Overtaxed

Oh and Socialism only failed before because the people executing the plan weren't smart enough - this time it will be different! You DC residents deserve your second highest tax rates in the country (which of course go to support the failing schools). Wake up, you can't tax your way to prosperity - it has to be earned (not paid, earned) to be sustainable.

This is to prevent voter intimidation. How would you like it if you showed up to vote and the angry, misogynistic, conservative, "brown shirts" were all wearing their "brown shirts", and you, not being a part of their club, did not wear a "brown shirt". They, of course, would sneer and look down on you, maybe while yelling things like "terrorist!", and "kill em'"... Keep your clothing neutral, save it for the after-party.

"What's this? You're wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see? Don't be that guy."

How about my "Sarah Palin: she's dumber than a bag of hammers but hey, I'd hit that!" t-shirt?

Can I wear a Barack Obama for Illinois State Legislature shirt? How about a John McCain for President (2000) hat?

Oh and by the way, all "__ __ is my homeboy" t-shirts should be banned anyway. What is this, 2003?

FYI, the no Political Shirts/Buttons/Etc. rule applies within the restricted area around Virginia Polling places as well.

Yes, what is the dress code for voting? So far we know one rule.

I'm handing out "Geezer-Dipshit" t-shirts outside the polls, along with "Sarah Palin is an Idiot" bumper stickers

Can you vote without a shirt on?

with the amount of barack t-shirts, hats, and pins that people have around here (and stickers on bags, etc.), this could be a real problem if they actually tried to enforce it on nov. 4th. i get the feeling, in the district at least, that there will be little to no effort to keep people from outwardly displaying affection for obama.

If 200,000 Obama supporters in the District show up to vote in their t-shirts, John McCain could win the three electoral votes. Maybe!

My John McCain butt plug is still okay, right?

Well I as a random sample of the masses had no idea about this. Anyways, good luck trying to enforce that. I doubt it would be pretty.

Might be a little chilly in November for a T-shirt, MAYBE!

Wow. That is ironically very anti-American. Also, if you go to the polls without really knowing who you're going to vote for and could be potentially swayed by someone's paraphernalia, then your intelligence should be questioned.
