Voted this morning at 8a.m. The line was not bad at all. Only 10-15 minutes to get to the booth. Straight Rep. for me. Glad i took the day off from work and got it done.

And these are the people who are voting for Robert O'Rourke:

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

When voted today the beetoo bus and band was across the street in the parking lot playing, I did ask the beetoo man why not being a Mexican do they have a Mexican band? No answer back just a look.

Saw a link on Facebook about a possible class action against Beto for his unwanted text messages. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

I plan to vote Democrat, so this forum isn’t 100% Republican. (Granted it might be 99.999%).

How do you reconcile the dem's position on guns and the 2nd Amendment and your participation on this forum?
What other dem positions make you want to vote for the democrats?

Right you are.
Vote!
I didn't mean to help create even a scintilla of voter complacency.
I also think a few of our newest members are subtly trying to discourage Conservative voters from going to the polls, because hey don't bother voting as 'the commie's gonna win!

inquiring minds want to know.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Re: Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?
I can think of several. My rules for voting are (in order):
1. Vote for people I specifically want to win. This means that I have paid enough attention to that race that I decided who I support for whatever reason.
2. Vote against people I specifically do not like. Again, this means I paid enough attention to a race to make a decision.
3. In races where I did not pay that much attention (we simply have too many offices for me to follow all of them), I refuse to vote in any race where the person is unopposed. If he can't win without my vote in a case like that, he doesn't deserve the office.
4. Vote by party in the following order:
a. Libertarian
b. Independent
c. Republican
d. Democrat
e. Vote against anyone in Communist or Socialist party.
Some of the issues I strongly disagree with the Republican party on include religion and abortion. Some of the issues I strongly disagree with the Democratic party on include welfare and guns.
I note that when I get to the party part, I place the Republican party higher than the Democrats, but since I vote for (and against) people first, there are specific issues I use to decide. I do know of some Democrats who are staunch supporters of gun rights and I can be convinced to support them in some specific cases.
As an aside, when I vote against someone it is usually character based more than issues.

Re: Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?
A well stated position Steve, and one I'm closely aligned with. I vote for the individual candidate, not the party. There are plenty of idiots and imbeciles to go around in every political party and I try my best to vote against them regardless of their party affiliation.

Re: Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?
That's great but both of your positions are significantly different than infoman's. I'm curious about what dem positions makes him want to vote dem when one of their primary positions is contrary to the 2nd Amendment and what this forum is about.

Re: Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?
When the 70-something lady with the crocheted cap and giant Beat-O sign started to talk to me outside the polls yesterday I gave her my best glare, the one generally reserved for panhandling bums approaching me in big cities. Message received, she diverted immediately towards more promising game. I try to make a point of not arguing politics with unhinged strangers on the street.
Frankly, I was glad to be able to avoid the group of young people with similar signs across the street. The temptation to explain the error of their ways may have been too great.
I wish they would make the no-politicking zone around voting locations much bigger. Like a half mile at least.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!
