Election Day

Everyone's going to get all lovey-dovey today and say, "Oh, I don't care who you vote for, just get to the polls and make your voice heard for the sake of democracy, blah, blah." Even President Bush, the most partisan president in a century, said as much this morning.

Fuck that. Most voting choices on this year's ballot are ok (Honestly, is McGavick really that much more of a corporate tool than Cantwell?). But if you intend to vote for stupid-ass initiatives that will eviscerate our environmental laws, or puritanical strip-club regulations, or a tax break for the uber-wealthy, stay home.

Don't know where to vote? Put in your name and birthday here, the county elections' voter lookup. It will tell you where your polling place is and generate a voter's guide.

If you got an absentee ballot but haven't mailed it, you can drop it off at any polling place. Schools and churches usually contain them. Here's a full list in .pdf.

If you don't know what/who to vote for, read The Stranger's endorsements, the P-I's checklist (you couldn't provide hyperlinks to endorsements here? Come on, P-I.), and ~~Frank Blethen's~~ the Times' editorial board's picks.

Oh, you're supposed to bring picture ID to the polls, but, seriously, who walks around without their ID?

Hell yeah McGavick is a corporate tool. He is a tool of George Bush and Karl Rove. They don't get any bigger tools that that. Don't give me that 2000 Ralph Nader crap about there being no difference between Bush and Gore.

President Gore would not have ignored the 911 warnings.

President Gore would have finished the job in Afganistan

President Gore would not have lied about Iraq

President Gore would ballanced the budget

President Gore would have not let people die in Katrina

President Gore would not let oil barron and poluters write our enviromental protection laws.

President Gore would not illegally spy on americans.

Do you think there actually is a differance between a President Gore and George Bush?

Do you want George Bush to have electoral power for two more years?

Is there a differance between Cantwell and Mike!

You bet there is.

so I say to all my liberal progressive freinds. DONT FUCK IT UP!

Honestly, is McGavick really that much more of a corporate tool than Cantwell?

Amen!

Just so everyone knows, there's always Bruce Guthrie.

Commence flaming.
