Why did you think it was important to come out and vote?
Asked at Asked at Central United Methodist Church, 1501 Massachusetts St. on November 6, 2012
“ I guess I’ve been raised with the quote, ‘You can’t complain about anything unless you vote’.”
“I’m just voting because I feel like if I didn’t vote, I’d be supporting the candidate I didn’t want to win.”
“In my government class my senior year, I learned how important voting was for the country. Unfortunately not enough people do it, but I thought I’d come in and put in my two cents.”
“ This is my first time voting. I didn’t want to be one of the ones that don’t vote. I know that I’ve done something. ”

I think he leans towards humans and not sheep as intimate partners. I could be wrong though.

BABBOY watches Fox News? Damn! I watched 5 minutes of it last night, more than I've watched in the last 4 years. They was getting all red faced and yelling at each other. Too immature for my blood.

We were watching off and on Fox last night. It was a riot! Palin was must-see TV comedy.

milk and cookies? Damn, I always end up at the wrong election party . . .
Mostly they were serving sour grapes where I went . . .

As Americans, it is all our duty to vote...
Syndrome of a Willard....scared the ever living crap out of me and that is why I voted. There are many, many, many, many,many foolish people (Mericans) who will shoot themselves in the foot to prove an idiotic point, no thanks, not for me!!!

I can't vote again until I'm off paper but I went to the polls for the eye candy and hick hair.

@M_L - I already had a re-alignment & they checked the universal when it was up on the rack. They are closed on the dates mentioned. Izzat what you mean by 'blackout?'

The damn tire shop sold me a set of tires with free rotation for the lifetime of the tires. First time I went in for rotation they refused unless I paid for a realignment first. Took the car elsewhere for the realignment, they said it wasn't far enough out to mess with.
That there tire company gets their name on the wall with "never again" wrote in big letters next to it. Damn near took a whole crayon.

Damn it, BoB! I clicked on your link and it jammed me up in the middle of downloading illegal Bob Dylan bootlegs. Actually my hard drive is probably clogged up with porn again but I try to blame my problems on other people as much as possible. Anyway I don't need to see Greta to know that she's been chasing parked cars again.

Good point g_rock. Come to think of it, even if Mitt won, a Democrat would still be in charge when the world ends. I'll have a shot of that bourbon if you don't mind.

The democratic process doesn't work correctly if citizens don't vote.
