Question of the Day, Sep 15

The election starts tomorrow, at least in some states with early voting. What are your thoughts on early voting? Alternatively, what are your thoughts on her vote counting the same as yours, more if you don’t vote??

Vote early, vote often. That’s how these things are won.
With regards to the lady in the photo, I’m just glad that voting is based on a per person basis and not by the pound. We would have lost already.

The left would find some way to call your statement racist. Yeah I know fat is not a race but muslim is not a race either, it is a political ideology. Yet that never stops the left from labeling anyone one that doesn’t agree with them with this catch all phrase.

I didn’t notice h’illary using phataphobe when she put so many of us in the deplorable’s basket. Is that because she is fat do you think? For goodness sake, this lady could almost be her new body double stand in.

falls in same pattern of dem supported positions, just like no photo id or motor voter and criminals released solely to vote, of course new arrivals? after all this fraud why should the marxists have any concerns about the outcomes? best of all they count the votes as well.

I don’t mind early voting – as a general principal we should make it as easy for qualified voters to vote as possible.

And by qualified, I mean an informed citizen with a stake in this country. I don’t think you should be able to vote if you receive government assistance, and that includes SS. It’s a conflict of interest. I would also say you have to be a taxpayer, but OTOH I think taxes are largely bullshit so that’s a bit of a catch-22.

As to the young lady, I know nothing about her. Are we assuming she’s a Democrat because she’s fat? If she’s an informed citizen and not on government subsidies, yes I want her to vote, regardless of her leanings. More power to her.

Crimson…..disagree with your opinion that I shouldn’t be able to vote if I collect SS.

I didn’t have a choice – the Gov’t took $$$ from every paycheck.
I paid taxes my entire life and still going strong on that count: Federal, State, and Local.

Never fucked anybody out of a dime, but have been fucked financially by a number of people, especially governments.

Want you to reevaluate your position.

Interesting issue. The true solution would be to disband SS entirely (making whole those who were forced to pay into it), but that’s not going to happen, so…

But hold on – maybe that is the point. Why can’t we disband it? It’s bad for the country. Certainly wasn’t envisioned in the founding documents. But the people who receive benefits form a huge voting block and will vote for their personal interests over the welfare of the country. And if anyone tries, or even tries to reduce benefits or age eligibility, they’ll get tarred and feathered in the voting booth.

So I take your point about being forced into it, and thinking further I don’t think it’s right to say that age 65, you’re essentially automatically excluded from voting. But if SS is going to bankrupt the country (or is at least one of the things), and if politicians refuse to fix it because the millions of people who get benefits will crucify them at the polls due to their self interest, then aren’t we in a death spiral?

How would you deal with that conundrum?

I quit voting in 2000 when the Supreme Court told the US citizens who the president would be, after a long haul of obvious overwhelming election fraud. Until then I had voted in -every- election, local and national, since 1972.

The day before yesterday I re-registered to vote, this one last time. I’m giving them one last chance.

In our state all votes are mail-in paper ballots. There are no election places here any more.

None of this answers your question, but I wanted to give some backround.

I’m going to vote for Donald Trump in a last ditch effort to prevent the Clinton/Bush duopoly from sinking our nation for good and forever. It may be too late.

How can we ever really know how the votes are counted in this election? Early voting is just another trick in the deck for the owners, if it were not to their advantage it would not exist.

We will get a new assclown or possibly be stuck with the empty suit we have now due to some cooked up situation but all in all these selected puppets are truly (s)elected no matter how anyone votes or does not vote.

My question is why do you keep playing the game, seriously? Can anyone here offer up an answer that would change the minds of those who will sit on the sidelines?

“Can anyone here offer up an answer that would change the minds of those who will sit on the sidelines?”

It has been said that “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Sitting on the sidelines is, literally, doing nothing.

Well, when the good men manage to get rid of the Diebold machines, get paper ballots, require photo ID, no FSA or government paid employees allowed to cast votes, and all votes are counted and verified at each precinct before being transported to the state election board………….then I could agree. So how do we get the ball rolling Anon??

Talk is easy bud.

Trump may be our last chance to vote thumbs down on the NWO and the Project for a New American Century; at least the Vote Fraud Masters will see the results. Besides paying taxes, voters should never have been a felon, must be English speaking citizens that have passed a basic Civics test at least as hard as a drivers license test, and only get to vote once using a paper ballot. Everyone caught cheating gets a year in the Big House.

I cancelled my voter registration 7-17-16. I’m now a spectator strictly in it for the entertainment although it’s like those Medieval Dinner Show restaurants where you’re mostly entertained but sometimes drafted to BE the entertainment.

I’m gonna laugh at the hottie in the picture when ALL of her entitlements get cancelled simultaneously. I might even end up driving a dozer to bury some of the multitudes like her that don’t make it when the funny money runs out of value and velocity at the same time. I have to laugh or I might cry. I wonder if we’ll pass those stories on verbally or in books? Perhaps cave paintings? Stay tuned!

Spectator or not, you WILL live with the result.

Don’t you think it might be a good idea to at least have a say in it?

Or do you actually prefer being just another no count in the scheme of things, willing to go along with whatever someone else decides for you whatever that might turn out to be?

If you are on EBT/welfare, are a full time government bureaucrat of some type or do not pay property taxes then no voting for you. Voting should be restricted to people who do/have worked for a living and have/had skin in the game. I am tired of the growing ‘political class’ stepping on my rights and stealing more and more from me on an annual basis.

Voting should be in person, with photo ID on Election Day. Keep the polls open from 6 AM to 9 PM. In order to get a ballot you should have to answer three simple arithmetic questions. Something like “what’s 1,000 X 1,000?”. Get 2 out of 3 of them right and you get a ballot. Early voting, mail-in voting and especially touch-screen voting are all demonrat schemes to facilitate fraud.

should should should….all well and good, the reality is that
some precincts see 105% vote for person A and person B=0.
Nonetheless, I will participate, once again. My Mr. insists
I vote (sort of) so regardless of rigging, I will vote.

I despise early voting. Absentee is fine if you’re truly out of town on election day but man-up and get your ass into the voting booth on election day.

As for who gets to vote, it should be citizens only (duh) and you should have to prove that. We are a mostly urban nation and people don’t know their neighbors like when some of these voting laws were pass. Personally vouching for a friend??!! Are you fucking serious???

I’d also take away direct voting for senators and put that back to the state legislatures. My wet dream is going back to what the founders intended letting only land owners vote. That’d fix 99% of our problems with who gets elected.

@Aqua

Uh-huh, I bought a rock album back in the 70’s that included a “deed” for one square inch of land. Ok, sure it was listed as “honorary”. But what if say somebody/group, actually sold and included a recorded deed of one square inch of land?

[imgcomment image[/img]

1 Acre = 43,560 sq. ft. = 6,272,640 sq. in.

Do the math. Even at one penny per “parcel”.
Would this qualify for your definition of property owner?

Would you make another law about the size of salable property? Or, a new law having property size a qualification of voting? Perhaps, we could have news laws determining who can become a legislator?

But then, how could it be decided who is eligible to vote for the new law?
