Put intelligent design in the high school biology class? The entire school board got thrown out. Legislators give themselves and judges a HUGE pay hike in a middle-of-the-night session? We repealed the pay raise and threw a bunch of bums out of office.<BR/>Try to take a farm away from a family by eminent domain, and turn it into a park for the rich folks? Couple of county commissioners got thrown out of office Tuesday. They didn't take a hint..when they lost the primary, they ran as write-in candidates. They still lost. I was pleased. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-77148154705118390782007-11-08T04:47:00.000-06:002007-11-08T04:47:00.000-06:00Exactly.

I only get to vote for one representative and two senators. <BR/><BR/>State level politics is a little more promising. A little. <BR/><BR/>Now local level politics is where it is at! I can actually go to my County Commissioner and say "hey man, you suck!" and he (Javier Souto by the way) has to listen to me. Even though I do not think Commissioner Souto sucks. That was just an example. He is actually not that bad. I did not vote for the current Mayor (he had a R by his name) but I have decided he is not such a bad guy either. I will vote to re-elect the dude. <BR/><BR/>I still have a lot of hope for local politics. <BR/><BR/>And there ARE forces out there that encourage voter apathy. But they target who they try to spread the message of apathy to. You can bet that the wealthy fancy Country Club membership having golf playing set ARE voting. <BR/><BR/>I do not miss an election - even if I am borderline apathetic. I always take the time to go and vote. Always. No excuse.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
