.........my stamping says different....what a bull. Educate America, Educate.
Thanks for the photo of the voting booth, CNN. It is always nice to put a "face" to people who vote for the GOP. Seeing as so many middle class people have suffered the fate of the poor due to the Bush Administration policies, I just don't know how you can let the GOP have another go at you. What, you didn't lose everything this time around and you want to see how far you can fall under a new Republican administration?

But I would "definitely" have a vote if still in the race was "Koch's Brother from another Mother!!"
Therefore, I might just go Rogue and vote for Cobert
The BEST candidate for the moment because in reality, "I don't care!!"
What a MESS!
Obama 2012!
The problem is they don’t have good candidates
The choice between a fake plastic flip-flopper and a :catholic" adulterer! Even in S.C. that must be a challenge!!
The choice is obvious, the least of the worst GOP picks in history that no-one – really wants.
A wealthy flip flopper, a has been baggage collector, an out of touch religious zealot, and a old extremist that wants to live in the last century..
What really matters is the FACT NONE of them can beat the president. Each brings something really questionable about their character that republicans FEAR will hurt them in the GE. Our president in spite of the hate yelled against him MUST be doing something right. Whatever the case might be – he sure has them AGAINST the ropes.
Go Obama!
My heart says one.........my mind another.....Good Lord, it's a primary vote,__not teenagers in love .....who written this stuff? Jesz!!!
It's gonna take me about a minute this year to vote straight DEM.
I don't like what the last republican did and I don't like the obstructionist republicans in office now.
