My voting took like 10 seconds today, I only filled in three bubbles. Prez, Voter ID, Marriage Amendment.
I probably wouldn't care so much about the voter ID except that I was only able to vote today because something like it hasn't passed in the past.

lmao pretty much. "Judges? School board? Soil and water conservation? DON'T KNOW!!"

Just saw this and felt it was appropriate.

Yes! I've seen a lot of "I'm losing friends over this blah blah". Why? Did you become friends with that person BECAUSE of their political views? No? Then why lose friends over it.

I have no clue, but some of these people are crazy. I can link you to it in a PM if you'd like.

I keep reading this thread title as "Erection Results". And then wondering why a thread that is obviously keeps getting replies.

That's all.

I particularly liked the ones with no opponent, just one person running.

"Pshh, I'd never vote for THAT GUY, I'm totally voting for...oh, wait. Crap!"

Next time local elections roll around I am keeping tabs and voting for whatever candidates send me LESS junk mail.

Also, I want to know how the heck people get into my LOCKED apartment building to campaign for these people. They automatically aren't getting my vote. And Frodo doesn't appreciate them. "I'm sorry but my dog doesn't like you, therefore you've lost my vote."

I personally did not like either, though I did give in and vote Romney, because I believed he was the lesser of the 2 evils, even though I don't believe our votes really count.

The results didn't surprise me at all. Though the electoral college pisses me off. How is it an accurate representation of the people's vote, if the people's vote is so close it keeps going back and forth on who is leading with the difference only in the tens of thousands, yet there is a 100 vote difference in the electoral college? If a state is basically 50/50 like say Florida, it shouldn't be that one of the other wins it, they should split the electoral college votes in the state so that it accurately represents the voters. or abolish the electoral college and wait until ALL the votes are in and use popular vote.


As far as social issues go, I actually think that in this election, social issues are the least of our worries. Right now I am much more concerned about the financial state our country is in, than I am about all the social issues.

Because you are supposed to vote for your Congress leaders AND the President. You're supposed to vote all the way across the board, not just pick and choose and spread salt about how the "system is broken".

It's not broken. The people vote in their Congress leaders who in turn put in their Electoral Votes. Now, if you didn't vote for anyone in Congress...it's not much different than not voting for President and then complaining.

YOU'RE D*MN RIGHT WE ARE.

Err, voting our convictions, as it were. Rather.

And that's what happens when you let us wimmen wear shoes and get out of the kitchen long enough to vote
