Anyone else voting for a repuke besides me?

[William Bloode]

Serious, i will be voting a 99.9% Dem ticket. Only one i will vote puke on is for Sheriff. My reasoning for this is he has been on the job for 20yrs and does a good job. This is coming from a man who has spent much time in his custody. He's fair, not a hardass yet does his job effectively. I may be tempted to vote Dem here, but i will trust the known on this one. Lord knows when i might end up in jail again, or have to deal with an overly enthusiastic person in office and his policy.

What other Sheriff is gonna tell me he don't care if i grow some dope as long as i don't get caught selling it? I can't take that chance, he's my enabler. ;)

Anyone else voting repuke for any reason?







Ok flame away, i got my asbestos drawers on. :hide:

[gfnrob]

1. Vote away my friend!

:smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

[KyndCulture]

2. Nope.

Already voted straight ticket.

[William Bloode]

9. Good for you.

I would like to, but this is one spot i gotta go the other way. He actually believes in sane drug enforcement. Gotta go with him considering my government declared war on me years ago.

[question everything]

22. Is it even a partisan office?

Yes, I voted for Republicans before, for non-partisan offices like country supervisors and city council members. At least, when their party affiliation was not part of the campaign.

[William Bloode]

31. Not really unless he was using his job a launching pad for other branches.

He just wants to be Sheriff, that is all. No real effect really, which is why i don't feel guilty.

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Do you use medical Marijuana or you just like to

:smoke: That's why you're voting for the sheriff? I would think ANY Democrat would be more Liberal about the Marijuana issue? I mean, most of them have probably imbibed...i...;) have you asked the other candidate what he/she thinks or has he/she stated his/her position? OR is this something else altogether?

[William Bloode]

36. Yes i use medically.

I am officially disabled and collect a check. Why take opiates everyday and be really bombed and totally addicted when i can get by with a few vape hits, or a nice pastry?

Yes i have quizzed the Dem about his position. No he is not progressive on this issues. He is trying to come off as tougher than the other guy. I won't place a vote thats gonna have me lose everything i have.

And you can think any Dem would be better on this issue but usually they are not. WOD is too much of a hot button issue and most run like cowards from it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. Ah...I see.

I sympathize with you. I use to smoke in my younger days. Loved it, but no can do anymore. I can't blame you for this vote. Have at it William!:hi:

[William Bloode]

80. Thanks, and have a great day.

:smoke: <<<< Having at it now!

[Jawja]

3. I am actually considering voting for ONE

Repuke, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Probably will rest upon how I feel when I encounter the machine on Tuesday.

[William Bloode]

11. Do what your heart tells ya.

On this one my heart has to be red. Sadly the puke has a view of sane drug policy, while the Dem does not. Sad id it not?

[Jawja]

144. Well, ZELL MILLER

just endorsed this Repug, so I will NOT be voting for him!!

What a turncoat traitor!! :mad:

Why doesn't Zell just switch parties???

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. NO. Never have, never will. n/t

[William Bloode]

12. Oh but you may if you knew voting blue may result in you persecution.

Thats my problem here. Why vote to be persecuted?

[FARAFIELD]

5. Ill vote for one, my dentist who is also the city councilman,

Not a right winger which is saying a lot here. I dont mind republicans (like my dads-type), although there is no way i would vote for one for a Federal office, since they would just enable the bushbot agenda. its the fucking right wingers that i cant stand. I see a think like this Haggard wing ding and the right wing radio wonders why we cant stand them?

[William Bloode]

14. I hear ya.

Sometimes labels suck. I also don't feel to guilty as it's just local, and he has no aspirations beyond his current job.

[baldguy]

6. I will not be voting for ANY endorsed Republican candidate.

[William Bloode]

16. I bet you would consider it if it meant you may face persecution.

The guy we have now knows i grow for medical reasons, and has for 5yrs. He does not care as long as i never get caught selling. The other guy has no such belief. Despite being Dem, he believes in draconian policies that could harm me or my family. So i will not vote against my best interest ans beliefs for some party line crap.

[lcordero2]

7. are you sure that he is a Repuke? n/t

[William Bloode]

18. Oh yeah,

Maybe a bit of the sheep in wolfs clothing thing, but yeah he's a repug. Just one of those increasingly rare ones that are decent.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. My State Rep (R) is unchallenged

But I'll still be casting a vote for "No Candidate". :)

[William Bloode]

68. Most likely a wise choice. N/T

[EvangelOphileBlican]

105. Write yourself in. n/t

[aquart]

10. I won't flame you.

A fair and just official is all we ask. If this man has had you in custody and you are still willing to vote for him, that's endorsement enough for me.

And he doesn't affect the composition of the Congress.

[William Bloode]

25. Thats how i look at it.

He has no aspirations beyond his job. he's a decent true compassionate dude. Only jail i have ever been in that if you get hauled in and say your hungry. No matter what time they will get a trustee to fix you a plate of some kind. Yes even at 3a.m.

[patrice]

13. I know our candidate for State Treasurer from a long time ago

. . .

I voted for the Republican.

[William Bloode]

26. LOL!

:rofl:

[BonnieJW]

15. As an independent, I often will vote for a real

republican if they are great at the job; however, none of us can afford to vote for one running for either the senate or congress. The reason is obious; we need a majority. In other times, I always vote for the person not the party. It's a new party - The Americans. Consider joining.

[shadowknows69]

17. Can ya sell me some?

I won't tell him. B-)

[William Bloode]

29. I'd think about it,

But i don't wanna end up back in his custody. Yer welcome to stop by anytime though. This weeks special is Herijuana x Black Dominia, known as Black Herijuana. Along with a nice fruity concoction of Apollo 11 x Ortega which i call Space taco.

[shadowknows69]

51. Where I live

Pot doesn't have names anymore. Its whatever you can get. Considering moving though.B-)

[William Bloode]

66. Same here if you gotta buy it.

It's cheap as dirt though. An oz of commersh is only like $50. Almost always compressed green Mexi.

[cwydro]

85. wondering how many of us

just checked to see where you live....:9 ...sure wish it was closer to me!

[William Bloode]

87. Lol!

I'll take that as a compliment. :toast:

[cwydro]

100. oh yes!

meant it that way. And how to you find the vaporizer things? I read about them in Rolling Stone or somewhere, but never see them in the local headshops...of course...I have no idea what they even look like...:smoke:

[William Bloode]

102. Now ya do know.

Check yer pm's. :smoke:

[warrens]

19. Maybe

I'm voting against Todd Stroger here in Chicago (a whiny little scumbag who thinks because his father had a stroke, his father's seat belongs to him...not to mention lying to the press when his father had the stroke so he would win the primary so Todd could replace him). I'm either voting for the Repuke scumbag, who at least is competent, if nuts, or writing in another dem. I'm leaning toward the Repuke, because I don't want just a protest vote, I want to see Stroger go down)=.

If you're interested, google Todd Stroger, Chicago, Cook County. You'll see what I mean. The term machine politics doesn't even begin to describe this little pissant.

[Norquist Nemesis]

24. Stroger SHOULD go down

It was stupid what they did and the way they handled it. If they were smart about it, they would have gone ahead and put in the other Dem candidate that ran against Daddy Stroger. Instead, they chose to risk it all...big time.

[William Bloode]

30. Cool i'll have a look.

Gotta do whats in your heart.

[tcfrogs]

49. Have you seen the e-mails from Stroger's opponent?

Somehow I got on his e-mail list and I get at least two a day.

The Stroger situation IS ridiculous. I probably won't vote in that race at all.

[ronnykmarshall]

20. I voted for one Libertarian.

Our Democrat running for state assembly is an asshole and will NEVER get my vote.

[William Bloode]

33. Vote your mind i say.

At least your minds mostly blue. Besides i can dig Libertarians, some.

[ronnykmarshall]

56. The Libertarian does stand a chance

nor does the Republican. We live in one of bluest districts in the state. The democrat ran a smear campaign in the primary against one of our city council members. After the primary he was riding in the gay pride parade and we booed his ass. One of his fucking supporters got up in my face and was STILL talking shit about his primary opponent.

You could hold a gun to my head and I will never vote for that fucker.

[William Bloode]

73. Eh' ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

At least you don't have to wipe off the slime. :thumbsup:

[RB TexLa]

21. I voted for one once for state senate

The Dem was a complete idiot, knew nothing about many of the issues, ran only one campaign ad on TV in which he appeared with a shotgun over his shoulder saying the La. legislature was going to take our right to have guns away (a fear that brings up images of hockey being played in Hell). The republican lady is a bit to the right on many things but has done a good job in working for the local economy both with business and in the legislature, she is good on race issues and works well with the city Democratic officials and the rest of our area Democrats. The district is much more republican than it was at the time she was elected and had she not been I know there would have been a much worse republican representing the district.

[William Bloode]

35. Sounds like my dilemma.

In this case my vote was for the more progressive candidate really.

[knitter4democracy]

118. I'm abstaining on two local races.

I don't like the one at all. I don't trust him, and he's been caught doing some campaign finance crap. The other one is a dink, but I might vote for her anyway, considering the Republican running against her is a major operative who worked for both Bush campaigns in our state. Ick.

[William Bloode]

121. Thast what rough with politics.

Theres a lot of ick factor to the whole nine yards.

[etherealtruth]

23. Here's a confession

I must preface my confession by stating that this was the one and only time I've voted for a repuke ... I'm 44 and have been voting since I was 18 (a large part of my family culture is that one votes in all elections!)

Confession:

While living in Virginia (the 1990's),in a race for sheriff, I had to make a choice between the incumbent sheriff (someone I'd characterize as "a good ole boy") that was running as an independent and a republican that appeared sane, educated and in possession of a plan.

Over the Labor Day weekend the incumbent had placed a guy in the Spotsylvania County jail for driving with a suspended license ... unfortunately the sheriff's department forgot about the guy and left him there alone (no food ... ) for the 3 day weekend. Obviously, the guy was intent on suing the county ...

i voted for the repuke, Ron Smith, over the independent incumbent T.C Waddy. Prior to that election Waddy was a repuke.

I remember the details because I was so traumatized to vote for a repuke!

[William Bloode]

37. Sounds like my reasons.

In my case the puke is the more progressive compassionate guy. Anyone can take any label they wish, does not make it so.

[bridgit]

27. eh, it happens, there was a time we may have considered voting for...

McCain...but not anymore

sup, William :hi:

[William Bloode]

39. Ya know me too.

And you got that right about no more, McCain is a slimeball to me now.

Hope the day finds you well brigit. :hi:

[bridgit]

47. doing better going into the weekend here, loved your post in that...

boxing thread the other day; i showed it to hubby and he mentioned, "you can tell he's been there" his god-father was a club manager down south out here in cali, you know club boxers & prize fighters...tough stuff

take care, William, you're one of the folks i'd like to see peace all about them :hug:

[William Bloode]

71. Thanks lady.

I have had a hard life, i need some peace and love nowa days. :yourock:

I feel sometimes i either have alienated a ton of folks because i was a fighter, and wrestler. Many don't understand, or think i'm fulla shit. Either is ok with me at this stage. i just feel i am a bit on the violent side for so many here.....i do understand though :dilemma:

Thanks again, always nice to hear from you. :pals:

[Critters2]

28. Nearly voted Repug for governor

but couldn't do it in the end (I have an all-day retreat Tuesday, so did early voting). Couldn't bring myself to vote for the corruption that is our current (Dem) governor, either. So, (flame guns up!) I voted Green. I know lots of others doing the same. Looks like Governor Corruption is going to win anyway. Wish I could've crossed the river and voted for Chet Culver!

Want me to vote a straight ticket? Give me decent candidates!

[William Bloode]

43. You voted for what you believed best.

Thats all that can truly be asked.

[louis-t]

32. Almost decided to vote one for Sec. of State in MI

She actually did a good job. However, I found out she is closely tied to * admin. I think I'll vote against her.

[knitter4democracy]

120. Sabaugh is really good.

She has some good ideas on how to clean up the elections, and Land's office sent out illegal letters to intimidate voters and keep them home in mostly Dem precincts.

Also, Amos Williams rocks! He's a former civil right atty., so he'll be perfect for State Atty. General.

[William Bloode]

135. My guy being Sheriff gets to kinda steer from supporting this admin.

That helped my mind a lot.

[Beelzebud]

40. This will be the first year I've voted a straight Democratic ticket.

I'll be voting for every single D on the list.

[William Bloode]

45. I have too suck it up and vote one R.

I kinda hate to, makes me feel a touch of a traitor, but i know it's the right choice.

[DaveJ]

41. Isn't there a way of getting good R's into another party?

There is too much stigma involved with being a Republicans. People should get the same feeling about Republicans as they do with the Fascist party I think. They need to become irrelevant.

[William Bloode]

46. Now i'll agree with that.

I don't see why this guy does not go blue. Well yeah i do, it's because i live in red bible belt hell and that red R can mean a lot.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

42. I think of those as non-partisan positions

Well, except here in Maricopa Co. AZ where we have wingnut freak Joe Arpaio as our sheriff. It sounds like you know this guy pretty well and are confident in his abilities. And he seems to have a pretty reasonable stance on pot.

I voted for a Republican school board member. She's admitted to me she's only a Republican because this is such a Red area and she wouldn't get elected otherwise. She talks, acts, and votes like a Dem. Education is too important to be a purist.

[William Bloode]

50. Thats how i think of it.

Speaking of Arpaio not far from here we had his major counter part. Sheriff john Hagee, Good god was this guy a wing nut! 300 roadblocks a month in a county with 25,000 residents. He's the original "paint the jails pink" guy. He really thought he was Bueford T Pusser. Gladly though he was busted for corruption by the SBI. Maybe you'll get lucky with Joe A.

I think he's the same. I think he is a repug because of the area in which we live.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

55. Unfortunately Rootin' Tootin' Joe isn't up for reelection

Maybe next time. He's getting a bit long in the tooth, I think he's pushing 70 so hopefully he'll hang up his badge and spurs soon.

[William Bloode]

77. Good luck.

Dude does come off as a whcko on television. Humiliation and hardship do not help criminals. If his plan had have worked he would not need all those tent cities anymore.

[AlCzervik]

44. i was going to for city council race until the local paper listed who gave him

$$$, he claims he wants to stop the "Out of control growth" here, his contributors tell another story, all home builders and developers.

[William Bloode]

54. Yeah that'll do it.

Good luck with your choice.

[TlalocW]

48. I voted republican once

It was against JC Watts dad in Oklahoma. Even though he had said something like, "A Black man voting for a republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders," Watts' dad was a little nutty, wasn't going to move to where he needed to to be able to handle the office efficiently, and I figured there had to be something wrong with him if he raised JC Watts into the "man" he is today.

TlalocW

[William Bloode]

57. Lol! Interesting logic.

I like it, it made me chuckle. lol! if he raised J.C. to be the man he is today.....classic.:headbang:

[stop the bleeding]

52. already voted - DEM straight across the board

except for one - I figured it might throw the machine off - it was for a low office

[William Bloode]

59. Well it seems many of us may have voted other side for one spot or so lower down.

So we ain't alone. Good luck in your state and district!

[stop the bleeding]

70. it's Florida - Pasco county

this area of Florida puts the red in redneck(s)

assholes, all of them are assholes

[William Bloode]

76. Been in that area, i know what ya mean.

N.C. man myself, we are some better than Florida overall, but my district is really red.

I used to live in Fla (Melbourne-Coco beach)like that town ok, but that was 20yrs ago.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

53. No, but I will.

If Abraham Lincoln makes a comeback.

[William Bloode]

61. Got me there.

Good one, and might i add Teddy Roosevelt. We could use a bit of his anti big business stance right now.

[RedStateShame]

58. Thinking of voting for a Republican coroner

just because, in all truth, I'd vote for anyone who not only wants that job, but would want to run for that job.

[William Bloode]

63. Thats might only be bad if Scarborough sets up office in your area.

Joe likes to use right wing coroners.

[Bouncy Ball]

60. No. But for the first time ever, there was a Dem

on my ballot I refused to vote for. So I just didn't vote in that race. She's crazy and shouldn't have won the primary.

[William Bloode]

64. Good for you.

you vote with your mind and heart, not party affiliation. Though i admit voting repuke hurts me when i do.

[cynatnite]

62. I voted for my hometown Repub sheriff twice...

He was a really good man who did a wonderful job. He cared very much about the people in our town and went above and beyond. This was a small town and almost Mayberry-like. He would let two town drunks sleep in the jail cells when their wives wouldn't let them come home. He kept a food cupboard in his closet when the poorer families were running low.

But he was a hardass, too. He was buy the book on most broken laws.

He had most everyone's respect and the day he retired was rough. The largest funeral ever in that town was his. He was one of the few Republicans who ever had all of my respect.

[William Bloode]

65. Sounds like my guy.

He told me, he said "Dan, i know yer sick, i know you grow a little dope. I don't really mind, but if i ever catch you selling it i'll bury your ass under the jail". So i make sure to listen.

[cynatnite]

72. Sam was about the same way...

He told me that if he caught me doing donuts in the grocery store parking lot again he'd impound my mom's car and he would stand watch to make sure I didn't try to talk my way out of it. Never did it again.

He was a 6'5" stocky guy who looked like he could push down a wall with his pinky. Tough guy, but the biggest heart of gold you'd ever find. Too bad there weren't more guys like these.

[William Bloode]

86. Yeah theres something to be sad for tough but fair. N/T.

[mentalsolstice]

67. It Sux to Not be Able To Just Make That One Check

I wish I could just check off straight Dem. However, the repub for circuit court judge for our family court is a friend. We worked on some domestic violence issues with him when he was an attorney. He gave very freely of his time. His Dem opposition doesn't have a very good track record on DV issues (imho). So I'm going to have to stand there for 15 friggin minutes checking off each race....aarrgghhh!

[William Bloode]

88. Interesting dilemma.

Hope your choice works well for you.

[UTUSN]

69. Nope. Nup. Nip. Not me. n/t

[William Bloode]

89. Good for you.

Though i would say you did not have a choice to make like i did.

[Jack Rabbit]

74. In California, county sheriff is a non-partisan office

So, even if the Sheriff is a registered Republican, you may not know it and it isn't considered important.

I think a general takeover of the reins of government by Democrats in general and progressive Democrats in particular is important; at the level of a county sheriff, the most important thing is that the office holder does his job well. The Republic may fall if Republicans scam their way into control of the House and Senate again and continue to rubber stamp police-state legislation for the commandeer-in-theif, but not if a competent county sheriff who happens to be a Republican is re-elected.

Vote your conscience.

[William Bloode]

90. I concur.

My sentiments almost to the tee.

[Marie26]

75. One Republican judge

Only because his opponent was nuts.

[William Bloode]

91. Same here.

His opponent despite being Dem was a real nut-case.

[porphyrian]

78. There's only one I'd consider...

There's a county commissioner who's a republican that seems like a decent guy except for his party affiliation. I especially like him because that asshole grippa doesn't like him. I don't think I'm in his district though, so I don't suppose it matters.

[Ignacio Upton]

79. I don't plan to in this election

Although I might have voted for the Republican candidate in the Syracuse Mayoral election last year, but I wasn't registered to vote up here yet. Honestly, the current Democratic Mayor is a boob. I went to a Mayoral debate last year and he came across as one of those stereotypical generic politicians in how he walked and talked. In contrast, while I didn't like the GOP candidate's party label, she sounded reasonable on some of the local issues. One complaint against her from the left was that she was in the pocket of a developer that wants to build this project called Destiny USA, but the incumbent caved in to the developer after getting re-elected. I can't remember the details of the promise he broke, however.


This year I plan on voting all Democrat, but I'm abstaining from two races: Attorney General and Comptroller. I hate Andrew Cuomo, and while I hate Jeanine Pirro more, he is leading by enough so that my vote doesn't count. I'm not sure if there is a third party candidate on the ballot, since New York's major third parties are just sattelite parties for the major parties (ie. Working Families Party endorsing Democrats and Conservative Party endorsing Republicans...the Indepedence Party is endorsing Pirro in this race, but they swing both ways in terms of endorsements.) I also won't give Hevesi my vote because of his ethics bullshit. I think he will still win, since Callaghan seems to be a no-name.

[William Bloode]

92. Yeah i can see what your saying.

Sometimes the big D ain't the way to go, and sometimes you just have to abstain.

[seabeyond]

81. i thought about one for judge. my hubby really heard good things

about her, but i didnt. in the end, i wont be voting any repug for coming elections.... as pay back for their horrible behavior. i am too pissed

[William Bloode]

94. I am not so pissed i am gonna cut my own throat.

I can't blame him for others behavior, he's been good to me. Why risk 20yrs for a grudge?

[seabeyond]

98. i wasnt talking baout your situation, i was amswering if i voted for

any repugs

[William Bloode]

103. Sorry if i came off cranky.

It was getting close to nappy time for me, too many meds.......sorry!

[seabeyond]

108. not a problem n/t

[Blue-Jay]

82. For county judge about ten years ago.

The Dem candidate was a real asshole who hit on my then-girlfriend when his wife went to the restroom at a political fund-raising soirée. Then he had the nerve to get all indignant when I approached him about it. He ended up winning anyhow, but with no help from me.

[William Bloode]

93. Oh no jealousy!

I like it. lol!

[tammywammy]

83. There are quite a few races

where it's only a republican or libertarian running, so yes I'll be voting in some races for someone other than a democrat.

[William Bloode]

95. You have to do what you think is right.

No other way. Good or bad it is you decision, and you should make up your own mind.

[tammywammy]

96. You're right

and sometimes it does boil down to the lesser of two evils.

[shanti]

84. not a chance

i've voted straight dem for the last 30 years, and i'm not about to change that now!

[William Bloode]

97. Yes thats fine, but would you cut your own throat to be partisan?

Thats what i face. Lemme relate a story of this man.

Several years ago we had an incident where an older black man was shot and killed by a young over zealous city cop. This old man was known by everyone, and he walked back and forth from his house to the hunting store often. Many ties he carried a rifle, as trade or to be cleaned, what have you. No one ever had any problems before from him, and he was well liked. The new young guy sees him toting a rifle. The young police stopped him and shot him, because when he asked the old man to stop he took his rifle off his shoulder in an effort to hear a bit better(everyone knew he was hard of hearing. He was shot 6 times! The city police tried to cover, but the Sheriff put the screws to him, and anyone he could to see that this did not go unchecked. He did all he could to make sure the cop was punished and eventually had to face manslaughter charges. I can respect a man who took such a risk going against the grain for a poor old black man(remember this is the South).

[GreenPartyVoter]

99. Not this year. Snowe no longer gets my vote.

[William Bloode]

115. Follow your head i say. nt

[Cleetus]

101. NEVER (I would rather screw Katherine Harris.) eom

[William Bloode]

116. I would rather screw Katherine Harris than do 20yrs though.

My situation calls for the 1 puke vote.

[EvangelOphileBlican]

104. Maybe he's a RINO. n/t

[William Bloode]

117. I have kinda figured that.

I have already posted i think he says he's a repug due to our area being a sea of red.

[KharmaTrain]

106. My Fun Was Voting In Their Primaries

For many years I lived in very red areas where the general election was nothing more than a coronation. The real election were in the primaries. For many years the Democratic party was so pathetic they were lucky to have someone on the general election ballot yet have a primary challenge, so the Repugnican primary was the election. Locally I'd vote for the candidate was the lesser of the evil, then up-ticket I'd vote for the most obnoxious wingnut.

These days the primaries are late in the season and by the time our turn rolls around the national candidates are pretty much determined so it can be fun to take a Repugnican ballot and create some havoc. In recent elections those primaries have become mud fights between the "moderates" and the far right. Heck if I can help them get the most un-electable candidate in March, it's the least I can do for the team.

[William Bloode]

119. Now that sounds like a fun situation. nt.

[tinfoil tiaras]

107. Well, for SOS next year we'll be defenently voting puke

I'll explain. The current SOS is a hard-right fundie democrat (DINO, respectfully...he's really fundie, like radically anti-choice and anti-gay...not a normal dem). And my family hates him (my mom used to work with him and he was an ass to her so...), so voting puke would be a slap in the face to him...

[William Bloode]

122. The LIEberman type i take it. nt.

[tinfoil tiaras]

147. no, he's even more far right than LIEberman

the only thing democrat about him is the (D) behind his name :eyes:

109. We got a State Representative

...that I vote for no matter what. He is a good man who helped me when no one else would. A man that actually calls constituents. A man that actually listens to voters from either party. A fair and decent human being who just happens to be a Republican.

[William Bloode]

123. About like my guy.

He's the same.

[Mr_Spock]

110. I'll never vote for a Republican again

I have an issue with way too many of these folks going along with this evil empire. I can't forgive that. Ever.

[William Bloode]

125. I can't forgive a Dem that would lock a sick man up for 20yrs.

Not very compassionate in my book, nor progressive.

[Mr_Spock]

130. I guess there are some skumbag Dems

Maybe I'd look to a libertarian in that case :D

[William Bloode]

134. Yeah this guy is really a whacko.

He's actually trying to run as "harder" than the other guy. Almost assured me too my face he would have me prosecuted for sure. Hahaha! I actually told him "get fucked" to his face!

I better leave town if he wins. :scared:

[Maestro]

111. No

There are no good repukes in Texas.

[William Bloode]

126. I'll have to admit the ones i've seen come from there i might agree.

Texas is a wonderful place with great food, music, and people but the government there is screwed. I got to where i would go around Texas rather than pass through it anymore.

[HeeBGBz]

112. No, but I'd vote for yours

Wish I had some seeds.

[William Bloode]

127. Thanks,

And ummmm you may have a message ;)

[KamaAina]

113. Uh, a few million diehard repukes?

Oh, you mean anyone here. Well, our Dem candidate for governor does suck, but no way am I voting for the incumbent who has, like, slumber parties with Karen Hughes when she's out here. Maybe there's a Green or something...

[William Bloode]

129. Think on it hard, i'm sure you'll make the right choice. N/T

[Jamastiene]

114. Nope, not voting for any pubs, but I vote we get you a wheelbarrow...

to carry those big things around. You must get tired with a pair like that. :evilgrin:


This one is definitely going to be interesting.
:popcorn:

[William Bloode]

131. Amazingly it's been good.

I thought i would get flamed into hell. What i did get was my hottest thread ever, yet it very civil so far. I am very pleased.

Thanks for stopping by. Maybe someone will eviscerate me soon. :scared:

[Jamastiene]

138. Hey, 99.9% ain't bad, depending on the type

of Republican. There are some who I would be tempted to vote for at times, just not where I live. Where I live, the Republicans are bad bad bad. The Democrats are mostly ok, but you still have to look out for DINO's here. So, depending on where you live and what they Republicans are like in your area, you might can get by with it and get a decent politician. Down here though, I wouldn't trust any Republican as far as I could throw them. They'd just as soon cut my throat as look at me. :scared:

[William Bloode]

141. I know the feeling.

The whole moral majority thing kills me. Most of my life is immoral to these people, and most would like to see people like me locked away for good. I know they have tried it, missed a life sentence by >-this-< much. Mostly on moral bullshit, more or less set me up to take me out. LOL! My lawyer was better than theirs though, thank the gods!

Good luck in your state and district, may it turn pure blue just for you.

[lonestarnot]

124. Nope! Fucking NEVER!

[William Bloode]

132. Ah, but i bet you would if it meant voting Dem would cost you everything.

Unique situation here. Why vote to get my throat cut? I'm well known here, and so is what i do. This guy lets me pass because he has a load of compassion and caring. I don't see the same from the Dem.

[DawgHouse]

128. No, straight dem here.

[William Bloode]

133. Good for you.

I really wish i could say the same. It's just one of those odd times when the repuke is the more progressive choice. Now that an oxymoronic statement i tell ya! Lol! I almost don't believe myself.

[DawgHouse]

136. well, just hold your nose when you vote!

:)

[William Bloode]

137. Yeah i will.

Ya know, even though i like the man it will hurt like hell pulling for a pug. I will just have visions of Dubya, Rummy, Condi, and the whole crew. I know part of me is going to feel traitorous.

[Jamastiene]

142. ...and cross your fingers.

:rofl:

[B Calm]

139. STRAIGHT TICKET, no votes here for any cheap labor cons!!!

[Zambero]

140. I voted early for the GOP county coroner

For one, he was unopposed. Ordinarily I would simply not vote, but since he's the coroner there isn't a whole lot of harm he could do, except possibly to his dead constituents.

[mmonk]

143. No.

After the last six years, I can assure you that I will not vote for anyone with an R beside their name as long as I breathe air.

[lies and propaganda]

145. i will nver, ever do that again.

just leaving it blank is better then knowing you voted McCain for the rest of your life.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

146. Never have, never will n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

148. I actually considered picking an R on some piddly local race, just to make it

less likely that my DIEBOLD vote would get tossed... but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Straight ticket D.

[deacon]

149. Staight Dem ticket for me- no other considerations this time around

No way, no how. I printed out the CA. Dem recommendations and voted for whatever they wanted. Every candidate and every prop.

[KayLaw]

150. My husband.

He votes for one particular Republican every year, but I voted for that candidates opponent.

[sweetheart]

151. I puked the other day..

..it was sort of a repuke, too many beers, whisky and chips,
a sort of republican colour it was, all slimy and grotesque.

I was happy when it was over, swearing never to drink like a
repuke or vote for one either. I'm sure the alcoholics the
world over think of republicans while their puking, think
of georgeDubbleYouBush, double the trouble, a mad evening of
spinning rooms, blackouts, killings and tequila lasting these
long 6 years... thank you repukes.
