Post your polling experiences, thoughts, results, etc.

Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

my thoughts are that elections in the u.s. are a complete and total fraud
there are 16 documented ways to hack the database on an electronic voting machine and flip the vote, plus they're closed source so a programmer working at one of these companies could insert code to give every 10th obama vote to mccain instead COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD the winner of the election will simply be the candidate with the greatest technology-savvy minions who can flip the most votes |

Went to the polling place twice today. The first time I went, I left the house at 6:50 a.m. this morning. The polling place wasn't far from our house, but we don't know the area well so we printed directions on MapQuest. Our GPS couldn't find the address at all. The directions online took us to the street, but took us to the wrong address. My husband and I were in two separate vehicles following each other around for over 20 minutes looking for the stupid polling place. We weren't the only ones either. We had a caravan of people driving in front and behind us looking for the damn building too. People were making u-turns everywhere. It was a mess. We finally found it, and the line was pretty long. I left while my husband stayed and voted. It took him an hour to get through the line. When I left, I got back to the main road and there were a number of people pulled over on the side of the road lost. I started giving people directions.
They had the voter booths facing the line at the polling place so people in line could see your votes. I personally don't care if people know who I vote for, but it was bothering quite a few people. I went back at 1:30 this afternoon, and there was no line at all. I mean, the people running the poll site were super nice, but they weren't set up well at all. They should have had signs on the main road pointing where to turn, especially since we live in such a rural area. |

Threw my mail in ballot on Friday. That legal jargon is so difficult to read. There were a ton of amendments and after I read it, I still didn't understand them. Someone also totally fucked up as well. I followed every direction on the ballot and signed the affidavit on the envelope, and today I get this letter saying that I didn’t sign the affidavit and that I need to go to the county office before the 12th and do so. Don’t really want to waste a trip down there.

The Republicans could run Alan Greenspan in '12 and win because Obama is gonna do such a shitty job that we'll be lucky to even have free elections that year. We'll probably be taken over by Vladimir Putin.
I hope I'm wrong. |

Yes, there is a possibility, and I hope I am. I was joking because Zach made yet another stupid Obama comment.
To prove it, here is something I sent my friend Athena over MySpace in response to something she wrote. QUOTE I love everyone... yes, even Obama supporters. *kidding* See... I have hope
That being said, I hope that Obama changes our country for the better. Every American should hope for that whether they voted for him or that other old guy and that hot girl. Personally, I think Bush took a lot of blame for economic policy mistakes that were not his fault. The mortgage lending practices of selling people homes they can't afford began long before he was elected into office. Yes, he brought us into a war, a war that could have been avoided all along had Clinton had not pulled us out of Desert Storm in the first place. Many call Bush a lame duck President. Instead, I call him a scape goat President. We were bound to have a massive mortgage crisis eventually. We were bound to return to Iraq eventually. All of it just so happened to happen while Bush was in office. Bush dealt with the largest scale attack on mainland American soil ever. Of course he is going to have a lot to clean up in the aftermath. The fact that our stock market didn't crash in the days following 9/11 is a miracle. Yes, the American public was mislead when we were told the reasons as to why our young men and women were being sent to war. It is my strong belief, however, that Bush was mislead as well. The fact is that Saddam Huessin was a real threat to the security of many nations. I'm not saying I am particularly fond of Bush, but I don't think of him as the evil that many people do. I strongly hope that Obama does not pull us out of Iraq, something many analysts claim is his main agenda. We have made tremendous progress there in the past 6 months. Afghanistan now has more troop deaths per month than Iraq. Now, we are on the brink of sending troops to Pakistan. Of course I don't want this. My husband is in the military in an extremely deployable unit. I have family and friends currently in Iraq and Afghanistan. I believe, though, that the situation in the Middle East is a lasting situation. I don't think we will ever be able to pull out of that area, much like Korea. I think it will become another permanent duty station like Germany. I won't even touch on his proposed economic policies such as "spreading the wealth" and "universal health care." That would take me 20 pages to retort. I respect your decision, Athena; and like I said, I hope that our country takes a turn for the better, because Lord knows we need it. I have no issue with the fact that he is black. Had Colin Powell run for President, I probably would have voted for him. I just felt like responding for fun. Take care, and I hope all is well. |

IMO, Obama in office is the ultimate test of socialism vs capitalism. I mean, I guess he could be good. Roosevelt did a lot of good with his socialistic programs... social security, the new deal program, etc. I think, though, that Roosevelt was given too much credit for bringing us out of a depression. The overriding factor of ending the Great Depression in America was World War 2. |

Which he's stated many times he fully intends on doing and with a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress he'll be able to do it fairly easily. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
