Unofficial History of Drama in the Free State

so by voting against fascism I helped implement it?

if you are voting for fascism, you're voting against your own freedom. . . even if you win the election I'd like to know how that makes you a 'winner'

Because, you picked him. He won. That makes you a winner too by default, even if you have nothing to do with the guy. You feel good that the guy you picked won, regardless of the reasons you picked him. Its like football. I pick teams to win all the time. When the one I picked wins, I feel good. Same thing here. If my guy beats your guy, Im smarter than you because I knew who would win and I picked him.............. you didnt. You picked the loser guy.  Doesnt matter if the guy I picked just ate the still beating heart out of a newborn babies chest....... HE WON AND I PICKED HIM!!! Take off losers.

Yay for me......

The BBS needs a "like" button.

Political candidates should actively campaign against having me vote for them. I am like the kiss of death. Once again, all of the candidates I voted for lost; some narrowly, some by a mile but all that had competition lost. I don't feel much like a loser though, I am used to it. I have been a Buccaneers fan since '76.

You live in Cheshire County. This is your fate until y'all get some State Rep candidates that are both decent and running winnable campaigns. What town are you in again? Winchester? That's Cheshire-4. There are no NHLA-endorsed candidates there

Dude, I can tell you all about voting for the loser. In Illinois, if you vote for anyone other than a full blown statist, your guy is gonna lose. I dont vote much, but if I find someone that really sounds principled (not too often) I'll vote. That guy always loses. Seriously though, I really do think that most voters out there actually think the way I described in my last post.

Or Mark needs to stop voting for candidates and become a candidate hisself.  He could take on a Butinski any day of the week.
You got 2 years more... make plans.

Shit, if he even got CLOSE to looking like he might win,  they would bring up his past and twist it all around to make him sound like a monster, mixing fact with emotional content that has no basis in fact, yet cant be considered a lie. Theres nothing sacred in politics and no cheap shot would be unused.

Id give it a try though. See what happens.

Mark, you doing any volunteer firefighting, or any other volunteer work these days?

Yeah they would dredge all that shit up

Bringing up the fact that someone pled guilty to murder is not a cheap shot. Also, he is a free stater. They wouldn't need to twist anything around.

There is a reason Mark decided against running for Mayor a few years ago.

[dalebert]

I don't think Mark can even legally vote.  Can he run for office in a system where he can't vote?  I could be wrong about that.  Someone verify one way or the other.

[Turd Ferguson]

In NH you can vote once released from prison.

Right, but they would put some crap in the ad like "You dont want a MURDERER elected to public office being around your CHILDREN......................... do you?" - Paid for by so and so statist asshole running against Mark Edgington. "Hi im so and so statist asshole running against Mark Edgington and I approve of this message"


That type of thing.

What's really funny is that Denis and I think he can win regardless of that handicap.  It's the antipolitical folks naysaying, cause they have such high standards of who is electable and who isn't elect.
