I know this isn't really minatures related, but today is election day. If you can vote, no matter your political affiliation, vote!

I though it was important enough for this forum.

WAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

In all fairness, I didn't see your thread. But I think it's important that it is posted in the part of the forum that receives th emost traffic, and it is technically news.

Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos!

In the words of the Immortal bard:

Why vote for the lesser evil? Vote Cthulu in 2008!

I voted straight American Communist Party because People's Daily said only Marxism can explain the current financial crisis.

I personally voted for the HypnoToad.

All Hail HypnoToad!

All Hail HypnoToad!

All Hail Hypno Toad!

All Hail Hypno Toad!

Hypno Toad FTW!

All Hail Hypno Toad!

But yeah, isn't this kind of spam? Many of us aren't from the US and well...over here we've been saturated with the US elections! Damn the US elections get more coverage than our own elections for crying out loud! Who cares if Obama or McCain wins... To quote a tagline from a horrible movie which raped two perfectly fine franchises:

"Whoever wins, we lose..."

yeah,
Why vote, one vote doesn't change anything...

HA!


Panic....

i wont be voting there all LIARS.

But anyway, just to keep this thread on track...

All Hail Hypnotoad!!

Apparently, if you vote, you can get a free coffee at Starbucks.

I'm pretty sure this is a brain-washing technique used by the illuminati, and I voted this morning and was going to vote anyway, but really, coffee.

It is illegal to offer anything in exchange for voting or for registering to vote.

It has been established that free-market capitalism merely leads to rampant greed and exploitation and results in an inevitable financial collapse. Well good old Karl Marx warned us about all this almost what 150 years ago?

Yay for socialism, shoot the capatalist, man the baricades etc etc...

Though to be fair Marx seems to be right in Das capital about alot of the stuff that is happening at the moment

I live in Washington state which is going to Obama by a large margin no matter who I vote for. That being said, I'm still voting because there are local issues that need to be addressed. Those of you in "safe" states need to take that into account, too, and vote.

Don't like Obama. Don't like McCain's choice for VP. I will voice my choice by not voting. That way I can gripe at whoever wins and say "well, I didn't vote for them." Besides, Rush (the band) said in the song Free Will; "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Unless Hypno-Toad gets elected, then I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Or Cthulhu. Or Papa Nurgle.

I wonder how much money goes down the drain in such never ending campaigns?
But yeah I'm sick and tired of US elections and I live in Portugal...

The same stuff was happening when he wrote his theories. Yet he forgot that humans are innovative and always find solutions to the current problems. Things got better then, they'll get better now.


Back OT: I'm writing in Teh Spase Emperor for 2008!

I know there is a lot of non-Americans on this board, which is why I qualified the subject. It isn't spam because the majority of people on this board is probably eligible to vote.

I agree with the above that say there are local issues wherever you live that requires your attention above the Presidential Campaign.

I personally hope, whoever wins, they win by a decent margin. I live in Florida and the first election I voted in was 2000, don't want to repeat that anytime soon.

If you hate both people on the presidential ticket, write in "HypnoToad!". He did well at the debates...

I voted, went rather quick, much to my surprise.

Hopefully the trend of "picking the lesser of two evils" goes away.
