Went and voted! I am THANKFUL that I will not have to hear another political ad on TV or radio for awhile... :thumbsup:

[prairieschooner]

Done! but I am from the state of Fruits and Nuts so not sure that it matters in the Big Picture. Still I have done my part and exercised my right to vote!

[larryweikart]

Cast my vote this am! "if you don't vote you have no right to complain!"

[Chipper]

I voted. Just waiting to see which way it goes. Fingers are crossed and I just hope the voter fraud is somehow minimized. I have a family member who works for Diabold and they say these machines can be minipulated which scares the hell out of me when I think about it.

Go to this site to report any voter fraud.

With the deep division in this country having this evenly rediculous two-party system, half of us will always be at odds with our political outcomes. We need a mass exodus from both of the dominating party's to build a stronger third party.

One thing to always remember with this type of two party system and that is about half the nation is very happy and the other half is upset. So, now we move on til the next one.

No, now we will be hearing about how we're moving forward. :laugh:

[folivier]

I agree the 2 party system doesn't work and hasn't for a while now. BUT, what to do? I've always felt that voting for a 3rd party candidate takes away votes from the conservative candidate and conservative voters are the ones most like to be disallusioned with the so-called republican conservatives. Maybe I'm wrong.
The Tea Party revival a few years ago started out great, but the media demonized them (us) and a lot of conservatives elected on TP principles ended up supporting the same-old liberal/progressive/moderate policies. We need a real strong conservative to bring us back. I thought Mitt was a good start but too many people have fallen into the trap of "free stuff". And those taking the "free stuff" will be so busy enjoying it and thinking that "whitey/rich/conservatives" finally got theirs while they "got theirs" that they will just sit idly by while losing more freedoms.
I quit being politically correct quite a few years ago and will not hold my tongue.
How about a caravan down to Panama? If I could talk the wife into it I would be on my way.

[Newell Attack]

Forest,

:dito: I'm in!!! When does the caravan leave????

Jeff

[Neweller]

:dito:Forest you are so right. Only thing I will add is that both party's are pretty much hijacked and I guess that coincides with the FDR statement of selection. I truly believe offshore bankers have a lot of control over a lot of candidates since they control the money. Like the saying goes, follow the money. They are using us against one another to create this collective thinking vs. our individual thinking. There will be a lot of hell to pay and live through before anything will ever have a chance of cycling through it all and it will probably take more than most of us have time left in this life.

Which makes a caravan out of this place very fruit bearing in so many ways. Ecuador diesel prices are around $1.27 a gallon and not much more for unleaded gas.

They will be bringing on the Carbon Tax right away to supposedly curve greenhouse gasses which they are saying caused Hurricane Sandy. Watch your wallets! California just passed a huge tax raising bill. There will be over 100 coal producing plants shut down in quick order. A mass exodus of wealth is heading out of our beloved country.

What happened to Ross Perot?

[MrE]

What happened to Ross Perot?

I was hoping that Ron Paul would have gotten the Republican nomination. I personally think that he's the only one with big enough huevos to really make a difference.

[Neweller]

Jon, I'm with you on this one. I think we are now turning into Ameritopia.

[prairieschooner]

Yep, this is really an Obummer.

[speedingsport]

Thats a good one Steve.

[Barthman]

Here is some of what our bureaucrats are up to: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/6125-proposed-regulations-and-notifications-posted-last-90-days-average-68-day

Looks to me like they are not wasting to much time creating some more regulations.

States filing petition to secede from the United States

As of Saturday November 10, 2012, 15 States have petitioned the Obama Administration for withdrawal from the United States of America in order to create its own government.

States following this action include: Louisiana (http://www.examiner.com/topic/louisiana), Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York. These States have requested that the Obama Administration grant a peaceful withdrawal from the United States.

These petitions were filed just days after the 2012 Presidential election (http://www.politico.com/2012-election/).

Louisiana was the first State to file a petition a day after the election by a Michael E. from Slidell, Louisiana. Texas was the next State to follow by a Micah H. from Arlington, Texas.

The government allows one month from the day the petition is submitted to obtain 25,000 signatures in order for the Obama administration to consider the request.

The Texas petition reads as follows:

The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA (http://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/ndaa), the TSA (http://www.tsa.gov/), etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

As of 12:46 am, Sunday, signatures obtained by Louisiana, 7,358; Texas, 3,771; Florida, 636; Georgia, 475; Alabama, 834; North Carolina, 792; Kentucky, 467; Mississippi, 475; Indiana, 449; North Dakota, 162; Montana, 440; Colorado, 324; Oregon, 328; New Jersey, 301 and New York, 169. Many more States are expected to follow.

A petition is not searchable at WhiteHouse.gov (http://www.whitehouse.gov/) until 150 signatures have been obtained. It is the originator's responsibility to obtain these signatures.

Interesting how all this works. I see Texas is almost halfway to the needed 25k and its only been a couple of days. No doubt they will get what needed. I find it hard to believe that Washington will honor the right of any of these sovereign states.

I just heard today that Kansas and Missouri have told the US gov. they will not go along with Obamacare and will be offering their own state healthcare. I believe the states should have their own say in this.
