| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01  | I am unable to send this to each of you but as a "Team Leader" it is my responsibility "to get out the vote". I hope this reminds many of you to vote today. Hello, I hardly ever send emails reminding people to vote in an election but this year's Gubernatorial election is so important. Can you imagine what this state will be like if we go back to the days of Florio - the toxic waste on our beaches, the low standards of education for our state's children and the increase in crime? Perish the thought. I ask you today, on behalf of the Republican Party, to vote for the candidate who has the proven record of success. I ask for your vote for Bret Schundler. Encourage others to vote for Bret Schundler today. Remind them of the days of Florio and remind them that Jim McGreevey was part of that administration. I don't want the largest increase in taxes, again. Do you? Thank You, GOP TEAM LEADER For those of you in New York this applies to you as well. New Jersey has a profound impact on you in many ways. Encourage your friends and family in New Jersey to vote for Bret Schundler. Keep in mind that your city also has a crucial election today. You need a strong leader with the experience needed to help unite your city and rebuild it. Now, do you honestly, think without a doubt, that Green can do that? I didn’t think so. Vote for Bloomberg and help shape New York City’s tomorrow without going back to the days of Dinkins.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | As usual, I will vote with my conscience (and/or throw away my vote depending on how you look at it) on the Libertarian candidate Mark Edgerton because I will not vote for one of those other 2 ass-f's His stances on education, the environment, and tolls are all the things I agree with, plus this: quote:  Old School? New School? Shit, I didn't even go to school! NEVER FORGET!!! This message was edited by spitfire421 on 11-6-01 @ 11:20 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | Spit - Don't consider that "throwing away a vote". I may differ with you on the issues but you must vote for who you believe best supports your ideas and beliefs. I am glad you are voting today. I hope others do so also. Barch97 - It is a shame that you allow your politics to revolve around a radio show. Thank God you are not a follower of Doctor Laura. LOL | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | I can't agree more. Getting out to vote today is very important. Even if you vote repulican. I know that voting in an city is different and more difficult than voting where I live, but There is no election more important (other than the Truman Dewey election).  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jul. 00 | Oops! forgot the sarcasm switches again... What I meant was: 1. This thread is borderline spam. 2. I'm surprised that anyone would think republicans are going to get much support from the computer geek / O&A fan demographic. 3. This "Vote for the sake of voting" idea is rediculas. If you're just voting because someone told you to, please don't. That is the only truely "wasted" vote. quote:...actually, I'd be more likely to vote for her than Schundler.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | I thought throwing away your vote is voting for someone who opts not to fulfill her term and leaves the state in the hands of a devious SOB. You know someone who's idea of a tax cut is to decrease state monies at a county level so your property taxes have to go up. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | It's a crying shame that for someone to get elected, they have to be affiliated with one of the two major parties, and it does not really matter what they believe in. I'm sure that when they start their respective careers they are in it for the right reasons. But for the most part, they become corrupted by their parties and end up doing whatever it takes to get in office even if it goes against their personal beliefs. Sorry for generalizing, but it's hard to find an honest politician. And when you do, they are percieved as wack jobs. Needless to say, I will not vote today, because I can not choose the lesser of two A-holes. "We don't take kindly to not takin' kindly around here." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: Actually I believe it is total spam, but thats besides the point. Who cares, who really cares, the people with the money are the people that decide what happens. My opinion means shit. I know that is true. It doesnt matter what anybody says, regular middle class people like me dont mean shit. We had a f'n governor who did some good, and then left during her term to better her career. What ponderous bullshit is that? Politicans suck, they are only in it for themselves for the most part, and I could care less. I loved Florio, but look what he did to us. Its all shit, who the F cares who gets elected, they are all pompous arrogant assholes who are out for their own good anyway. I went to high school with Gov. DeFrancesco's daughters, and I can say that he was an asshole then, and is one now too. F it, I agree with Gonzo, stay home and pleasure yourself, at least that way you know YOU will win.  IM me Or E-Mail Me | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I usually don't banter my political affiliation. Politics is better left private, much like Religon. But, to offset the Republican edge, let me remind you that in times of recession, Democrats seem to be far better in handling economic woes than the spend-thrift Republicans, who are presently trying to put through Congress a package let's off the hook major corporation's back taxes back thru 1986 for over 20 billion dollars. Yes, that's 20 Billion that they ALREADY paid, trying to be given back. What do the Democrats want, more unemployment benefits. You decide which is better. Bottomline, during economic times, though giving corporation incentive and money back will stimulate only their profits, and there is no stipulation that they can use this 20 billion to create new industry and jobs...it's just more pork for the fat of the land, the upper 1%. While Republicans sits in big businesses pocket, you and I will always be on the losing end with these bozo's in charge. Democrats, at times, are no better, but during these unsettling times, there desire to put in some saftey nets for the unemployed is alot smarter and thoughtful, and certainly most helpful. Now, this is just one example of the differences. Republicans, in my mind, are only good in times of prosperity, b/c they like to continue the status quo and be less intrusive. But that is not what we need. The job market and economics haven't looked this bad since the late 70's. Just my humble opinion, take it how you will. =) BUT, ABOVE ALL, DO GO OUT AND VOTE...DON'T BE SHEEP, take control of who gets put in office, b/c it will always affect you.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | If Mark Edgerton wins this election for New Jersey, I will move out of the state. I actually used to be his assistant in 1993 for about 4 weeks at his real estate firm. I needed some extra cash so I took a job doing some of his non licensed real estate work. Anyways, after 2 weeks, I got my paycheck and it was next to nothing. I asked him why it was so slow. His fucking dumb ass piss poor response was this "well, you worked 80 hours but I am considereing 40 of those hours as on the job training, so you are only getting paid for 40 hours". HOw can it be on the job training when I didnt need to be trained. I knew what I was doing. He didnt show me anything. And that is why I will not vote for him at all.  E-Mail Me special thanks to maynard and grumpy for the sig pic and the help posting it | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | If the thread motivates you to vote republican -great. If the thread angers you and makes you want to vote democrat - great. If you are opting not to vote then you are throwing away the opportunity that many through out the world crave to have. Voting for a third party candidate is not throwing out a vote. It is supporting that party. Both the republican and democrat parties started with under 50 people believing in the cause of the party. Today they are known as the "major parties". Look at it as - your vote today for a third party is a vote for tomorrow's major party. You only throw away a vote when you don't vote. Is this thread spamming? I simply posted an email I have not had the chance to send to some of you who I regularly communicate with through email. Fez, if you look at the two candidates' backgrounds it is clear to see who has the experience to run the city. I am not saying vote for Bloomberg because he is a republican. Up until last summer he was a democrat. I am saying vote for him because he is better qualified. That's my opinion. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | "This isn't the spam your looking for, move along...move along" - Obi Wan Bloomberg Actually, this ain't spam, it's opinion, just like any other thread on this board. Just look at Kid A's threads =) My prob with Bloomberg is his backwards ass school policies and ideas. Right now NYC, in my opin, needs a mayor who knows the politcal system so they can get things done, not a maverick with some antiquated ideas, and one sucessful business model. You need someone who has the gumption to make the system work, not change the actual system...so in this case, I think Green's the far better candidate. The guy knows the current politcal structure and is a repsected member of it. Bloomberg is a bit of a loon. And just so you know, I voted for Guiliani last election. Jesse Helms would have been better then Dinkins, in my book. Both Green and Bloomberg, ultimately, are both poor candidates. McCall was my choice...but he has his eyes on Pataki's pie. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | An uninformed vote is more dangerous than not voting at all. (That's how Hillary got elected.) If you need to be reminded that today is election day, STAY HOME! If you can't name both candidates from memory, STAY HOME! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Funny thing I've observed about the Republican party. They say that they believe in lesser government because it is the most efficent from what Thomas Jefferson and Paine said. But Paine was a very left-wing man and Jefferson also pointed out that corporations if they became too powerful would ruin democracy. If the party was true to the "lesser government" ideal they would be Anarchists or at least Minarchists. Spit it's good to see some people actually remove themselves and vote for something else. The Libertarian Party is pretty right on some stuff(though they are pretty nuts on some stuff which is primarily the laisez-faire economic views they have)  Resident Board Socialist IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | quote:Not if you're Schundler, and not if you voted for him - like I did thank you very much. Yes, I'm a republican despite being an O&A listener, although I have been known to vote for a a Democrat if I thought they were going to do a better jon. The bottom line is that you need to be informed in order to make a good decision, then go with who you like and get out and vote. Not that it matters today ;) | ||||

They just don't bother getting a license. I love the way you guys paint all Republicans with a broad brush. Like they're just a bunch of automatons. You haven't got a clue. They are just as fractious as the Democrats  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Being a PA resident my opinion doesn't matter, but I do work in Jersey so I pay some half assed attention to politics here. I heard Shundler lost in every county in the state. Is that true? He didn't even carry Hudson county which I believe is his home county? He must be a real zero. Sorry Straw, I know he was your hero but that pretty much blows. American Patriot, Pennsylvania resident, but original NYC listener. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | umm yea dude i know, its very important to remember ALL POLITICIANS ARE WHORES, and most of them have their legs spread all the time. however, i do identify with Democrats on more issues than i do with Republicans, therefore i tend to vote Democratic, but by no means do i think one way or the other is going to make a significant change in my daily life. shit, im doing better than most people my age, at least i know each party's stance before i make a decision and pull the lever... | ||||
