Led Zep Gurl Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I voted early a week ago last Friday! Had to wait in line for about 30-45 minutes. Paper ballots were used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medhb Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Well, I voted yesterday...since I figure it is going to be crazy Tuesday, I decided to beat the rush and take advantage of California's early voting. Meanwhile, while the rest of you wait for Tuesday, someone sent me this and I'm passing it along...although you might have already seen this. Dear Red States... If you manage to steal the election again, we've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share. We get Tina Fey and Christiane Amanpour. You get Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of under-educated single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Texas and Arkansas. Peace out, Blue States Love it! And actually believe it might not be far from the truth. I suspect that if McCain 'wins' this election that the National Guard better be prepared...just sayin. Gee, I have never had to wait long at all! I live in a small suburb so hopefully I get through the line fast. I'm going before work and don't want to be TOO late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepyep Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi all, Gee, I have never had to wait long at all! I live in a small suburb so hopefully I get through the line fast. I'm going before work and don't want to be TOO late! Funny,most of us never complained ever having to wait. This was back in the 70's,80's,90's. 'Til next year,...

Lake of Shadows Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) We don't have the option of early voting, so I'll be doing my bit on Tues. My daughter has done her absentee ballot which I'll get to hand deliver on Monday. We both know how our state is going to go, but we voted our conscience(s?) anyway. Rock Action... I wrote in Colin Powell in '96 when I couldn't go with either candidate. Yes, I knew the vote would be a 'throw away', but I wanted to 'make a statement' anyway... even if I was the only one who knew or cared. edited for typo stupidity Edited November 2, 2008 by Lake of Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Which state is that, Lake? We don't have early voting either so I plan to go Tuesday Afternoon (capitalized as a nod to the Moody Blues ) Am very curious to see what the turnout will be.....every other time I've voted at this address (since 1989) there were only 3 or 4 other voters there at same time. I'm expecting more this election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Just popping by to say: If you can, please give rides to people you know who can't get to the polls. Like your elderly neighbors, handicapped folks, lazy teenagers, anyone you can think of who needs to get there. If you don't know who needs trans, call your local precinct and volunteer. !!!!!!!!!!

marolyn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Wanted Hillary of course. then you know who to vote for...i see hillary getting a pretty prominent position... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was there when the polls opened at 6. The lines looked really long, but I was done in about 20 minutes. And I got my free cup of Starbucks; had you heard about that? Starbucks was giving out a free tall coffee today if you voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marolyn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Do you believe that? Then why didnt she get picked over Biden? i absolutely believe it...true, i wish he had picked hillary as well, but he will not pass up the influence that the clintons have...to include bill...people over here love that man and hopefully he will be dispatched as an ambassador to the world...a lot of damage has to be undone...i've traveled to around twenty-three countries since i have been here and the only country where i consistently received positive comments about america was morroco....that was the only place where everyone said "america...good country"...heck, i've even been yelled at by a few norwegians and these are about the most docile people i have ever encountered! i'm just sick and tired of being yelled at for being american...

marolyn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It really is shocking and it is quite ignorant of them to mock us. What the hell do most of us have to do with Bush's decision making? Didnt they notice that half or more of the people in this damn country of over 200 millions people didnt want any part of him? i think they realize that... side story...was with a friend in poland while we were getting "lectured" about bush and she tells the guy, "it wasn't like i was the only person who voted for him!"(as if that absolved her)...i just looked at her and said, "looks like you're the only one here who did...this one's yours"...and i walked out...i was laughing so hard when she came out and said "thanks a lot!"

Darth_Prime Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 to be honest, i can't stand obama, he is a cocky, stuck up, scum bag like the lot of them, and i would rather die before i voted for a republican, i'm so damn tired of hearing about "wasted votes" how is it a wasted vote if you vote for who you believe in, not the god damn lesser of two evils thing, i'm one of the biggest far left liberals( if i have to use that word) I've yet to see,meet, or hear how the hell can anyone say obama is the most "liberal" person we have had run, or Mccain shows liberal tendencies, to hell with all that, nothing will change with obama, and i'm so tired of hearing all this bloody lot of how he is the voice of change, and everyone like sheep is flocking to him, bollocks to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~tangerine~ Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Four hours ago! I hope and pray my vote makes a difference this time. Funny thing, someone tried to advise me on who i should pick. He said "Do you know we have an American hero running"? I said "Joe Biden" and he said, no... lol, like anyone should waste their breath telling me who to vote for. As my daughter says, we want Obamo (not a typo). Time for the Bush followers to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Prime Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Closest one would have been Dennis Kucinich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spats Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I wish i lived in America because i would love to help get Obama elected and make sure there is not 4 years of another George Bush or Sarah Palin in the White House. And this is coming from someone who has never voted in their entire life. Edited November 4, 2008 by spats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanna be drummer Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just another fun picture. How much farther left can you possibly be if Dennis Kucinich is your closest match? He's not revolutionary or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Prime Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 no he is not, but out of the lot of them, i guess he would be me only choice.. i'm too far left for even that lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, but since our country did elect him (or he managed to get elected somehow i can't figure out) and he did ruin our relations with the rest of the world (as well as screwing us, i don't see why there's any mystery surrounding their opinion. I feel the same and i have lived here my entire life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footsteps of Dawn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I voted! I get an absentee ballot, but I didn't turn it in until today, hur. Well, they don't call me "Last Minute FOD" for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
