i voted

I VOTED

as soon as we got our drivers license a few weeks ago
we were able to register to vote

in the mail came a ballot a few days later
this election voting here was all via mail in ballots

now new to the area we werent up to the politics
of the area

some of the things i voted on
some i didnt
but
i voted

i
signed the ballot
licked the envelope
popped it in the mail

as the results came out
last night
i like usually was
on the winning side of some issues
and
on the losing side on others
but
i voted

a lot of folks didnt vote
so
if i hear them whining
ill ask did you vote
they say no
ill raise my hand
and
say
talk to the hand

as i was reviewing some of the national votes
one that stood out for me
was in maine
it tends to be a republican independent state
it has a republican governor
its a different state than the rest of the states

it has a bad opioid problem

on the ballot
was the forcing of the state to accept the medicaid
expansion that the governor had refused to accept
a lot of medicaid funding goes to drug rehab programs
for the opioid addicted folks
without some type of intervention
a lot of folks are dying

i wonder if other states will do the same
personally i think big pharma should foot some of the bill
since they are the ones that pushed these powerful drugs
on unsuspecting patients
sort of a sin tax or its your fault tax

then
i noticed in one state a referendum requiring that
state programs only have to pay what the va pays
for their drugs
the va gets to competitively bid and limit what they pay

should be a no brainer
right
nope
it lost
just like in other states

we all complain about drug prices
why dont these pass
its the amount of money the drug companies put into
the campaigns against these referendums
does that make those who voted against it
no better than the politicians that take the drugs companies
political contributions

then
there was this graph i saw on line
it showed the voters based on their political beliefs
on the left the blue side
on the right the red side
they seemed to be equal
where the graphs overlapped in the middle
it was purple

it makes you realize thats where most of us are
its where the elections are won
in the middle
the middle seems to move to the blue or red side
differently each year

the other was a graph
that showed those who voted democrats are highest
amongst women
amongst non white folks
those who voted republican are highest
amongst white men

this could decide which way our country goes
in the future
since the non white numbers will continue to climb
the women and men numbers wont probably change much

it will be interesting to see how the political parties
will change themselves to survive in this trend

the solution to our political problems also may be
to allow only women to run government

also
i have found the solution to ending mass murders
only allow women to own and use guns

use it as a pay back for all those hundred of years women werent
allowed to vote
it would save lives and allow our government to run better

i did it anyway

I DID IT ANYWAY

yesterday in the misty rain i got out and drove to

the rural polling place where we usually vote in the

national elections

not a good sign that there was only one car there 

and no signs anywhere

so

luckily someone drove up and said

hey yall

you need to go to the library

theres a lot of libraries within 25 miles of there

but we all knew what they meant

so

to the library i went

in this little town of i guess 1500 maybe

this season youll see the old train station there in 

the tv show revolution

into the library i went 

had to show my id to vote with my picture on it

you know the law that got passed so the poor and 

the underprivileged will have a problem obtaining one

and is really designed like the old poll tax to prevent 

them from voting 

since they usually vote the same way those people

i know the republicans did all this 

they are in power in this state so they write the rules

redid all those districts 

however the democrats arent blameless

they did the same thing when they were in power

and would probably do it again if they could

dont you just hate politics and politicians

i went into vote showed my id signed in 

reread how to run the voting machine 

read the ballot

i did all that driving for this 

6 amendments to the constitution

seems if you are going to amend the constitution it should be a

real real important right

they seemed like they shouldnt even be on the ballot to me

just someone decide these and get on with it

the one i really wanted to vote on was the water amendment

where they take money from the rainy day fund to 

pay for water projects

seems funny to me 

water money from the rainy day fund

i voted for it but didnt really feel good about it

you know like if your party you like puts up a bad candidate

but you just cant make yourself vote for the other party

so you go ahead and vote for the bad one

well 

thats how i felt yesterday

i know theres going to be corruption involved

and theres those who will make a killing off this new

water amendment

too too much money was thrown into the campaign

to get this thing passed

and

no mention was really made for water conservation 

and land conservation 

hope they dont dam up the river by our house

then 

mr christie won by a good margin in new jersey

dear republican party 

you need to pay close attention 

to this election if you want to win the presidency back

problem is 

governor christie may have problems winning the nomination 

we need more candidates like him for sure 

in both parties

the other big vote was the governorship of virginia

it appears the democrat won there

the republican ran against obamacare 

it didnt work

the republicans have a problem with young folks

blacks and hispanics and women except for mr christie

if they dont fix this they arent going to win national elections

im glad i voted even though there wasnt much to vote for

but

i dont ever want to lose that right

i voted, women will win

I VOTED

this week on monday i decided that i wasnt going to wait
until election day to vote
i wanted to be through with this voting this year and just
shut out all that news stuff on the election

heck what if something happened that would prevent me from
voting next tuesday
once my wife she on election day was held up at work
she rushed to get to the voting booth but when she
arrived she was told the polls were closed
even though several people were there waiting to vote

dont want that to happen to me
heck what if a rain storm came through and flooded us
like it does sometimes and we couldnt get out to vote

just look what happened in the northeast with that
storm sandy
am sure there will be a lot of people who dont vote since
they have other things on their mind
like surviving

yep i voted early so no matter what happens between now
and next tuesday i did my duty as an american citizen and
i voted

WOMEN WILL WIN
men remember no matter what women will always win
look at this years election
it appears it will be the women who will determine the next
president


then to put a final stamp on this election by women
that super storm called sandy has come in and
has shut down the northeast and
has seemed to suspend any notion of political campaigning
for awhile

yep women they have a lot of influence
dont ever underestimate them

also wish the politicians could all get along to help get
this country righted like they are doing dealing with this
disaster

wish that all the campaigning would just stop now
and let the election occur on tuesday
and maybe donate some of that 2 billion they are spending
on the campaigns to sandy relief for those affected by
this terrible disaster
