RuntheDamnBall Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I didn't know "Working Families" was an actual party. 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". 828406[/snapback] Come on, Jim. "Democratic Party," not "Democrat Party." You can't really be falling in line that easily, can you? Don't be a sheep.
Joey Balls Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Voted third party. Socialist, Green, libertarian, and yes...one conservative judge. The races where I voted for the Democrat I voted on the Working Families line. Disappointing that I had to vote for Conservative congressman Brian Higgins but there was no way I was voting for any Republicans today. Voting in NYS is so simple. The process has been used for what seems like fifty years and it makes me wonder why the other states don't make it less complicated. Give me the old curtain and levers anyday. In and out with no wait.

Maybe Diebold isn't evil after all?

RuntheDamnBall Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 No, Diebold's not evil, just extremely incompetent. 828446[/snapback] I think Diebold is just trying to provide a beautiful bit of fluidity, making the whole process a celebration of incompetence. Incompetent government, incompetent electoral process, incompetent voters, incompetent machines... What's not to like?
smokinandjokin Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I always vote the straight ticket. I'm sick and tired of those gays and their rights.
X. Benedict Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I always vote the straight ticket. I'm sick and tired of those gays and their rights. 828472[/snapback] Have you ever voted a little curious?
TPS Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Where I had choices, I voted 3rd party--with the exception of Spitzer. I voted green party on AG and Senator, and Libertarian for Comptroller.

To vote Socialist in NYS you really had to look hard for the Party Line. It was the last row and partially obscured. Only three candidates were running on that line. Was interesting to note the Green Party Line was a few lines above Libertarian.
KD in CA Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 http://workingfamiliesparty.org/ We're on the verge of winning 5 Republican-held House seats here in New York. The WF family party is really on the verge of winning 5 House seats? Gee, and here I thought it was just a misnomer for the socialist wing of the Democrats.
Tux of Borg Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I voted to lower taxes and ban gay marriages.
IBTG81 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I voted to lower taxes and ban gay marriages. 828759[/snapback] Did you also vote for the candidate who allows people to shoot one another in the head? Gay marriages-Why would you deny people the same rights you have? Seems a bit...Nah.
spidey Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 well couldn't be third party since in NC the laws pretty much make it impossible for third parties to be on ballot. Actually for most of the ballot options I had this AM were either unopposed or unaffiliated ( supreme court judicial and other judicial seats). I really didnt pay attention to party affiliations I vote for people based on how well they align with my views on issues. For instance local issues were more on school, bonds and growth, congress on national issues, judicial on how they voted on various things before them.
/dev/null Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Voted Republican for House and Senate (almost had to hold my nose voting). Congressional candidates were an empty suit incumbant vs a tax collector. i don't care if the republican is an empty suit, no way i'm voting a tax collector into Congress Senate candidates was a guy who ran on having worked for Ronald Reagan and a maccaccahead And voted No the big ballot question on the definition of marriage
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Voted straight Dem...need some balance out there. I did notice the "Working Families Party" on the ballot?! Who are they, were did they come from? What is their bias?
EC-Bills Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I consider myself "religious right". Which opinions of mine would classify me as "crazy" and which ones would not? 828358[/snapback] Here is a small sample of issues in no particular order I have with the crazy religious right: 1. The inane belief they can replace other people's rights with their religious beliefs. (i.e abortion, right to die, etc.) 2. Somehow think that just because they are religious they have morals and those who do not believe do not. 3. Think your religion is *the* only correct religion. 4. Intolerance towards gays 5. Somehow think there should be prayer in school as opposed to getting up 5 minutes earlier and praying with their own kids. I'll could go on but I'll stop there. As far as your opinions go, I would say just about all of them from what I have seen of your posts.
