sevfiv Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 hopefully not this person: http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/kho...ns.e5397d9.html Gov. Rick Perry, after a God and country sermon attended by dozens of political candidates Sunday, said that he agreed with the minister that non-Christians will be condemned to hell.... He said that he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that those who don't accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west20th Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I see Gov. Skippy isn't to popular on this forum. Wish the Dems would have run a stronger candidate. Think Mayor White would have had a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westguy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Perry will win, though he shouldn't. In the last governor election, it was two Corrupticrats running against each other. This time I think any of the three opponents to Perry are more deserving. Unfortunately they will all lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I think any of the three opponents to Perry are more deserving. Unfortunately they will all lose.I haven't met one person in person that said they were voting for Perry. (Can't really see why anyone would want to, either). I gotta agree with Westguy on this statement. Most of my friends want Kinky to win, but they think that the election is so rigged, Perry would win regardless of how they vote. I just want to see the states' votes count, whoever wins. No more trying to turn people away from polls like last week (the 4 Houston libraries who had to cancel free flu-shots because Republican officials didn't want people to vote that normally wouldn't have voted.) Regardless of who you think will win, EVERYBODY vote for who YOU like. If it's Perry, Strayhorn, Bell, or Friedman, doesn't matter. I hope this election shows that voting does matter.

WesternGulf Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Voted for Bell in early election. Pretty sure Perry will win by single digits as far as percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romans 10:9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

KinkaidAlum Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I am voting for Deval Patrick.Kerry Healy is a twit and her nagative, fear-based ads have caused a huge backlash against her. Can't wait until the rest of the nation catches up and says "enough" with the scare tactics and mistruths.If I lived in Texas, I'd vote for Bell.

dbigtex56 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 It's too bad that the gubernatorial race is decided by a plurality rather than a majority vote. If the race was to be decided in a run-off, I"m fairly confident Perry would lose. As things stand, his chances seem best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 hopefully not this person:http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/kho...ns.e5397d9.html Well...looks like I'm going to Hell, then! As long as Perry is not governor of Hell, it can't be as bad as living in Texas. (Needless to say, I voted for Bell, but I agree with westguy that anyone is better than Perry.)

sevfiv Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 okay, this is too depressing.on another note, here's some history from the library of congress:http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/nov04.htmlAmericans observed the first uniform election day on November 4, 1845 in accordance with Congressional legislation passed earlier that year. The law, which ensured the simultaneous selection of presidential electors in each state, increased the power of political parties and reflected the democratization of presidential politics which had taken place since 1820.As late as 1816, the citizens of nine states did not vote in presidential elections. Instead, previously elected state legislators chose the presidential electors who then determined the outcome of the contest. yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rippedoff Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 As Kinky put it and as been said many times before,"If you don't get off your butt to vote, you have no right to b*itch". It is mind boggling to me with all the issues at the forefront of any election so few people vote. Follow the money and look at a site like Texans for Public Justice; that basically says it all.
