By the way.....
Where's Osama??
At first he denied he "did 9/11"
Then he praised the people who did it..
Now he shows up in a video and claims it as his doing.
Flip flopper!!!!
He's been watching too much American politics.

I have an ethical problem with early voting for the very reason that is stated in an earlier post! What is the voter dies? I do NOT think these votes should count and it sounds to me as if many will in many states who allowed early voting!
Isn't there an Election Day for a reason??? :confused:
I think it should count. It would be different if she voted months early or something, but this is just days. Ugh, how sad :(Quote:

SHOULD DEAD PEOPLE GET TO VOTE:
I saw on Yahoo news yesterday about an elderly lady who legally voted early but has since passed on. Now there is a debate as to whether her vote or any vote cast by someone who dies before the election, will count!
Personally, I think it should. She was alive when she voted, it was a legal vote and no fraud was intended.
Any opinions on this? ;)
Thank you Logan....that is exactly how I feel.Quote:

As far as the woman's vote counting...she voted before she died...it should count....just my opinion.
I guess you misunderstood me, Molly, because I don't think her vote should count. Shoot, the whole thing is so confusing isn't it? I want people, like our soldiers who are in other countries, and people, like me, who have jobs that take them away from their local polling places on election day, to have their votes count, but I have trouble understanding why states have chosen to open early for those who just want to do it for convenience as many have done, and to count the vote of someone who wasn't even alive on Election Day just seems wrong to me.
Cops: Democrat drove car at Katherine Harris
SARASOTA, Fla. -- A man who told police he was ''exercising my political expression'' was arrested Wednesday on charges he nearly ran down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris and a group of her supporters with his car.
Witnesses told police a silver Cadillac sped through an intersection and hurtled onto a sidewalk, heading straight toward Harris before swerving at the last minute and driving off.
The Republican congresswoman told police she froze with fear as the vehicle sped toward her Tuesday evening, authorities said.
Witnesses gave the car's license plate number to police, who tracked it to Barry M. Seltzer, 46, a registered Democrat.
''I intimidated them with my car,'' he was quoted as telling police. ''I was exercising my political expression.''
He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The charge carries up to 30 years in prison.
As Florida secretary of state during the 2000 presidential election, Harris was vilified by Democrats for overseeing the recount that gave the presidency to George W. Bush by 537 votes. AP

LOLOL
The Democrats I know exercise their political freedom with their cars too!
They purchase the vanity/enviromental license plates with the whales swimming in the background, have a support our troops ribbon, next to the Kerry/Edwards '04 and No Blood for Oil stickers on their SUVs bumper.......
Did I mention that they pay 60 dollars to fill their gas tanks??:confused:
Logan...I've been thinking about this all day. I have voted already as I did an absentee ballot. Convenience? I suppose so. But what if a member of the armed forces votes absentee and then is killed in action? Should that person's vote count? Do we want to hold up an election to determine cause of death? I agree with you in questioning the early voting. I seem to have lost the reasoning on that one but I think the question still remains whether death between the time of casting your ballot and...??? when it is counted? When the polls open officially?? Election day??
So I don't think it is an easy question nor does it have a simple answer.
It took me 45 seconds to get from my car to the polling place
I waited a grand total of 30 seconds to vote. Sign in and get a ballot.
It took me 3 minutes to vote and another 45 to get back to the car.
5 minutes.
Why are people waiting 6 hours in some places?
:confused:
I took me 2 hours to vote this morning. In at 7am, finished up at 9am. I guess just everyone and their brother in my precinct decided to vote this morning.
It was about the same for me too. Polls opened at 7 but I didn't get there until 7:30. Got to a voting booth about 9 a.m. :)Quote:

I got in line to vote at 6:00 am this morning. I waited in line for 30 minutes to get my ballot, took 5 minutes to cast my ballot and was home by 6:45 am.
The total trip for me to vote (drive there, vote, drive home) probably took about 15-20 minutes. Feel great about my vote and am excited to watch and wait for results.
got to my polling place at 7, i was #173, i waited 1 hour and 20 minutes to vote, i left at 8:25. considering that the polls here in columbus ohio open at 6:30, that's an amazing number of people . idle thought #1, since it was a school site, why doesn't the pta run a bake-coffee sale, i'd have bought both while i stood in line chatting with neighbors. second idle thought, there were more people waiting then i'd seen since the 1992 election, wonder how the numbers will be for this HOT HOT HOT campaign. i'm joyce and i approved this message.
I thought that GWB was going to produce Osama right before the election....
WHAT HAPPENED???:eek: :eek:
And I was trying to figure out what the D and R next to the candidates names meant...
R - Right!
D- Don't do it!
:confused:
I did my civic duty and voted too!
By the way, who were those other people on the ballot? I've heard of Ralph Nader but there was and Independent pair I've never heard of. Why bother to put their names on if no one knows who they are? Maybe they hope they will get votes from people who don't want any of the others? :confused:
Scott and I arrived at our polling place (a church about 5 minutes from here) at 8:20 am. We finally walked up to the voting machine at 9 am. Overall, it wasn't too bad. They had 8 machines set up and there were a lot of people there to vote. They say that the turnout has been excellent today, even though we had rain this morning. Ever wonder why someone would choose not to vote just because it is raining?? :rolleyes:
No actually it stands for:Quote:

Hmmm... funny. I'm an "R" and I'm pretty much polar opposite of "radical." :rolleyes: ;) :D :p
Where is the campus of the Electoral College at?:confused:
Me and my hubby voted at 11:20 this morning.
Only stood in line for about 15 minutes.
Stood in line for about 10 . . .
Showed ID & signed in . . .
Stood in line for another 5 or so . . .
Cast my vote!
Then we went & watched TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE!!!
Great movie!
At some point (I think it was in this thread), I said that the governor of SC usually overrides the law that requires liquor stores to close on Election Day. I was wrong. Liquor Stores are closed today! (I only looked when I was riding by ;) )
The electoral college campus SHOULD be in the middle of the marshes surrounding D.C., either that or in a wastewater treatment plant. Frankly, both candidates should be put on Academic probation.
I genuinely wish there was a third block on the ballot for "none of the above". If none of the above wins, the whole slate of candidates should get thrown out and give them 30 days to re run the election, with no candidate on the current ballot eligible.
Bill 'n Opus for President!

How's about feeding them beer and beans, locking them in a room and the last person in gets to be the prez???
Kinda like Fear Factor???!!!???
:eek: :rolleyes: ;) :D
That would be great! Or at least I wish we could have like 15 candidates, but I guess that could get messy.Quote:

With 15 candidates you'd have to use a runoff format, and the electoral college (Which works fine in its intended manner) would get messy.
