Title: USA Election Day! Go Vote if you can!
Post by: Ron on November 04, 2008, 08:20:22 AM
Vote! Be part of the process!

If you live in the USA, then you know that today will be one of the biggest voting days in the history of the country. If you are an American citizen, then go vote, and be part of the process. Whether you vote for McCain or Obama, or vote yes or no on various propositions, just exercising your right to vote is important.

I took my son there this morning, and there were 25 people ahead of me, with six voting machines. The whole thing took 20 minutes, and it was fun!

A lot of other issues besides McCain vs. Obama.    I voted for McCain, even though there is no chance of him winning in California.  For myself, from a business background, and obviously, I want to pay less taxes, his views are better aligned with me.

In Los Angeles County, 12 propositions, and a myriad of other bonds, measures and other people being 'elected' for office.

Our ballots were black dot kinds, not electronic, nor chad style.

A lot of people are voting for McCain, but not sure if it will help him to win. 

One thing that is interesting. At the voting area, no one checks for identification at all, so anyone can vote. 

It is so simple - to prevent voter fraud - ask for ID, and also, have them put a thumbprint on the ballot too. With the understanding that if you are voting fruadently, it will be a major fine.

typical republican comment , like mcsame you cant say middle class...
basically if you have to shell out a few more thousand a yr in taxes you will lay someone off so you bank 200k a yr instead of 190k.....

god forbid we have to take a few less vacations a yr....


gee 3% more tax on whatever you make over 250k must really hurt, do you even realize your not getting a higher tax on the first 250k?

Actually, you just voted AGAINST YOUR OWN INTERESTS.

Under Obama`s tax plan you pay less taxes for your small business.

We all know your business DOES NOT GROSS 250,000 profit which 98 PERCENT of small businesses also DO NOT GROSS.

Congratulations Ron for voting against your interests and not realizing it.

yes, you can do that if you're black and voting in a swing state

actually...if you are black, latin or another minority, they find away as usual to lose ballots, to come up with stories about equipment breaking down in your district and the other normal stuff.  lets keep it real.  it worked like that in FL severals yrs ago and it will work the same this time around if the election comes down to 2-3 swing states.  

Go Bush!

Total BS... everyone is going to get thier taxes raised.  Obama has you duped.  Just wait til he lets the Bush tax cuts expire and raises cap gains.  Then when he forces employers to provide health care they'll have to start laying off people.

Not to mention all of Obongos associates are anti-semites.  No, I think Ron is thinking very clearly about his interests.

Quit bitching about your taxes and consider foreign policy.

The world does not HATE America, they simply HATE Bush's intimidation tactics and heavy handedness.
All over the world people are scared shitless of a McCain presidency.
Nobody wants a senile warmonger as president, although i suppose if America is ok, then the rest of the world does not matter?

OMG .. why do we give a shit what countries think about us?  A lot of these countries pulling for an Obama presidency are our enemies anyway.

We are the most powerful nation on earth.  Of course a lot of other countries aren't going to like that.  Obama intends to basically disarm us so big surprise there.

yep...here we go again w/this national security nonsense...which only frightens the dumb at heart.  when clinton was president...americans were going to be dying in the streets by the hands fo foreign invaders.  russia will be doing a georgia on alaska when obama is in office.  but dont worry...palin will hold the front when she is back at govn.  lets keep it real.

obama president

1. usa will still have a presence in iraq

Getbig is not my business.  But Obama raising the capital gains tax is my business. Obama claiming $250K but actually a lot less is my business. Obama making sure that everyone has to cover health care for everyone, while not caring about how you pay for it, is a concern.

But again, I am not debating you guys, it has been rehashed over and over.   What happens happens. It is what it is.  I will deal with it, and I will be fine, whoever is president.

I am more concerned about the half cent tax increase in sales tax here in Los Angeles County.

Point it, you need to vote!

I remember the first time I took my youngest with me to vote.  I think a local mayoral election.

She reminded me today that the next presidential election, she will be able to vote.
They grow up so fast.
The lessons they learn along the way from parents are invaluable.

I saw so many people taking their kids with them to vote today.
We are living history.  Sometimes  you need to take a moment to reflect how awesome today is.

Don't care who you vote for, just VOTE!

you really and truly believe he'd be able to implement these things in one term with the current mess he'd walk into.  as noted...lets getreal.  anyway...those numbers wont stick when the final package is passed.  mccain could position us troops faster on the iranian border and call for air strikes because of their mythological war w/ Isreal.

btw...clinton said everyone would get hlthcare coverage.  it's good campaign PR in the USA...but works better in 3rd and developing countries like Cuba and Brazil.  Come up with something new...Ron.

A lot of other issues besides McCain vs. Obama.    I voted for McCain, even though there is no chance of him winning in California.  For myself, from a business background, and obviously, I want to pay less taxes, his views are better aligned with me.

In Los Angeles County, 12 propositions, and a myriad of other bonds, measures and other people being 'elected' for office.

Our ballots were black dot kinds, not electronic, nor chad style.


warren buffet also has a business background and supports obama

Voted. Now where is the nearest Starbucks to get my free coffee?

Did you vote McCain?  Had these yahoos at a clinical last night telling me they're voting McCain because the great John Elway is. Cant wait to transfer Pac-10.

Well.. congrats to Obama.  I hope that by next year, I can save enough money via my taxes to get a faster and better server. Adonis, may all your words be facts with Obama.   

Clinton in 1992 won in 1992, with the House having over 250 Democrats and the Senate 58 Democrats.  People wanted change.   Two years later, when all the promises didnt happen, the Republicans swept both houses, if I remember correctly.

Everyone should give Obama a chance.  Maybe he will work to make things better for all.

But sometime after January 20th, people may realize that he wont pay their mortgage and gas.

Now that he won, time to do what he and his advisors, the ones who got him into office, David Axelrod and David Plouffe, want to do.  Forget the promises.

Actually, growing up, we didnt have much. Came here from another country, worked hard, dad worked from 9-6, then went to school from 7-10 M-Thursday to better our lives.  Saved money, still working hard, and didnt get handouts.

As for kids getting a college fund, I would rather have some money for my kids to go to college, yes.  When I went to college, I was denied 'funds' because my parents made a little too much, which wasn't a lot. I had to work through college too. Many people have to work while going through college. 32 hours of work, 12 hours of school each week at the time.

That is the problem. People expect handouts. There is a lot people can do instead of expecting handouts. Take a class to learn something new. Do some community service. But nah...

It is never about me. I give money to the Diabetes Foundation, to the cancer foundation, to PATT (schools so that they can get items and fund teachers at my daughters school, which is a public school), Autistic Foundation (my sister's son is autistic), and quite a bit.  But it is my choice.

So basically because you had it hard , everyone else should ::)

hmmm considering obama offered free college for people doing community service/serving in the military ect.., whats your point, or do you even bother to read over the policies?

What about the people that dont have the brain capacity to go to college plus work, there are millions of people that cant handle that type of schedule for alot of different reasons and end up bagging groceries for a living.You were  lucky , you have the brain capacity to do what you did, stop trying to lump everyone into one category.

Basically the people that end up stocking shelves for a living at ten bucks an hour dont deserve some extra foodstamps, medical ect... because ron had to work for his. Ever stop to think alot of those people just were not born with  a brain thats capable of learning beyond a highschool education?


AGAIN, ME ME ME , I HAD TO DO THIS, I HAD TO DO THAT.

Survival of the fittest! You can't fucking hack it in this country get the fuck out. If life has taught me anything, nobody fucking gives anything to you, you have to fucking take it. Now that I have worked my ass off, I'm expected to give my money to those who are less fortunate? Fuck them! Unless your "physically" disabled or served our country in the military you do not deserve handouts cause you decided to smoke crack and have eight kids!

Seriously! I had a very similar position. My mom made decent money (didn't have a father around) but it was nothing to brag about. I had to work full-time to afford my schooling, I don't make a lot of money yet, but I'm not expecting those who do to give me shit! Soon my hard work will have paid off, and I'll be damned if I'm giving any of it away to lazy asses. I'd rather donate to charity and know that my money will truly serve a greater cause.
