Title: Just Get Out the Vote!
Post by: angus on October 22, 2008, 12:36:19 AM
I've seen some crazy stuff on this forum, but I would think on a forum such as this, most of us would definitely be supporting Obama for President.  Vote your your conscience, just vote!  It's that important!

I'm voting for McKinney, she possesses both sass and brass.

If your conscience tells you to vote for someone other than Obama, borrow my conscience for a couple weeks and vote for Obama.

Tom.

I'm bothered by the fact that anyone would start a thread by saying someone told you that you had to vote a certain way.  Vote your your conscience, just vote!  It's that important!

I told my eldest sister that she had to vote for Obama (well, I begged and pleaded, so she agreed to do it just for me).  I have no regrets.

I'm absolutely horrified of the details loaded into the "Help America Vote Act." (both of the architects of this bill are currently serving prison time.)

We need a 3rd and 4th quarter Jordan-era Chicago Bulls blowout. Get every older pre-registered voter you know to send these crooks home with a bloody lip.

Hands that built America, Dave ... Or so Gangs of New York would have us believe.

I'm thinking of selling my vote on ebay so some crazy oilman can pay me thousands of dollars just to get one more McCain vote cast in Weird-O-Wood.*






*Then still voting for Obama anyway

That's not your conscience, it's your beard.

EDIT:  Turns out I was wrong.  What I meant to say is, your conscience is a trick.  It don't exist though you may think it does, and if you think it does you had better vote for Bob Barr's moustache.

Gotcha. I did that for a long time on this board before I actually posted anything on it.

Did anyone else thoroughly enjoy The Barack and Michelle Obama Variety Half-hour on SNL this weekend?

"Guys, I'm standing right here!" ~ Pres. Bill Clinton.

I enjoyed it mildly. It was okay. I think SNL is having trouble finding ways to mock Barack. Which is fine! I'll be perfectly happy to have a president with a lack of make-funnable qualities.

The standout for me is Jason Sudekis as smilin' Joe Biden. His cheesiness cracks me up.

Agreed.  I don't think they're really looking for ways to mock Barack though.  I think they all want him to win, material be damned.

Just as long as Armesan doesn't work any Jello-era Cosby into his Obama impression.

I was thinking of asking Tom if he could ask Bill Hader to work a little more ... Ah, forget it.

Fido, you only get one vote. Luckily, I live in OH and my vote counts for a lot more than most of the country.

Biden would be there for the hoots though.  I've really grown to like the guy, but I can definitely laugh at him without resenting him (at least so far).

If I live in New York do I still have to vote? My legs are tired.

Either way, I am voting Todd's French-Bull-Dog-in-a-track-suit cutest avatar ever.

You still have to vote Pete. Even if 60% of New Yorkers vote for Obama, that's a significant fact. And lots will still be made of the popular vote, however irrelevant it is to the outcome of the election.

Plus we have to set an example for folks in less-enlighted, backwater-ish non-elite swing states where people are not as wise as we are.
Title: Re: Just Get Out the Vote!
Post by: <<<<< on October 30, 2008, 11:28:19 PM
You still have congressional and state races you can vote for Pete.
