Upcoming elections

[CBI_2]

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but with so much election coverage and the way things are being covered I feel compelled to to post a reminder.

It was not very long ago that we were spared the confiscatory cigar taxes due to the power of the veto. Now I don't want to presume to tell anyone who to vote for but we do need to remember which one's tried to pass it and from which part of the political spectrum they belong to.

It looks like many, if not all, of them will still be in office and if someone of like mindedness occupies the whitehouse it will come up again and in all likelihood become law. The thing that is just as scary to me is that same attitude will be applied to many other areas of our lives as well.

Again all I want to do with this post is give us all something to remember and think about come election time.

If you are encouraging people to vote Republican...I am not only on your side, but a lot of people here at CS are too...in other words Vote Republican!

Those who continue to support and keep in place laws that make it illegal for me to purchase cigars from a country 90 miles off the southern tip of Florida influence my vote as well.

I would encourage people to educate themselves and vote their conscious. I have voted for 20 years now but would never consider registering as a member of either of the big two. Each have become a utter disgrace in my opinion.

I will pass over the 2 fake parties and vote Libertarian, thank you.

I always wonder...not to sound like a smarta$$....do those who vote for other than the major two parties feel like they are wasting their vote? I can't bring myself to vote for any other parties because of this. Of course the popular vote doesn't always pick the president

Not at all, in fact I see the total opposite. I think that voting FOR the 2 major parties is wasting your vote.



You can flip a coin 10,000 times and you will never get anything other than heads or tails.

All that the two parties do is pander to their audience. I am getting tired of their antics.

Wouldn't it be nice, if someday, they remembered that their audience was the American population?

Wouldn't it be nice if their views aligned with the constitution and the declaration of Independence?

Come November a Republican or Democrat will win the election for President. That's a fact. Vote for a third party if you will, but if you want to save on taxes and protect your vice, there is only one choice. It is really that simple.

I wish Ron Paul was a little more "Media Friendly" otherwise he would be a serious threat. That being said, I feel the media needs to stop ignoring the third parties.

Anyone else voting for "Walter"

All three candidates want to raise taxes.
