I haven't even looked at the mailer yet. When I saw the thickness of it I did a Scarett O'Hara. But Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.

I suppose I'd better bite the bullet.

mon amie i have an entry on the worst things i have done in my life what fun and i ask the reader to come and share come ha ha what fun i am going to invite people

I have read all the crap and marked my ballot.
Iam ready to cast my vote and hope it counts as as the electory crap should be history / My the BEST man WIN

We have had vote by mail for years here on Oregon. Its ok, but I actually miss going to the polls on election day especially in a Presidential election. *sigh*

I will be happy to see this election cycle come to an end however. I am very weary of political ads on every level. One of the congressional races here has gotten very ugly and the proponents of certain measures seem willing to sink to any depth to sway the vote. All of it has gone way beyond the free exchange of ideas; on many measures it has become more a contest of who can tell the biggest wopper.

Look out Pinnochio. You may have some competition on that nose thing.

Well, now you have your pencil, have fun. ;-)

I do the same thing. I'm perhaps a *too* concientious voter, because I want to make darn sure what I'm argreeing to!

I think in WA we get to use a black pen. I never checked. Maybe I'd better!

Good luck, and good for you for taking on your civic duty with good humor.

My voters pamphlet intimidates me. There are certain issues I know how I am going to vote on, other things I have no idea.

But with the blood bath among certain canidates this year for Oregon positions, the no name canidates you dont hear about until you get the pamphlet are looking really good to vote for. We shall see...I may just decide to close my eyes and point. LOL

RYC: Thanks for responding, Yetz. I appreciate the input. I agree that it's good we are free to disagree. I would gently remind you, though, that the slaughter in Iraq hasn't actually stopped; that America is now a part of it and we're being slaughtered over there now along with the Iraqis, and that the US has never done anything about Rwanda, Botswana, East Timor, or anywhere else that dictators are massacreing people who disagree with their governments. We seem to be interested only in the Middle East. Something to think about.

I feel the same way about the liberals; I agree more with their ideals than with conservatives, and that's why I consider myself more a liberal, although I am non-partisan and prefer to think of myself as independent (not to be confused with the Independent Party). From my observations, the main ideological difference between conservatives and liberals seems to be that liberals think everyone should be free to make their own decisions (a little too anarchist for conservatives) and conservatives think all people should behave according to the same moral code (too restrictive for liberals).

I think we could all get along if we learn to "share the road" and realize neither of us may necessarily be right and that, at the same time, we might both be right! :)

We signed up to vote via absentee this year but we are still waiting for our ballots. Looks like we may be heading down to the mall this weekend to vote. I told hubby if we haven't received our ballots by Friday that is what we will do.
