5. IMO, all voting should be done by mail.
It is much more reliable than worrying about flawed voting machines, the weather etc.

8. That would help the Hillary supporters.
Old people are more likely to use snail mail.

Personally I think voting should be through Facebook. :D

9. Actually, my concern about paperless voting machines is why I support mail in ballots.
But the weather is another valid reason.

I've only been a Hillary supporter for a couple of months. And the reason I support her is basically through default. The people I really wanted weren't running and/or had dropped out. Between she and Obama I liked her better. That feeling grows every day.

10. Maybe God really is a Republican
But the Republans are having their primary today as well, so that explanation doesn't fly.

18. Maybe God is an anarchist
But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."

10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day."

21. You've just reminded me of...
...a "Christianarchist" collective that I remember being a "famous for 15 minutes" news story back when I was a teenager in Britain (mid-80s). I think they were called the Smile Jesus Loves You Anarchist Collective or something like that.

19. Nah, everyone in this neck of the woods knows Hocking county floods
if you pee extra hard on the side of the road down there.

All of the livable area is almost entirely within the flood plain of the Hocking River. Lots of low valley where people build..beautiful country where I spend a lot of time at in the summer, but floods alot.

To see it is to love it:

4. Additional Ohio Counties have had changes Jefferson and Harrison
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 12:52 PM by NoBushSpokenHere
Three precincts in Jefferson County are moving to higher ground because of flooding concerns.

Voters who go to the Irondale Fire Department or the Saline Township Complex to cast their ballot will be directed to the Irondale Elementary School. Anyone who votes in the Glen Robbins precinct will be moved to the Yorkville VFW.

In Harrison County, the Monroe Township precinct has been moved from the Bowerston Community Park to the Bowerstown fire department.

Signs will be posted at any precinct that is affected, directing voters where to go.

"We should not have any complications as long as we can get word out to all the voters," said Diane Shimp, the director of the Jefferson County Board of Elections.

22. When God's against you what chance do you have?
If he really wanted humans to vote he would have sent them a mail-in ballot.
