Yep, I voted, not that it did much good. As ilbob pointed out earlier, our illustrious Gov will soon be seeing the inside of a courtroom more often that when he was practicing law. Unfortunately the Feds did'nt indite before him the election, so now we'll have to put up with his equally useless underling. Somethings will never change, the City Of Chicago will always control Cook County and Springfield and will always be Democratic.
 
Yup. And went and bought a Thompson cigar after to celebrate:) (Cheap cigar I know but smoke shop was closed by then so I got what I could at Mikes Liquor)
 
Yep -I voted, too - #242. Not that it means much here in NJ; Repubs and Dema's are pretty much the same (I refer to most elected officials in NJ as "Republicrats").......:banghead:
 
Straight-ticket Democratic. Beauprez is going down. Anyone have a problem with that?

I didn't want to have to make this a partisan post, seeing as the OP specifically asked not to discuss who you voted for, but with all the Repubs using the thread to push their agenda I decided I might as well push back. I'm surprised anyone thinks a party that cheerfully throws out Amendments 4-10 has any regard for the 2nd, especially in light of Hurricane Katrina.
 
Katrina?

You're not under the impression that somehow the mayor of New Orleans switched parties?

The whole gun confiscation thing in N.O. was local.

You hafta be careful that you don't assign blanket blame to the party of a sitting president for every idiotic thing that's done during his term in office.

It looks like the Republicans got spanked.

That makes us next in line.

The closet communists will declare a "mandate of the people" (hey, they voted for us, so they must want everything we've ever proposed) and resurrect every piece of socialist idiocy that they think they can squeeze through.

I guess if I had a compulsion to give more of my money away, re-route our GDP to Mexico, and give aid and comfort to a culture whose elementary school textbooks explain how they will destroy our society, all the while bracing for the next wave of "protective" legislation banning the means of self defense "for the children" then I'd be happier than a pig in skat.

Yeah. That'll show those pesky Republicans. Punish them good. Like last time.

Fabulous.

God, sometimes I wish I were a drinking man.

You don't say.

FEMA, an incredibly corrupt agency even on its best day, was in charge of New Orleans after the hurricane. Their behavior was perfectly in line with the Bush Administration's campaign against individual rights in the name of national security. And if you want to call somebody out for trying to turn America into a police state in order to "protect the children," Alberto Gonzales is your man:

Today's Republicans are the party of Giulani, Pataki, Bloomberg, Brady, Bennett and Schwarzenegger. The neocons, to borrow a piece of their own done-to-death rhetoric, hate freedom.

The majority of Democrats hate freedom even more fiercely. They demand to live in slavery and will not be satisfied with anything less. Good luck with those constitutional rights Pelosi will give you. :rolleyes:

But, we could sling bumper sticker slogans all day long - doesn't prove anything.
 
I voted at 6:00. Not a single Libertarian on the ballot so I voted by picking who supported more of the things that I do. It turned out about the way I expected it to. Time to see where we go from here...

Voted, but as usual, our rural, conservative, upstate votes are crushed by liberal NYC votes. Still, managed to retain our region's Republican congress critter.

What sort of slavery would that be? You do know more than a third of Democrats own guns, right?

The RKBA is the only civil right Democrats haven't consistently backed, and that's changing as we speak. The antis' heyday ended in the 90s, and they have nowhere to go but downhill. All they have to fall back on are outrageous lies about shooting down airplanes with .50 BMG rifles.
 
Voted hell yes; but in NY my vote is not enough to stem the tide of corrupt Democratic Party cronyism, and unabayed liberalism run amok.:barf:

[Roars of laughter]

This thread should be moved, anyway, so let's go ahead and get it shut down. Have they consistently backed the right of all Americans not to be murdered, regardless of age, or have they demanded a right to murder those who cannot speak in their own defense? They remain committed to the latter.

The list could go on. When I say that most Democrats demand to live in slavery, I am speaking of their refusal to keep their own money and manage their own health care, retirement, etc. Instead, they demand that they and others surrender money to a distant government to subsidize sub-standard care. I am speaking of their refusal to allow charity and families to deal with poverty and insistence that the same distance govt. take any extra funds out of the family budget and waste much of it, spending the rest on inefficient and uncaring programs to distribute erstwhile charity. I speak of their refusal to deal with bigotry on a voluntary, individual basis, and instead keep bigotry alive by enforcing tolerant attitudes through government. That's called thought-crime.
