Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Among all this political talk lately, I thought it'd be cool for ppl to post here to state they actually did vote. It'll be interesting to see of all those who posted alot in those politcal threads, who are the one's who actually vote.


In an effort to keep this from ending up in an arguement, please DO NOT STATE WHO OR WHAT PARTY YOU VOTED FOR!!  :rant:



There, now having said all that, I voted.  ;D

Could somebody please explain the mid-terms for me?  What happens if Bush loses? :-\

Bush isn't up for office......but he could lose the Republican party's support if they all lose.

Either way.....I would have voted, but our voting machines were down  :rofl:  Goddamn Republicans broke them.  I'm not even wasting my time to go back. 

You'll be hearing this A LOT today I'm sure (not sure if its the repubs fault though).  The long lines, incompetent poll workers, voter intimidation and busted machines are going to make for a REALLY fun news night tonight  :-\  With so many close races you'd think they'd get it right BEFORE the elections?

Good to see that this thread is off to a great start. ? ::)

We don't want this thread to turn into a political debate.

Okay - so what actually happens if the Republicans lose? ?I'm guessing they'll still be in charge (but maybe i'm wrong).


My Point being: what is the point in these elections?

if democracts win 6 seats in senate, or 15 in the house, they become majority in one of these > and will make these next 2 years hell for bush : blocking crazy nazi laws, launching investigation on his nazi/liar/satanist party and friends ....

and maybe we'll find these DAMN WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION !!! :)

The point of these elections is for congress and the senate. Basically the republicans want full controll of congress and senate and the presidency so therefore they can get their policies passed. The democrats want control of congress and/or senate so they can have leverage to get some of their policies passed. Bush will remain president for 2 more years than we will have presidential candiates on the ballot.

I belive theres also 36 state governor elections going on, as well as several other state and local elections as well.

I voted. ?:smoking:

I always thought the Democrats had the majority in the senate anyway, while the Republicans won the popular vote, or something like that. ?I'm not sure of how American politics works, to be honest.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! ?:rofl: :rofl: ? ? ? AWESOME!! ?: ok:


TO DannyTopHat - The election isn't Presidential, it's for C0ngress. Presidential is 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, etc. The off year 02 ,06, 10, etc elections are mostly for Sentate and House of Representatives. Each state has 2 Senators, and the House varies depending on the size of the state. Usually from 2-20 (There are about 540 total House members). Currently the republicans have a slight majority in each, meaning it's easier to get votes & laws passed with a majority, and being Republican the President has good support. However, if the democrats win a few of these races (about 5 Senate & 15 House) they might have the majority. Which will make it harder on Bush. Also, a more significant factor is it could be a indiction for how the US votes for it's next president (Republican or Democrat). Our country is pretty segregated voting-wise. The northeast and west coast states are democratic, the South & middle of US is Republican, leaving only a few states races relatively close or "swing" states.

Around Election day politics becomes Americas favorite pasttime, as it's almost like rooting for teams (Yankees/Red Sox, Cowboys/Redskins).


Back OT, I kept this description non-partisan, let's try and keep this thread that way.

My wife and I voted this afternoon.  Delaware's not a hotly contested election, but we will always exercise our right to vote. 

I'm glad I took 2 days off to recover from the Guns show Sunday up in Jersey.  My body is fucking exhausted!  I don't know how Axl does what he does at the age of 44.  All I know is that when you're lucky enough to see him, you get 100%.  Plus, I was able to get in and vote in less than 5 or 10 minutes.  The after work crowd can have you waiting in line for over an hour!   

I voted

i voted for the communists  ::)

Just got back from voting. 

If not a Republocrat, better to vote for perceived lesser evil or not at all?

Mrs. Punk voted today.........I voted last week.

I thought it was made clear to you that you'd be voting tomorrrow.

hahahaha.

Can't fool me that easy............I'm a blue chip all the way.

I just voted and am also thankful that my town is so backwards that we do not have technologically up to date machines (I think they are still using 1965 machines here) and our votes actually count! :hihi:

i voted!

isnt that all were supposed to say  ???

Voted.....was undecided up until putting the pen to the paper.

I love the senior citizens that are running the voting centers.  I arrived at the desk handling my election district and there was a team of 5 old timers putting their minds together to find my name in the book.  As I'm kind of tall, one of them busted out the old "how's the weather up there" joke and, incredibly, the entire group of them broke out in hysterical laughter, as though in each of their 85 years, they never heard that one.  Good times.

God bless 'em..............my Mom has done it for years now.

anyone wanna guess which way I voted?

For the losers?

MY contribution to this thread I FUCKING VOTED!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for voting. Sadly, the "Britney Spears is getting divorced" thread recv'd the same number of responses ??? which probably expains alot about the future of our country.? ? But it's good to see all of you going out & letting your voice be heard.? ?: ok:? :peace:? All 12 of us? :-\


PS. GeorgeSteele, that's a pretty funny story.

i voted for the french  ::)

But we did it. Rummy is out, and the Dems have taken power.

I voted for Angelides, but he didnt win.  I know the Governator has turned a new leaf and appears to environment-friendly, so let's see how that goes...

California had a proposition to levy an extra tax on smokers :rofl:  I voted for it, but I wasnt expecting to pass, and it didnt.

There was also a proposition to fund R&D for green energy sources by taxing Big Oil.  It didnt pass  :(

Hiya Doc!  How are you?

I voted in my first election yesterday.  8)

All my people and props won.  :D

Twas only a matter of time wasn't it? 12 long years hey?

You guys got to vote on an extra tax on smokes in cali??!! Damn I wish we could have had a vote like that in tx, they just passed it and said smokes are going up a dollar in january. I think its bullshit that i have to pay an extra dollar for my smokes cuz my damn state government can't budget money correctly. They say its to pay for education, when lottery is supose to do that. I think its cuz all the state money pays for the adminitrave salaries of all the damn school districts. In El Paso County alone we have at least 5 districts. They need to change that. And if they do want to add another tax than they should tax something almost everybody buys instead of picking on us smokers yet again. They shouldn't target certain items that less than half of the population of texas buys with extra taxes to pay for state funded policies. I know its a voting thread but i needed to vent. :smoking:
