Falwell's Liberty University is cancelling classes on election day

[Chipper Chat]

Now that's desperation! Sounds like 'god' is ordering all students to vote (for McCain of course).

But hey - wait a minute. Maybe that's not such a bad thing!
Why not EVERY university in battleground states cancel classes? Get those librul kids to the polling places. That would offset the Libery Baptist effort 10 to 1. Contact the chancellors at the Indiana University, U of Ohio, and Florida State, etc.
What' good for the religious goose is good for the secular gander.

1. Good. Election Day should be a national holiday. n/t

6. Or the voting process need to be streamlined

It's never taken longer than 10 minutes for me to vote in the UK. With polls open from 7am to 10pm, just about everyone gets a chance to go to their polling station, whatever their work is. Or they can get a mail-in ballot (though that it wide open to electoral fraud, so I wouldn't recommend the US copying the UK system for that).

2. Don't worry about it. The more liberal schools in VA are

putting just as big of a push ahead. My daughter's campus has been signing kids up to vote for weeks. AND, every door on her floor sports an Obama sticker.

3. What's the matter? Can't their students do two things in one day? n/t

4. You mean THREE things (Attend classes, pray, and vote)

No, they can't. As they must pray all waking hours between classes the voting time MUST come from class time.

5. "Suspention of .........." is a common Republican Tactic..

It's not their fault - they're just following the leader. :eyes:

7. Here is my proposal

A law that gives all employers a tax credit for every employee who:

A. Votes on or before election day.
B. Takes election day off to work in the polls on election day.(This credit should be worth more than the just voting)
C. Or the employer could choose a tax credit for being closed on election day

The law would stipulate that the employer must allow the employee as much time as necessary to leave work travel to the polling place and vote. The only way the employer can get the tax credits is verify his employees voted.

8. Good. Those kids are probably so repressed they'll spend the day drinking and fucking,

instead of voting.
