Mr. Nightime Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I did my civic duty. The way I look at it, if I DON'T vote, I have no right to bitch about my government.

Dave Horne Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Vote early ... and often. I started a thread yesterday reminding my fellow Americans to vote; there was no mention of party, no mention of names - and my thread was removed without any private messages to me. I look at this thread not as a political thread per se, just a reminder to ... vote early and often. I voted using an absentee ballot (NY). No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments.

Still Learning Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I voted absentee last week, needed extra postage due to all the California ballot initiatives.

I removed the other thread because it began to turn nasty. If this one begins to turn nasty, I'll remove it as well. Anyone who's been hanging out on this forum for any period of time knows how I feel about political and religious threads - and yet some people start them anyway. Every time anyone starts one, you take the risk that I'll remove it.

soundscape Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Originally posted by Dave Horne: Vote early ... and often. I started a thread yesterday reminding my fellow Americans to voteYeah, but I can see that that *does* encourage a debate over whether you should vote, which could quickly become a political debate. I mean, it is stating a view on representative democracy, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Muscara Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Did it. Always do, not every race, because here in TX there are dozens of judicial races and I don't vote for people when I don't know enough about them. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

resigned Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Here in South Carolina our Governor, Mark Sanford, was turned away from the polls because he did not have his voting card with him. He was in Charleston for late rallies and his card was at home in the capitol of Columbia. Good to see this thing being taken seriously by the poll workers (that's what the Governor said too). Unlike Governor Sanford, I voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hines Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If you don't vote, then you don't have the right to bitch about politicians. This is why I ALWAYS vote -- I LIKE to bitch about politicians!!! Famous Quotes About Politicians ================================ Mark Twain: -- "We have the best congress money can buy." -- "There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." -- "Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Davy Crockett: -- "There ain't no ticks like poly-ticks. Bloodsuckers all." Ronald Reagan: -- "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

Steve Force Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 My wife and I voted at 8am this morning, and I was voter number 110. I really like how I feel during the voting process--even though I generally find politics very distasteful. I feel like I am an active participant, not a bystander. BTW: Michigan does not require either ID or a voter registration card.
