LinkSwarm for November 6, 2012 (Election Day!)

Today’s the day! Get out there and vote!

  • Politician says FEMA’s response to Sandy is as incompetent as it was to Katrina. But what does Rudy Giuliani know about managing New York City in a crisis?
  • Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus doesn’t seem wild about conservatives. Go figure.
  • Sheldon Anderson on how the Democratic Party left him. “When you look at states where Democrats have enjoyed years of one-party dominance-California, Illinois, New York-you find that their liberal policies simply don’t deliver on their promises of social justice.”
  • When Obama took office unemployment was 12.7% for blacks. Now it’s 14.3%.

    1. Hill Country Observer says:

      Went to vote today in New Branfels at midmorning—not too busy, just geezers like me.

      Pretty much voted GOP except for Lamar Smith, who torked me off with his SOPA laws. So voted for the Libertarian or Liberty or whomever candidate instead. I have no doubt Smith will win his bazillionth term to congress, but this was just my little protest vote.

      Voted for Romney/Ryan even though they are a slam-dunk for TX’s electoral votes. I figure if Obama wins the Electoral College and a second term, at least I might have added to Romney’s popular vote count. Not that winning the popular vote did Al Gore any good in ’00. It’s the little things that count, don’t ya know? lol

      Also voted for Cruz, Campbell, and mostly GOPers except for all the judicial positions that I didn’t think I was informed enough to decide. Being from Illinois, I was not prepared to be voting for so much “democracy” here; in Illinois the political (mostly Dem) poobahs decide for you in a back room, which makes “choice” a non-issue. lol

      While I was waiting for Mr. Observer to finish voting, I chatted with a poll worker who expressed relief this ordeal was finally over saying “it feels like we’ve been working on this election for four years.”

      Amen, sister.

      Gawd, I LOVE Texas!
