THE Election 2008 Megathread!

[Tristam Green]

Too true alanon. I'll update this much for other issues in South Carolina:

Lindsey Graham stays in office. However, chances are he won't get a shot at a Cabinet position (something I really did kinda fear in the event of a McCain administration). I voted to get Graham out of office and to replace with Tom Conley, but alas, SC is a republican state through and through.

I voted to remove wording from the State Constitution that sets the legal age of consent at age 16. This would allow the state to set the consent-age, and while I'm certain that they will attempt to set it at age 18, I'd just as soon have the wording out of the State Constitution altogether.

It's "ensuing". I guess we're not a nation of idiots either.

Wait for it.
Wait for it.

Fair enough. So, my paper gets a B- then? So whats your actual reply?

Waiting.....
Waiting......

Edit: Nice Palin-esque response btw (don't worry, I know it's not a real word, just made it up).

I think they are meaning to keep the age of consent at 16. This was brought up because some lawyers were trying to justify their client's actions because according to the state constitution that the 14 year old was of legal consent.

I agree that everyone should at least vote for things on a local level even if they don't want to vote for president or another office. You don't have to educate yourself on whether or not on things like if you want more taxes or want the age of consent to be 16. At our polling area they had a good description of all of the amendments. I don't trust the majority to make the right decision for me.

Ecks man, I didn't mean to make it sound like a personal attack. I'm just saying that just because the presidential election did not interest you, does not mean that you shouldn't vote for other issues. I know that the presidential race is the hot topic and that the media tried to build up false suspense on election night to keep us watching their coverage, but there were other important things going on.

Ah, well it did come off as kind of a personal attack since you kind of.. you know, singled me out. Anyway it's all good.

Sure there were some other issues to vote on, different amendments to our (local, or maybe it was statewide) constitution. The only thing I would have voted on would have been one topic and judging from the outcome of the poll even if I had voted on that one thing it would have changed nothing. I'm not really too interested in politics though, just don't care enough about it. Don't know what else to tell you.

/em dodges the bricks...

Oh wait, so you are calling me an idiot for a simple grammer error anyone could make, in response to me calling you a coward for not wanting Obama to be elected on the simple basis YOU think he will be assassinated? Sorry, I was giving you a better shot at a reasonable response, guess you couldn't "figure it out". Guess since with you spending all that time in your bunker because "the world is going to end", you have more time then I do for spellchecking.
