Just curious about political affiliations. Obviously this will only apply to Americans, as they are American political parties. Okay, down south we also have Mexicans voting in our elections, but let’s limit this to US citizens, okay? :wink:

You may be able to guess how I voted,
maybe?

Kropotkin

21, and I’m fairly sure I’m not registered (which should say something about how many times I’ve voted).

I hate politics, I think both sides are ridiculous. I cringe when I hear people arguing that my vote matters…

Umm…electoral college? Faulty voting booths? PREGNANT CHADS! :laughing:

Don’t you mean: democRAT?

Next Tuesday is a pretty big day. I will have to drive 100 miles to vote, having neglected to re-register when I moved here. There are some pretty important things on the ballot this time, and I’m anxious to cast my vote.

I am a registered Libertarian, for what it’s worth. Since I didn’t include Commie, I suppose Kropotkin had to pick Democrat. :stuck_out_tongue: (Just giving you crap, Pete!).

Don’t you mean Pinko?

Actually if you must know, I’m a summer and pink
just clashes with my skin color. Just so you know. :smiley:

I’m not sure what people think of “Libertarians” or if this term means anything outside of the US. A Libertarian tends to make a lot of references to the Constitution as the law of the land. We hold that to be the supreme law, and feel that probably 85% of the laws we have now are superfluous at best and illegal at worst. We also believe fanatically in limited governement- a true, dyed-in-the-wool party man would go so far as to say 90% of the govermental agencies should be dissolved. Libertarians are broadly in favor of the decriminalization/legalization of drugs, too.

So I have no more issue with Dems than Republicans. Both of them suck, IMOHO. My main problems with Dems is the institutionalization of Big Goverment, their love of cradle-to-grave entitlements and their ongoing assault on the Bill of Rights. My main problems with Repubs is their under-the-radar expansion of goverment, their apparent desire to drag religion into the realm of legislated morals, and their ongoing assault on the Bill of Rights.

You forgot to include sociopathic dissentor, so I had to choose Independent.

My vote counts, because I use write in ballots.

Within the last hour, did you not post that you aren’t an American citizen, Mas? :-k

?

I am Sicilian by grace of God, American by default condition depravity.

I am a registered voter, and my write in ballot does count.

Do you imagine God as Sicilian? I always fancied he looked a bit like Charton Heston.

?

If I were to imagine a deity, it would be a female.

Males make crappy deities.

Charlton Heston? Oh hell no. Maybe Sean Connery, maybe.

Yeah, if we needed a Deity he’d be a good one. I have no need for gods nor goblins, myself.

BTW, how do wake up and find yourself American? I vaguely recall your reasons for staying here, but not your initial reason for being here in the first place.

Gods have no need of humanity, so that is definitely a working relationship, Phaedrus of Ether.

Gods need only gullibility, Mas. :wink:

K: Clinton balanced the budget for 3 out of the last 4 years in
office. bush has the largest increase in discretionary budget since
Roosevelt, FDR, not teddy. Bush had the largest increase in spending
since well forever. He had a huge surplus and managed to turn it
into the largest deficit in the history of the world and he did it
in under 3 years. How many veto’s does he have? one and that
is for stem cell research, not to cut the out of control budget.
He is easily the worst president in american history.
And this congress will be known as the worst congress
in american history. And in your old age you can say,
" I was there".

Kropotkin

That doesn’t make Clinton much better – Just a lot smarter. Do you know all what went on during the Lewinski thing? Talk about a great misdirection…

lol… Bush tried by fucking imploding a building. :laughing: :laughing:

I mean he’s not that smart but… Clinton is just as evil, and working for the same dudes.

I realize you don’t like Bush, but he & Clinton are just two politicians out of thousands, millions over the years. Even Clinton’s closest advisors (I was just listening to one on Minnesota Public Radio) say he wasn’t really responsible for all the good economic numbers; they readily admit much of that was laid by previous administrations. But that’s neither here nor there- you simply don’t like his policies, and while I can respect that, he did those things with plenty of sabre rattling from both parties.

You seem to have selective memory, Peter. Unless you woke, Rip-Van-Winkle-style on the morning Bush took office surely you should remember the foibles of politicians of both stripes?
