The local newspaper has a photo slideshow on their website that featured various photos taken in Washington County on Election Day. The local newspaper being what it is, failed to put the photos into any sort of context. They didn’t identify anyone in the photos. They offered no explanation as to what the photos were capturing.
For instance, what is this man actually campaigning for? I don’t remember seeing a candidate on the ballot with the name “Bible”. I also don’t remember anything on the ballot that had to do with abortion. I think I would remember that.
If he is Pro-Life, does that mean he is against the death penalty too?
There was something on the ballot concerning gambling. It had to do with allowing slot machines here in Maryland. Personally, I could care less about slots. I don’t gamble or play games of chance. It has nothing to do with my morals or anything like that, I just find gambling to be extremely boring. With that said, I voted to allow slots here in Maryland. The reason? Who am I to tell someone that wants to play slots that they can’t. It’s none of my business.
What exactly is this man trying to get across to the voters? He has a checkmark in the box next to Pro-Life and an “X” next to gambling. Don’t they mean the same thing, a checkmark and an “X”?
I take it that this man was a McCain supporter. I find that to be extremely ironic in that out of the two candidates, Obama is the one that is a born again Christian. He’s the only one that has been married to the same woman his entire life. McCain on the other hand, not so much. He left his first wife for a woman much younger then himself, a woman who’s vast fourtune was built on selling of beer. Most Christians frown on drinking beer, let alone making millions of dollars selling it.
