And another thing which I have no enthusiasm for


Utah Bob #35998

Recommended Posts

Watching one of the anchor dudes swimming in the sea of hyperbole about the debate tonight, I realized there's still 2 DANG WEEKS 'TILL THE ELECTION. :blink:

I spend 5 minutes at the post office throwing away political flyers and the evening is spent deleting Vote For Me messages on the machine.

 

I am sooo sick of politicians and their sleazy lying campaign managers! :angry: Arrrrrrgggggghhh!

Don't feel bad, you're not alone. We've had the phone ringer shut off for 2 weeks....

 

And you should have seen the scumbag that showed up at our door one night last week. Long scraggly dreadlocks, full beard, dirty t-shirt and jeans. I opened the door and this bum asked to talk to my daughter! I almost yelled to Buick to grab a shotgun, but got myself under control long enough to tell this bum that Ellen was away at college. He then proceeds to try and get me to agree to listen to his speil about who he was trying to gather support for in the election....

 

Felt SO good slamming the door in his face!!! :angry:

Tex, yours may... and I hope it does.

 

I'm one of a bunch of folks who clearly understand that ours will NOT make a difference in the President and Senator elections. :(

 

But BY GOLLY wait'll they count the Dog Catcher and Mosquito Abatement Board ballots!!! ;):FlagAm:

"you can fool all of the people some of the time."

I usually watch Fox News and lately it's all debate,debate,debate!! Drives me nuts! I watched 2 episodes of Gunsmoke tonight instead of Fox and I never seen either of 'em before. I love that show. I think I'm gonna swear off on politics, I'll vote pro-gun but I'm not paying attention to all this BS anymore!

 

Someone said that BOTH Romney and Nobama have visited my fair state of Ohio a record number of times because it's a "battleground state". When either is elected we'll never see 'em again until the next election! What a bunch of BS, ALL OF 'EM!

 

Grrrr....................

Springfield Lil and I already know our votes don't count. No one campaigns here, neither of the candidates or their running mates live in the state and the national media has been telling us for months that only states like Ohio, Florida, California and Colorado matter to these two yahoos.

 

But we will perform our solemn duty on Election Day and cast our ballots, then come home and see how the two parties divided the pie.

We're far enough removed where we don't get the door-to-door nuisances. We haven't gotten many phone calls either. I'll be glad when this whole mess is over.

Calico, had a feller from that same group I think come by and ask for my daughter. All I said while holding my big white dog was "NOT INTERESTED" before I shut the door.

 

I shoulda thought to sic the cat on him, that would guarantee there would be no return visit! Must be the whole "new voter" thing....

I never would let any of them in! I'm pretty sure this guy was really campaigning for a candidate, for some reason those groups get info on brand new voters and then specifically target them to try and influence their vote. Ellen just registered this year, she was eligible last year but there really wasn't any kind of election. The guy knew her name, just didn't know she lives 4 hours west...

Had a feller pull up 4 years ago while I was flingin' birds in the air and bustin' em'....... Had a SxS in my hands and pointed well away from the driveway.......When he pulled up, he rolled down the window as I made a shot (a hit at that) and I glanced back at him........He said "Have you given any thought to your vote this election?" As I loaded I replied "Sure have".

 

He started to talk and I interupted him by saying (As I faced well away from his car) "Ya probably better leave.....I'd hate to miss and hit yer car by mistake!"

 

..........I didn't even watch him pull out to see what the bumper sticker said.

 

Nowadays the UPS guy is about the only one that comes around. :unsure:

Utah Bob et al, Tune it ALL out....I do. (Surprised by that from one who writes a political column?)

 

The only event of ANY significance occurs on 6 November. The rest is simply repetitive and insignificant distraction, irritation, distortion and noise at this point.

 

Just the view from my political saddle! :D

Having a 'No Soliciter' sign works for us - it's illegal (at least in our township) for anyone to pimp stuff to you if'n ya have a sign on your property - it works ;)

Guess that means you don't live in a battleground state.

 

 

Lucky you! :lol: :lol:

It's not law here, but I do have a sign, it doesn't stop them, and when I point it out, they try to say that they aren't soliciting, yeah right, they are soliciting my vote.

...if'n you were in Indian Territory instead of the all important Colorado/one of 7 in the swing state column, you wouldn't be bothered by political pundants...

 

...at the last presidential election, Ok voted all democratic folks out of office and not one county out of 77 favored Obama. This time around the sentiment is even more to the right 'cause of the ecomony, even tho we do have, statewide, low unemployment-locally we be over 10%...

Section 11 (of our Township Ordinance)

 

 

Violation and Penalties. Any persons who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects, refuses to comply with, or resists the enforcement of this Ordinance, shall be responsible for a municipal civil infraction, and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00 and all applicable court costs. Equitable relief may also be awarded by Michigan Law. Each act of violation and every day upon which and such violation shall occur constitute a new and separate offense.

Four years ago my neighborhood had a bunch of Dem signs and only one repub sign. This time it's the other way around.

 

that's encouraging :D
