Default The Right to Gripe!!

I received my absentee ballot, voted and mailed it, so now no matter what happens I got the RIGHT TO B!TØH!!!

I hope all you out there vote. If you don't - don't get on this site(or any other) and say one word!!!

At least this is one of the rights I get to exercise even OCONUS

This is my first presidential election that I get to vote in, so I'm pretty excited. Should be good!

I registered Republican when I first got my license and haven't gone back. I can't stand the liberal mindset on pro-life issues. The right to life is just as inalienable as any other right and it's being attacked. Anyway, I'll stop preaching. :-)

Aye, sir - but what about those of us who - while we have enough logical, true information to make rational decision on a presidental candidate - can't do so because of age requirements?

I know, personally, I love to debate with people, especially on the subject of politics.

Originally registered as independent, mainly because there are things I agree with on each side, and things I disagree with on each side. Like Seminarian, this will also be my first time voting in a presidential election. At this time, I'm registered as a Republican because my state requires I declare a party to vote in any primaries. I've made my decision, and will be up bright and early on the 4th of November to hit the polls.

I just hope everyone else I know who's able to exercises the right.

What EXACTLY is the "right" way to vote??


If you guys knew HALF the stuff that I saw growing up in AZ..........I am so very discouraged right now. Has anybody done their own research on both the candidates? Or is everyone relying on the the media relations and campaign commercials to make their decisions?

The fact of the matter is that we don't have a 'good' candidate to vote for, so I am extremely curious to know what is the 'right' way to vote...........

I've often thought of what would happen if there was a place on the ballot that said "check here to vote for neither candidate". It would probably be chaos if we had that and it actually turned out that neither candidate got enough votes to win. Then again, that's impossible with the electoral college. I don't think electors have the option to withhold their vote from both candidates.

LOL, we could always write in our own candidate........Vote for SCRAPPY!!!

(I am just joking. I will keep reiterating my joking comments until everyone understands my sense of humor and doesn't take anything I say personally)


I sure wish Colin Powell had run previously, but then that would negate the reason for wanting him as President so badly......Those who do not WANT the power usually make the best leaders.
