ELECTION 2010... FYI, I voted via absentee ballot two weeks ago. Hopefully I’ll receive that "I Voted" flag sticker in the mail since I obviously won't be at the local polling station tomorrow to get one.
As a Californian, I voted all Democratic in this year’s midterm elections. Jerry Brown or Meg Whitman? Voting for the "lesser of two evils" was never more vital than with these two candidates. Brown is no saint, but Whitman lost major points in my book by trying to take a "tough as nails" stance on immigration, and yet had an illegal alien as a house servant for 9 YEARS...and even asserts that she didn't know the maid was undocumented this whole time. Um, RIIIIGHT. And that one TV commercial showing sound bites of her copying a lot of current Governor Ah-nold's speeches word-for-word? Yea that’s a TOTAL deal-breaker.
Carly Fiorina (a.k.a. Meg Whitman's "Golden Parachute Twin")? Barbara Boxer airs commercials about how Fiorina laid off thousands of jobs at Hewlett Packard (or HP, which built the computer I’m using right now... Yes, I am ashamed) and out-sourced them to other countries, while Fiorina fights back by airing a pathetic TV ad attacking Boxer by showing footage of her telling some Joe Schmoe at a congressional hearing to address Boxer as "Senator". RIIIIGHT AGAIN. If there was a choice between re-voting for an 'arrogant' career politician and a businesswoman who caused lots of people to lose their jobs, and got a multimillion-dollar payout before she vacated her position as CEO of HP (much like Whitman receiving a huge golden parachute when she left her tenure as head of eBay...hence why she and Fiorina are considered 'twins'. That—and they're both Republicans), I'd vote for the arrogant senator.
As for the California propositions:
- Voted NO on Prop 19 (Sorry potheads)
- Voted YES on Prop 20
- Voted YES on Prop 21
- Voted YES on Prop 22
- Voted NO on Prop 23 (SCREW YOU TEXAS, and SCREW YOUR OIL COMPANIES)
- Voted NO on Prop 24
- Voted YES on Prop 25 (Probably should've been a NO...but oh well)
- Voted YES on Prop 26
and
- Voted NO on Prop 27 (since a YES would've contradicted voting YES on Prop 20... Prop 20 was about assigning a special 14-member panel to redo congressional districts in California—while Prop 27 would prevent this panel from being formed)
So don't forget to vote tomorrow, people (that is, those of you who live here in the good ol' US of A)! If you don't, then the Communists win. Just kidding. Al-Qaeda will.
