1. Damn I hate living in a one-party state - I wanna go back to America |

Don't let Tom DeLay's minions do this to YOUR state!
There were 49 races on my precinct's ballot.
My ground rules: - I do not vote in uncontested races. - I do not consider 'Libertarian' a viable contestant.
Therefore, out of 49 possible votes on the ballot, I voted in only 10 races (20%) - those where there was a Democrat running.
And I did double check to make sure my e-slate :eyes: displayed MY choices before I hit the 'VOTE' button. Man do I hate those machines.
My one regret is that I can't vote in District 22 to get DeLay the hell out of my government.

He's really trashed the place, hasn't he?
When I went to the libraray this past Sunday I could hardly find a parking spot with all the people voting early. It was nice, but I couldn't help worrying about those stupid machines, which burned us in 2002.
:(

3. Houston...is, ugh...DeLay your congressman??? |
|
If he is...I hope that a majority of people there will vote that MF'er OUT!
Kerry winning and Tom DeLay losing would be perfect...along with Barack Obama winning (well, DUH) and Katherine Harris losing. :-)
Give us a report, please. :-)

4. Thankfully I do not live in his District (22) although I wish I did today |
|
...so I could vote against his ass.
My new DeLay-approved 're-district' did not even have a Democrat running. THERE'S Democracy, Bush-style!

7. What Karl Rove has wrought...it's too damn depressing for words. |
|
DeLay is a Rove created creature.
It would be so great for you guys to get back to the Texas of Ann Richards and Jim Hightower. I lived in your state for a couple of years...in Dallas from 1984 -1986. You have some nice, friendly people down there. You don't deserve the government you have down there. :-(
