The right to vote is something every American has as well as my right NOT TO VOTE if I choose not to..Isn't it far much better for me NOT to vote than to vote for someone just because i'm suppose to vote? I haven't had the time to keep up with the who's who in politics so I did not vote..I did vote in the last election so...

New Jersey is the most corrupt state in the country.  


Really? I could have sworn it was a neck and neck race between Louisiana and Rhode Island.


Nope, New Jersey.

I voted and gave blood today.  Very good girl...  [:)]


Good? I think that makes you a super-hero.


Thank you, justheather.  My small people told me that I'm cool.  (I so rock now that I have the elementary school posse backing me, lol.)

Just a little food for thought here.  For those of you who have never lived outside of this country, this continent, or this hemisphere, you will never understand just how fortunate you are to live in a place where voting is a right.  I briefly lived in a third world country where even the severely infirmed would travel for miles just to get to a polling place.  Most of the time, those people traveled by bullock carts on very rugged roads.  This trip and back was physically painful for them, but they did it, as it was their right and opportunity to have a voice in their government.  If anyone were to say that they did not vote because of unpleasant weather or apathetic mood, they would be stunned.

We have the opportunity to directly impact how our government is run, and how our lives are affected as a result of the choices this country's citizens make.  There have been millions of people who have given their lives to ensure that we are able to have the rights and freedoms that we enjoy now.  To toss aside like a used tissue, one of the most coveted (by other nations of the world) rights that we enjoy as citizens of this country is just irresponsible and disappointing to me. 

As far as corruption in a governmental capacity or election goes, try living in a situation where your political affiliation or your vote gets you or your family harrassed or killed.  That is true corruption, and it is very real in the lives of millions of people who would never be so cavalier about the opportunity U.S. citizens had today. 

(missed a word, oops...  now it's there)  carry on...

I agree.  It's New Jersey.
As much as I love it here, I hate it here.

Yes, sacrificing the 10 minutes a day it takes to pay attention to what's going on in the world would really cut into your Collarme time, and we can't have that.

i registered to vote twice in my life, and the two candidates i planned on voting for dropped out of the race before election day...from that point on i vowed never again.



Would it be improper to ask if they were caught in some kind of gay scandal?

Curiously,

Damn!!!

You should post a warning before posting something like this...
I started choking on the food I was eating at the time I read this, LOL!
Good thing I was drinking liquid, it would have been all over the monitor, LOL!!!  [:D]

P.S.  Edited to add, yes, I did vote, it was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY packed at the voting place too!  Whoa... big time!

I voted. I feel pretty positive that even my little single vote makes a difference in that even if what I feel isn't what happens.. at least my preference was stated and the people on the other side who possibly won at least have to deal with the fact that there was one more person who didn't agree with their thoughts and perhaps this will be incorporated in future plans.

This isn't supposed to be a bash other users thread.. so I won't visit responses to some of the things said here.. but man. Whenever I look at the flag.. or hear the national anthem.. I think about the number of sacrifices that so many people have made. I'm not one that sits at the side and bemoans the fact that I am not given everything on a silver plate. I work hard, and because of the democratic way.. I am able to move upwards and improve my lot in life. All of that was made possible because of the sacrifices others have made and continue to make through public service. Sure .. corruption exists. In everything. It's not just politicians.. or lawyers.. there are corrupt X. If you are going to sit back and not contribute to make things better.. it's not going to ever get better for you.

"And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today."

I have found that those who harass others about being gay....usually are themselves[;)] soo many people living in denial....get off Michael's back and deal with your own "issues"....That is America you voted for, the right to be what you wanna be, right? Hey, I voted in the school elections, does that make me a hero now? lol...

... stop whining and exit the discussion.


Dear MG,

He'll never do that because obviously he didn't follow the directions of the thread.  "Have you voted today?After you have please check in here."  It said nothing about checking in and bragging about not voting when you are too apathetic to even drag yourself out to the polls or become a well-informed citizen. 



Marc2b -> RE: Have you voted today?After you have please check in here. (11/7/2006 8:46:18 PM)

Yup.  I voted. 



RazorJAK -> RE: Have you voted today?After you have please check in here. (11/7/2006 8:47:26 PM)


I voted prior to going to work. 
The ballot jammed in the machine.
I had noticed it was a DIEBOLD machine earlier.
So without even thinking I blurted out:

"I must not have voted republican enough."

For purposes of random pondering, I wonder if it could change if a man surgically became a woman, because if not, that "new woman" would definitely be gay.  [8|]

I'm well informed enough to know that all politicians are corrupt...[;)] If there was someone worthy of my vote I would have been there...But, I guess I should have just closed my eyes and voted for anyone..then I'd be a typical American citizen lol



SissySean -> RE: Have you voted today?After you have please check in here. (11/7/2006 8:49:19 PM)

Please don't call yourself an American

I am just stunned.  I really hope you are just talking out of your fingertips.  This isn't funny - not even a little bit.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: Have you voted today?After you have please check in here. (11/7/2006 8:51:40 PM)

I was born in American therefor i'm an American....It must be America where someone with the name "Sissy" can exist[;)]
