...so who's voting...? And YES, I know a bunch of you aren't in America and can't... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm voting. I was out of my precinct four years ago and missed out. And look what happened. I leave this country alone for a day to take care of some personal business...
I imagine I will. Although the last time I did, which was also the first time, Florida didn't know if it was coming or going, and from my understanding they still don't.
I re-registered when I renewed my driver's license. I should just send in for an absentee ballot in case I'm out of town again.
WE NEED TO GET THIS JACKASS OUT OF OFFICE.
You know if Gdub wins this year, you know who you get in '08, right...? Jeb, baby!
Eh...I'll listen to him and I've been listening to Kerry...I'll vote where I see fit, as I did in the last two...
Being someone who isn't locked into one party or another can be fun...I've got a lot of die-hard republicans at work with me...they cheer me whenever I mention I DID vote Bush in '00...but then I remind them I voted Clinton in '96...oh HOW they squirm!
Jeb's got to protect the dynasty, doesn't he?
I need to get my act together and send in my registration. *sigh*
Oh yes, I'm registered, been registered, and have voted in all the recent local elections, too. Too bad I'm stuck in f***ing Texas.
I'm voting... and I am independent.
And I'm getting sick of all this politics of hate. Just as Kerry is a patriot so is Bush, and the president main job is to protect the country and it's citizens. It's a big job. And when i hear of Whoopi denigrating the office, it makes me even more inclined to vote for Bush. Kerry's being smart though, he trying to step away from all that.
And did you all watch the democrat convention? He talked up a good game and that's just what makes it so hard with these politicians...
Then again, maybe I'll just vote Libertarian. I wonder who's running for them this year...

I don't like Bush, and never have.
But the Dem's are scaring me.
Mind you, I wasn't scared when it was pointed out that Kerry looked an awful lot like the Smiler. It was when he picked Edwards as his running mate. Cause Edwards looks a HELL of a lot like Josh Freeh (the cloned running mate) that I started to worry.
If this post makes no sense to you, then you haven't been reading Transmetropolitan, and shame on you.
Well, the dem's are scaring me for a whole other reason... See I've been kind of a newshound since pretty much 9/11, around there so I've been trying to pay attention. (Hell, I've read the 9/11 Commision report this past weekend and that was a HEAVY read, and I do mean HEAVY...) But I recall back in the spring, shortly after the dems decided that Kerry is their man and the gas prices were starting to skyrocket. We have some oils in the oil reserves and Kerry said something to effect of "Bush give us those oils now" nevermind that it would probably bump it down two cents or so. But what if the terrorists hit the OPEC gas countries and we got no gas because we let the oils out of the oil reserve, or best scenario, just come up short?
Another instant was recently, (and this lead me to read the 9/11 Commision Report) was when the talks was about the Commision recommendations. Kerry came out and said that if he is the Prez he'd sign all of the reccomendations in right away. I thought why? Then when I read the book, I saw and felt that most of the recommendations, I don't think I would want them see signed into law by executive order because most of them is not fleshed out and doesn't have the feel of being completely thought out throughly. One I would agree should be signed into by executive order is the issue of the incoming administration and the outgoing administration, talking over of what to expect from the Oval Office, Issues in foreign relations, yada, yada, yada, that I would say, "I'm executive ordering that." Most of the rest though, I would feel a lot better if it was thrown out to the congressman and the senators, and let them hash it out, and see what their thoughts are.
So Kerry lost two points there with me.
Just my .02 cents...

I've actually been undecided this year, for the first time. I have a history of voting Democrat, even in 2000, and I wasn't thrilled with Gore. Also, I'd wished my first time voting Republican (if ever) could've been for John McCain. If I can in this district, I may do my first write-in vote, but I'm still not sure (and, if I'd registered in 1980, I was going to bypass "throwing away a vote" for no-chance John Anderson, and vote, unhappily, for Carter to keep Reagan out).
Irony is, in the pre 9/11 days, when 2004 possibilities were being thrown around, I was really hoping John Kerry would get the nod, my respecting his anti-Vietnam war stance more than those that didn't see that first-hand (still do). But I'm not pleased whenever he seems to be placating the Dean wing of his party, and get annoyed at Bush when he tries to stop gay marriage (for a straight guy not looking for marriage anytime soon, I've been passionate about the issue). And I'm still not sure if a write-in is a wasted vote.
I just refuse to not vote in presidential elections.
