Note to all, only the second quote (the one about Fishman) is from me. ;)
I don’t know how I’d vote in that district. I’ve been thinking Tisei is one of the few Republicans I’d rather see lose but just reading some comments by pro-Tierney idiots really (ticked) me off. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate democrats so much I’m tempted to support the RINO out of pure spite.
If I decided not to I guess I’d vote for the sucky Fishman just cause he’s the only other choice, as a big F you to both parties. Not voting or writing in some random conservative isn’t my style. When it looked like Luis Gutierrez was set to not have a GOP foe I was set to vote for the Green.
I wrote in “Dick Nixon” against an unopposed rat (City Treasurer I think) once. It really POed the election people cause the late President was not a registered write in candidate which you have to be here in IL. ;) I’m sorely tempted do something like that for every unopposed race rather than undervoting. Due to my youngish age and (same for entire adulthood) location I’m betting I’m one of the few people here who has never seen anyone but the rat incumbents on the ballot for State legislature.
FYI the GOP candidate running in the safe rat MA-5th is named....Tom Tierney. He should be running in the 6th!
RE: Kolbe (Evanston Native), he outed himself in ‘96 in order to beat Larry Flynt to the punch and was reelected 5 times till he retired (’96 was a huge landslide for him) . The traitorous SOB then refused to back the conservative who ran against Giffords for his open seat and stopped supporting the ‘08 candidate against her when that guy, a state senator, voted against gay marriage.
His Wikipedia page says he wanted to get rid of the penny. What a queer idea. You can’t make exact change impossible!!!
Tisei would be the first openly gay non-incumbent Republican. And I think only the second gay man in total. I think rat Cicciline in RI-1 was the first and all the others only came out later when forced to. He’s caught in a scandal and could lose even though the district is the more liberal of the 2 in the state. Tammy Baldwin couldn’t hide it if she tried so she was the first avowed homosexual non-incumbent.
The rather okay looking rat lady in the new AZ-9, in unfortunate event of her victory, would be the first bisexual. She’s not ugly enough to be a full on lesbo. First race between a Lindsey Lohan lesbian and a Black Republican! How interesting.
get rid of the penny. round everything to the nearest nickel.
today they round everything to the nearest penny. They got rid of the half penny.
I wonder if a vendor such as McDonalds stopped taking pennies whether there be an uproar. $1.06 becomes $1.05.
Polis from CO-02 was openly gay when first elected two years before Cicilline.
