VOTE

General

Sorry for straying from our regular content, but we felt compelled to remind readers that today is November 4. The official Bold launch is hardly the only interesting news – today also happens to be the day we will elect our 44th President. If you are registered to do so, please, do us and yourself a favor. Take a break at some point today, head down to the polls and vote. Obama/Biden, McCain/Palin, BG/Jibi, whatever. Just vote. This election will already go down in history for a variety of reasons and it will likely be the most important election of our lifetime. Do your part. If making history isn’t enough incentive, hit the jump and listen to our friends over at Cornell University. They want you to vote so badly, well, you’ll see.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…

    “Support out troops @ home and abroad.”

    The best support that we can give our troops is to pull them out of harms way.

    lol @ skyefalcon

    I voted about 5 hours ago, my poor wife whom has been monitoring everything this year, didnt get to vote, because some McCain rep, was at our house trying to get her to mail in vote, and she asked him well if I dont get it mailed or something happens can I still go vote normally. He said yes. (she messed up her mailin (used a blackmarker)) and so she went to go vote and they wouldnt let her :( she was so upset argggggggggg. She had to do a provisional, which wont be counted for 2 weeks i guess. Never the less she spent all morning researching provisional votes and what and how they are used.

    @JustMe: I whole heartily agree on the whole obligation to be informed. Hence I included the whip about watching schoolhouse rock.

    However, “truth” is relative. Everyone has an opinion just like they have assholes. There is more disinformation floating around than real hard facts

    Election Campaigns: Stretched Truths, Misquotations, Mudslinging, Complete and Utter Lies and False Promises. If you go looking around, 98% of the information out there is biased, tainted or complete bullshit. Worse than Fox News & Philadelphia Inquirer together, times 214.

    @BlankReg: Philly here also brother! Phillies: World “Fucking” Champions. I had that DVR’d – Not even bleeped out! I drank from Wednesday night straight through till Friday night, then took a red-eye Friday night out to Seattle for the Eagles/Seahawks game. Witnessed a shooting in Seattle. Screamed my head off, got into a bunch of fights. I have no voice and I’m back on duty tomorrow morning. Good Time.

    Now we just need the Eagles to grip it up and at least snatch a division title. The Flyers got their heads of their asses and started winning also.

    @SkyeFalcon: Ordered mine on AT&T’s website 20 minutes ago.

  • Lily

    Wow! This was really fun to read! Thank you BG for encouraging everyone to make their voice heard. I voted, and anxiously await the next 4 years.

    @Richard: Unfortunately, provisional ballots usually get thrown out. They were introduced as an alternative to several previously identified reasons why someone couldn’t vote.

    But, with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), nobody could be told they couldnt vote so the Provisional was created.

    Don’t live in the District you’re trying to vote in and don’t want to be told you can’t vote where you don’t live? No problem, just fill this here form out. Congrats, you voted. PS, It doesn’t count, but hey, we didn’t tell you you couldnt vote.

    HAVA nice day.

  • skyefalcon

    @MadMike: Hope your data plan works. Been having issues with mine all day and may need to call ATT to troubleshoot.

  • MadMike

    Does the 3G Data plan costs more money than the EDGE data plan? You have to pay the AT&T tax to play. $399.99 for the phone, $15.00 overnight shipping + another $10.00 a month just to use it.

    Of course, I charged it to the business accounts bill – so I paid nothing personally.

    The only people I know that voted for McCain are either rich or retarded. Or both.

  • MadMike

    Everyone was doing so nicely, and then some idiot has to make an idiot comment. People have different interests. Obviously you are uneducated, undereducated or just plain suck at life. You don’t have much money, probably no health care and you are angry at people who are financially secure. You justify your inadequacies with the notion that people who do better than you are retarded or are just voting for the BIG BAD RED R because it serves them more than it serves you.

    You sir are closed minded and stupid. You believe that the Democrats will give you that fantastical lifestyle that you seem unable to keep a hold of. How many credit cards do you have? 4, 5? How much average debt? $3,000 – $4,000? That is your doing. That new XBox, yeah not necessary. That’s a luxury. If you want luxury, get a masters and get a job that pays.

    You think the democrats will make that go away? I highly doubt you were old enough when the last democrat was in office. That and usually in Macroeconomics – policies that a president passes usually take 10 years to matriculate. So what you see now, was the effect of what happened 10 years ago. GUESS what party was in power, both in congress and the presidency 10 years ago? Yeah, that’s right – your precious Obama’s party. A guy with nary a term of any real political office under his belt. Are you just banking that he stayed in a holiday express inn last night?

    Most politicians are lying sacks of shit – BOTH Democrat and Republican. The top 10% of financial earners pay 90% of the US’s income taxes. You sir, obviously think that you shouldn’t pay your fair share of taxes, right?

    Everyone who makes over $12,500 a year is required to pay income taxes. If they drop your taxes by 1% only nets you $125. Not enough to even pay for the new Blackberry Bold with taxes in Canada. However, someone who makes $1,250,000 a 1% decrease nets them what the other person makes a year.

    You sir are the retarded person. If you don’t like it, move to Canada.

    the major mistake of mccain was picking Palin, for gaining Hillary supporters
    but he missed a cold truth, most of Hillary supporters are loyal Democrats, it’s a lot difficult to gain them
    if Palin is smart, it’ll be fine, but it turned out a burden of McCain
    he should have chance to turn around to offer completely different ideas from Bush, but it’s too late now
    congrats Obama

    MY HAPPIEST MOMENT IN AMERICA….OBAMA!!!

  • Kip

    And America is now ruined.

  • Celz

    Yea none of the garbage.. Obama and McCain would be light years ahead of Bush.. I voted for Obama not because Im black, I was leaning Edwards in the Primary.. I wouldnt have minded a McCain president, him and Hillary would have been a helluva choice but Palin was a complete joke, with Huckabee and Romney right there I think Palin might have cost McCain the election. But anyways thats all water under the bridge.. We all have to support Obama now just like we supported dumb ass Bush for 8 years…

  • Celz

    @ Keymaker Obama has more tax cuts for the middle class than McCain does what are you talking about my dear friend. The only people that will be affected by Obamas Tax Hikes are Entertainers, the top small business owners, C.E.O’s, people who win the lottery, heirs like Paris Hilton, and maybe a few doctors and engineers. Seriously what small business makes a quarter mil profit, what job has a quater mil salary?? Not too many..

    But dont vote on Taxes thats selfish as hell.. No matter where your family came from your forefathers put a helluva lot more into building this country than paying some damn taxes.. People voting over a couple of tax percentages should be ashamed of yourselves.. If you cant adjust your spending a few percentage points your living well beyond your means..

  • Word is Bond

    @MadMike: Why are you catching feelings? It’s just the internet. Sit back and enjoy four years of Obama.

  • Kip

    @ Word is Bond.
    Sit back and suffer through 4 years of Obama.
    Do you think he’ll make his illegal Aunt go back to Kenya?

  • http://www.k5live.com likeabite

    @ Kip…What he chooses to do with his “illegal aunt” is none of our concern. We have more pressing matters to worry about and the guy already won so get over it. Crying and bitching is not going to put McCain in the White House…maybe you could’ve made that argument when he still had a chance.
