FishNH 11-05-2012, 12:32 PM Get Out and Vote Tomorrow Its your right and your duty as an American!!. :agree: RIJIMMY 11-05-2012, 12:35 PM yeah but, given the choice between a goat poop sandwich or chicken turd nuggets, I'd rather not eat even if its my duty. 1dozenraw 11-05-2012, 12:51 PM yeah but, given the choice between a goat poop sandwich or chicken turd nuggets, I'd rather not eat even if its my duty. Very patriotic. I'm voting... as always. If guys are willing to die to preserve democracy, I am sure going to be willing to exercise my right to make my choice known. fishbones 11-05-2012, 01:12 PM I'll vote tomorrow. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to vote multiple times like this guy. Piscator 11-05-2012, 01:14 PM yeah but, given the choice between a goat poop sandwich or chicken turd nuggets, I'd rather not eat even if its my duty. Then vote as a write in "none of the above". It's still a vote..........and you still have the right to complain no matter who wins. The Dad Fisherman 11-05-2012, 01:32 PM yeah but, given the choice between a goat poop sandwich or chicken turd nuggets, I'd rather not eat even if its my duty. You can always order something not on the menu.... My son is excited because this is his 1st Presidential election he gets to vote in....I'm going to go down there with him and enjoy it. RIJIMMY 11-05-2012, 01:37 PM Very patriotic. I'm voting... as always. If guys are willing to die to preserve democracy, I am sure going to be willing to exercise my right to make my choice known. how is that unpatriotic? trust me, I spend more time in local politics than most and I am very informed in Federal. I think I probably have more posts in our political forum than anyone here, not that that matters. Your choice is limited by what the two parties are providing. Pretty lame choice in IMHO. The choices this cycle suck, plain and simple. A law professor and a lame state governor. Wow. I really feel comfortable putting the lives of my kids in their hands. 1dozenraw 11-05-2012, 02:12 PM OK.. too quick on the keyboard. I don't go on political forums on non-political websites, so I have no way of knowing what is posted there. I vote because that's how we do it in the US. I figure if there are folks defending the process then it deserves my showing up to participate. But that's just me. 1dozenraw 11-05-2012, 02:16 PM :btu:You can always order something not on the menu....

The choices this cycle suck, plain and simple. A law professor and a lame state governor. Wow. I really feel comfortable putting the lives of my kids in their hands. Our two-party dominated system is broken. Both side provide welfare to their voting base - one social welfare and the other corporate welfare - and unfortunately both sides want do stomp on our civil liberties and live within our bedrooms. Dems and Repubs are merely two sides of the same coin. Washington is broken through and through... and that is why when I dropped off my absentee ballot last week, I voted Libertarian.

I defend the process but feel we are being cheated overall. I always vote and plan on doing so this year. I am just so disheartned by the process and candidates.

Saltheart 11-05-2012, 06:17 PM Doesn't matter if you vote for King Tut or Mickey Mouse. Just go so they know we are out here and on any given election day you may decide to vote for or against one of them and not only Mickey. It keeps them on their toes! MAKAI 11-05-2012, 06:40 PM If none of the above was on the ballot, and it got the most votes? Hmmmmmm........ do over with qualified candidates. I vote, but I feel I'm choosing between balls in a vice or pencil in the eye. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device stripermaineiac 11-05-2012, 07:06 PM Oh so true. How'd we end up with 2 idiots to choose from with all the good educated feeling patriots that are out there. Too much greed an welfare on both sides. I'll do my part as I always do. The Dad Fisherman 11-06-2012, 06:00 AM How'd we end up with 2 idiots to choose from with all the good educated feeling patriots that are out there.

Rockfish9 11-06-2012, 09:40 AM it's like the Bruce Willis question in the last boy scout.. head or gut... thy deed be done... but the choices sure are not too sporty... they all are liars and thieves IMHO... and regardelss of what they preach.. none of them really cares about anything but their own well being...and anyone that believes otherwise is only fooling themselves.... if any of them REALLY wanted to make an impact... they would have taken what ever funds were left in their war chests and donated those to all those displaced in New York and New Jersey because of Sandy...now we can look foreward to 4 more years of excuses why they can't keep thier promises.. at least the annoying TV adds will be gone. RIJIMMY 11-06-2012, 09:53 AM I was in and out in TX, less than 5 mins and no line. Rockport24 11-06-2012, 10:08 AM Remember is you DON,t vote ............SHUT THE F UCK UP :wall::wall: :kewl: So damn true! stripermaineiac 11-06-2012, 10:29 AM Voted against both of the idiots.Don't want either tellin me that cause i work I'm the problem. Jim in CT 11-06-2012, 12:46 PM Voted against both of the idiots.Don't want either tellin me that cause i work I'm the problem. Can't imagine why you'd think Romney sees you as the problem? I'm interested in a Massachusetts house race between Sean Bielat and one of the Kennedys. Go to love the Kennedys, who believe (with good reason) that the pubic has bestowed them with a birth right to any job they want in Washington DC. I actualy met Bielat a few times and love him (decorated Marine, very successful businessman), but I gather he's not polling well. Saltheart 11-06-2012, 12:53 PM Got lucky at polls. Big line waiting for A-L , nobody in line at all for M-Z. Got called up to the front , showed ID and voted. In and out in 10 minutes. I always feel good after voting!

I hope he wins and Brown too. stripermaineiac 11-06-2012, 01:39 PM LOL They all think state n municipal employees get paid too much an have it sweet. wanna down size n privetise.LOL no pay raise in 6 yrs an gonna be the same .

Not a bad gig if you don't mind minimum wage plus tips, very little job security and extremely limited benefits. JohnnyD 11-06-2012, 02:09 PM Not a bad gig if you don't mind minimum wage plus tips, very little job security and extremely limited benefits. Why bother when I can just go on the dole and receive my $50k in benefits, free health care, free cell phone and fish whenever I want to? The Dad Fisherman 11-06-2012, 02:31 PM This thread is about reminding people to get out and vote....not pissin and moaning about politics. This is getting close to being cast into the Pit of Despair stripermaineiac 11-06-2012, 02:36 PM Not her it's me. The vac note was about the ist lady's trips. Easy to say just quit when you have 20 yrs in and don't get social securty due to gov retirement plan .Funny how people want to have a safe society but those charged with keeping it that way keep goin without raises an such an seem to be the target of political cheep shots.Just remember that when you do have to call for help or have a dirtbag hurt you or a family member that dealin with it isn't free. Jim in CT 11-06-2012, 02:43 PM I didnt know Bielat was running, I assume for Frank's old seat. I hope he wins and Brown too. Frank's seat doesn't exactly exist. They re-districted, which made that area less liberal, so Frank resigned arther than get humiliated by losing. Bielat is running again against one of the Kennedy royalty. So in this election, Massachusetts could send a Kennedy and Princess Spreading Bull to DC. Awesome. fishbones 11-06-2012, 02:45 PM Not her it's me. The vac note was about the ist lady's trips.

Ron, I'm guessing your government retirement plan will be better than my social security if there's even anything left when I retire. And I'm not taking any cheap shots at what you do. It's a hard job for sure. I have family members who work in prisons and as police officers. For the record, I haven't had a raise in almost 4 years and my company could fire me at any time. I would think you have better job security after 20 years than a lot of ther rest of us have. My post was more about people wating to complain about stuff like they have no choice. There's always a choice. MAKAI 11-06-2012, 02:45 PM Going on the dole sounds good to me. Tired of busting my ass. I want to chillax now. Sleep in, wait for the postman and fish.

I was fishing/practice conventional casting at the end of the road by the boat launch at Quonnie. Two newer, large pickups pulled up and 3 men around my age (60s) got out. I noted some stickers on the trucks relating to the military and NRA and The Flag of These United States displayed prominently. As the three approached they were loudly expressing their displeasure with the outcome of the election. I listened but decided not to participate. But after a minute or two I heard one or two of these folks express a desire that "the g.d. fool" (might have been an SOB in there as well) screw everything up and an "I hope he really makes a mess of things". At this point I decide to ask a couple of questions. I said, "You all are patriots... correct?" They acknowledged that they were to a man, definitely patriots. I then asked, "Well then could you explain how patriots like yourselves would justify hoping that the democratically elected President of These United States would screw everything up and make a real mess of things?" We fished on in absolute silence. I was grateful that I had asked these questions.. and grateful the I wasn't one of the guys who were asked. No matter who wins tonight, I will pray for his success.
