That's all.
Is that like it's racist to say he is from Chicago?

I voted Gary Johnson. Why is he not on "JI Ballot"?

What an extremely difficult decision it was today voting for Romney over the Libertarian, Johnson. My thought process was if Obama is going to win the electoral, I, at least, want to help Romney win the popular. I actually voted for the Republican, McMahon over the Libertarian again for Senate. Really struggled with the decision too. Murphy is just, such a schmuck, I felt I had to go with the challenger who actually had a shot to beat him. Sigh...

eh not really. Murphy will win by 5+% points. Rasmussen even had him up 6 points in their last poll.

edit: just re-read your post and noticed you said who "had a shot to beat him"

McMahon has a better shot than the Libertarian, Passarelli, was my point. I don't actually expect a Republican to win in CT. But it would be nice, and the polls aren't always right...I think she actually has an outside shot.

I BELIEVE!

I believed Colin Powell when he fell on his sword for the Iraq War; and I believe him now when he says we are making progress and to stay the course.

Colin Powell.

Another one of those that thinks its cute to point out the President has the same middle name as a former dictator.
First off, Romney is listed with an unflattering nickname in place of his middle one.

Secondly, if you want to complain, go right ahead, but at least have the common decency to exercise your right to vote before doing so. So hypocritical...

Didn't realize the baseball mitt thing was recent, sorry.

Still doesn't change the poster complaining didn't even bother to cast a vote. It's an anonymous message board, how paranoid can one be?
