"Some would say they are lying."

But, but, but... You just said "God bless em!"

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I believe Torie was being facetious.

Suddenly, a vote system that has been around since rocks cooled, now has to be dumped ahead of schedule, because a few dumbass voters just can't hack it.

No system could be implemented that would be easy enough for these morons.

[King Prout]

depending on where the speaker is from "God bless 'em" is quite an insult, implying a profound level of retardation.

That's what I hate most about this abortive decision... It tries to put CA in the same bag with FL voters!!!

SurveyUsa's latest California Recall poll shows overwhelming support to keep the Oct 7 special election date.

Anything new on the candidate standings? I'll be not as it's too soon since the last results.

A question from a slightly bemused Englishman. Over here when one votes, one is given a piece of paper with the various options printed, and a pencil, one puts a cross in the box next to the relevant candidate/answer, and then puts the paper in a locked box. We don't have any problems with chads, be they hanging, pregnant or anything else.

Is it time to take a giant leap back to technology which actually works?

How come they can't vote, but they have no problem completing paperwork for unemployment, food stamps, and welfare?

piss off, bigot.

First of all - Kiss my ass. Secondly, I've said nothing untrue. These poor folks are the ones who are spoken of in the lawsuits to postpone the election. I'm not judging anyone, just understanding EXACTLY what the ACLU insinuating.

So to summize, Kiss my ass, moron.

[DoctorMichael]

SHAME ON THE ACLU.

[jethropalerobber]

I'm not judging anyone, just understanding EXACTLY what the ACLU insinuating.

nice try. you're the one equating minorities with unemployment, food stamps, and welfare, not the ACLU.

you're a bigot and you stink before the world.

what's worse is you're a cowardly bigot who tries to distance himself from his own bigoted statements.

piss off. you're not welcome here.

I'm not welcome here? By whom - you? This isn't your party, pal.

Minorities with unemployment, food stamps, and welfare ARE the ones who this is based on. Pull your head out and understand exactly what they're telling you. Do you think they're talking about the Hispanic self-made millionaires or the black entrepreneurs who own their own businesses? No friggin' way because they can probably read. Those who can't read are most likely benefiting from those services I mentioned above.

I'm not a bigot, but you, sir, are still a moron. Wake up and hear what they're telling you!

Bunk. Bush only held a standardless situation of counting votes in one county differently from votes in another county, posed an Equal Protection issue. It never said different voting methods ever posed a problem. The Nine Circus simply misread Bush to set aside an election they didn't agree with. Its pushing Bush a lot further than the SCOTUS intended to take it. Under the Nine Circus holding, due to their novel argument that the absence of uniform voting methods within a state is unconstitutional, you've just invalidated every election ever held in our nation's history and in fact - you can never hold a fair election at all since their perfect standard is impossible in practice to meet. Its very clever as is their arrogating to themselves the role of running a STATE election, something our federal system forbids. For what its worth, the California Supreme Court saw NO constitutional problems with holding this recall election, as did TWO Federal District trial courts. The SCOTUS should bitch-slap these Clowns down.

He was always an anarchist, and ran for mayor of San Francisco in 1979.

"Biafra runs for mayor of San Francisco. He finishes fourth out of ten candidates with 6,591 votes, 3 1/2% of the total; helping force a run-off. Mayor Dianne Feinstein's supporters are aghast."

Jello Biafra -

"My platform included banning cars from city limits, making police run for re-election in the neighborhoods they patrolled (practical idea if you ask me), and so on. Proposition 13, a tax initiative, had just passed and the city had laid off 7,000 city employees due to budget cuts. I proposed hiring them back as panhandlers on a 50% commission and sending them to rich neighborhoods and the entrances to private schools."

bump to your 28...I was calling Senators last night about the the excesses of liberal activist judges, telling them to fight for conservatives.

[Peach]

Wow - I'm impressed. I guess I'd better get on the phone myself; I've only sent e -mails so far.
