I am voting for X. But if Y wins the election... - Page 2

Clodfobble · 09-26-2008, 06:05 PM

[should-be-shameful admission but I don't really care]I expect I'm not going to vote, because there ain't no way in hell Texas is ever going to be a blue state, and I don't have the energy to drag a hyperactive toddler to a polling location for some paltry act of symbolism. [/shameful]

But if McCain wins... I'll be a little disappointed, but I'm not going to be too terribly worried about it in the long run.

Absentee ballots are convenient.

I just learned that I'm allowed to vote absentee (in advance on a machine in city hall) here in Arlington because I'll be out of the state a mile away in D.C. for most of the day. Just like every other day I go to work. They count the votes on that machine on election night. The wait on election day is about an hour, so I may just do that.

I really can't get behind either one of these knuckleheads, so... barring any significant developments...

I am voting for Heads. But if Tails wins the election, I will remain open-minded, optimistic, and will wait patiently to see what comes of his leadership of the country. I will also continue to write to and email the scum sucking mother fucking whores who represent me in Washington, and keep them apprised of my lack of support for most if not all of the great ideas these jackasses constantly come up with.

Based on the proposed Washington subsidy for stupidity, criminality, and incompetence, I'm no longer open-minded or optimistic. The GOP should be punished and if they are not, I'll be disappointed.

What she said.

I do, however support one over the other. I am aware of my candidates flaws, and accept the fact that no other human being will agree with me %100. Like most of the Cellar, I did not vote for the current occupant of the White House and have spent 8 years saying "Don't look at me, I didn't vote for that idiot". The prospect that my candidate might win and that I will finally take partial ownership of the resulting consequences is both exhilarating and frightening.

Both candidates appear to be more patriotic than the Bushites. In that way we'll get some improvement right out of the box. I don't think either has the stomach for what our economy needs, so we'll be rewarding malfeasance either way. At least, the reward will be better monitored than Bushes bail out the oligarchs plan. He really did recognize a brother in Putin, didn't he?

I will not be voting for anyone because I'm not allowed. If McCain gets elected my opinion of all y'all will be put to the test and if he dies and we get president palin, I may well then take citizenship, take up my right to arms and start shooting. If Obama gets elected, I will be cautiously optimistic, but i will also add him to my 2009 celebrity death pool list

I'm thinking of selling my vote on ebay, starting bid: $.01.

Griff · 09-26-2008, 09:30 PM

cool I could have two useless votes.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-26-2008, 10:28 PM

If Obama wins, I'm moving to England and rub noses with Sundae Girl.

ZenGum · 09-26-2008, 09:26 PM

I would prefer X. If Y gets in, I am moving to Z. Except that I am already in W, and Z is closer to V, so I'll stay here. Got that?

Yznhymr · 09-26-2008, 11:15 PM

I don't care who wins...rubbing noses is fun. And I betcha rubbing noses with Sundae Girl is much funner.

ZenGum · 09-27-2008, 07:19 AM

You reckon it would stop with noses though?

regular.joe · 09-27-2008, 02:48 PM

"Noses"....is that what they are calling those in England these days????
