IL-13? You're so close to Flaggy!Skjellyfetti wrote:Local race I care most about is IL-13. Betsy Londrigan [D] trying to unseat Rodney Davis.
Rodney is a Trump lackey and I'd love to see him go down.
Usually a pretty solidly Republican district. Not much polling at all. It'll come down to turnout in urban areas.
Other races are pretty much between two shitty candidates.
I'm going over to vote for Davis. Fake ID FTW.Ibanez wrote:IL-13? You're so close to Flaggy!Skjellyfetti wrote:Local race I care most about is IL-13. Betsy Londrigan [D] trying to unseat Rodney Davis.

Rules is rules, bitch. Kill what you can eat or donate. Don't exceed limits. Don't leave dead birds in the water. Don't use lead shot. Basic common sense stuff for non-asshole waterfowl hunters.CAA Flagship wrote:He killed geese. Since when is that a problem?93henfan wrote:By the way, Ivy, I didn't annotate it, but my reason for not voting for Simpler is because of an unethical waterfowl hunt he participated in in Texas several years ago that many people don't know about. He received six citations for wanton waste, citation of migratory birds, taking geese out of season, using lead shot, exceeding bag limit, no stamp.
He left 37 dead birds on the water. Ten of the birds were canvasback hens, which are in rapid decline in Texas. Bag limit at the time was one bird.
Fuck Ken Simpler.
Coming from you, that has double the impact.93henfan wrote:Rules is rules, bitch. Kill what you can eat or donate. Don't exceed limits. Don't leave dead birds in the water. Don't use lead shot.

We know you hate kids... not sure how you feel about the elderly. Based on your general lack of compassion for others, I would normally think you're opposed, but since they're planning to tax the "rich", you're all in. I think they could have put just about anything before the word "funded" and you'd be for it.mainejeff wrote:I forgot about Question 1 in Maine......
"Do you want to create the Universal Home Care Program to provide home-based assistance to people with disabilities and senior citizens, regardless of income, funded by a new 3.8% tax on individuals and families with Maine wage and adjusted gross income above the amount subject to Social Security taxes, which is $128,400 in 2018?:"

I don't know if you listen to podcasts but there's a new episode on Freakanomics that discusses the industry of politics and how it's goal isn't to represent the people, but itself. It's a self legislating, self regulating industry which the 2 parties have complete control and stifle competition.Ivytalk wrote:Read an interesting piece about Duverger’s law in Reason today. Winner-take-all electoral structures favor a two-party system, while third parties need proportional representation to have any hope of success. Although about 40% of Americans claim to be independents, the vast majority lean Red or Blue on a regular basis. At this rate, Libertarians and Greens will be stuck at a collective 5% of the vote for a long time.
Solution for third-party voters? Move to Italy, Belgium, or Scandinavia.
Sorry my friend, you have written history of hating kids. I on the other hand have kids, coach kids, teach kids, do charity for kids...mainejeff wrote:I don't hate kids....you do. Love the fetus....hate the child.

Might not be the same, but a blogger I read refers to our political system as the Uniparty. Rings true when you see how nobody of importance ever runs afoul of the law.Ibanez wrote:I don't know if you listen to podcasts but there's a new episode on Freakanomics that discusses the industry of politics and how it's goal isn't to represent the people, but itself.
