TheBigDog Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Absolutely. Registering to vote is simple. And voting is your voice in who represents you and your neighbors in the government. No matter if your candidate wins or loses, in a representative government those running listen to the voices of the voters. If you want your voice heard, vote.

Turtle Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 My state of Washington offers the option of registering under a Permanent Absentee status which in effect allows us to vote by mail from home. I have already filled out and returned my ballot.In addition to electing officials, voting is employed for approving or disapproving a good many ballot measures' passage into law.:cup: :cup: On a side note, the E-voting continues to present boondoggle after boondoggle; I urge you to urge your representatives to outlaw it.

Buffy Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 So, I realize that esoteric scientific arguments will not motivate some of you guys to vote, so... ...how about public nudity! No matter how you feel about public nudity get out there and vote! (I know this will at least work on Now! :Guns: ) Libido in motion,Buffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 (I know this will at least work on Now! :eek_big: )While I appreciate the less than honorable mention, it saddens me deeply that these are the types of issues which drive the citizenry to the polling booths. With all of the international problems to be solved, or AT LEAST discussed openly, the attentional focus toward, what can only be termed, "hot button issues," the desire to legislate an individual's sense of morality and decency, seem robustly lacking in relevance when put into global context. However, if voters could do so in the nude, then turnout among youths would significantly increase! Avoid the retirement homes though, and stick to the beaches... :doh: Ah heck, it doesn't matter where... GO VOTE! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Republican Gus Bilirakis is running for his dad’s old 9th District seat in Florida, which has been safely Republican for a quarter century. But Democrat Phyllis Busansky is … well, she’s not the Republican, so the race is competitive. Too bad she’s such a whore! Today’s comedy mailer shows the 69-year-old Jewish grandmother next to a naked gal, because she wants Christians to be forced to go around naked in public. Turns out Busansky was on a county commission in 1991 and was one of two members who didn’t vote for a legal ban on thong bikinis — including on people’s private property. In other words, PHYLLIS BUSANSKY WILL BANKRUPT OUR VALUES.The ad in question pictures two women, and correctly states the postion of Mrs. Busansky, along with the date that she took that position. The article opposing it makes little attempt at honesty. It says that the ad is calling Mrs Busansky a whore - a lie. It says that the ad claims Mrs Busensky will force Christians to be nude in public - a lie. All this ad does is state Mrs. Busansky's position taken on a past issue of public dress code. And the reply on this site is an attack by any measure. http://www.wonkette.com/politics/funny-pictures/campaign-mailer-of-the-day-212552.php Why is this ad singled out as being over the top? Either it will be effective with the voters or it will not. But I have faith in the voting public. More so than this site which feels so strongly about writing what is not written between the lines. And the argument of "there are so many REAL issues..." People who say this have no patients for the fact that they are not the final judge of propriety in the world. And that they may not be the person that this ad was intended for. Should everyone with different sensibilities than you be ignored because you are the final authority on proper?

FYI: Wonkette is actually an equal-opportunity slanderer: the Democrats get blasted there often too. And they freely admit that its slander! :) Point of course is simply: is this really the most important issue of the day? Or the only one that will get out the vote? And what does that say about the level of political discourse in our society? I don't think that's a partisan issue either.... Now get out there and vote!
