That's right people! Sorry... I'm a closet political freak! Up here in Maine, it's a pretty important election. Things could change drastically. They need to change, but not how our current gubernatorial front runner wants to change things. He's a scary man.

Anywho...get out there tomorrow!!!!

Too bad ron paul can't just be our dictator.

Voting? crap, crap...crap...and crap.

Frizzle, you missed the shows, you can't vote: Can you still have fun.

The ultimate goal is social freedom. But we'll never get there without economic freedom.

Live for whomever you want freely. But never demand someone to live for you.

You have a choice: the puppet on the left, or the puppet on the right.

While it is not your duty to vote....

....it is your right and responsibility.

Just take the five minutes out of your day and show up.

The lesser of 2 evils is still evil in my book.

FUCK THE WINGS AND FLY THE DAMN PLANE!!

I have the chance to vote yes tomorrow to downsize my local government. And I will vote yes.

It's funny how you ran down the Tea Party people and are going to vote for their agenda....less spending, smaller government.

All I know is that the republican gubernatorial candidate for NYS is straight up nuts! I will surly be going the other way. However not too fond of that guy either.

less spending and smaller government are the only way to get things back on track.

Yeah, I remember how great the economy, international relations, and standard of living was from 2000- 2008. I think it is funny that Obama is being blamed for things that did not happen during his term.

I agree..when I voted for pres. I knew whoever got it would be very unpopular. I live in Ohio and jobs and foreclosures are still peeking but gettin better..the economy is slowly turning around..I mean, it took 8 years for it to be totally destroyed, so it's not gonna get better overnight..my fear, and this is not hating on Repubs. but that party is being so vocal because if they win the house back on this, and because the economy is gaining ground, in two years at the Primary elections, they will say it was because of them and ride the wave back into the White House. The economy will get better, and they will then take credit for something they didn't do, and put us in this mess to begin with. the top 2% of the wealthiest peoples money does not get the economy back on track like the 98%'s people dollars floating around buying things..these are the folks that make the economy go round, not ones who invest it all and buy yachts...the little guy going to Walmart or Best Buy more then usual.

Sorry, I am a political phreak too.

Right on Halleysphun!

I'm a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, so election time for me is always voting for the lesser of two evils. The economy is the main issue I'm voting on this election. I just hope that the jokers I vote for to get our economy in shape, don't violate people's social freedoms down the road.

Aparently you can't be a fan of phish and be a concervative... Blind liberals continue to follow the mesiah. Have fun watching "change" tomorrow night!

I think that's really good insight on the out come of these elections. However the wealthiest 2% are the people who control the flow of money. They have the power and make the decisions that effect lives.

Also, did you hear about this OH story?:

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has launched an investigation after the owner of a McDonald’s restaurant in Canton, Ohio warned workers that they won’t receive any raises if Democrats win on Tuesday. When workers at the McDonald’s received their paycheck, they also received a note from the restaurant’s owner listing the Republican candidates to vote for. The McDonald’s owner wrote, “If the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels. If others are elected we will not."

If you disagree with me fine, if you vote you're alright by me. No matter how you vote.

Hope.

If you live in california you better get your ass to the polls and vote on prop 19, i'd give a lot for that opportunity

@LouisvillePhan said:

Forget all this Left and Right ideological bullcrap. We've been brainwashed to think in the narrow framework they want us to. Its not about Democrat vs Republican, it never was.

Its about the very few elite billionaire Haves, and how they can keep the rest of us Have Nots controlled and pacified without enough of us figuring it out and overthrowing them for some more egalitarian system.

If you want to simply know the TRUTH about what is going on with our government and our society,
read up on some Noam Chomsky.

/End rant.

Oh and vote YES for prop 19!

Listen to RATM much?!

And ditto, prop 19.

@LouisvillePhan said:

No, other way around. I'm pretty sure RATM listens to Chomsky. Tom morello did go to Harvard.

Yeah, I know. Was just kind of kidding, seeing that it seems you might know what you're talking about. I think I may have heard Zach quote Chomsky before, now that I think about it....now I need to do some looking around.

But at least we can spell.

And another thing, you comment is a good example of why the political discourse has gone so sour. Name calling is not political discussion, it is sad chest thumping.

The "messiah" huh? Blind huh? Oh and nice slam with the "change" comment. Watch Fox news much?

Gross generalizations accomplish nothing. My politics are liberal and I am far from blind about them. I keep up on the topics, I fact check, I have honest respectable discussions with people I work with that have different political views. And you know what, no name calling.

Sorry can't help myself, I am extremely political and have refrained from saying anything on these boards that would indicate that, but because it is election day one post won't hurt. I am refraining from posting a really long rant.

If you're gonna get upset at generalizations and name calling, at least be objective and call out those who say *tea bagger* as well. Hate comes from both sides. Your spelling comment was as bad as the 'change' one.

Good point, to my credit the post I responded to was one of the only posts I read, but your right and I appreciate the call out.

And as for the spelling comment I have to disagree. Sure I should have said but at least I can spell, instead of we. That was a quick jab about a post with bad spelling not a generalization about tea party people.

Right on brother! Everyone has a different ideal or feeling about their own personal polilitics. While objective discourse is great, I like talking about Phish on this forum the most. Today is special and different, but I can't wait for the elections to be over and we can get down to guessing what Phish is gonna play for New Years!!!!! Our vote is our voice, no matter what we all say.
