I pretty much voted all republican on the ballet. Didnt know too much about the others.

How did voting go for the rest of you all??

#290576Post 2 of 26

Went well although I pride myself as being an open minded voter; therefore I never vote down party lines. To me there's no more true form of ignorance than not being able to think for one's self. That goes for Democrats that only vote Democrat and Republicans that only vote Republican. Ah, what the hell, this is gonna become a political debate so we might as well move it to the politics forum!

Cheers to everyone who voted though. Good job!

Re: Just finished Voting!!!

It literally took me about 45 seconds to sign in and vote for another strong 4 years :wink:

I'm a registered democrat and I voted for several republican candidates.. especially Senator John McCain for another strong yada yada :RockOn: I don't know about turn-out... though there were plenty of young people there, many of them supporting obvious Kerry pins, shirts and buttons... I don't have faith in the kind of strong turn-out Kerry needs to pull off a victory, so (I'm not trying to start a flame war here lol) it'll probably be Bush. But I heard GOP lawyers were already trying to bar the results from some Pennsylvania voting machines :roll: And I thought the republicans were the ones accusing there was gonna be legal battles right after the first polls end.

Down here the turnout among young voters has been absolutely amazing. As a matter of fact black voters outpaced everyone else in early voting. I certainly am hoping for 4 strong years as well. I'm sure they'll be as strong if not stronger than the 8 we had just a short while ago if the right guy is elected!

There is something deep burried in that post, i still have my suspicions about this guy.

The turn-out was great over here.

Go Kerry!

#290618Post 10 of 26

usually, i tend to find myself on the more conservative side of issues... however this election, it was a mix up depending on the position.

:) kerry!

due to the time change getting up early to there when they opened was no problem.got there at 6:40 am polls opened at 7am actually voted at 7:20 or so....i walked out feeling good knowing whatever my decision..I VOTED!....i now have the right to bitch if the wrong guy wins....and will be proud if my guy wins.....at least i know i did my little part to make america tick!

If I could vote, I think I'd have to vote for Kerry - not cos I like him, but I think I dislike him less than I dislike Bush, lesser of two evils IMO

#290655Post 13 of 26

We voted democrat , had the sticker on our shirts proudly representing our democratic friends and the person we campaigned for to have this bitch walk up complaining saying that it wasnt right and typical of a democrat to do something like that , like we really swayed peoples opinions , to find that her friend she met up with in front of the line wearing a pro bush shirt- she didn't say anything to that whore and nor did she say anything about the bush signs w/i 100' of the entrance to the voting hall , if I'm not mistaken all campaign signs have to be posted 500' from the entrance . Anyway with all the bullshit taking place cheating and pro rating new voting machines that were suppossed to be registered at o , given the opposing party credit of 300 votes in one machine and the other a credit of 500 , makes you wonder how a loser could take pride in knowing that they were exactly that . It's all bullshit and more than likely has swayed my decision to ever participate again. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Re: Just finished Voting!!!

I like what MJ had to say ^^^^^^LOL

I didnt do the traditional vote all Republican thing. I voted for who I thought would be best for that particular office, like I think everyone should. I did not vot for Kerry however. I can begin to imagine what that guy would do to the U.S. if elected. Im scared if he wins.

But it took me only a few minutes like someone above mentioned, to get in, put down my thoughts and get out. Not too bad for making "my voice heard!!!!" "vote or die" ooooo Im scared

Eat me P. Diddy
