Who does your employer support?
 

Meijer supports Obama.

I saw this lil' gem in the claw machine and I had to take a picture.

I'm pretty certain that my employer supports Obama. We do a lot of research and development for high tech stuff, and most of our funding comes from the government. We tend to think that Obama would be more likely to give us funding, I think. A lot of what we do is future-fuel technology sort of stuff.

On the flip side, a lot of our contracts come from the Department of Defense, but I don't think we work on weaponry and such as much as we work on other less deadly things. I believe body armor is one of the things.

The jokes on you I'm unemplyed! Haha.

I'm not sure who my company, as a whole, supports. But, most of my co-workers and a lot of people I've talked to support Obama. There are a ton of lawyers that work here, though, so of course there will be many conflicting views.

Our company does not publically say. My managers are very clear who they support, even though they don't come out and say it. You can tell for the most part what types of personalities are going to vote for which candidate.

I'd say we have more McCain support in our own office, probably about a 5:1 ratio. Then again I am surrounded by idiots, so this doesn't suprise me.

And old people, right? :P

Anyways, my boss is a woman and supports McCain obviously only now because of stupid Palin. She thinks its the most adorable fucking thing that when Palin was on stage or something one time and had her kids up there, one of her youngest kids like licked her own hand and then wiped the Down Syndrome baby's hair down or something.... That's a stupid reason to support an idiot, in my opinion.

Every time my boss and one of our consultants talk about how they just love Palin, it makes me sick and I have to try to tune it out. My boss was for Obama before Palin came along, really only because she didn't like McCain and had no other choice, but still, it was for Obama. And they think that if you're not registered, you have no opinion in the office. It's retarded.

If you want to get technical, tell her that nobody has an opinion in the office becasue it's unprofessional to discuss those matters in the workplace. But if it we're me, I'd be grilling her about every issue I could fathom; Sarah Palin would be the most catastrophic failure as a Vice President we've ever seen.

Just curious, why aren't you registered?

No one at my job even bothers talking about the election unless it's brought up. Even then it fizzles and dies rather quickly, because most of us are voting for Obama.

Well actually I think I registered in like June, but I don't know what to do now. I'm not sure what all happened lol.

I got something in the mail, I don't remember when. It's from the county and it says Official Election Mail. And I got some ID card on it or something. Lol, stuff my mom never taught me. Blarg.

Pretty sure that's your Voters Registration card.. you bring that with you when you go vote. Also, this is new stuff to me.. first election I've been able to vote in.

We had a meeting at school today for the Young Democrats club, we are organizing a demonstration on one of the busy streets here near Jax, it's going to be excellent.

My employer legally cannot support any canidate. However the general consensus among most of everyone I know in the Army is supporting Obama.

And you guys better vote, too!

Of course. And we get absentee ballots, so if it looks like McCain somehow won, its possible all the absentee ballots will come in from Iraq and push Obama over.

Hooray!

Hoo-rah!

I'm getting a "White people for Obama" T-shirt monday!

Get a "Black people for McCain" just for shits too.

Me. And thus they vicariously support my very good friend Jack Daniels.
