Vote Early, Vote Often !!!

[The HalfBreed]

Here's a prelude to Nov 4, 2008 and an introduction of the next President of the United States of America !!! :nuts:

Who will you vote for ? :nuts:

 

[James48843]

Ahhh...

My ballot is a secret.

In my area, we vote by optical scan cards.

One person once told me they filled in the little ovals...

until it made the shape of Mickey Mouse.

Aaaarrrggggg....

Well, it's your vote.

HOWEVER you decide, please- remember that lots of Americans served our nation in order to give you that right.

Use it!

Did you mean for this poll to show who the voters picked?

Y not ? Judging by some comments, it's apparent.....and not surprising.

A vote not used is the only truly vote wasted. Send a real message and use the vote for a third party candidate.

Out of curiosity, here's a new question for everybody....How many 3d party candidates in YOUR state? Four here.:nuts:

Only 1 third party candidate on the ballot here....Barr.

There were 6 choices for President on your ballot?

Truly!

Five 3rd party candidates: seven (yep, count'em, seven) Presidential candidates in Utah. Republican, Democrat, Constitution, Libertarian, Green, Peace, and Socialist Parties, if I remember correctly. Still not causing the comments that were generated the year that Marilyn Chambers was on the ballot.

Oooh, I loved Marilyn. She was exceptional in "Behind The Green Door". That is also the name of a bar I used to go to in 1967 on the backside of Fort Bragg in Pinehurst, N.C.

 

[Show-me]

At least two here, Barr and Nader.

 

[Rod]

Well, I chose "I plan NOT to vote", to keep it a mystery.

I like a mystery, because I like my independence.

Actually, this election makes me wanna RALPH!

Is that a good enough clue for ya???

 

[Buster]

I don't care who you vote for....I have said this many times to some here that claimed they will not vote..because of ..

IT IS YOUR DUTY TO VOTE...
just do it!!!

 

[alevin]

YAY BUSTER!!!



Not only a duty, but a hard-won right and priviledge not available to citizens in many other countries.

VOTE! If you have use or lose you might want to take it tommorow and bring your lawn chair (especially if you are in a swing state). Remember most people who did not/can not vote absentee MUST vote either before or after work tommorow (Even if you don't like the Presidential picks, local elections matter, so that's not an excuse skip out).

I thought about voting for a third party candidate once for California Governor. Mary Carey! The way I saw it, if we were going to be screwed by the state, she was the only one with the skills, attributes, and desire to do the job correctly!:nuts:

I agree - If you choose not to vote, a vote for a 3rd party may be the better way to go instead. But I don't believe you are doing yourself, or the country, a favor by voting 3rd party just for the sake of sending a message. Ala Perot - We're back to business as usual depsite his successful campaign.

Instead, a 3rd party vote will likely just hurt the candidate you are leaning toward (i.e. voting for Nader instead of voting for a democrat, or Barr instead of a republican). Just my opinion.

Be informed...

Unfortunately, we do not have a federal constitutional right to vote in a presidential election. It is a priviledge though. One that is afforded by each individual state.

As stated by the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore (2000), "The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote." Americans deserve an affirmative right to vote protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Because there is no right to vote clearly stated in the U.S. Constitution, individual states set their own electoral policies and procedures in areas such as ballot design, polling hours, voting equipment, voter registration requirements and ex-felon voting rights. As a result, our electoral system is divided into 50 states, more than 3000 counties and approximately 13,000 voting districts, all separate and unequal.

A Christian has a duty to vote probably more than any other citizen because of the biblical principles that are out there relating to nations. The Scripture tells us, Proverbs 14:34, that "Righteousness exalts a nation”

For those who have a perspective out of the Bible, it is more incumbent on them—as a duty—to be involved to choose leaders who will enact policies that God can bless in a community, state or nation; to choose leaders that will make decisions that God can honor.

PS And Shame on you if you don't.

I never understood why that case (Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore (2000)), ever went to the Supreme Court. Amendment 15 states:

Amendment 15 - Race No Bar to Vote.
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Does that not clearly state there IS a right and it shall not be impeded? I can't believe it.:blink:
