1. I'm excited that you are going to vote tomorrow, too

Along with a bunch of other people. It's going to be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Will we have a clear front runner? Or will things be closer than ever?

6. i would never start a thread saying I'm not going to vote

but I'm not. Voting machines that don't record the vote. Lying media heads.

Capitalist crap.

I'm tired of it.

Good luck to you.

8. i think part of the capitalist machine wants people to not believe or care in their government

then its easier for them to walk all over us

this is why i read the news and why i vote.

7. because

voting machines record votes that were not cast.

because the mass media is a joke and creates the people at the end who we are forced to vote for/against.

because I refuse to any more take part in lies and fairy tales.

9. My wife became a citizen in 1995 so she could vote for Bill Clinton.

Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 11:29 AM by Deep13

She told him that at a fundraiser for future Ohio governor Ted Strickland in 2006.

25. I like being able to walk or ride my bike to the polls....

it feels more like a community that way... And as I hear, there's a ton of stuff on the local ballot.

15. I'm not, I just can't vote for either candidate in the Dem primary...

I might show up and vote for Kucinich anyways, or I might cross over and vote "spoiler" for one of the Repuke candidates, the advantage of living in an open primary state, but not the two top candidates.

I appreciate the hug, and I'm happy that you get to participate in the primary and vote for President.

22. Does NY

still have the big lever machines? I LOVED voting on those.

When you pull that big lever and hear the KERCHUNK and the curtain opens - you KNOW you've voted.

32. Truer words have never been spoken

GD:p is making me sick.
All the hatred.
Clinton and Obama are both good people but if you hang out there you'd think they were both Genghis Khan or Vlad the Impaler.To much childishness going on.
