free starbucks coffee if you vote!

Written by on November 4, 2008 in politics - 8 Comments

The epitome of American Democracy/Capitalism – “I Voted” sticker on my shirt and a free Starbucks coffee in my hand. It took me a total of 23 minutes from when I stood in line to when I put my ballot in the machine. Lines outside LifeChurch.tv (where I work) are super long, probably an hour to two-hour wait. I voted for change (Obama ’08). How about you? Did you vote? How long were the lines?

    well in Georgia, apparently it’s a felony to give out free stuff for voting. Just sayin… but probably nothing to worry about, they can’t put all you starbuck drinkin liberals in jail… can they?

    Also, I just caught this today but O.M.G. the irony.

    How long are they giving free drinks for voters? Krispy Kreme is giving free donuts to voters. I mailed in my ballot…very simple…unless you live in Florida and cannot read or follow directions…

    Hoag, I think they were passing out a tall drip coffee to anyone that said they vote all day today, and chic fil-a was giving away chicken tenders! Oh the beauty of a democracy driven by free food and drink!
