Today is the day. Get off your behinds and get out and friggin VOTE!
-
It's November already? :huh
-
Been and done... Very funny to watch my wife and I walk in, and then split... her to the Demo table and me to the Repub table...:lol she says we're incompatible (20 years). I was going to screw around with Hillary and Obama but... we need a new Sheriff and the one I want is a republican.
-
Amazing radio interview of obama this morning. He was able to put together a whole lot of words and not say anything.
Hillary sneered on the radio yesterday.... but you could not see it.
-
vote early and vote often.
-
I'm not patient enough to wait in line. Had to do early voting.
-
All Republicans should go and vote for Hillary. They are allowed to vote in the Dems primary. If she win's Texas, she'll fight Obama to the death for it. We could have months more of enjoyable Democratic fratricide and blood-letting.
:D ,

that originally was my plan a few days ago. That changed when I realized that the candidate I wanted for County Sheriff was a republican, and You can only vote either Democratic primary or Republican primary,
one vote for Ron Paul, and one vote for Terry Pickering, Bastrop County Sheriff to replace our incarcerated, corrupted sheriff...

I was pretty pleased with what I saw this morning at the local polls.
One side of the room was deserted, the other was full. :)
I guess folks around here are not into hope and change........or smoke and mirrors. :rofl

You must live in a gerrymandered district. Both sides were busy at my polling place.
-
I'm voting for Obama 'cause I want change!

all districts are gerrymandered, thats how you get a 98% re-election rate.

first, thanks RPM, probably the first time in awhile i had to go lookup a word... I have heard it before but I guess I must have forgotten it..
for those that may not know...
Word History: "An official statement of the returns of voters for senators give twenty nine friends of peace, and eleven gerrymanders." So reported the May 12, 1813, edition of the Massachusetts Spy. A gerrymander sounds like a strange political beast, which it is, considered from a historical perspective. This beast was named by combining the word salamander, "a small lizardlike amphibian," with the last name of Elbridge Gerry, a former governor of Massachusetts—a state noted for its varied, often colorful political fauna. Gerry (whose name, incidentally, was pronounced with a hard g, though gerrymander is now commonly pronounced with a soft g) was immortalized in this word because an election district created by members of his party in 1812 looked like a salamander. According to one version of gerrymander's coining, the shape of the district attracted the eye of the painter Gilbert Stuart, who noticed it on a map in a newspaper editor's office. Stuart decorated the outline of the district with a head, wings, and claws and then said to the editor, "That will do for a salamander!" "Gerrymander!" came the reply. The word is first recorded in April 1812 in reference to the creature or its caricature, but it soon came to mean not only "the action of shaping a district to gain political advantage" but also "any representative elected from such a district by that method." Within the same year gerrymander was also recorded as a verb.
And yes, In Bastrop county, things looked pretty equal at both tables, but I didnt hang out very long either... I am going back tonight at 7 for the caucas... I'm hoping for a knock down drag out on the Dems side of the fire station... :lol

Make yourself a cardboard sign and sit on a street corner and you'll get more valuable and viable change.

And THAT 98% [/b] is the biggest political thing stifling change.
You want change? Vote against the incumbant, whoever they are, and whatever party they may belong to.

On my way to the fire station. Had to come home and drag my daughter out of the house and take her to vote.

Well, I gotta say, the night ended differently that I thought it would. I went only to observe and ended up volunteering and selected to be a Republican Delegate for my precinct and will go to the County Republican convention at the end of March.
Sorry Jackal, no fist fights... it took about an hour and a half to vote on our resolutions for the county convention. We started at 730 and finished about 900. But when we finished our Republican caucus/primary the Democrats were still standing in line to pick their delegates... :lol
As I left I asked them if they were still waiting on picking delegates, a couple said yea, I said "You guys should have been Republicans, you'd be done and goin home now..." :lol some of them were clearly not amused... them dang democrats,... no sense of humor... must have been at least 75 of them still waiting in line.... :lol

WTG Airscrew, now you're a part of the "system" and will be repressing the masses.
;p
