• 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.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Seriously. Go Vote....

Get up. Go vote today. I'm sure there are other important issues that effect you locally that need your attention as well, not just the presidential race. No excuses. You do make a difference. Exercise YOUR right, today. Those that have died to defend your right to vote would look at it as a sign of appreciation. Go on, go on. The forum will still be here when you get back...

:unitedsta:




(And let's keep this a politically free post just like a polling place. We got's Odo's for that political stuff. Yes, I approve of this message. :d)
 
Voted 3 weeks ago to avoid the rush.:ernae: I'll be watching the election coverage on Fox throughout the day and evening.

i'm not in the states, and won't be for at least a year. no voting for me.

one thing i find interesting is how rabid canadians are for american politics.
it's all anyone has talked about here for the last year almost.
they had elections here and they were barely covered in the papers. what was printed was on page 2 & 3, because american election stuff was page 1, and has been since the beginning.

i have to admit though, when i hear folks talking about it in the gym, it gets on my nerves. i want to say to them "hey, what do you know about being an american?" they talk about american politics and american issues and american life, and they (the ones i am speaking of) know nothing about us first hand. some of them have never been there, i have heard them say it.
i want to tell them if they concentrated on making their own country run better maybey they wouldn't pay the government 60% of their wages in taxes. but instead, i just do another set and move on....:banghead:
 
It was only 25 minutes from poll opening to finished voting for me!

It pays to be prepared, and know which polling district line you're supposed to be in.

Maybe we should have a "I Voted" smilie for the forum?
 
I voted this am and it was fun and easy. I may go back this afternoon and do it again !!

:d


But, Dain Arns is right on. Go vote today. Too many have sacrificed for this right to be trivialized.
 
Took me about 90 minutes. Got there about 6:25am, voted at 8am. I think that's just a drop in the bucket compared to what it's going to be like this evening. Yikes. :kilroy:
 
My son in law is about 25. His attitude is, "why bother, my vote won't count anyway", he said in a email to my wife.

I emailed back and blasted him for all the above reasons. "If you don't vote, do NOT complain afterwards."

I refuse to watch any news today on tv, or tonight. Whatever happens, happens.

I'll find out tomorrow morning, unless of course there is a legal battle ensuing............

Voted this morning, took about a half hour...not bad.

My son, who turned 18 this year, didn't want to waste a few "precious" hours of his leave waiting in line to vote, but I reminded him that now he was a United States Marine and if he didn't vote he had not right to complain about how long or how many tours he was going to do Iraq/Afghanistan or any other conflict.

I kind of feel like your son NC. I voted last two elections. Ohio still isnt counted, several fraudulent things were found in voting counts. I am going to vote anyways, only because family is pusing me. I pray and hope though that if ANYONE does any CHEATING on voting, hiding votes, etc, that they are found, brought to justice and PAY for it dearly!!!

We are supposed to be the country that shows the path of Freedom! not corruption....


Sorry.. rant over. You may now throw veggies at me. I had to speak up for those that have lost a bit of faith in the system.

Drove home during lunch hour and picked up my wife and we both voted.. Total time to get ballot and vote was 5 minutes.

It took longer to drive back and forth than it did to vote.

:jump:
WE BEAT THE CROWD!!


GET OUT AND VOTE

:medals: :medals: :medals:
 
My wife and I voted this morning.....a personal tribute that I accord my dad who spent 4 years in the Pacific fighting for my freedom to do so.

It's my way of honoring him and other vets, past and present, who stand watch every single hour of every single day to keep us free!
 
My and my wife voted this morning just after lunch. Like above, 5 minutes in and out. And that's including the time it took me to get someone to show me how to do a write in on that fancy electronic voting machine.

I was wanting to vote against our Congressman who's running unopposed. So I wrote in my brother in law's name. :d
 
Well, actually voted last week --
but around here there is a long standing tradition . . .

Vote early . . .

vote often!!!
 
Well I voted 2 years ago for my gouvernment and last year I voted for the Provincial States. I even voted for the European parlement 4 years ago....
