cpK69 -> Dress Code (10/5/2008 11:15:59 PM)
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081004/D93JNG5G0.html Would this influence your vote? If so, how? Kim

slaveboyforyou -> RE: Dress Code (10/5/2008 11:31:12 PM)
No it wouldn't, but it's still inappropriate. The t-shirts in question are the same thing as a campaign sign. Do you think I should be able to wear a sandwich board advertising my candidate into the voting booth?

Might be funny to watch if someone got stuck trying it, too. [:D] Kim

slaveboyforyou -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 3:48:59 AM)
Well it might not bother you, but there are laws against having campaign advertisements within specified distances of a polling place. We have those laws for very good reasons.

PrincessJ77 -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 3:56:47 AM)
Why don't we ban all clothing at the polls?

Evility -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 4:09:17 AM)
No, it would not influence me. I think the rules prohibiting such are good rules and should be left alone. The rules apply to everyone equally so this woman is not being singled out.

It has nothing to do with a "dress code." It isn't about clothing styles. It's has to do with electioneering at a polling place. Now, I'm sure that wasn't the intent of the lady mentioned in the article. But it has nothing to do with her intentions; it has to do with the Pandora's Box that could be opened by allowing things like that. I'll give you some hypothetical examples. Suppose some overzealous group decide to all show up at the polling place to vote in mass. All of them wear clothing with pictures of Obama dressed in a turban, superimposed over a picture of the WTC towers burning. Suppose another group gets the same idea and shows up wearing T-shirts depicting McCain riding a nuclear missle with a cowboy hat on. How about a t-shirt showing Obama taking a shit on the American flag, or one of McCain fucking Uncle Sam in the ass? Do you get it now?

What is has "to do with the question" is this: It is illegal to have campaign ads within so many feet of a polling place. If a lady wears an "Obama" (or a "McCain") shirt INTO the polling place, she has just worn in a...stay with me here....campaign ad. As those are illegal, she has just apparently done something illegal. See what slaveboy is saying?[;)]................luci

My interest on the topic has to do with the reasoning of the election officials. I was just wondering if their opinions on the subject were accurate. Kim

Would a t-shirt influence your vote? Kim It's not the point. The point is....it's illegal. Can you stay with that concept. That is the reason it is not allowed. And...I'm sure there are some people in this world that can't think for themselves who would be influenced by that.

Though not at the polling place specifically. (Wonder how much they're selling for... the tshirts, not the polling places... lol)

slaveboyforyou -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 7:08:18 AM)
Damn, maybe I should get me a t-shirt business going. My mind is like a demented circus; I can come with ideas like that all day long.

Marion001 -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 8:16:25 AM)
so would she have gotten in trouble if she had removed her shirt and waited in line in her Bra?

Marion001 -> RE: Dress Code (10/6/2008 8:18:30 AM)
i think as long as the shirts are tasteful, discreet and the wearers are not causing a ruckus there should not be a problem. as long as they arent causing trouble with the other voters...though i would like to do that for the chance to stand around in my bra in public because the government made me....

*I get all my ideas from t-shirts. Doesn't everyone?*
