Why I'm voting straight Democratic on November 7
Take a good look, folks:



These are the crosses that sat in front of Camp Casey down in Crawford, TX over Easter weekend. Each cross represents a soldier who died in Iraq because of Bush's lies.

And I'll go you one further. Each cross also represents the anguish and agony each soldier's family has had to endure because their child died in Iraq as a result of Bush's lies.

I sat in front of those crosses on Good Friday and bawled. When I finally dried my tears, I pledged to these soldiers that we would avenge them for what the Bush administration had done to them and their families.

It can all begin on November 7.

We can take the government back.

And then we can start bringing the Bush administration to justice.

1. I voted a straight DEM ticket Sat....
When I went back to check my vote-I saw that in some races, the only people challanging a GOP was Libertarian. Not wanting to give the GOP ANY approval;tacit or otherwise...I added a vote for Libertarians. No government is better than the GOP one we have now.

The GOP will try to get back Tom DeLay's district hook or crook and Lampson has not had the best run campaign and poor Chris Bell in the gov's race had no money until this month. He would win it but there are 4 candidates in this race:mad:

5. I'm not voting straight democratic
I haven't in ages. And you wouldn't either if you lived in Vermont. Maybe more states will have candidates like Bernie.

6. I would vote for Bernie.
I lived in the People's Republic of Burlington for a few months and I had the privilege of shaking Bernie's hand.

4. That is only one of the reasons.
we need to wrestle the world back from the Republics; a coalition of the Greedy, the Bigoted, and the Stupid.
