American Members: Remember to Vote today!

Soft*Silver · 11-02-2010, 11:27 AM

Congrats to those who vote. I voted already. New town, new place to vote but there I was.

For those who chose not to vote, after today, I dont want to hear a single complaint about anything political.

LipstickLola · 11-02-2010, 11:34 AM

Get out to vote!! Thus the right to gloat!! or........

(I'm sooooooo skeered there will be no gloating this time)

AtLast · 11-02-2010, 01:43 PM

I did! Thanks for the thread.................

We will not be stopped by Tea Bag zealouts and bigots! They might gain some seats, but in 2012, they will be leaving!! Hopefully then, a real Democratic majority will take over and all the insane deadlock will stop and what needs to be done, gets done!

This economy is slowly recovering. It sux that it is so slow, but, what it endured was never experienced before in the US and is a global situation. Let the GOP and tea baggers gloat if they take over the House or even the Senate because then people will get the gravity of what happened. They won't be able to make much of a difference in the recovery. Let them take the blame, AGAIN!!

Moderate Republicans with brains are quite OK by me, too! Don't have a problem with them, really.

Such short memories in this country .......

I am a nervous WRECK waiting for the returns, I can't focus.

I voted early. It was disheartening how many repubs ran unopposed or against only a libertarian. The number of unopposed repub judges was especially high. People know here - dems don't win. Resistance is futile in small town tx.

Ps. I hope Sharon angle doesn't beat Reid.

Okay, here's a little political levity for a little lighthearted chuckle.

Courtesy of the Harry Reid/Sharron Angle campaign race, here in Nevada.

katsarecool · 11-02-2010, 03:12 PM

I voted two weeks ago, straight Dem ticket!!!! I am also anxious for tonight. I hope all the Tea Party candidates crash and burn tonight. I feel for you folks in Nevada, California, Delaware, etc, for the nutjobs on your ballots.

In a way, the Tea Partiers will divide the Republican votes; pulling the extreme fanaticals away from the mainstream Republican party. I hope anyway!

SmoothButch · 11-02-2010, 03:45 PM

I voted this afternoon in Virginia. Democrat all the way.

(2 years is not enough time to repair 8 years of inherited damage.)

Me too! One hopeful thing about Angle is that she really is a loon. If elected, maybe she will be booted on mental health issues!

That race in Nevada is the one that bothers me the most. I don't think Reid is effective as Senate majority Leader and it is time for someone else, but I don't want to see him out of the Senate completely.

Well, here in Nevada, Senator Reid has done a pretty decent job for us. As most everyone here knows, I work for the VA, and without the big push from Sen. Reid and my other favorite Congressional representatives, Shelley Berkley (D-NV), and Dina Titus (D-NV), we wouldn't be getting this new VA Medical Center and nursing home complex that is slated to open, here in Las Vegas, in 2012. Senator Reid and Ms. Berkley, in particular, have always been staunch supporters of both Veterans and federal employees. Nevada has gotten a *lot* of good things because our "Man from Searchlight" has been the Senate Majority Leader. Harry Reid stood up against the mob here in Vegas and made them clean up the gaming industry, making Las Vegas a world class entertainment and gambling mecca. He also worked very hard to keep Nevadans safe from the hazards of having a national nuclear waste dump made of Yucca Mountain. That would have been only a few miles up the road from my house and I didn't want that in my back yard.

Oh, and I guess I should mention, as a side note, that Senator Reid happens to be a Mormon, but what I respect the most about this man and his faith is that he has never allowed his faith to interfere with his support of just causes, including equal rights for the GLBTQ community and especially the repeal of DADT. Here's an excerpt from an article published by the Las Vegas Sun:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010...al-unfair-law/

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, an advocate of repealing the law, deserves credit for attaching that proposal to the defense bill. He could have taken the easy road during an election year and ducked the issue. But we send senators to Washington to make tough decisions and Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has shown repeatedly that he is more than up to that task."

I, for one Nevadan, am very much a supporter of our "Man from Searchlight", Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and I was very happy and proud to cast my vote for him.

I am going to be extremely disappointed and surprised if that nut job, Sharron Angle, pulls out a win against him. Nevada would lose, in a HUGE way, if she were to be elected, not to mention the loss to the nation of such a good and just man.

Being on the NC border, our "local" news is broadcast out of Winston-Salem or Greensboro. We don't have a local VA station. That said, I am curious to see who will be voting for this guy.

OK, now that someone with first hand info has spoken... I take it back! I am totally behind the things you are talking about here for our vets and troops. I stand corrected!

Please... please ... no Angle! I guess it went into today really close, but, I am going to keep the faith!
