Ummm, no she didn't. She said there were people FROM the Tea Party movement on the ballot.

Thank you, Beowulf.


Contrary to belief, I'm NOT stupid.

Just like jillio, you are missing the whole point. This is NOT about voting early or waiting to election day. YOU said there were people with the Tea Party after their name. It's up to YOU to prove it. YOUR quote was silly and pointless in the first place. if you are not willing to back up your words and prove them, then don't post them.

I changed my mind just to shut you up.

Each state may have differences in their ballot criteria and design but that's the general rule.

In Minnesota, they used IR and DFL for party initials:
IR was Independent-Republican
DFL was Democrat-Farmer-Labor

Oh wow... I thought one would need to apply commonsense and research prior to voting. Never thought it would be that explicit on the ballots.

Well, as was discussed already, what someone else does is no concern of mine. I made sure I made an informed decision before I marked my ballot.

However, it's incredibly scary how some people base their decision. I will give you that.
 
FYI:

Guide to political party abbreviations - USATODAY.com

The parties listed on my SC ballot are Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Independent Party, United Citizens Party, and Working Families. One candidate is a "Third Party Fusion candidate representing the SC Green and United Citizens parties." So far, no Tea Party. That's just my district's ballot, so I don't know about the rest of the state.

Very Happy you sent this....because it proves my point.
A careful reading of your post, shows that Craig Porter wants to be listed as Whig. However "The Whig Party told him he could still run under HIS own principles." That is a direct quote that shows the party itself is not involved with him.
Then about Roly Arrojo it says "filling with the Federal Election Commission(FEC), Arrogo listed his party affiliation as Democrat." That is a direct quote that shows the party itself is not involved with him.
Any more?

Wow. You have an amazing ability to twist things so they seem to be supporting your points when nothing could be further from the truth. Have you ever considered writing fantasy books? It appears that you would be very good at it.

I sucks at writing fantasy novels.

And children's books. Children's literature is supposedly the pinnacle of writing skills though.

You are very much a realist, judging from what I know of you. And you seem to have the ability to comprehend and apply accurately that which you read. Valuable skills to have, indeed.

I wasn't aware that children's lit was the pinnacle. I can understand that, though. Communication with children is a definate art.
 
Right. Anyone can write, but very few can convey in a way without treating their audience as stupid.

I'm done with Rolling as they leave me :roll:

Sorry, couldn't resist the pun, but *sigh*

Anyway, moving on....
