Talk about a sucky election.
Only ONE person won that I voted for, and EVERY proposition I voted for on the ballet lost.
Geez…either I am so far out of touch with reality, or the entire country has just decided to pull the covers over their head and vote for comfort food.
Oh well…maybe 2004 will bring better news.
Am I the only one who picked (almost) every loser on the ballot?
Suck = fellatio = feels good.
The elections made you fell good?
DMark, that routinely happens to me, but then again, I tend to vote for 3rd party candidates. It also happened this election. If it helps, remember that the United States has already survived over 200 years of lousy politicians, so she seems pretty robust.

I had a clean sweep here in Colorado…not ONE of my choices, person or initiative, was voted in. Instead, we have a Senator who is a little to the right of John Ashcroft and a congressman who didn’t pay his income tax for eight freakin’ years.
Damn.
Most of mine didn’t come through either but I choose based on what would make things better for deaf people. My money was on the right guy for mayor cause I took a website with his name. However, the hampsters in the voting computers here have kept the complete voting from coming through so far. So its still pretty close for some candidates.
They voted in $145M for our local community college so they can fix it up & the fed or state match some of that so they get $228M altogether, which I thought was just silly.
I was pretty bummed out with the Federal election results, but Illinois went my way for the most part. However, with an $8 billion dollar deficit it’s hard to see what the Democrats will get accomplished.
I think my only hope in Washington is that for the next two years the Senate and House hard line right try to take over and the Homecoming King will fight back from the center right while no conservative agenda is accomplished.
In my state, the 2 issues that would have made it possible to build a NASCAR John Deere Tractor tax-free were shot down! Damn!
Oh well, what can you do?
California, my state, got $2.1B for affordable housing. Y’all coming here now?
Oh, DMark, if you voted in Clark County, we must have voted similarly. I hate this county right now. Asshats.
Come on! Prop 2, what a load of crapola. That stuff is always crapola. Never mind my feelings, but look, dumbass, if you’re going to claim to belong to the party that allows greater freedom, then ALLOW GREATER FREEDOM. Or, if you feel like limiting civil liberties, I guess that could be construed as the same thing. As long as you still let me have my gun, I guess it’ll be fine, this amending the state constitution to take away other liberties.
I say again, asshats. Frickin’ Clark County votes. My favorite quote from a news article was here: http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2002/Nov-06-Wed-2002/news/20005093.html
“But Steve Dragg, 50, who was with the majority in voting yes on Question 2 and no on Question 9, said the state’s reputation doesn’t coincide with his views.
“I don’t want Nevada to have a reputation as a `live and let live’ state,” he said.”
Yep, old Steve and his ilk would like us to have a reputation as a “you do what we say when we say it!” state. Quit that living your life crap!
Okay, I’m a little upset about the way the election went. Thanks for letting me vent.
Yes, bristlesage, I voted in Clark County…
We gotta start advertising to get more liberals to move to this state. You would think with the reputation of Las Vegas, the area would be teeming with fun-lovin’, live-and-let-live folks - but that would be a wrong assumption. Of course, it was Utah Mormon money that financed the Prop 2 nonsense.
Oh well…now I know how the Republicans felt when that hick from Arkansas backed his U-Haul up to the White House and started to unload.
Anybody hear of Dean from Vermont? He’s starting his run for President and so far, he looks damn good.
Onward and upwards…next election will be better (for me)!
