SciFi writers are generally to the left of Stalin, so it’s nice to see one who is moderate for a change.

Well, I reckon Robert Heinlein and Jerry Pournelle aren’t ‘left of Stalin’…

grok?

I’m sure you meant, “moron”.

That works too. ;)

…you should know that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is also LDS (Mormon).

I absentee voted a couple of weeks ago. Straight R, mainly because the D’s are too horrible to think about right now.

Always liked Orson Scott Card, both his books and his commentary (even though I don’t always agree with him). SciFi writers are generally to the left of Stalin, so it’s nice to see one who is moderate for a change.

Card, like Romney, is Mormon. It surprises me that he would be a lifelong Dem. I really didn’t figure a member of a conservative faith, like the LDS Church, would be a member of the pro-abortion party.

EL – If you want something that will really blow your mind, you should know that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is also LDS (Mormon).

Bacadog,
Gaskins and Broad. Likewise. Can’t vote twice. Not dead yet.

That cartoon/Kos/Inconvenient Truth You Tube clip is the single best on-topic thing I’ve ever seen. Wow.

Voted early near Ashland, but I work in the west end. Just moved from Henrico to country. Maybe I should check my old polling place to make sure I was removed, just to keep everyone honest.

Far West End Henrico for me. Back behind Stranges Florist.

Hell, go to your old polling place and vote again!! (just kidding)

Nice to see a fellow Richmonder here.

I’m whoring in this thread, but why is it always the same democrat-run cities that have “irregularities”? St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Cleveland…

Vote. Please. I did, even though my voting in solidly Republican Gwinnett County, GA., as a Republican, marking a straight Republican ticket, won’t reshape the world, at least I respected those who have given their ultimate to preserve and protect my right to do so.
So vote. Please.

Being particularly motivated, I tried to vote twice. Apparently they frown on that in Louisiana :(

You must be new to Louisiana. You have to pay for the second vote.

It’s a rainy day in Georgia…all day long. No problem for the hunters and fisherman, who all have camo rainsuits. Big problem for the Dems who, as John Kerry told us two years ago, have prettier hair.

I wonder if the GOVERNOR of South Carolina when he wasn't allowed to vote in his own precinct? On the flip side, at least SC makes you show SOMETHING to prove you are who you say you are!

Tempting Fate…

The first sparks of punditry from the left aren’t very optimistic, Russels Simmons is stumping for Michael Steele, and its not Diebold but rather terrorist squirrels that appear to be causing the most trouble today. Dare we say that this……

The anti-semitism exuded by the democrats is just creepy these days. That kos (lgf) video is very eye-opening.

Even though I said before the Katherine Harris is, in my mind, the lowest form of politician (brokering her fame into power, thereby screwing other republicans in this state), I pinched my nose and voted for her, because the alternatives were worse.

He’s a darn good Sci-Fi writer, so I guess I can forgive him his trespasses :)

Orson Scott Card is smart enough to realized that our enemies in the WOT aren’t really just nice bugs that are trying to communicate with us. Yips to him.
