So if he was born after August 21,1959 when Hawaii became a state, he is legit.

From what I understand his D.O.B. is 8/4/61

8/4.......WTF?

Why couldn't my daughter have her own day?! She already shares it with like 4 OTHER people that I know of...

So how were the voting lines for everyone?

My township is small, so instead of waiting the usual 10 minutes, I had to wait 15. LONG lines there. :hick:

I was surprised to find few people there when I went...must have been the right time (about 11:00). Went in signed in, guy walked out of a booth just as I finished writing. In and out deal. Totally shocked, I expected to wait a good half hr or so.

well, i voted,,
pointless vote but nonetheless a vote.

I waited and waited, hoping for something to click or a magic set of words someone would say that would be the clincher. Even as i headed out the door to vote with my virgin first time voter wife,,, she asked who i was voting for and I said I will know when i am at the booth.

I did experience a situation during talk radio the other day. The news castor was an early voter and he was complaining about how McCain was doing this and that. He then said those words i will not have to say "i regret voting for him now". I know in my heart there is something wrong here, not even a gut feeling of who's the better choice.

I even watched Obama's infomercial when i was over in IN going into it neutral with no predeterminations. I was totally sold on him and his plan. He executed the show flawlessly. The only problem is that i gather information and muddle through it and make my best decision based on the past habbits or situations both candidates are in now.

LOL

some how i think alot of people are going to feel pretty ripped off in the upcoming months/years not unlike seeing a preview for what looks to be a great movie but ends up sucking and being super dissapointing.

i hope they dont get more "change" than they barganed for...

well, he has got his chance. hope your right. ill eat my words if he is great or hell any better. it may be a change were in for, but i think its not going to be a good one...8 years of an idiot is no reson to throw it all away. honestly, i think we should be mourning. the majority spoke with an anti american voice. im not suprised at all about the results. its funny, all this talk about wanting change, as specially in Ma. and they vote against change. we could have dropped the income tax but apparently the majority here enjoy giving their money away to frivolous spenders. maybe they were just all high when the voted, cause at least now it wont be a criminal offense to have an ounce or under on you.

Cool, the pot thing passed? Finally some common sense when if comes to weed. People in Mass knew their property taxes would rise to compensate for the income tax and were afraid the towns would not be able to properly set the tax rates and so it would be unfair to some towns versus others.

I don't see how the reputation of the US could not possibly improve now. Having a man-child with emotional problems acting like a petulant bully due to his instability has been like a bad dream that I have had to wake up to for 8 straight years - like Groundhog Day - but in real life.

they wouldnt have to much if at all. the wastefull irresponsible overspending needs to stop. of the 78billion of taxpayers income tax 5 of it trickles down into the towns statewide.

a property tax imo would be better. at least your money stays in the local government and towns people can decide where money should be expidited.

call me crazy but im a supporter of smaller governmen.
