George Bush Accidently Votes For Obama
Nov. 06, 2012 - http://dailycurrant.com/2012/11/06/george-bush-accidently-votes-obama/


Former U.S. president George W. Bush accidentally voted for Barack Obama today at a polling place near his Crawford, TX home.

According to local reports, the two-term Republican was confused by the instructions on his electronic voting machine and mistakenly cast a ballot he intended to discard.

Witnesses say Bush argued with poll workers for several minutes afterwards in a effort to redo his vote, but in accordance with state law they ultimately denied his request.

The embarrassing incident may have gone unnoticed if it weren't for a local newspaper reporter who happened to be voting in the next booth. Suzanna Everett, a politics correspondent for the Waco Times witnessed the entire ordeal and crafted a cunning scheme to make it public.

....not Crawford. The Crawford "Ranch" was, for all practical purposes, an elaborate stage setting to give the impression of "Bush*, the Texas rancher." NOTHING could be further from the truth.
