I’ll qualify the subject line of this post adding the Trey Parker\/Matt Stone rule. If somehow you’re too brain dead to have actually researched the candidates, stay the fuck home.<\/p>\n
I’ll be interested to see how the Technorati: Votes page<\/a> turns out by the end of the day. I oppose Bush<\/a> and, tentatively, I support Kerry<\/a> even though I ultimately decided to vote Libertarian this year. I had to defend my self this morning to a co-worker. I’m once again reasoning the same way I did in 2000. I really am not happy with either candidate in the presidential election. While I’m also not thrilled with Michael Badnarik, it’s certain that he won’t win and keeping my vote from Kerry won’t affect the electoral votes for Texas. Those votes are going to Bush. My Libertarian vote is a protest to both the two-party-system and the electoral college. The Libertarians generally have a reputation for being a little too out there for most people and I totally agree. However, I think some of the more moderate viewpoints are legitimate. What I really need is a party that mixes the Libertarians and Democrats.<\/p>\n I voted Libertarian in a few of the local races, but generally went for the Democrats. I withheld my vote from the elections with only one choice. Can anyone explain to me what the point is of including a race with a single choice on the ballot? This always annoys the crap out of me. Do they do this in other states?<\/p>\n My polling place was slightly more crowded than usual, but not too bad. I can’t possibly fathom how you could be, but If you’re registered, are on the fence and need a nudge one way or the other, read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh yeah and this<\/a> is just marvelous. I’m hoping there’s some Chicken Little disease going on over there, but I guess you can’t be too safe. Is anyone in charge of the machines actually going to listen to them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ll qualify the subject line of this post adding the Trey Parker\/Matt Stone rule.
