    Amish veteran children?
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      Don't laugh off the Amish child veteran vote!


      (Actually, the Amish are conscientious objecters, so would not be veterans.)
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        is it wrong to cast a write in vote? if you dislike the principle candidates equally (and have no use for the on ballot 3rd party candidates)? If you live in a non-swing state?

          The news said up in Little Rock there was a couple hours' wait for early voting. They said 20% of Pulaski County's registered voters had already early voted. Turnout will be big, hopefully the nation will cope.


          ...and not have any problems handling so many voters.

              Another replublican ploy!!! Poster intimidation!!!
              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                This picture is just too damn funny not to post.

                The Amish will turn the tide!!!
                The Amish don't vote either.

                Still, a funny picture.

                  I am calling that Nader and Badnarik will tie with 0.6% each.

                    Besides the presidential election, I'm most interested in the Daschle v. Thune race. Bush could win and then stick the Senate Dems in the eye to boot.

                      I care more about Daschle-Thune than the Presidential Election. I want Daschle out.

                        They're not specifically excluded. (I'm counting on their support)

                          Since it's now November 2nd here, I want to wish all Americans a Happy Election Day.

                          Free elections are a blessing, not to mention the tradition of peaceful handover of power, should that be the outcome.

                          This should also be a day of celebration, despite all political differences.

                                The decision now passes to the people



                                THE high priests of polling ordained that George Bush and John Kerry should both hold last rallies next to each other under the cliffs of downtown Milwaukee yesterday — Hector and Achilles finally meeting beneath the walls of Troy.
                                As the rain fell and the wind raced in over Lake Michigan, the President arrived with the Oak Ridge Boys, Mr Kerry with Jon Bon Jovi. Everyone seemed exhausted. To the mayor, Tom Barrett, there had “never been a day like it in the history of Milwaukee."
