Anonymous It's somewhat irrelevant as to whether it is or isn't, the point is that if it were, it would please him.

But sure, the entire US is a Christian stronghold.

El Blanco California is a Christian stronghold?

A Muslim stronghold is worse than a Christian stronghold how?

Ronnie Raygun Sorry. But you didn't say you agreed until after I made those statements.

Ok, let me clarify myself. I agree that the cross over voting and the re-districting (especially in Barr's case) hurt them. But NATIONALLY, it was viewed as two zealots being replaced in a time where we as a post-9/11 nation needed "calm words."

I found this to be ridiculous, but my point was that Barr, being very outspoken, SEEMED more extreme, although in reality, he wasn't.

I was working the polls and it was funny to see all the democrats voting Republican.

And Barr didn't lose because of his mouth.....you should know this since you wrote a paper on it.......Barr lost because the state dems changed the districts to make two Conservatives run against each other. Linder pretty much got to keep his entire district and Barr lost most of his.

KevinTheOmnivore I had to cover McKinney and Barr's primary losses for a campaigns & elections class I took last semester.

RONNIE, maybe you could answer this for me. People tried to simply peg both their losses on "extremism," but I disagree. In looking at the guy who beat Barr, his platform seemed JUST as conservative. I think Barr's mouth is what makes him seem more "extreme," much like McKinney. What say you?


On another note, Election Day should be a paid, government holiday. There's no reason we should have off on Veterans Day, a day supposedly set up to honor those who defended our republic, and then NOT have off on election day, a day where we are decided as citizens the FUTURE of our republic.

Oh, and ElBlanco, I find myself in such disagreement with you that I am actually AGREEING with Abcdxxxx. Cut it out.

Ronnie Raygun "Bob Barr managed to exist in Georgia" - Kevin

He's soon to be elected by the 6th district. The same district the Bush was vistiting today.

He used to be my congressman in the 7th. And he always won 80% of the vote in my county.

I was hoping he'd run for senate but he's just not moderate enough for that.

Carnivore It's not so much the the American people are too dumb to choose their leaders, it's that they're lied to and misled. Only Ronnie Raygun would've voted for GW if he said, "I'm going to make the rich more rich, finish my daddy's war, and fuck with civil right."

roonTing A full day is more than enough to show up and vote. People who are "stopped at rural road blocks" are, generally, Conservatives anyway. If you are smart enough to go vote, good for you. If not, oh well. If you aren't smart enough to read the directions, that sucks for you. Don't cry about it, read the directions the next time.

El Blanco You'll watch and like it!
Feb 19th, 2003 09:42 PM
sadie you two really should get yourselves a private room.
Feb 19th, 2003 09:23 PM
El Blanco I'm a moron? Then how come I was proven right?
Feb 19th, 2003 09:12 PM
Abcdxxxx Well I would recap two years of reporting on the subject of various voting issues, but you seem to think the right to vote is some survival of the fittest intelligence test or something. Moron.

All votes that are properly and timely filled out are counted. What more can you ask for?

Like? Sources?

Like I always say, when Alexander Hamilton thought the average person was too dumb to pick the president, he was on to something.

No worries....

I have the solution to voter apathy problems that will restore this nation to the democratic principles it's so long aspired to.

In the Summer of 2004, Fox will begin airing a new series entitled "American President". Each week the overly dramatized contestants will pose as viable candidates, and will engage in various tests of knowledge and ability. These tests will include reciting passages from the Constitution while "God Bless America" plays in the background, a homemade "patriotic" swim suit contest, and a single elimination sword fighting tournament.

Each week America will vote via the internet and crafty 1-900 numbers to eliminate the risk of miscounted votes, hanging chads, etc. The candidates will be narrowed down each week until the grand finally during the first week of November during which the final two candidates will battle it out in a winner take all Greco Roman wrestling match.

The winner will be determined by popular vote (again via the internet/1-900 number method). At the end of the two hour show, the new American president will be announced by Carson Daly during a special "Election Episode" of TRL.

AChimp The cold just puts these funny thoughts into our heads. Of course, we never listen to them, either, since they're so crazy.

Psssshhhh

You silly Canadians and you're crazy ideas about fairness and common sense. Jeez.
Feb 18th, 2003 11:33 PM
AChimp Why do they hold elections for a couple hours on ONE day? When you've got 300 million people to go through, shouldn't the actual voting be stretched out for a couple days to give more people a chance?
Feb 18th, 2003 11:27 PM
Abcdxxxx Hey Blanco - I'm not talking about Democrat votes you dumb fuck... or any votes in specific...I'm just saying ALL votes should be counted. ALL. Not because it would always change the outcome of an election, but because it's our right to have our vote count. Also, it wasn't just wasted uncounted ballots I'm talking about... I'm talking about poor rural areas where roadblocks prevented people from getting to the polls, and other weirdness that went on.

roonTing Does Donahue make anyone else laugh? I thought tonights was interesting. How he won't let the pro-war gurus speak, and what not. I don't know, everyone on that show is closed minded. But they all preach the same thing. War isn't always needed, know what things are about, and always remember that if you hate war you are a DIRTY FUCKING TERRORIST BITCH, YOU UN-AMERICAN BASTARD! FUCKING COMMIE! GET THE FUCK OUT WHORE! I love you too.
