I Voted.
I made it part of the morning ground pound to stop by the polling place and vote for Mitt Romney. Sure, I know what the polls say, but I figure if you base your vote on polls, you’re no better than the politicians who base their “positions†on the polls, which unfortunately, describes the current crop of candidates to one degree or another.
Still, sitting it out is not an option for me. The right to vote, paid for in blood by generations, is more important to me than any stinking politician.
I did. And I better see that vote counted on the nightly news later.

Lucky you Jimbo. In Colorado we have to caucus. Doesn’t start untill 7:00 PM, goes on about 2 hours.
Boy, I’d love to just pop into the local poll and be done on my way to work, but this year it’s too important to leave it to others.

Amen, Jim. I stopped in at my polling place at 8:00, and was the 1st R in my book to vote. Our idiots in Trenton really screwed the pooch on this one. By separating the presidential and state primaries, they’ve virtually guaranteed a victory by the anointed candidate of the party establishment.

ah, and you’re so poetic about it too. i can’t wait to vote, but our primary isn’t until march. i keep thinking it’s pretty smug of them to want to call the election without us(Texas), Ohio, other normally scheduled primaries. nicely put. proud of you!

I was first in line this morning at six, did what I set out to do and felt damned good about it, too.
Mitt was never my first choice, but he’s the only choice now. You know how I feel about voting…

Yep but the right to vote also means that I can write in my candidtae and I don’t have to vote for any of the stinkin’ sumbitches and bitches.

I have to wait another month. By that time there will be no one left to vote for.

Shoot, the NY Mets will have played 20+ games by the time I can vote here in PA (April 22–Earth Day). There won’t be any choice and damn few who care by then.

I voted on my way home from work. Punched the button for Romney. At least there are two astute voters in Jersey. 🙂

Jimbo, at least we tried.

Looks like we both backed the same horse, oh well maybe there will be another day, he would have made a good President.
On a lighter side in regards to your not voting is not an option.
Remember the
“I have a crush on Obama” Girl?
It seems she didn’t vote was too sick to go to the polls that day, but not too sick to go to a Party that night.
ROTFLMAO
