At least crack a window, it stinks.
And you obviously have a toddler’s mindset. Don’t be late, preschool starts an hour earlier this year.
Posts like this are no different than the muslim crazies.
WTF is wrong w some people?
You vote for the best person regardless of race, religion, etc.
We elect a chief executive of the United States every four years, not the Pope.
More of your childish behavior, tit for tat.
Says the guy who who tatted to begin with and then tatted again.
I know you don’t care about what I want but could I get a really insulting comment from you for my collection? Thanks in advance.
Good! REMEMBER IT!
Here’s how I look at it. I don’t live in a Christian nation anymore, so, what if I lived in, say, France? I have two non-Christian, very secular candidates to choose from. I can stay home and not vote or look at them from a secular point of view. Is one stronger on national defense? Does one have a better plan for building the economy? For sure, ONE will end up being elected so I might as well have my own small say with my vote.
So in other words, you're going to ignore the topic of this thread and hijack it for your own purpose. Why not just start a thread about the merits of atheists in office if you want to discuss that? At last count, there are 68 "non-Christians" in office and only 1 of them (Pete Stark) is "Godless". The other 67 we're discussing have nothing to do with your "Godless" rant.
Impy's right, you have nothing to contribute to this thread but noise and whining that nobody listens to your irrelevant rants.
Excellent points on your part. It’s also notable to remember the parable about the Good Samaritan.
I’d always choose a non-Christian Constitutionalist over a Christian Socialist.
one of the candidates that I campaigned for half-heartedly ... it ended in a tie vote. A Dem primary in the ghetto. 774 to 774
Do I get the credit for avoiding defeat, cuz he woulda lost without me? Or do the get the blame, cuz he woulda won if I spent another 30 minutes on the race?
Or do I get a medal for getting out of the ghetto alive? Or do ya wonder what I was doing there in the first place?
That candidate would be a fool to blame you, given that surely not many Republicans were willing to go into the ghetto to campaign for a Democrat.
What happens now? Coin flip?
well, I was talking about getting the blame from Freeperville.
Plenty of people in the ghetto hate the leftist agenda. They are DEMS, but they see what it is doing to their families.
Recount within a week. I expect we win. If still a tie, re-vote on 9-4. My side would prob lose that one for a variety of reasons.
Well, good luck in the recount then.
How could any FReeper have the gall to blame *you* (of all people) for “not working hard enough” for a candidate? They were all sitting at home watching TV while you were pounding the pavement and knocking on doors (in the ghetto!).
Good to hear that there are still some Florida Evanses left in the ghetto. (Not that Florida Evans or any other character on Good Times was a conservative, but at least Florida knew better than to depend on the government for anything made sure to teach her kids to act morally and be good Christians.)
well, I’m sorta kidding about being to blame. But I did lose my resolve in that race. The indifference of people got to me. Darn thing is: if we lose, I don’t know any conservatives up here who care.
“What difference does one state rep seat make?”, they will say. They say that about 20 times per year, which is why the DEMS had a 2/3 veto=proof majority ...
The libs consider every house seat to be a treasure. Conservatives scoff at them.
go ahead. Call me bitter. Bitter is as bitter does.
If it’s still tied in a recount there’s a revote? What if it ties again? It’s extremely unlikely but...
I’m sure they draw straws or something here, there is really no good way to resolve a tie.
Speaking of close elections, once my late Grandma and her friends were the margin of difference in an extremely close suburban Village President race.
I wish Greenberg had won that CD 5 primary. Everyone who voted for Bernier and Wilson-Foley is a fool.
Idiots, the GOP won the State Senate in 1994 right? It’s hard to imagine that happening today. They should ask Governor LePage how nice it is not to have a Leninist-controlled state house.
I don’t blame the people who voted for Bernier, it is the pro-lifers who were out campaigning for him who are fools.
Bernier is finished as a candidate, conservatives won’t go near him now. He deliberately undermined Greenberg. There was a smear piece against Greenberg in the mail on Monday. Claimed he owes $600k of back taxes.
Yes, the CT GOP had the Senate from 1995-97, though promptly lost it (in part because Dole decided to abandon his campaign in the Northeast, which cost us up there). It has since dwindled to 22D-14R, just 2 seats below a technical 2/3rds (the GOP gained 1 seat in 2010 and another in a 2011 special. From after 2004, they were down 24-12, and had been at 21-15 prior to 2004).
Frustratingly, there were 7 additional seats the Democrats won in that body with less than 10% of the vote in 2010, and if the GOP had swept them all, they would’ve had a 21R-15D majority (interestingly, the Republican, Suzio, who won the special election in 2011, lost by 16% against the disgraced Dem incumbent in ‘10, so it wasn’t even one of those “close” seats). Enough to be a thorn in the ass to the execrable office-stealing Malloy.
I think it is the gerrymandering in the Northeast that accounts for the hyper-Dem majorities, as they shouldn’t be nearly as lopsided. Look at New York. If they can manage to have a GOP Senate with favorable lines, it’s rather telling.
there are a some open Senate seats for the R’s to try to pick up this year. Daily (shoreline) and eastern CT. Manchester is also competitive.
The 6 seats that can be picked up:
Milford
Crisco - woodbridge, no challenge this year
Shoreline - Meyer
Daly - retiring
the eastern Ct seat Sullivan lost is open now
Manchester
We could win 3 this year, if we lose 1 of ours, we are at 20-16.
