Election Day

I love voting. I love the fact that I have the opportunity to fire the crooks, liars and thieves who run this state and this country. It’s a nice feeling even if my ballot did wind up in the trash since I voted strictly for Democrats and Libertarians this time.

They say a wave may be coming tonight. Or maybe not. Rick Perry will win the race for Texas governor and the GOP will sweep Texas. I think the Democrats will take the US House and close the gap in the Senate. Maybe that’s wishful thinking, but the leaves in the bottom of my green tea are clustered on the left side on the mug. At least they are when I hold it in my right hand so I’ll keep holding it that way.

It will be interesting tonight to see if Americans prefer to maintain a status quo of corruption, incompetence, arrogance and lies. I’m hopeful, but not really optimistic. Since 2002 Americans have been betting on crooks and swine, and it’s hard to leave your abusers. They are after all the only ones who can protect you.

If you’ve not done so already, vote. And please vote for Democrats. Throw these bums out. That is, unless you like corrupt incompetent government, then by all means vote to keep one party Republican rule.

  1. I 2 love this day, U just see the power of the people. Here in MN, this year the turnout will be double that of 02….me thinks. What about lonestar state?

    Nothing is wishful thinking, the GOP will have hard time in many states today, even if the Dems don’t win one of the houses, they will win governors, and state offices than the GOP.

  2. crooks and swine? ah yes, we do long for the good old days of honest dealing, competent government and straight elections….the Lyndon Johnson years *L*

    I am with you though. I ALWAYS vote to throw the rascals out. I do not like politicians getting comfortable with the job

  3. Mallory, I’m really more opposed to imcumbents than Republicans, but this batch of R’s is especially crooked and swinish.

    Dem & mw, It’s looking like a good night. I guess my optimism wasn’t misplaced.

  4. I’m sure I’ll be voting against these folks one day. Actually, I live in Texas so I’ll always be voting againts the same folks for the rest of my life. We don’t do change here.
