Nov. 2, 2010 -- I Voted

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-02-2010, 10:31 AM

I just got back from the polling place.

I voted against the Democrats and their Road To Serfdom, voted for the Republicans and the Libertarians. And on a couple of referendum ("Proposition") issues, voted probusiness, for I am getting so sick to death of CA's antibusiness regulatory climate and extensive state intrusiveness into economic matters, which exacerbates unemployment in this State.

I feel very civic today.

I voted in DC, useless as that is.

An unopposed mayoral candidate, and no representation on capitol hill. Were there any bond issues or anything like that?

Somebody wants make the Attorney General an elected position. I voted against that.

Happy Monkey · 11-02-2010, 10:52 AM

I also, despite a robocall urging me to, did not write in Fenty (who lost the primary) for mayor. I don't know who would fund that robocall; it seems like purely wasted money.

Road to Serfdom? I don't think I saw that one. Was Bob Hope in it?

"I voted" is like "I gave money to charity" in the "looooook at meeeeee, I'm so good and better than you."

Even better, it's like hanging your HS grad tassle from your rear-view mirror of your Camaro, to show how accomplished you are.

Most people don't need the back pats or recognition for doing right things. Except sychophantic losers with big mouths and bigger egos.

In that case ....
I voted
on my way to work this am.
I had a real nice conversation with both the party reps that were outside handing out papers on their candidates. Then I went inside and was given a doughnut by the nice lady there.
I only had four people to vote for, so it didn't take long.
On the way out I handed the voting sheets back to the nice men (recycle and all that)
We talked a bit more and one of the candidates showed up as I was leaving.
It was nice to talk to him as well. Not sure that he liked hearing what I had to say. It was nice to let him know that should he win the obstructionist BS that his party has been responsible for over the last 2 years better not happen for another 2.
He realized I didn't vote for him and moved on. I chatted with the two reps a bit more and then left.

Glenn Beck's radio show just said, "Our goal tonight is to make George Soros cry!" Hee hee hee. Just had to put that out here.

Hayek isn't as funny as Hope & Crosby -- but you can read the Readers' Digest version of RTS online, at least.

Shawnee, Shawnee... the way I do things pretty much makes me better than you presently are. That's just how it is, as your mini-rants of the last thirty minutes' posting go to demonstrate. Learn how to spell sycophant, and unlearn sneering, for fear of lacking virtue. I have a bigger and a better ego than you do.

Perhaps Ezra Pound may sing from the grave to Obama the following:

Quote:

O CHANSONS foregoing
You were a seven days' wonder.
When you came out in the magazines
You created considerable stir in Chicago,
And now you are stale and worn out,
You're a very depleted fashion,
A hoop-skirt, a calash,
An homely, transient antiquity.
Only emotion remains.
Your emotions?
Are those of a maitre-de-cafe.

_______________
Come, my songs, let us speak of perfection --
We shall get ourselves rather disliked.

classicman · 11-02-2010, 12:01 PM

UG - stop it.

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-02-2010, 12:07 PM

No. Did I not say "nor shall my sword sleep in my hand"?

If you have become uncomfortable, step out of range.

Griff · 11-02-2010, 02:52 PM

I split my votes evenly between the two major parties...

TheMercenary · 11-02-2010, 03:01 PM

I ended up giving 1/3, 1/3, 1/3rd. Libertarian, Dem, Repub. I voted 2 weeks ago. We have had early voting here for a number of years and we all love it. Saves you from being late for work on election day from waiting in line for the fools who have to stare at the screen trying to make up their minds about poorly written amendments instead of doing the research before you show up.

Fuck cancer, and fuck glen beck. I respect him so little, I refuse to use capital letters in his name. He is smarm.
