Done, I was impressed at the turnout too. No parking at 7:05 AM, lines almost out the door at our local middle school.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

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.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

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.

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 didnt know Bielat was running, I assume for Frank's old seat.
I hope he wins and Brown too.

Nobody is forcing her to stay at that job. If it's that bad, she should quit and get a better job. We're always hiring at my place of employment. 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?

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.

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.

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.
