1. A waste of time
I have learned that voting IS a waste of time. My vote won't be counted, unless I vote Republican. I ain't gonna!

2. The machines must go
Everyone must vote on paper, and it must be hand-counted. Can't hack that vote.

3. My voting place gave me the option to vote on paper.
And I stupidly trusted the machine. Do all places give
the option? If so, then I think we must all ask for
paper.

4. The anti-jeb campaign should start now.
All the Rove tricks. Dig up any dirt, whisper campaigns, force him into no win situations,...

I know people don't want to go to their level, but you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

11. Jeb is dirty. Start with defrauding Medicare. I did some work on
this about a year ago. His business partner had to flee the country and is wanted by the FBI. It was in Mother Jones.

Although, W makes Jeb look like Shirley Temple.

6. Hmm. Maybe we should have waited until 2007 for election
reform. We are giving them 4 years to come up with a new way to bilk the system.

7. BTW, Heard on C-SPAN this morning that Jeb doesn't want it
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 07:32 PM by Laura PackYourBags
because, paraphrasing here..."His friends say he is too tempermental and flies off the handle to easily when criticized. He also has shady business dealings in his skeleton closet" On Edit: Also his net worth was $4mm when he became governor and he's eaten it up (probably on bribes) and he's down to less than $2mm and he wants out to make so real money.

8. Voting Is Waste Of Time
Unfortunately, the system doesn't work, and the leaders either don't care, or have incentive to maintain the status quo. If I ever bother following politics, or voting again, it would be for a 3rd party. Although they have an even more impossible chance of winning.

10. I know ! I used to vote that way, to make a point, to vote for the
person I truly respected and agreed with. The way I feel now, I will probably go back to that too.

15. Daughter and niece. Gene pool. Sadly, both will probably get
disappeared for being inconveniently human.

13. lol. Actually, now the BFEE now has Juliani and McCain to
fight with. They probably feel it's their turn. Especially McCain for kowtowing to a man who crushed him mercilessly
