Voted today in Arkansas and unbelieveable

[Blue_Roses]

long lines. I stood in line for over an hour and they said it had been this way since early voting began on Monday! They're saying this is the biggest early voting EVER! While waiting, I got to talking to a couple behind me about the daily show and Bush. Both said they are so ready to see Bush head back to Crawford for good:D They said they have lived here all their life and have never seen a turnout like this one!

:bounce:

[amber dog democrat]

1. freedom is on the march

and not a moment too soon. This is wonderful news.
Its too bad he has to live in Texas... I am thinking Iwo Jima might be a good place for him to retire.

[naufragus]

2. He doesnt live in Texas

the "ranch" is just a bunch of land purchused as a prop and photo backdrop. the ranch will be sold by january.

[Jane Austin]

3. I vote for him going to Florida. :)

Texan here, hoping to start the cleanup with Bush.

33. Man, don't send him HERE!

It's bad enough with just ONE of 'em!

[Minimus]

17. but but but

Daryl Waltrip said bush is a good ol boy, he has a farm and Kerry lives in a mansion.

[txindy]

21. Lol! I heard Waltrip say that, too. I think Daryl's

gone through his windshield a few times too many. Poor guy. **sniff** :evilgrin: A farm! Sheesh. :eyes:

[TomClash]

4. I don't want Bush to go back to Crawford

I want him to go to jail.

[noonwitch]

9. Sending him back to Crawford is a start toward that goal

As long as he's in office and congress is GOP controlled, nobody is going to do any kind of investigation into his activities.

[naufragus]

20. A Texas prison would be nice

so he can see first hand what his policies do to people.

[Reciprocity]

22. How about Huntsville !! n/t

[TriMetFan]

32. Yes and then the Guards can let the dogs loose on him.

:evilgrin:

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Good news but...........

Don't send the chimp back here! We've had enough of his bush*it to last a lifetime!

[Blue_Roses]

40. I can understand and appreciate this as someone

who lived in Texas for 10 under his "governship." I moved to Arkansas a year ago, so I was going through what you are dealing with now in 2000--I knew then people would have to see for themselves what an idiot he is before they would actually believe it. Unfortunately, in the process, alot of our young soldiers have died due to his ignorance and incompetence.

Texans are smarter than they ---sound...!

[Virginian]

6. How much stuff is on your ballot? Did U C any1 give up?

Were people leaving before they voted?

Not only do we have people to vote for, we have 4 bond issues and 2 state ammendments on the ballot.
Our lines will be long and slow moving. I am afraid a lot of voters will give up and go home. We only have one day to vote.

[Blue_Roses]

11. We had the touch screen and I asked if it was a Diebold

machine and the lady looked at me puzzled. I asked her if this vote would count:evilgrin: and she smiled and said most definitely! These weren't Diebold as I found out afterwards. Some other company named Votran :shrug: or something like that. I had never heard of them.

[hatrack]

16. You sure it wasn't VOLTRON?!?

I know my votes would be safe with him!

[Blue_Roses]

30. that was it

tell me this isn't sarcasm...

[Bandit]

26. Was there any Exit Polling?

I am concerned that there will be no exit polling where the touch screen voting takes place. Especially those with no paper trails.

[Blue_Roses]

31. No--that bothers me too.

and no paper trail.

[CAcyclist]

43. The initiatives are a good thing

Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Here, in California, we have - I don't remember - something like 20 initiatives but I would fight to the death to keep my right to decide these issues. It's what's made California so progressive. It's true grassroots democracy.

[4_Legs_Good]

7. Nice!!!

Keep it up!!

Say, what's the feeling towards Clinton there these days?

I'd really like to see him campaigning in Arkansas.

david

[Blue_Roses]

13. Clinton IS STILL ADORED

here, especially now that they know what a piece of crap Bush is for president. Of course the fundies don't like him--nothing new there--but his library will be finished on Nov 18 and it's already drawing a big crowd. There won't be an empty hotel room for miles:D

[4_Legs_Good]

15. Fantastic!!!!

Keep up the good work, and I hope Bill stops by sometime soon!

david

[Hello_Kitty]

36. Even people who didn't like Clinton before

Have really softened toward him post-Presidency, except the frothing at the mouth fundies of course. Now that the right wing witch hunt against him has abated, people are starting to appreciate what a sharp guy he is, particularly in comparison to the doofus in the Oval Office now.

[Blue_Roses]

38. Yep--exactly

those tongues are not as sharp towards the big dog, however, they are still ignorant to bush in alot of ways.

[ladybugg33]

41. If they listened to his convention speech, they know we lost a great

leader. Bush is a dolt.

[Search Party]

8. baghdad sounds good to me,

we can give him one of those 'nam era flak jackets for "safety"

[sr_pacifica]

42. The Iraqi people have suffered enough

...maybe Poland.

[Blue_Roses]

44. ROFLMAO!

That is too funny...:D

[GoSolar]

10. I heard the same thing

about early voting in NC!

[high density]

12. Did all of these people turn out to maintain the status quo?

I hope not...

[Lex]

18. Big turnouts and long lines are not indicative of preserving status quo.

That's indicative of putting the incumbent out on his sorry a$$.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

14. Sounds like this EV scenario could happen....

of course, if we're winning Ark. then we're winning Nevada too!
Not to mention Florida and Ohio and WV!

[Reciprocity]

23. They give Bush Florida and Ohio, not bloody likely. n/t

[NewYorkerfromMass]

27. No no. I made that map myself

here: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/election-test-fl,0,1851284.flash

[Reciprocity]

28. How do I find the properties to upload it to my album after I finish?

This would be fun to look at on Nov 3rd.

[Reciprocity]

29. Kick

[Lakerstan]

45. My CONSERVATIVE estimate

Would make NM, AR and NH Red and make OH Blue. That gives us 275.

37. well the 3 Democrats I stood in line between for an hour

didn't feel the "power" of W. They did however, feel the "power" to send him back to Crawford and reeeeeal fast as we say here in the ignorant state:eyes:

[Thrill]

24. It will take the big dawg to win

there

[Eric J in MN]

34. Bill Clinton should record radio ads for Arkansas, and soon (nt)

nt

[Blue_Roses]

35. No it won't

Arkansas is a dead heat...it's been this way for awhile. The media doesn't say that but inside polling does. Kerry signs are everywhere. There are alot of soldiers in Iraq from Arkansas and moms are mad as hell at shrub.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. We're takin' our country back!

That is great news! I call a Kerry landslide!

[cyr330]

39. I grew up there

And I haven't lived there for 20+ years, but my parents are still there. My mother (a RABID Democrat) told me that the Dems had registered approximately 25,000 voters in Pulaski County--I think that's correct? She said that 90% of those registered were Dems, because I think a few were "independents". . . Wouldn't it be sweet for AR to go back to its home in the Democratic Party? Maybe I would be able to eventually forgive it for voting for that cretin, GWB.
