rockpile Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Here's your chance, if you have a political agenda, then post here. 828022[/snapback] Today would have been Granny Rockpile's 108th birthday. When she graduated from "Geneseo Normal School" in 1917 as a teacher, she could not vote. Her brothers who left school in their early teens to work the farm could not read, but they could vote. Interesting when you think about it. She taught in a one room schoolhouse in Springwater, NY. She was a life-long Republican Conservative. In the 70's I used to bait her by bad-mouthing Dick Nixon. We used to watch All In The Family together. Granny was cool. Rockpile Voter #41 (7:45am) Congression District 28 Senatorial District 55 (Screw Hillary) NY Assembly District 132 NY Legislative District 17 But STILL an anarchist!
Bungee Jumper Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I voted predominately for who was the lesser schmuck. Know their positions on the issues, but don't even know their party affiliations (can infer them...sometimes. It's tougher to distinguish a Maryland Republican from a mainstream Democrat than you'd think, though.) The only guy I voted for was Van Hollen...because even though I disagree with him on quite a few issues, he at least puts thought into his positions and doesn't just spew empty rhetoric. At the other extreme...the Cardin-Steele race. I wrote in Osama bin Laden rather than choose between those idiots.
Chilly Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Split my ticket (voted absentee a while ago). Jim Davis (D) for Governor of Florida, Bill Nelson (D) for Senate. Ginny Brown-Waite ® for House.

MattyT Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I wrote in Osama bin Laden rather than choose between those idiots. 828061[/snapback] Great idea. They can take him out when he shows up to be sworn in.
John Adams Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Here's your chance, if you have a political agenda, then post here. 828022[/snapback] In races anyone would care about, I voted for Democrat Rendell for Governor. I voted for Democrat Casey (against Santorum is a more accurate description of my vote--they are both despicable). I voted for three Republicans besides those two--all three are sacrificial lambs to the Democratic candidates. There were only 5 positions to vote for in my district in PA. Also a state referendum.
RuntheDamnBall Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 In NYS I voted on the working famililes line for most of the candidates. I could not vote for Hevesi or that schmuck Cuomo. Took the Green Party line on both AG and Comptroller.
EC-Bills Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I choose the best candidate regardless of party. If there is no best candidate, I vote for who I think will suck less. Only other thing I do when it comes to voting is to make sure that anyone who panders to the crazy religous right does not get my vote. Very few incumbents got my votes here in Illinois.
KD in CA Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I voted for the 'closest to moderate' candidates in CT: Lieberman -D Shays - R Rell - R

Just wanna know if the party I support is of the "working families line".

To be honest, a good number of the WF endorsed candidates are Dems but I'd rather vote for the small party so they get better representation and perhaps will put forth more of their own candidates in the future. Also, there were a few races here like State Assembly where the candidate on the Demo line was someone I didn't care for and someone different was running on the WF line. These parties tend to do more in the ground level races around NYC.

I thought you were implying that either the Democrat party you voted for was the "working families party" or, like in my case :-), the Republican party is the "working families party".
