Do you actually live ON Bush's ranch in Crawford?

I do support economic conservatism. love the civil tone.So let's see...who are you voting for then?? If it is McCain, then you get he whole neo-con package, sad to say, since the Republicans have totally lost touch with their true conservatism. (Or are you a Ron Paul or Libertarian type conservative?? If so feel free to vote for a wacko third party candidate....at least you aren't voting for McCain.) Meanwhile the actual Republicans have been SO SO SO fiscally conservative these past 8 years. You joke about this, but sure enough, early Saturday afternoon Fox News had a report about illegal aliens voting in this election. And you know who they're voting for, of course ....I actually saw a similar story a couple nights ago before this story broke about a couple where the wife is from Sweden (legal) and didn't know she couldn't vote here so now they are talking about deporting her. In fact you are right. alot of non-citizens are voting. But let's be honest, it is still a rather small number, compared to plenty of disinfranchized citizens who should be able to vote and aren't able to. I just can't believe we still have something (and someone) to talk about after all these months. Personally I am exhausted. LoueiB Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Bogus Robocall Tells Floridians They Can Vote By Phone By Sarah Lai Stirland EmailOctober 31, 2008 | 6:37:34 PMCategories: Election '08 The residents of Broward County, Florida have recently received misleading robocalls telling them that they can vote by phone on Election Day, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Friday. The report didn't provide many details, other than the fact that the voice fallaciously identified itself as Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes. When asked whether she had heard about the calls, the supervisor's public service director said that she hadn't, and that of course voting by phone is not an option. The call is just one of a number of dirty tricks being pulled off around the country just before record numbers of voters are expected to turn up at the polls on Election Day. Another unknown group is distributing flyers (see the flyer after the jump) with official-looking letterhead around the area of Hampton Roads, Virgina that erroneously inform recipients that because of the crowds at the polls, the Virginia State Board of Elections is scheduling Republicans to vote on November 4th, and Democrats on the 5th. Democratic congressmen Jerry Nadler of New York, John Conyers of Michigan and Bobby Scott of Virginia on Thursday asked the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the matter and to bring criminal charges against the originators of the flyers. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that people in the area have been receiving robocalls with the same message. This particular trick is an old one: In 2004, the New York Times reported the same message going out in the Pittsburgh area via flyers. Link to post Share on other sites

I loved the Johnny Halliday, his "hot in bed wife" and Nalin' Palin references -- plus, in french to be fair, "sarkozy" said he wanted to kill baby seals. Plus -- Neil, these threads have often been a place where we can learn about the issues and talk about them. I have learned a lot about the conservative side of the argument, and for the most part the "arguments" have been very civil. Certainly over the last week the arguments have slowed down as the handwriting appears to be on the wall. Your comment about this being mutual masturbation is pretty unfair and incorrect. You seem to swoop and poop by not participating in the argument except to be a critic of the argument happening at all. Link to post Share on other sites
