Go vote

[Cream Soda]

Nah, but thousands lazy fuckers like you allowed more morons to represent your state.

How do you know it was my laziness? Perhaps I woulda voted for these morons, if I were to vote.

The BEST PART about this election is, and CNN has just picked it up - did the extreme Tea Party candidates ultimately cost the Republicans the Senate? A few swing votes here and there and they'd have it.

Sortofedit:

Now it's full-blown blame. Goddamn tea party! No experience whackjobs! THEY BLEW IT! Awesome. Maybe Jon Stewart made a difference after all?

"Same shit" opposition - gateway drug, people gonna be high at work, stoner drivers will ruin the roads. Basically there was little marketing for prop 19 outside of Facebook ads, guess they forgot? Advocates just assumed it'd win, but they left it up to the 18-24 turnout to win it, who were obviously too stoned to show up today.

This is what I don't understand... I don't get why it can't be handled like alcohol. Of course you shouldn't show up to work drunk or drive for that matter. While the effects are lesser when high it still shouldn't be allowed.

Its upsetting cause I feel that Prop 19 could have saved a lot of money in the long run.

@Atreides Those propositions you mentioned are such a fuckin step backwards. ;/

they pretty much did, and Sarah Palin backed half of them

also if anyone missed it, Carl Paladino's resignation speech was HILARIOUS. Hint: it involves a baseball bat!

well the bigger picture is obviously that if its going to start anywhere, its gunna be California. It has to be passed there first before we can finally get this god damn ball rolling on a national scale.

Maybe Colorado can get it done, or Cali next time around. Still a 2 year delay minimum either way.

Best WA Initiative EVER:

No Fucking Joke:

This measure would require the Seal of the State of Washington to be changed to depict a vignette of a tapeworm dressed in a three piece suit attached to the lower intestine of a taxpayer shown as the central figure. The seal would be required to be encircled with the following words: “Committed to sucking the life blood out of each and every tax payer.” The illustration would be selected from submissions submitted by taxpayers.

I think Russ Feingold would've beaten a standard-issue Republican (other than Tommy Thompson)

How Rick Scott has a lead on Alex Sink in Florida just proves we are worse than Texas. Sink still has a chance if she wins Miami-Dade and Palm Beach (which looks like she might win.)

[Atreides]

Ken Buck's lead has closed to 3.9k votes with 73% of precincts reporting, I dunno if I can stay up watching this, so tired.

At least I know Alaska won't get decided for a few days lol

[Zoolander]

Oh shit most of the remaining votes are from south florida? Well shhhhhiiiiiiit Sink might actually win this, those are massive democrat areas. Gunna be hella close, god damnit I do not want the scum bag Rick Scott as our gov.

It's nice to confirm my analysis of the tea party working against the republicans.

They really clubbed the democrats senseless in the house, but there's no reason why they shouldn't have control of the senate right now. John Cornyn and Mitch McConnell must be fucking livid right now with Sarah Palin's crew.

the point they were making on tv is that the reason why Sink might lose is the "down ticket effect", that basically people vote down their party lines based on the top of the ticket races, so Sink loses votes because of the turnout for Marco Rubio in the Senate race. It's pretty much the same reason Boxer beat Fiorina in California, with the extra turnout for Jerry Brown in the Governor race pushing her over the edge.

I'd have to agree... I'm the same as you: never smoked/don't intend to do it ever (even if legalized). I think it really is just misinformation and something being a drug is ultimately bad. Probably believe there's a good reason for it to be illegal like other drugs without really understanding the drug itself. Plus, hemp is so useful.

Honestly the strongest opposition i have seen for prop 19 is from stoners themselves who are paranoid about various government involved outcomes, or they are dealers and like the money they make.

[Atreides]

a lot of medical growers are against it too, because they're afraid of the public farms encroaching on their (massive) profits

[Kurokikaze]

lol shitstorm for Colorado. Possible error that gave Buck 34k votes. >.>;

^ this. It's like prohibition of alcohol back in the days. The only people against getting rid of it were the people that could make money off it being illegal.

I am hoping Pat Quinn wins the election for Illinois Governor over Bill Brady. For one, Bill Brady has your typical Republican stances on human rights, government spending, and the corporate invasion of our country's political structure. Our country is already looking as if it is a political-corporate conglomerate, so we should sign our human rights away to the highest bidder. Americans don't deserve jobs if they want enough money to live on. LGBT people don't need their rights because they go against the grain of the religious dogma that has been shoved down our throats for over a thousand years. Those without the money to pay for the cost of health services determined by health insurance companies should just die to ease the burden on those with the means to afford it.

Fuck this asinine country of ours. We know what happened when we lower taxes in a time of great government spending thanks to George W. Bush and his mind-fuckingly stupid bank bailout before he left office. He spent trillions more than what we could afford, and yet the blame is passed onto Obama. We're still fighting costly wars that clearly cannot be won with a rifle, and we're slowly losing our rights as citizens of the United States. I should just kill myself and be done with this nightmare of a world.

[Atreides]

dude, just go get stoned and hope things get better in 2 years. There's even a chance that medical marijuana will pass in AZ, currently still at 50/50

[Cantih]

Just got home.
Not only did I vote today, but as a pollworker, I assisted over 500 people in exercising their franchise.

The fuck did you do today?
