Location: Vermont USA | I vote for who lies the least. It's not as easy as it sounds. Policiations sure like to spend money we could feed a lot of homeless people with what they spend. Should make them give 10% back to their state for fuel assitance.

No matter who you vote for, the government always
seems to win.

Oh. Nevermind. |

| Technically this is a political post. Good luck keeping it focused on the vote topic only! I know I will do my best to help keep it headed in the right direction.
So who'd ya vote for and why? |

Location: SE Michigan | My vote's in. I greatly look forward to an end to all the propaganda on TV and Radio.
Something new this year, I must have got at least two dozen phone calls stumpin' some candidate or cause, but they were all from MACHINES!! At least if a human calls I can give em a piece of my mind. That's probably why they use machines.
Remember that National do-not-call list thing? All my phone numbers are on it but the politicians exempted themselves from this law. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | When you pick up the phone and it sounds like an automatic dialer (maybe you'll just have a gut feeling) click the cutoff switch (assuming you have a landline with one) several times fast.
The machine will think you're number is another machine and kick you out of it's dial system.
I get vertually no telephone solicitors anymore.

Location: Cicero, NY | I always take my daughter with me and we always have the same discussion. It's a responsibility to educate yourself, form an opinion and then vote on it. There are many different perspectives and most are born out of reason even if they mutate into something totally different afterwards, so take it seriously.
Then, usually no matter who wins, keep your sense of humor handy. |

BTW, I voted. I did vote for none of the above in one minor race. I just skipped it since I had no idea on the candidates. |

She said that 'vote' is 'votar' and 'bump' is 'siko' or 'tokmad'. I tried to explain to her but got nowhere. Oh well.
Go out and 'votar', we did. |

P.S. It didn't stop the junk mail or phone calls. :confused: :mad: :confused: |

Location: Tennessee | BTW, I did vote. We had some very interesting propositions and bond measures in California. The congressional race was the only one that my single vote really mattered. And I wrote myself in for one office ... I figured I could do the job far better than the crooked numbskull who was running unopposed. |
