I mock-voted in my Government class; does that count?![]()
Not that I could anyway, this filthy resource-stealing immigrant will have to wait a few years before being pasteurized into a proper citizen.
I voted yes, or rather sent in an absentee ballot a few days ago.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Yes i did and it was my first time voting. (First time i've been eligible as well mind you)
We're not here for a long time, so lets have a good time!

I voted- mainly against incumbents.

Yup. In the senate race, it looks like my vote was for naught.
Ah well. I just hope I-933 passes, the death tax gets the boot, that stupid renewable energy act doesn't pass, and Owens gets the big kick to the back of the pants. (note: these are state elections)

To bad it was Hutchinson running again in my area. Couldn't bring myself to vote against her, if it would of been Sessions I would voted for the democrat.Originally Posted by Xiahou
It looks like "Kinky" won't be the next governor of Texas
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
I had high hopes for Kinky.
I voted. Good ol' reliable paper ballots.
Oh, I didn't vote Democrat- heavens no. When the incumbent is a Republican and no 3rd party candidate was available, I'd do a write-in. The only Republican encumbent I chose was Santorum- he and Casey were similar in many ways, but Santorum was a known quantity. I didn't trust Casey to put his stated beliefs above party politics.Originally Posted by Redleg
The only Democrat I could see myself being able to vote for in the future will be Casey- assuming he sticks to his stated positions instead of following the party line.

I voted, but I can't say it was an enjoyable task. The Santorum/Casey race was the worst. It was like choosing between puking and diarrhea. I voted for Casey (=not incumbent) but I wasn't very happy about it.![]()

I always vote against the incumbent judges. Always. I think its funny.
Baby Quit Your Cryin' Put Your Clown Britches On!!!
Voted after work yesterday. Looks like we're keeping The Terminator (Repub) as Governor, Di-Fi (Demo) as Senator & Bilbray (Repub) as Rep (in other words, we kept the incumbents). And we kicked to the curb the proposed additional $2.60 per-pack ciggie tax.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Of course I voted! In fact I voted with my Grandma and my friend. My parents voted later in the day and my grandpa voted when the polls opened.
As my grandpa said, "Vote early and vote often!"
Edit: And my Senate and Gubernatorial votes went the way I thought and the way I wanted. No more DeWine, No Taft lackey!
In Pace Requiescat.
Looks like my vote actually counts for a lot this year. Allen....Webb.... Party lawyers, let's get ready to ruuuuuumble!!!

Hopefully I won't be harrassed on the Diag anymore...
I am pleased to say the New Hamphsire passed Ballot initiative 1 yesterday. In it, they explicitly forbid the state or municipalities from seizing land for private property. Not that it will hold up to a challenge, mind you, the Supreme Court has already said that local governments DO have that power, and they are the highest authority, higher than the Consitution even. But, it's the thought that counts. Good to see the people are on the right track w/ property rights.

There were quite a few Eminent Domain ballot initiatives, weren't there?
They're all pointless. Even if you ammended the US Constititution, the Supreme Court has final say on what the Constitution actually says. But like I said, it's the thought that counts.
The one place these initiatives DO help is in dispelling any power hungry, land grabbing city council that thinks they can sieze property without paying a political price. I think every last member of the New London city council (of Kelo v New London) got voted out yesterday, but that's word of mouth, I haven't confirmed it yet....

Aah! Just the man I wanted to see. Pindar, is there any legal protection, even ammending the constitution, that the people can take to lessen the authority of Kelo v. New London, or does the court have to overturn it themselves and nothing else will do?

I'm to Young to Vote, another 3 1/2 years till I hit 18 :-( :(
Pittsburgh PA guy for me,FYI :) :), Was Happy Santourim and Hart Lost, would have been better if Rendell lost to..
Couldn't agree more. Blame the screwed up Republican machine in PA for thinking the voters would elect a celebrity (Swann) over an experienced politician (Scranton).Originally Posted by {BHC}KingWarman888
