For my 1,000th post celebrate participation in democracy

Edited on Mon Mar-20-06 02:28 AM by RGBolen

What was the last election you voted in for and did your candidate or position win?

Mine was a city bond issue and it lost. :-(

1. 'Special Election' California

shoved down our throats to the tune of $50+ million by the Goobernator. Yes, we won! He has now
acknowledged that he was a dumbshit to even try it.

2. It's hard to forget Kerry in 2004

That was very difficult for me, especially since early results indicated he would win (and more recent analysis suggests that he did).

Congratulations on the occasion of your 1Kth post :toast:

Baby steps but it's not a bad thing.

4. A school levy... that lost!

Would have added three bucks on to their taxes... the cheap &#(*#&$s.

Congratulations on your 1000th post! :toast:

5. I voted for John Kerry and I was outraged that the election

was rigged in Ohio.

8. I was disgusted with the local coverage of that night.

When the numbers in Ohio suddenly flipped over to Bush, one of the anchors just checked her list of states, checked Ohio, and said, well, Ohio's gone for Bush. Didn't even freakin' blink! But me, I was sitting on my couch, and up until then, had been feeling optimistic. But when they called Ohio for Bush, I started crying. I KNEW! I KNEW WHAT THEY HAD DONE!!

10. Me, too. I was on the phone with my mom. We couldn't even

say anything for a long time. Because we knew it was stolen right in front of our eyes.

That was a bad night.
