“That’s not going to roll with me. Is it going to roll with you?” Does anyone here speak jive? I'd like to have a translation.

"One is not amused, my dear."

This is the type person that can vote, not smart enough to know your not allowed to wear any type of party clothing, stickers etc. now you know why the country is in the shape its in, she voted for the clown on the shirt.

And she got indignant about being rejected because she feels entitled and is not keen on this silly abiding by the rules nonsense.

Is it this Tamika Francis?

Shawna-kay Tamika Francis?

If so, then she’s still one year too young to vote.

That don’t roll with ME.

I know that poll watchers and other “official” persons can’t wear partisan paraphernalia, but it’s news to me that “mere” voters are prohibited.

“That’s not going to roll with me. Is it going to roll with you?” she asked her mom

It said her Mother was disabled, was she in a wheelchair?

Unfortunately, Barbara Billingsley just passed away...

I sure as hell hope you don't vote.
No further comment.

Oh yeah that’s been the law in many states, if not all, for quite a number of years. Otherwise every voter that walks in the door would know what it’s like to be the U.N. guy passing out rice after an earthquake.

Why assume a physical handicap?

[cripplecreek]

I’m all for making it harder to vote. People like this wouldn’t be voting at all if they had a single day to vote and had to stand in line to do it.

Darn - and Barbara Billingsly just passed away last weekend - now we'll never know what that girl was sayin'..............

Good thing I scrolled down before I replied.

I was sad when I read about it, and then about Tom Bosley within a couple of days.

Even though they were actors and largely a fabrication of writers, their characters were family icons. There aren't many like them today.

What I’m picturing is the alternate and much more forceful way of expressing disagreement. Rather than rotating your head back and forth, look forward at all times as you swing your chin toward one shoulder and then the other, like your head is short and rapidly swinging pendulum.

The best I can offer is a few too-short glimpses here and there from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVrNV_5LhNE&feature=related

One year, I was the GOP poll watcher when the Dem counterpart (a union hack) showed up with one of those jackets with a white background decorated in red and blue jackass silhouettes.

I was in a plain denim shirt and could easily have lodged a protest. But I didn't because it soon became apparent that the jackass guy was ramping up GOP turnout. Some of our voters even went home to drag their kids or aged parents back to vote.

I early voted yesterday in Tennessee, and the local candidates had a combination tent city and three-ring circus set up outside the early polling place, right up to the 50-foot limit. This voter was turned off, not on. Fortunately my favorite candidates weren't there. Probably working.

Most states have laws against clothing like this and any political talk in line at the polls.I had to tell people to take off their pins or turn their shirts inside out if they wanted to vote if they got mouthy about it we called the police.It’s the law.

[Sloth]

With no effort whatsoever, I can see every "walk like an Egyptian" head pivot, finger-wag, and hands-on-hips lean-in.

Oh, no you DIH-unht!

[Arrowhead1952]

Probably sheila jackson lee voter too.

The lady wasn’t dead but they had written her off as such and were ready to harvest her organs (b/c she was an organ donor)

Thank goodness she showed signs of brain activity last minute.

Sorry, to slide off topic but the story was rather shocking/frightening to me.
