kurt Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 I know, no politics. For the first time, I'm finding some interest in the Democratic party.... Download Attachment: kerry sailor.jpg 6.79 KB
hausdok Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Hi, Yeah, I can see its that old shared activities attraction. I'm waiting for a real sourpuss like me to come along. Then, I won't care which party he belongs to, I'll vote for him to be CIC(Curmudgeon in Charge). OT - OF!!! M.
Paul MacLean Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Thanks to Tom Delay and Texas Republican legislature's redistricting mess, Austin no longer has a single rep in the US Congress. Austin is divided into three districts that extend to the Rio Grande Valley, or Houston, or West Texas. There is not a single Democrat running for Congress from my new 10th District. Austin is Texas most liberal city and the legislature has gerrymandered it out of State and Congressional representation. Now I'm normally a fairly conservative guy and have voted for lots of Republicans in the past, but these shenanigans have me a tad upset. I wonder if the Republicans have ever heard of "backlash." I am finding new appreciation for the term "yellow dog Democrat." Sorry, the mention of politics just set me off today.
kurt Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Posted February 22, 2004 The Texans do it Chicago style; it's a hell of a way to run things.
hausdok Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Okay Paul, We'll forgive you, but I think that mine and Kurt's posts were tongue-in-cheek. So, before we get a Republican vs. Democrat vs. Liberal vs. Conservative thread going, let's agree to stop it right here. OT - OF!!! M.
Norm Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Hey Folks, Can I run for Pres. on the Home Inspector Ticket? Norm Sage
a46geo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 I'll vote for you Norm. George But I can understand Paul's frustration.

Norm Sage I think Norm is a safe bet; better than the current choices anyway. Paul, I was speaking stricly tongue in cheek; I'm about as apolitical as one gets. They're all nuts.
Chad Fabry Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 It doesn't matter if I vote or not. My wife has consistantly cancelled every vote I've ever cast. Her only criteria for a candidate is that it not be who I vote for. On election day I always try to divert her attention and make her forget to vote. So far to no avail. I voted for Perot. Twice.
a46geo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Originally posted by Chad Fabry I voted for Perot. Twice. Hey Chad, There is your problem. As Kurt pointed out, Chicago style politics is where it is at. You should have voted for Ross 1500 times. Everyone in the local cemetery only vote twice.
