Swing Vote: Newly Dead Now Oppose Obama
By Stephen Miller
As a Chicago pol, President Barack Obama must be familiar with rumors that the cemeteries vote. If so, he’d probably be worried to find out that in this campaign year, he’s even lost the dead.
In death notices from around the nation, the recently deceased are reaching back to canvass the living.
“In lieu of flowers, Hal has requested that donations be made to your local animal shelter or to any candidate running against Barack Obama in 2012,” reads the death notice of Harold Groves, a retired Air Force fighter pilot who died at age 77 on Aug. 26 in Myrtle Beach, Fla.
Donations should be sent to “the American Cancer Society or who ever is running against President Barack Obama in 2012,” echoes the notice for Donald Charles Unsworth of Rome, Pa., also an Air Force veteran, who died at age 78.

Are they after brains or capital gains?
Yeah, I don't get it either. This is your last act on Earth, the one for which you'll always be remembered, and you choose to make some crass political message? Not me.I just don't understand the thought process of these people. You are dying and your message to the world before you go is don't vote for President Obama. Hell I mean mine would be about friends, family, the Yankees sucking, Boston sport teams being better than yours. That type of thing.
Yeah, I don't get it either. This is your last act on Earth, the one for which you'll always be remembered, and you choose to make some crass political message? Not me.
I prefer not to wait until the end to do that.Two chicks at the same time?
This smells of Witchcraft
Do you think Christine is involved :2razz:?
I really can't imagine doing this myself, but hey ...
:shrug: there is no reason that hate had to be the emotion behind this. personally, i approve of it, were i to die right now, i could see wishing for something along those lines. don't give me flowers (that i can't see, smell, or otherwise appreciate), help to save the country i love from the buffoons in charge of it. hence, it's unsurprising to me that both the individuals mentioned were vets. they have a history of putting the concerns of the nation first.
No, it's not what a normal person would say. Best I can figure is the old guy was a long time Republican.

Both old guys were long time Air Force. Knowing as many as I do, I'm not surprised.
So, I'm to conclude that your brain beginning to rot makes you vote Republican?
If you want to ask for donations, how about toward the fight against whatever disease killed ya? In the case of these guys: donate to the Liver Foundation to end cirrhosis.
ED? There's pills for that. Best not to wash 'em down with a Keystone Light, however.
