And remember the USA is still in a depression despite blowing more than a trillion dollars (BEYOND) revenue every year since you last voted for Obama. Don't make the same mistake again.
He's still a clueless community organizer.
It would be so nice, just for once, to actually have someone worth voting for.......
Straight question:Originally Posted by Davis Knowlton
When was the last time that there was a candidate that you thought was worth voting for, and who was it?
/Answers by PM/repo are acceptable if you wish to avoid the inevitable threadjack arguments that will ensue!
Straight answer: Never.
Thanks Humbert. With all my years working overseas, I had gotten used to having a voting assistance officer available to provide the reminder. Much appreciated.
You'll never have a decent candidate to vote for when you basically have a closed 2 party system and the amount of money needed makes it impossible for anyone to challenge the current system, plus both the Dems and Reps like the status quo.

Informed!! Ya have to be informed to vote? Well, I never would have thought it.Originally Posted by barbaro
I'm already registered. I'm going to vote for the guy spends the most money on campaign. Have to wait til the last minute. Put me in the undecided column.
If i were american then probably i would vote for the candidate who hired the most female college cheerleaders. It would be the only act one could take seriously amongst all those party political flashing white teeth and self-congratulatory back slapping.
I would rather, as in previous terms, have ignored the whole quite nauseating charade but with TD it's a wee bit like trying to hide on a washing line so I wont be sorry when the electioneering showtime is well and truly over and americans can then return to some of their more routine razzamataz.
How anyone outside the 1% could possibly vote for Romney is beyond comprehension imo. In the current global economic crisis he is the anti-christ. A parasite amongst his hosts, and whilst not possibly alone he simply appears to have no shame in flaunting it. Come on americans, do the right thing, kick this sponger and his ilk into touch.
I've been voting since the 1980s.
For the lessor of the two bad, I think it would be better to have Obama than Romney.
So, Obama is my choice (although I'll vote for Gary Johnson).
They both stink. Obama and Romney.
This is the problem with US democracy and many others.
The US in particular has become so hopelessly corrupt that no candidate is worth voting for. If you are not corrupt you would never get to be a candidate in the first place, the party system guarantees that. Even if,by some miracle a scrupulously honest and moral man were to be elected, congress and the senate would hamstring him.

Completing and Returning Absentee Ballots
3 October 2012
Absentee ballots already delivered to overseas voters. Every U.S. citizen who requested an absentee ballot and selected the fax or email delivery option should have it by now. Please vote and take steps to return your voted ballot promptly so your vote will count. See instructions below.
Returning your ballot by mail. Place your voted ballot in a U.S. postage-paid envelope containing the address of your local election officials. Drop it off at the American Citizen Services unit of U.S. Embassy Bangkok and we’ll send it back home for you without the need to pay international postage. It takes about seven to ten days for ballots sent through the Embassy post office to reach the U.S.
For purposes of ballot-drop off only, we will have extended hours from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays (excluding U.S. and Thai holidays). No appointment is required to drop off a ballot. All other routine services are available by appointment only 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays (excluding U.S. and Thai holidays and the last Friday of each month).
If you can’t visit the Embassy in person, ask a friend or colleague to drop off your ballot envelope for you. If it’s easier for you to use Thailand's postal system, be sure to affix sufficient international postage, and allow sufficient time for international mail delivery. If time is tight, you may want to use a private courier service (e.g., FedEx, UPS, or DHL) to meet your state's ballot receipt deadline.
Returning your ballot by email, fax, or upload. Some states allow these options, but may also require you to still mail in the signed paper ballot. Learn more at the Federal Voting Assistance Program's website at Federal Voting Assistance Program - Home - To Vote Absentee, Start By Telling Us Who You Are.
Haven’t received your ballot yet? Use the emergency write-in ballot. U.S. citizens who requested an absentee ballot but haven’t received it should go to Federal Voting Assistance Program - Home - To Vote Absentee, Start By Telling Us Who You Are to complete a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot. Follow the above guidance for returning your ballot. If you later receive your regular absentee ballot, vote and return it immediately. Local election officials will count just one ballot per voter, and will use the regular ballot if received by your state’s ballot receipt deadline.
Forgot to register or request an absentee ballot? Act immediately! There are three options:
Option #1: Register and request a ballot today using the federal post card application at Federal Voting Assistance Program - Home - To Vote Absentee, Start By Telling Us Who You Are. Select the electronic ballot delivery option, include your email address (and fax number) and send it to local election officials in your state. Almost every state lets you submit it by email or fax. Once your application is processed they will send you your ballot via fax or email depending on your state. Vote as soon as you receive the blank ballot. Registration deadlines vary and some are as early as October 7, so check your state’s requirements carefully.
Option#2: Follow the instructions in Option #1, but also complete and send in a Federal Write-in Ballot at the same time to make sure your vote is counted. This option may be the best one for first-time voters if your state requires you to submit your Federal Post Card Application by mail. Vote and submit your regular absentee ballot if/when it arrives. Local election officials will count just one ballot per voter, and will use the regular ballot if it's received by the ballot receipt deadline.
Option #3: Voters from the following states can use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot as a combined voter registration form, absentee ballot request, and absentee ballot: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. (NOTE: This form must reach your local election officials by your state's absentee ballot request deadline or voter registration deadline, whichever is first.)
Returning your Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot by mail. Follow the guidance above for returning your ballot by mail.
Returning your Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot by email or fax. The following states allow voters to email or fax their signed, voted Federal Write-in Absentee Ballots back to local election officials: Arizona, California (fax only), Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia. (NOTE: see instructions at Federal Voting Assistance Program - Home - To Vote Absentee, Start By Telling Us Who You Are for faxing or emailing your voted ballot.)

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I'm 35 and I've never come close to voting ever, and I'm fairly sure I'll never feel the need. Is that unusual?
VOTE OBAMA !
he is much needed in the world...
vote, just to make double sure, no extremists like romney take over...
thx.
the whole world looks at you...
every country would give obama a landslide victory...
you have to vote, to show that you are with us...
he will win anyway, but the number of votes will "count" - in the eyes of the world...
Heck ali, you don't understand the USA and it's version of manifest destiny. If the rest of the world implored "vote Republican", very many of them would use that as a reason to vote Communist.
