Jeff Stahler for November 01, 2014

What planet are you from? Here in the US we don’t vote until the 4th of November and then celebrate the results on the 4th of July.

I already voted, too, and like Clark it was for Democrats, but in my MD district most were running unopposed.

I voted already too. But I’m still getting two to four paper ads every day from the same candidate. My recycle box is stuffed! Free,speech my a—! Someone needs to put a rag in it!

The GOP would never allow a day off work for voting. The whole idea is to allow only the prosperous, who don’t need to go to work, to cast their votes.

I don’t mind the paper as much as the dinner time phone calls.

I have to go to the local headquarters to find out how the politicians plan to solve the issues that are important to we the people. I’m afraid that if there was a website with a spreadsheet of the really important issues and their solutions, most of the fields would be blank.

Reality has a liberal bias. It brings me great joy to watch the Republican Party slowly but surely self-destruct by moving further and further into irrelevance.

Political garbage size matters…shrink the Govt.

“I think others may be just a tad more deserving”MLK was the face of the modern civil rights movement. His work not only helped blacks in their struggle for equality, it inspired other groups such as gays, the disabled, and those with mental illness. We as a nation is better off because of his work. You’re telling me he’s not deserving of a day of observance? Spoken like someone who’s never been denied his rights.

I agree Jase. MLK was a great American and should be honored as such. So were Lincoln and Washington, but my alma mater thinks Caesar Chavez is more important so they replaced Presidents Day with Chavez Day.

Btw… MLK is one of my favorite Republicans of all time.He preached hard work, good ethics and no excuses.Some of my favorite quotes…….“It is the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively. I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will… time is always ripe to do right.“Letter from the Birmingham Jail,”April 1963"

If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.Speech in Detroit, Michigan June 23, 1963

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58% of its crimes? We’ve got to face that. And we’ve got to do something about our moral standards,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a congregation in 1961. “We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can’t keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves.”

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed your recession, I didn’t and unlike you, I didn’t vote for it.
