Election 2004 Pass

Glad to see the BTl made it safely.

In Indiana you have to declare your party affiliation in the primary. Always have.

You get a ballot for the party you declare for and vote for who you want to run in the fall election. I thought it worked that way everywhere.

YOu get a piece of paper with the letter R or D on it. you hand that to the machine observer and she sets up the machine for the right choices. Then you vote.

R for Right, D for Dummy :p
 
Hey, Ben!!!

I don't have any problem with that system, never have. It' s the paranoia that the Republicans evidenced that bugged me (and apparently many Republicans as well).

Their stated reason for the loyalty oath ('cause that's what it amounted to) was so that those sneaky Democrats couldn't come in and vote for the weaker of the candidates, and thereby slant the November elections.

Personally, I think it was due to the fact that the Republicans have been in undisputed control here for so long, most party members don't even bother to vote in the primaries
anymore.

Indiana, huh? I have a friend there, law prof emeritus from IU. He has a license plate on his car that reads "DEMCRAT". He has had things thrown at him, been flipped off, had weapons brandished, been cut off in traffic, you name it.

Nice tolerant folks you got out there in the midwest. And to think, we missed having Dan Quayle as veep. :sign: :sign:


R for Reactionary, D for Decent and Deliberative. :p :p
 
:sign:

Dan wrote a very nice book after his term as VP. "Standing Firm" is a nice read. I recommend it. I hope you enjoyed my photos of my soveniers from the Bush/Quayle ralley Psyktek.

Gee, (actually I should have quoted psyktek's post) I didn't realize primary voting created such havoc in other states.

In Connecticut you have to be registered with a party to vote in their primaries. If you are registered "unaffiliated" you can change to a party affiliation to vote in a primary any time you want BUT if you are registered with a party you can switch your party affiliation to a different party BUT you don't get "party priviledges" (like being able to vote in a primary, being able to be a member of that party's local or state committee) for NINETY days.

We tend to not have many primaries anyway and when we do, we're lucky if 20% of those reigstered in a particular party vote in the primary anyway.

Connecticut passed a "direct primary" law last year giving candidates the right to petition for a primary by collecting signatures instead of garnering a certain percentage of delegates at a convention but only one candidate took advantage of this new law this year. One of the changes the direct primary law did was to move the primary to August from September. September primaries are ridiculous, it's one of the ridiculous forms of incumbency protection going :0 and okay Bob, since the DEMOCRATS :p have been in charge in Connecticut for so long, most people wanted to move the primary date to a real month like June but the Democratically controlled legislature refused to do it. They talk a great game about "good government" but the reality is they won't pass laws that may bite them in the a$$. Hey, I'll admit, there wasn't a whole lot of noise made by the Republicans in CT on this one either. This just reinforces my theory about the two-party system, the two parties are not "Democrats" & "Republicans" but rather "Incumbents" & "Challengers" or "Insiders" & "Outsiders" ;)
 
Five presidents are on a plane: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. George Washington says, "I will make someone happy!" and throws a dollar bill off the plane.
Then Abraham Lincoln says, "I will make five people happy!" and throws 5 one dollar bills off the plane.

Then Thomas Jefferson says, "I will make 500 people happy!" and throws 500 one dollar bills off the plane.

Then Bill Clinton says, "I will make the whole world happy!" and throws George W. Bush off the plane.

:p
 
Okay all you political savvy guys just checking in to let you know the package has arrived at my doorstep in one piece.

Unfortunately I am tied up with the Jewish New Year celebration of Rosh Hashana (Happy New Year 5762 to all of you and your families) and will not get to the package till tomorrow afternoon.

Will turn it around as fast as I can ;)

NO NO CS, you screwed up the punch line:

George W. Bush says "I will make the whole world happy!" and throws Bill Clinton off the plane.

The pass is moving along at a great pace :thumbs:

I finally met my candidate's opponent last Friday. We taped a local cable access show with her. She refused to go on camera with Mike and insisted that he do the first 15 minutes and she get interviewed 2nd. I had to laugh because I was in the control room when with her when Mike was being taped and he did extremely well. So well in fact that she was having fits watching him and she ended up being a little off her game when it was her turn. We're out just about every day campaigning and it's going real well. Cross your fingers for us, I think we can win this one :thumbs:
 
Looking forward to the package :p

Now CC, what can you do about getting me elected as Governor of California.

I think that being Governor sounds like a pretty cool job and I hear that the benefits and retirement are great :thumbs:
 
Package was recieved in good order yesterday.

Very cool reading CC, thanks for including it. And thank you for the Bush/Cheney bumper sticker. I can now completely annoy the Bay Area Liberals around here, which is not too hard to do, just mention anything bad about Kerry and your car gets keyed and the tires slashed.

Kids wanted a second younger dog that would play with them so we found a free registered Republican dog.

Here is a more well known dog of the same species: Barney Bush
