Location: Boise, Idaho | We are still small enough that I know some of the people running, even for national offices. Sometimes that's a bad thing when you know the candidate is a total moron, but he'll win anyway. A shame when a strong candidate can't win because he's from the "wrong" party. |

Location: Keller, TX | I did vote. However, with all the negative ads, campaign funding issues, dishonest politicians (redundant, I know) I seem to find that I usually end up picking between the evil of two lessers. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | We voted for the asshole who called us the least. Thank God this mess is finally over. Georgie got his message. Hopefully they'll spend the next two years actually trying to do something rather than get even for not being in power for the last six. |

Did the levy for the Epaulet Garden in the City Square or the Kim Keller Kiddy Park go through?
Do you have any more of your "Put a six string in every house" campaign buttons?
Hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained! |

Location: Parrish, FL | My wife and I were all set to join the fun when my blood pressure went wacko. I spent Tuesday night in the hospital awaken every 4 hours by the vampires and the saddest with the blood pressure cuff. I can't understand why they weren't on the same 4 hour schedule! :rolleyes:
Anyway, after the whole battery of test, NADDA! I'm healthy as a (overweight) horse. I need to lose 30 lbs, eat healthier, and get a job with less stress.
It should be along winter! :( |

Vampires and Sadists have different Unions.
". . lose 30 lbs, eat healthier, and get a job with less stress . ."
Where do I mail you my co-pay check?? . . you're telling me what my doctor's been telling me for years, now.
Of course, when I ask him if (when I get the less-stressful job - with little/no MedInsurance) if he'll give me a discount on his fees . . .
- I get no response.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Voting afterthought:
In Denver, the city officials had a really great idea this year . . . cut back on the number of precincts from 300 to 55, use laptops with the entire Denver registered voter list (millions) in the database so anybody could vote anywhere, and then staff it with folks who never used a computer before. I stood in line for 2.5 hours. The two guys behind be kept running over to the market and bringing back six-packs. By the time we got to the front door, one was passed out and the other was so hammered that they wouldn't let him in (at least not while I was there). My neighbor thought he'd show up just before closing and avoid the rush. He was in line for five hours. I understand we made the national news. |

Location: NJ | Actually, Ms. Harris is doing the re-count(surprise,surprise) in Sarasota . . .
They used t'close the bars (and liquor stores too, I believe) years ago, to curtail politcal henchmen from "buying votes" by plying people with free alcohol . . .
Sh!t! . . with the choices that I had THIS year, . . I'da been up for any & all bidders! . . . |

Location: Phoenix AZ | AZ congressional seat is a mess. Incumbent (republican) is 5000 votes behind with 1 million votes uncounted. The dem wants him to conceed. I think they should just go out back and blow each others brains out.
Once again this year, I did NOT vote and I'm damn proud of it. These bastards run such negative, vile campaigns, they call my house with pre-recorded slander messages, they plaster my neighborhood with eye polluting billboards. It just makes me sick. There's not a god damn one of them worthy of my vote. Unfortunately I was too lazy to repeat one of my other tactics, which is to write myself in for every single position on the ballot. I've done it before.

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | I don't understand why you folks have such trouble with your elections...where so many seem to have difficulty understanding what's going on.
It's that revolution thing. Once you ran away from the stability of the monarchy the political evolution was all down hill. (Even if the Declaration of Independence is a beautiful piece of democratic poetry. Most of your citizens don't understand it...including certain people in high places.)
Call in John Cleese for the solution: Revocation of Independence |
