• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Are ya getting sick and tired of this chet!

Consider me: I'm a FREAKING POSTAL CARRIER! I have to deliver it all. Lucky I'm not in much of a battleground state. Ohio would be horrific this year. I also have no cable TV or even an antenna. Do not want. But I do hear all the commercials on the radio as I drive my route every day.

Bandaids. One of my cow-orkers would almost consider voting for the candidate that draws the least amount of blood from cuts recieved handling their mailings. Stiff, shiny cardboard with sharp edges, taller than a regular letter, they stick out the top of a handful of mail and cut your fingers, the "Y" meat between the thumb and index finger, and just in general are unnecessarily difficult to work.

The day after a Presidential election should be a Federal holiday, or at least for the USPS.
 
WooHoo, I've gone several days now without a call, seems the GOP have realised that 604 is not in the USA at last. :applause:

I love it, it's called freedom! Freedom to turn the TV or radio off, freedom to vote and the freedom to complain about it!

Bingo! The alternative would be worse... But, I do wonder, why haven't I got any of these phone calls? I guess they both think Missouri is alreay decided. Oh well.

Every 5 minutes ain't that bad. Literally every single commercial in the Green Bay marketing area is related to politics. I've heard they have spent more on commercials here than anywhere else in the whole country.

If only they'd spend the money on something useful instead... :pop4:
 
Me? I will use this tried and proven method...It Works....Not that I do not follow and get into American Politics....For it does effect me!...But this? Its about as good as all the nose counting,guessing,procrastination, Bloviating,and crystal ball gazing..... Its The REDSKIN RULE....Correct 17 of 18 times!


The Carolina Panthers beat the Redskins in Washington on Sunday, which should translate into a win for Mitt Romney on Election Day, if history is any indication.

How do we figure? It's the remarkably accurate Redskins Rule that forecasts the result of presidential elections.

Here's what the Redskins Rule means: If the Redskins win their last home game before the presidential election, then the incumbent party retains the White House. If the Redskins lose, then the incumbent party is voted out.

The Redskins Rule has been correct 17 of 18 times.
 
Unfortunately we get too much coverage of our own Political parties plus the US elections as 'value added' content!!
Of course, if one doesn't vote then one can't complain about the results.
I agree totally that the obscene amount of money poured into the campaigns is just that, obscene.
:icon_eek:
 
Political ads are bad but so are the super loud blast you out of your seat car and cell phone/computer ETC ads.
At least the political ads are soon to be wrapping up.
Thank goodness for the DVR and the few commercial free networks left.
 
I seem to recall some years ago a device was on the market that would automatically turn down the volume on your TV when regular programming paused and a commercial came on. Anyone out there heard of such an application?
 
Wow , one more night of this crap . I think the media and the US Postal are going to miss the money they have made .

Right now it's 8:40 A.M., Election Day morning. The local candidates are still running radio ads dumping on one another. And I was so naive to think these politico ads would have stopped last night at the stroke of mid-night. Maybe a law can be passed to turn a candidate into a pumpkin if his or her smear ads runs into the day of the election.......

Being carriers, we get the worst of it IMO. We see all of the bad mouthing from every political angle. I'm currently nursing 2 nasty cuts from mail just this past week. Fortunately, today is my SDO so I don't get bombarded by the last second mailings. Can't wait for all of the X-mas catalogs!
 
LOL the song playing on the radio when I pulled into town hall to vote was "Won't Get Fooled Again".

Can't beat that irony! :icon_lol:
 
Tonight is the last night of all the BS we been watching and having to listen too....yepeeeee! and hell yes I approve the message.:applause::applause:
 
I was talking to a television ad salesman the other day, and he said that all political ads have to be sold at the lowest rate (in California). So the politicians must have passed a law somewhere benefiting themselves yet again. He said he was lucky because here in Upstate California there aren't enough voters to justify the national campaign buys.
