NAACP bought this election doesn't mean you can discriminate against Disabled Folks."

I'm a combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I went to vote this morning, only to find out that I wasn't registered. When I served overseas I sent in a registration and an absentee ballot in past elections, apparently nothing was received and my vote didn't count then and makes it not able to count today. So where did my registration and vote go in the past? Just would like to say no matter who you vote for, God Bless America and stand up for what you believe in!

The other blogs were closed but I just had to make this clear, on the blank panther reports in Philly that is making national news, there were 2 AA guys standing outside with a black panther sign on their clothing, and had clubs, and the Republican pole watcher stated they were intimidating people, the police were called to the scene and the 2 AA guys and fox news were escorted from the polling area. stop putting every AA in the same category, all races have nut jobs. This has nothing to do with Obama.

Tulsa - you are too funny!!! My Dad has pretty much the same thought process as some of these rw - he completely contradicts himself when we talk politics...cracks me up!!!

If Obama bought this election, then the Yankees have been buying the WS for many years as their payroll is thru the roof compared to all other teams (including the Mets)!!! In 2008, wanna bet the candidates don't raise at least what Obama has? Just wait - you will be shocked!!!

Gene - great statement!!!! And a great big AMEN!!!

don't you just LOVE the way Repub vp candidate says American is 'COOL' don'cha wanna VP who talks like that?

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STOPPED GIVING FUNDS TO THE ACORN ORGANIZATION ACCUSED OF VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD IN SEVERAL STATES AND WITH THOUSNADS OF EVIDENCE IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS. THE FBI IS INVESTIGATION B UT HAS NOT RELEASED ANY OF ITS FINDINGS WHICH MEANS AMERICANS WILL NOT LEARN OF EXTENSIVE VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUDS TILL AFTER THE ELECTION WHICH WILL BE TOO LATE. IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ROOT OUR UNQUALIFIED, INELIGIBLE VOTERS LIKE FELONS, ILLEGAL ALIENS , CEMETERY NAMES, FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS LIKE MICKEY MOUSE.

Gene- The Republican party is based on the things that I agree with, and Christian and moral values are those that I agree with the most. Obama, as a "Christian" listened for a period of time longer than my life span to the preachings of Jeremiah Wright. He spent twenty years listening to anti-American speeches and befriending those who were accused of terrorist acts. These are supposed Christian values? I think not. John McCain was a POW. He spent years being tortured, yet would not leave his imprisonment until those who had been held longer had been released. He adopted a child from Bangladesh who had a cleft palate, paid for her surgery, and gave her a better life. These are not moral values? Tell me, Gene, what precisely do you consider moral if not those things?

Richard S. - Congrats on surviving the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, but what does that have to do with the elderly or disabled.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN THIS ELECTION WAS WHEN A 106 YEAR OLD, YOUNG LADY GOT TO VOTE. IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES, SHE VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA, WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE AN AMERICAN. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Britain went decimal in 1969. Europe went Euro 20yrs later. What as the USA done to compeat? Now You want to Elect a Learner, who know nothing about the World/ Markets...... Your Going down America, this is the 14th Round and your heading for the Canvas....The World is Readyand Waiting, for your Fall...

The Race card will not work in this election. Bill and Hillary Clinton did not play the race card and have helped Obama an awful lot , and for which Obama should be grateful (not sure though, but hope he will be). Bill Clinton is still the best campaigner and it will probably he the best endoresement got and Barack Obama for better or worse will be our next President . Not sure if Obama offers Hillary a cabinet post or a Justice position?

McCain/Palin and Senator Mark Warrner 2008!

Not only are some of the people who are posting on this site racist, but they seem to be prejudiced against elderly and disabled people. I am so ashamed that the moral fiber of our country has been diminished to the point that we all have to be young, white and physicially and emotionally perfect in order to be deemed 'upstanding' citizens who are worthy of casting a vote. Shame on the shallow representatives of our country who epitomize this mentality. I only hope that a positive light of hope, acceptance and unity will be cast on our great country in the next 24 hours.

I am TBI survivor who is an Independent voter, and has already cast my vote for John McCain/Sarah Palin! McCain/Palin! McCain/Palin!

To Elizabeth, I hope that when I am an old disabled person that my children will have my body processed to feed the living or create an industrial lubricant, not only not be a drain on society but also to aid our children because they are who we borrow the world from, the elderly are useful

To Concerned: Sorry to say this.. But Obama is MUCH stronger on Christian values than McCain.. and as far as Moral Behavior.. Obama is much stronger than McCain too. Obama is a family man who doesn't cheat on his wife... and McCain is running the sleeziest campaign ever... Terrorist claiming Robo calls... everything is about how bad Obama is instead of what he can do for the country. So if anything.. you're voting for the guy who's LEAST displaying your "christian values"

Amy- The majority of polling station problems deal with disabled people messing up the voting machines.

Oh, I totally agree with you 47yo! It somehow seems that, even though I live in New England, I am a redneck because I appreciate the Christian values, moral behavior, and decisions of a white Republican male. however, if I were to vote Obama, I would be a trendy, up to date citizen? Don't you just love double-standards?

Ah Gary put a lid on it dude! Obama will be your next president so suck it up!

I vote on what is the fact and who seem intelligent. tired of the idiot in office. Love my Country This is from a proud Muslim America.

I vote on what is the fact and who seem intelligent. Tried of the idiot in office. Love my Country This is from a proud Muslim America.

I think it's great that people are going down there and helping the elderly around so they can vote.. however.. Is it appropriate to have a state senate candidate be there in person helping? Isn't that like campaigning at the poll?

Concerned; I have discovered not only are you a racist if your a Republican and you are white but you are also a"Redneck."

lol... Some of you right wing-nuts are pretty funny. Hyporcites and idiots, but funny! Ok, The people who have voted for Obama voted because of his message of hope, unity and a return to responsible government of, by and for the people. It's time we start behaving like we mean it. Let the right yell and scream at clouds. Let them call names. They won't hurt us. Believe in the people and their common sense. Ignore the evil rants and accept any who want to join the struggle to take our country back in the direction our fathers intended. United we stand, divided we shal surely fail. As for those discontented Republicans, if you truly love this Country, do your duty. Pay your taxes. Be a force for unity not division.

There goes my Senator. He's a good man Blue Virginia 08

Black Panthers are intimidating voters in Pa. Check it out.

Why is it considered racist to be a Republican right now? I'm not voting for McCain because he's white, i'm voting for him because we have similar values. His skin color is not the issue I'm concerned with when casting my ballot. Obama may be black, but that doesn't mean that I'm racist for voting for "the white guy". Had Hilary Clinton been the Dem's nominee, I would still vote McCain. People are "racist" because they don't vote Obama, yet the Black Panthers are a justifiable group of what, exactly? Night sticks and threats sound like racism to me, and the targets seem to be white republicans.

Stu Padaso November 4th, 2008 12:42 pm ET Do we really want the elderly and disabled voting? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stu- I am disabled. Why should I not be allowed to vote?

We have got to get a better system for voting! Perioed! It is amazing that we live in the country that is pretty much th eleader of the free world and we cannot get our voting system to work fairly, properly and adequately. I am so disappointed to see what is going on in our country in 2008 almost 2009 with the voting process. For God's sake, someone do somehting and why must we vote in one day, why can't we make a three day affair? why can't we make it easier and a bit more pleasant? I voted early this morning in my small town and didn't have to wait at all. I loved it! I hope that tonight when Seantor Obama wins the eloection, he'll propose something about our voting system that could work better for all of us! Obama all the way to Pennsylvania ave....

I am glad that the elderly are being treated right at the polls. I worried when I heard that there were issues with the way the elderly were treated in Florida during the first few days of early voting. I went to vote this morning at 11am and there wasn't a line, everyone was very nice, and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. It was a pleasant surpise, considering I waited over 2 hours in 2006.

Voting Intimidation By Black Panthers In Philadelphia- Just the kind of Unity I thought we'd get from the Messiah

Obama.., America's first affirmitive action president, curtious of the progressive corrupt MSM. We will not forget..

Just because Obama, Sharpton and NAACP bought this election doesn't mean you can discriminate against Disabled Folks.

CNN only posts the comments that they like so as not to seem biased. I am done with this stupid site. I hope Obama wins so that CNN will not longer have any buu crap to make up about Obama to feed into the Black hating frenzy!!

CNN seems to be doing a good job helping to keep things running smoothly. Obama '08

People this is not about Dems complaining. The Dems as of tonight at Midnight will control The House, The Senate and The Presidency. Not to mention probably the judicial branch in the next 4 years. This means the Dems will control The Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branch of government. Why don't all of you BITTER Republicans just move to Canada, oh wait that is too socialist, how about Mexico, oh wait probably too communist. Where do you go? Don't forget, you have done this to yourselfs and there is no one to blame but yourselves. So now what?

I am an African-American woman that just wants to thank EVERYBODY and thank God for letting Barack Obama get this far. This is a healing moment for every black person in this country and I just want to let you all know how thankful I am. God bless America's spirit and hope.

To Frank F ,remember that you will get old if you live. I hope that you don't feel that way about your parents.

We've all heard the old saw: "If you don't bother to get out and vote, you can't complain about our government." Anyone else find that pretty stupid? Look at it in real life. If my candidate wins the election I will never complain about what he does. There are a bunch of Republicans that still think G.W. Bush was a good President. If my candidate loses the election I will complain about everything the President does. If I don't vote, then I probably didn't care. Why would I complain anyway? Unless I'm a complainer, regardless. I did vote. And I will be complaining if Barack Obama is elected. I will be reminding people everyday of all the promises The One made in order to get elected. I will point out how unsuccessful he is in fulfilling those promises. When, in four years, at the end of his term, he has failed terribly and no one wants to admit they voted for him, I will point out that, if you're Black, there's a 93% chance that you did.

I'm sure it's just for those who are going to vote for Obama. The state already wants to not include ballots of soldiers. Hmm, maybe that can take a hint from Philly, and have some Black Panthers come in and block polling places. Like everything else the libs get their hands on, America will be ruined if they win. NOBAMA

Everybody always blames the republicans for voter fraud, but what about the "Black Panthers" guarding the entrance of the voting places in Philly with night sticks and intimdating everyone. Oh, and in Virginia, they seem to have LOST all of their votes cast by our military, who at last note were 68% McCain. One polling place in Pittsburg already had votes on it when the voting started. A lot of democratic cheating going on here.

Handicapped and the elderly should be moved to the front of the line. Thats just being respectful.

And when Jesus OBAMA was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased

I wonder how many of these elderly people are being TOLD how to vote?????

I'm wondering if it is possible for anyone else to screw the country up anymore then it already is. Fact is people are not happy with Bush + Economy = Republicans that's how they vote. Vote on the issues. Why aren't the ballots in Chinese, they have them in English and Spanish!
