Thought of the day (election day eve)

[sheepshead]

A quote from one of my favorite registered republicans:


I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.


Martin Luther King, Jr.


Think about it.

[packinpatland]

I am.
Personally, I've always measured a man(or woman) not by color, but on character.

[HowardRoark]

Good. I am glad you will then be voting for McCain.

[packinpatland]

Actually...........I was thinking of his 'character'... when he slept around with women and left his wife........and later married one of those women.

So you're basing your vote on marital fidelity. Have you always done so?

[packinpatland]

I think it says alot about the man (or woman). And I didn't vote for Clinton.....either time.

Judges laying blame in divorce cases effectively ended decades ago. There's always 2 sides to those stories. With a few exceptions its a 50-50 deal with lawyers making all the money. McCain getting divorced and remarried, no matter what we hear about it, is pretty far down the list in how this guy has lived his life and served his country.

I'm not basing my vote on fidelity or the lack of. But I would be inclined to lean toward someone who takes a vow seriously.

like vowing to use public election funding?

I'm not basing my vote on fidelity or the lack of. But I would be inclined to lean toward someone who takes a vow seriously.

"I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

I just returned from voting. Only 55 min. wait.
With the voting turnout all across America, the excitement, the interest from folks who for years have said they didn't care........this really is an historic day.
I'd like to echo Michelle Obama's words........I'm more proud of the USA today, than I have been in awhile.

I heard Tom Brokaw say this morning......this election may well put an end to apathy........let's hope so.

[falco]

You voted for Dole? Perot? :shock:

[SkinBasket]

Saw a sign out on a lawn this morning. "STOP KILLING OUR TROOPS" Under that it said "Vote Pro Life." The crazies are out today.

[mraynrand]

my precinct was less crowded than the midterms, and I voted at the same time of day - no wait. The line in 2004 was 80 people deep and I waited 20 minutes. McCain was listed fifth on the ballot after Obama, the constitution party, an independent and Bob Barr.

OH NO! people won't even be able to vote for him now! :lol:

good thing all the lazy people vote democratic, otherwise they'd give up before they got to mccain - right partial

[sheepshead]

2 people in front of me, i was in and out in minutes. lots of looks at my John McCain shirt, but i live in a pretty red county.

[Bossman641]

I had about a 40 min wait this morning before work. Could have been worse.

[Freak Out]

We are all Americans. Well...not Tarlam.

You sure you dont want to take the Michelle ODrama quote back?

That one's a little harsh.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Voter turnout bottomed out in 1996 (when Clinton was re-elected), and it went up considerably each of the last two elections. Voter turnout in the last election was its highest since 1968, so I'm not sure I understand the voter apathy angle.

[MJZiggy]

I went after work and let my kid go to a friend's house so he wouldn't have to wait in line with me. Then I went to the polls and was the only one besides the election workers and a guy already at a machine. It took less than 5 minutes. Now the line at Ben & Jerrys...

Even Laura Bush defended her and said she probably meant to say 'more proud'.
No, I don't want to take it back.

[oregonpackfan]

In Oregon, we have had vote by mail for 10 years now.

The local news, however, showed lines of people lined up at polling places. They were not there to drop off their ballots. They were there to clear up change of address issues, etc. and get their ballots printed out for them to vote.

These voters literally had weeks to take care of these logistical issues but waited until election day to take care of it! Yes, the procrastinators came out in full force. :roll:

[MJZiggy]

The election will be decided long before they ever make it to the polls anyway...
