From "voter disenfranchisement" to "voter disenchantment." That's cool.

Just defeating the Meathead Initiative is reason enough to vote.

In Santa Clara County between the sales tax increase, the income tax increase, and the proposed additional property taxes, it's a pretty full ballot this time.

We're ALL just sick to death of the Schwartzenrenegger hyperbole!!! We're burned out on it!!! We've tuned 'em ALL completely out!!!

Let 'em all just try to govern this state in ways we "people" don't approve of... Just let 'em see how far they get when they all turn around and find no one's following 'em, except that creep Angelides who will always have the die-hard union drones in lick-step behind him!!! (shudder!)

BUMP!

NO on Prop 81 and Prop 82!

YES on McClintock, Strickland, Parrish and Poochigian!

Take an asertive position in the Republican gubernatorial primary.

Not voting wastes a precious franchise.

Writing in Senator McClintock's name is a counterproductive protest.

Don't vote for the liberal. Vote for one of the three conservative candidates. I'll probably vote for the brakeman.

On Wednesday take pride that the Lt. Gov got 30% more votes than the leading gubernatorial candidate. Stand up, face Burbank and give a heartfelt, up yours salute to Duf and the Pete.

You and I are "united" on sending that message. I'm leaning toward the switchman/brakeman, as well.

Do you suppose that Pill Angelides could be depended upon to veto the faggotization of our children?

No question in my mind.

He said the low voter turnout should give Angelides the edge over state Controller Steve Westly because the Democratic Party and organized labor ...

Good news for Arnold. Though he's just as far left, Westly fits into the "pro-business moderate" costume much better than Angelides.

The "Terminator vs. Arch-Dweeb" debates should be entertaining, at least. ;)

I just voted no on all the Inititives, filled in the McClintock box, and the incumbent Pubbie box for secretary of state, and the Arnold box which precipitated a heart palpitation, and the box for a local county supervisor's race, and sent my ballot in, with rest of the boxes blank. I am in a cranky mood.
