Voting in Norman Rockwell Land

A 4th heart attack has kept down any hoped for participation but feeling on the mend.

SO.... a town of about 2500, 11 miles east of Bangor Maine in the 2nd Congressional District of Maine

Lines OUT THE DOOR all morning long in a place that went 59-41 McCain and 60-40 Romney.

Baked goods, and booklets on the town history's for sale in the lobby to fund the new playground behind town hall.

In the past 2 months I have seen ONE Hillary sign in the entire Bangor-Bar Harbor-Deer Island area, even though there are PLENTY of Emily Cain signs (she is running, again opposing Bruce Poloquin -R who is our current congressman).

If there is a division in this nation it is not black-white-latino-gay-lesbian-trans ...

It's RURAL-URBAN

Just take a look at the county by county maps tonight.

I have NO IDEA, and NO FEEL for what's going to happen tonight,but Trump was totally correct on one major point >> it is up to the voters to deliver justice tonight.

When John Brennan (our current CIA director) acted to stop BILL Clinton from killing OBL FOUR TIMES, no one raised this at 9/11
When 9/11 happened no one at the FBI or CIA was fired
When there were no WMD in Iraq no one at the FBI or CIA was fired
When we failed to ensure a forces agreement with Iraq no one at the FBI or CIA quit. No one in the Armed Forces resigned in order to display public furor
When Black Panthers in paramilitary outfits  CLEARLY were waving batons to intimidate voters they were EXCUSED
When Iran captured our men on the high seas and displayed them NO ONE in authority was disgraced, and no one resigned over ROE
When Comey had the example of Brian Nishimura IN JAIL, he personally refused to hold Hillary Clinton to her responsibility

This is the nation we have ALLOWED as we have become a nation of frogs in ever more heated water.

I am sure Eddington Maine will go overwhelmingly for Trump tonight.
I only hope that the rural areas, and the OUTRAGED, DISAPPEARING, CRUSHED middle income suburban voters will overcome the urban hideousness of voters for Clinton, and the ignorance of

You had another heart attack?

Pastorius said...

I am sorry to hear about the heart attack, Epa. I had been worried about you.

Take it easy.

L'Chaim!

I am a science experiment

I have pain, then positive troponins test (dead heart cells), they do cath, nothing wrong.

Rx now = pop nitro like you would antacid to prevent any further damage.

Very fucked up

I am a science experiment

Same here! Only I am a kidney experiment.

Terrible pain, but so far the doctors cannot account for it.

If I may add to EPA's list - Obama announced and encouraged illegal aliens to vote with a promise that none would be prosecuted...and no member of the balancing branches of our government would impeach him for his treasonous suggestion.

Multiple heart attackS, EPA? Last I recall, your wife was dealing with serious health concerns. . . and now this?! How do you manage? I have some vague familiarity with your domain since several summer vacations were spent at various campsites in that very rural area during my childhood in the Bangor-Bar Harbor area...some 50 years ago. Sigh. My prayers to you and yours as well as Mr. & Mrs. AoW down near the DC Beltway. Good heavens, American medical practice haa lost it's promising luster in recent years, particularly since ObamaCare.
Sincere best wishes to you all - HRW

HRW,
Thank you so much for your well wishes.

I'm having the health year from hell.

AoW, so so sorry.
