Bright and freakin' early...

:here:

:clap: gotcha both.

:clap: gotcha both. check yours. :lol:

check yours. :lol: :lol: :thx2: :dthumb:

I voted yesterday... I went to pull out my voters reg card and realized I still haven't got mine. I remember my bro and wife got theirs when we moved to this town but I didn't... So I went to the township hall to ask about it... and to see if I could get a absent tee for the wife who has to work nearly all day... and they said I can't get her one but I can get one... "Like no way" So I got mine yesterday, filled it out there and was like cool. No lines! I REPT you already it!

I voted and I got a cool little sticker to prove it! :cheers:

I will also rep everyone who has voted as the system allows me!

I will also rep everyone who has voted as the system allows me! Thanks for giving me motivation to do track days. :lol:

Gotta do it on the way home from work. :dthumb:

I will also rep everyone who has voted as the system allows me! I got you but then I ran out of reps!! :damn:

On my way now so rep me biotch!

On my way now so rep me biotch! I'm sure you mean biotch in the "you're my friend way" right?!?!?!?

i've hit my limit for today, but i am making a list of all that i missed. i'll hit y'all up tomorrow as soon as i can...so stay tuned. :dthumb:

Hell yes. Just got back. And not for that joker Lynn Swann either. Football players don't make good governors.

Good thing I didn't wh0re my reps today. I got everyone in this thread so far. Neebs...dont make a mockery of my reps. You better vote on the way home. And don't vote for football players if you have any running like we do in PA.

Hell yes. Just got back. And not for that joker Lynn Swann either. Football players don't make good governors. No but they make good senators!

:dthumb: i voted sent my absentee ballet out yesterday:cheers:

And don't vote for football players if you have any running like we do in PA. and while you are at it, don't vote for any republicans either. :leaving:

and while you are at it, don't vote for any republicans either. :leaving: I voted for 1. Todd Platts. He's a good guy. Locally I think it doesn't come down to Republican or Democrat. It's about issues and what they stand for at the local level. Nationally...F the republicans. Vote to get our soldiers home.

No but they make good senators! Sometimes. From what I could tell, without living there, Ventura made a decent governor in Minn. He gets it. You dont make a life out of it. You do your public service and get out. Swann is just wacky. And for the record. Rick Santorum is the biggest quack on the face of the planet.

and while you are at it, don't vote for any republicans either. :leaving: :tt: :tt: I voted for the best person regardless of their party affiliation.

:tt: :tt: I voted for the best person regardless of their party affiliation. rarely is the best person a republican. :lol: ...just teasing.

I voted for 1. Todd Platts. He's a good guy. Locally I think it doesn't come down to Republican or Democrat. It's about issues and what they stand for at the local level. Nationally...F the republicans. Vote to get our soldiers home. :iagree: i didn't take any chances, straight democratic ticket here.

:tt: :tt: I voted for the best person regardless of their party affiliation. rarely is the best person a republican. :lol: just teasing. :iagree: w/ zedheadia but itgirl is right.

I'm sure you mean biotch in the "you're my friend way" right?!?!?!? Is there any other way......:cheers:

:skep: I'm out.... this is gonna get fugly. :leaving:

:here: :thx2:

Still waiting for the limiter to go out of effect so i can get the rest of ya'll responsible citizens

Still waiting for the limiter to go out of effect so i can get the rest of ya'll responsible citizens :withstupi tomorrow for sure. :dthumb:

voted for my first time today.

:idk: Its all about voting for the lesser of hte two evils....but yes I took part.

double reps for everyone if the dems win control of one of the houses of congress. bureocratic gridlock = forced moderation by everyone. granted not much gets done but what does get done is usually not too extreme and therefore more likely to be representative of "average" or what the American people really do want.

I am republican, what are you going to do about it? Oh yeah this is what you are going to do: :cry: http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~fanf2/hermes/doc/talks/2004-02-ukuug/crybaby.png

I am republican, what are you going to do about it? Oh yeah this is what you are going to do: :cry: Nah, i'm not crying. If the Dems were in control I'd be hoping that the Republicans would get enough seats to create gridlock. I think the government is most representative of the people when neither party has complete control. Even if I were a Democrat I don't think I'd be crying based on how things are going down tonight....:idk: I'm not a party-line voter. I vote based on issues and individuals. Therefore, I could never catagorize myself as a Republican or Democrat. Libertarian is closer but I'd say I'm an Independent that doesn't waste his vote (i.e. I vote for republicans or democrats for important things)

I voted...so everyone rep me...:cheers: :dthumb:

I am hoping the republicans barely lose majority myself, we need a wake up call. They have gotten away from why I vote republican. They are not doing enough in the economic realm of politics where I care most about it, I couldn't give a sh*t about social hot button issues like gay marriage, abortion, and evolution. Iraq is Iraq, we are there. We can't leave now because we screwed the place up, we owe it to them to fix it. How? I don't know. I am not that smart. Apparently, neither is anyone in politics because none of them have a plan.

ok not trying to get too far away from the topic... but I am seeing many problems on the news with states having a contraversy about the new electronic balloting machines... I live in a smaller town and i don't know about you all but myentire town votes at the high school gym... there are 4 districts and all the people that have voulenteered to work the election stations are all 60-99 year old women that have nothing better to do with their time.. this is great that they want to help but most of the workers didn't have the right to vote when they were younger..or they voted for Lincoln... so my basic point is my grandmother couldn't get the VCR to stop blinking 12:00 how the hell is she going to operate or set up a sophisticated new electronic voting system...

Nah, i'm not crying. If the Dems were in control I'd be hoping that the Republicans would get enough seats to create gridlock. I think the government is most representative of the people when neither party has complete control.

Your Grand Rapids man didn't do so well against the Canuk chick!

voted for my first time today. Congrats on your first election...My first election was an "off year" election too...my first Presidential Election was Jimmy Carter...

and while you are at it, don't vote for any republicans either. :leaving: Very dangerous line of thought there... I voted for 1. Todd Platts. He's a good guy. Locally I think it doesn't come down to Republican or Democrat. It's about issues and what they stand for at the local level. Nationally...F the republicans. Vote to get our soldiers home. Isn't that what it should be on all levels? :iagree: i didn't take any chances, straight democratic ticket here. Don't take any chances? Blindly voting for someone based on the little R or D next to their name? That's taking an enormous chance... :iagree: w/ zedheadia but itgirl is right. Danger! Danger! Partisan politics is one of the worst possible things for this country... The fact that people go out and vote on a party, not a policy, disturbs me greatly... Forget what matters... voting records, experience, agendas... I'm voting for this guy because of the letter next to his name... I say create accountability, accuracy, and legitimacy in campaign advertisements (unlike the current sensationalistic crap we get)... then... abolish the party system... Force people to vote on *gasp!* the actual issues... Nah, i'm not crying. If the Dems were in control I'd be hoping that the Republicans would get enough seats to create gridlock. I think the government is most representative of the people when neither party has complete control. Even if I were a Democrat I don't think I'd be crying based on how things are going down tonight....:idk: I'm not a party-line voter. I vote based on issues and individuals. Therefore, I could never catagorize myself as a Republican or Democrat. Libertarian is closer but I'd say I'm an Independent that doesn't waste his vote (i.e. I vote for republicans or democrats for important things) A lot of this statement is so true it's scary... However, I don't think voting independent is a wasted vote... The more people who vote independent, the more likely that 'non'-party will gain credibility and force Reps/Dems to get more inline with what the majority of Americans think... Right now, both parties are so focused on the farthest leaning factions of their particular group that they forget about the regular folks who are closer to the middle... People voting based on the D and the R next to the candidate help perpetuate it... The parties actually think we really want these people in control... Then guys who are close to the center (ie. Leiberman/McCain) get left out because they don't personify exactly what the party leaders think we want... Long story short... If you aren't 100% sure on who to vote for BASED ON THE ISSUES vote independent... It's better than blindly voting... I am hoping the republicans barely lose majority myself, we need a wake up call. They have gotten away from why I vote republican. They are not doing enough in the economic realm of politics where I care most about it, I couldn't give a sh*t about social hot button issues like gay marriage, abortion, and evolution. Iraq is Iraq, we are there. We can't leave now because we screwed the place up, we owe it to them to fix it. How? I don't know. I am not that smart. Apparently, neither is anyone in politics because none of them have a plan. Frickin' beautiful man... Brought a tear to my eye... Couldn't have said it better myself...

I don't understand why I got neg reps for this? Does someone on TWF actually hate America and Freedom? True I got an opinion but last time I checked it's not even that extreme. :wtf: I don't even care about the reps, I just would not have expected it about this! Well whoever you are, I want you to know that I'm just glad we live in a country where I can have my opinion about politics and you can give me neg reps cuz you disagree! God Bless America :pat: (also, just for the record, it's more fun to debate these things out here in the open :2cents: )

The only vote I casted was that Xbox 360 is bad ass.

OSP...I'm with you. My thoughts are this. At the National level, these hacks are more about their party than they are about getting things done. That being said...I vote on issues. I think everyone is the government is a ******* liar and doesn't represent their constituants. But I gotta do my part to get some of the bums outta there. Locally...I think the guys care more about the people. They have more at stake I think.

Locally...I think the guys care more about the people. They have more at stake I think. They're using their current local jobs as a stepping stone. Not all, but some. They have to be more about the people to get noticed.

They're using their current local jobs as a stepping stone. Not all, but some. They have to be more about the people to get noticed. I'm sure they are. But as long as that gets something done I can get with it.

I'm sure they are. But as long as that gets something done I can get with it. Yeah, the locals will benefit from his acts to get him noticed and more popular. Win-win really.

Yeah, the locals will benefit from his acts to get him noticed and more popular. Win-win really. Right and when that guy moves up...some young up-and-comer will do the same thing.

Voted by mail long ago:dthumb:

God Bless America :pat: (also, just for the record, it's more fun to debate these things out here in the open :2cents: ) I got neg repped for a thread I wrote months ago yesterday. Actually it was probably for my democrat picture thing. Who cares reps mean nothing...

I love the people that are big enough to neg rep but not big enough to sign it. Tough guys.

I got neg repped for a thread I wrote months ago yesterday. Actually it was probably for my democrat picture thing. Who cares reps mean nothing... No reps for you!

i got about half of you repped before i got locked out again. i will get everyone. i want to thank everyone who took interest in the direction of our country and got out and voted, regardless of what party you are affiliated with. voting is the best way to make any kind of difference and make your voice heard. also...:woo: big D took the house!!

Don't take any chances? Blindly voting for someone based on the little R or D next to their name? That's taking an enormous chance... i didn't blindly vote though. i didn't want to take any chances by voting for any republican and having the white house spin it's wheels for another 2 years. that's why i went the straight D ticket. i knew what i was doing. i want to force washington to change it's policies so i voted for every democrat to insure that happens. i had my own agenda.

I hope you gave yourself "infraction points" when you used your mod position to bypass the filter and post this... This is exactly why I am against the "points system"

*******...see, no filter there. i have no special powers.

*******...see, no filter there. i have no special powers. :iagree: No filter. NIce try.

:iagree: No filter. NIce try. You're a moderator.....You make a post like that on this "family forum" and because a filter doesn't **** it out makes it OK?? You smell

:idk: r u u tryin' to start trouble, bee? if you don't like it here, why not :leaving:. no sense in creating a mutiny, is there? there is corruption everywhere. just my :2cents:.

You're a moderator.....You make a post like that on this "family forum" and because a filter doesn't **** it out makes it OK?? You smell Sorry you're right Mr. Bumblebee. Sorry I offended you.:skep:

all in favor of making bee a moderator, say 'aye'. that'll even things out. then he can play favoritism too.

So you voted for people who may be absolutely insane, just to see a change? Voting any party soley because you want change is dangerous... That's how maniacs on the extreme ends of their party get elected... Again... very dangerous...

I don't play favorites. If you are going to have standards, enforce them. Itgirl...simple question, do you want someone using those words around your children? Do you want your children to use those words? Standards

I don't play favorites. If you are going to have standards, enforce them. Itgirl...simple question, do you want someone using those words around your children? Do you want your children to use those words? Standards no to both questions. however, whether i want them to or not they will be exposed to that stuff anyhow. and i also don't see any 7 year olds posting on here...it's mostly adults and the language used here is that of adults.

So you voted for people who may be absolutely insane, just to see a change? Voting any party soley because you want change is dangerous... That's how maniacs on the extreme ends of their party get elected... Again... very dangerous... i didn't see anyone insane or maniacal on my ballot. i think you are being dramatic. we are losing focus here. the important point is that we both voted, regardless of what party it was for. i guess we'll wait and see if i made the wrong decision, but i can't help but believe that it can't get any worse than the last 4 years have been.

I don't play favorites. If you are going to have standards, enforce them. Itgirl...simple question, do you want someone using those words around your children? Do you want your children to use those words? Standards Bee, I was at the mall the other day, some guy on a cell phone was saying "F this and F that". in fornt of my 9yo son. I didnt like it but I can't shelter my son from that kind of language forever. He is 9, he knows what is proper language and what is not proper. Aside from several recent pics in this forum, I would be happy to let my son read all of the posts on TWF.

no to both questions. however, whether i want them to or not they will be exposed to that stuff anyhow. and i also don't see any 7 year olds posting on here...it's mostly adults and the language used here is that of adults. So then...lets drop this "family forum" stuff and say this is an adult forum and use adult language and actions. When you say/post something stupid and get flamed for it, just like you will in the adult world, don't go running to a mod and cry about how offended you are. I guess my point here is, I keep seeing people talk about how we should act in here the same way we would in front of our parents or children. And then, a person of authority uses language we all agree we don't want our children to hear or use, but it's OK and no big deal...but it is...it is inappropriate for the forum we say we have. So someone tell me...we can can violate one of the 10 commandments and that is not considered inappropriate or "a big deal" But posting breasts is...Now which number commandment was the one about that? :scratch:

i agree with you to a point, bee. if we all just show some class here there should be no problems. as long as there is no full-on nudity or blatantly obscene language there should be no trouble. someone will always get offended about something. it's happened to me, but i've since grown up a bit over it. we are adults and should be able to express ourselves accordingly as long as we don't cross the line. we all know where that line is, i don't think we need stringent rules to point that out. i haven't really seen that much controversy here. are you getting unjustly punished for something?

i didn't see anyone insane or maniacal on my ballot. i think you are being dramatic. we are losing focus here. the important point is that we both voted, regardless of what party it was for. i guess we'll wait and see if i made the wrong decision, but i can't help but believe that it can't get any worse than the last 4 years have been. So if things don't change the next election you will vote 100% republican? That's dangerous! I want change too... That's why I voted for a mixed bag of candidates that follow my beliefs/values as closely as possible... Now I admit that I have no idea about the who/what/why of the Pennsylvanian candidates... All Dems might be the way to go... :idk: What I am saying is that voting for a party is not the best way to use your vote... And I am not being dramatic... Case in point... Hilary Clinton... She's a media darling and may run for President in '08... After reviewing her voting record the possibility of her as president scares the living hell out of me... She's a socialist... To get her vote it seems like all you need to do is say, "this is a spending bill" or "this increases taxes/doesn't alleviate tax burdon" and she votes for it... The people of NY are notoriously dems, but I refuse to believe they want spending to be out of control and they don't want tax relief... HRC frightens me... people love her... and aren't paying attention...http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/****/onesickpsycho/suicide2.gif

if she runs, she has my vote. i made a decision yesterday i am confident with. i made my decision according to my beliefs. i won't continue to defend my stance to you. my vote is mine and yours is yours. you aren't wrong and neither am i. our votes reflect our own personal opinions, and you can't argue someone's opinion. thank you for your point of view though. i will take it under consideration next election. :dthumb:

Clinton '08 = more government spending and higher taxes... Her voting record proves it... If you review her voting record and still feel that way... then maybe you can help me pay my bills... Who knows... a Dem might get my vote in '08, unless that Dem is HRC... And you are correct, you cannot argue someone's opinion... However you can argue how someone comes to those sort of beliefs...

OSP...you are very intelligent and well-informed, i am slightly taken aback by it. i do promise to weigh the issues more intently before i vote in the presidential election. i will make an informed decision. :dthumb:

HRC frightens me... people love her... and aren't paying attention...http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/****/onesickpsycho/suicide2.gif It's funny, because while she's a media darling, I honestly don't know one person who likes her, or claims they'd ever vote for her. :idk:

OSP...you are very intelligent and well-informed, i am slightly taken aback by it. i do promise to weigh the issues more intently before i vote in the presidential election. i will make an informed decision. :dthumb: All I want is for EVERYONE to take a hard look at each candidate to make the most well-informed choices possible... If you still end up voting for only one party... GREAT! Odds are though that you will find one party's candidates don't coincide directly with your beliefs... Understand too that I didn't come to this lightly... My first voting experience was horribly wasted... For the next election someone much wiser than me sat me down and had a conversation about the real meat of what people stood for, their records, and all the things that really matter... And low and behold... I realized the decision I was about to make was horribly wrong... It confused me greatly and because all of this happened days before the election... I ended up not voting... Now I get my ducks in a row as much as possible and ignore the little letters next to the name... There are still times in which I don't feel as if I know enough to make the best decision, so as mentioned earlier... I vote independent... Then I am at least working towards my greatest agenda... ridding this country of partisan politics...

It's funny, because while she's a media darling, I honestly don't know one person who likes her, or claims they'd ever vote for her. :idk: I haven't checked, but from the last thing I have heard she was well in the lead this campaign... I'll sever my left thumb if she loses...:willy:

Forgot to sign my rep... You'll see it though... ( o Y o ) Gotcha back :wink:

i think i got y'all repped that voted. anyone i missed, please let me know. i'll hit ya when i get the chance again. i'm dry for now. :dthumb:

Hey I don't know what all "went down" but I will tell you this... Thanks to Itgirl for creating a great democratic thread and for everybody that did vote! Beyond that... http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/Posting/another_thread_down_in_flames.jpg
