No, I did not vote in the presidential primaries.  I can't.  You can do absentee voting for major elections, but not for primaries.  But I've been following stuff from over here.

Those who know me know that I'm a lifelong Republican.  But in the last few years I've been considering my position and whether I want to retain attachment to a particular party at all.  I even considered possibly voting Democrat in the next election, because I agree with their stance on healthcare a bit more than the Republicans.   But I still agree with Republicans more on other issues. 

Then I  saw Bill Maher on a talk show, and he entirely made up my mind for me.  I've been out of the country so long that I guess I forgot what pompous, hate-filled and condescending assholes Democrats can be.   Bill Maher never has anything reasonable and logical to say.  Every word from his mouth was essentially, "I hate Republicans and I think they should all die, especially Christians who are all morons."  So I'll be voting Republican, thanks entirely to Bill Maher.  I can't be part of a political party that spouts so much hate of everyone they don't understand.

Hmmm, actually that's why I can't affiliate myself with either party. Both sides are far too happy to insult and pick fights while avoiding any real issues. It doesn't pay to solve anything -- you get better ratings and more publicity by pissing people off. But I actually did vote in the Democratic primaries this year for the first time ever...
Actually, if I had been allowed to vote in the primaries, I would have voted in the democratic one. Mostly just so that I could cast my vote for "please not Hillary".
Its funny. I seem to think its not either Repulican or Democrats who are hate filled, but all the pompous political analysts and "news" commentators (ie: Bill Maher, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, etc) Don't let these a**holes make up your mind for you. Stick to how you feel about issues. Incidently, these are the only jerk out there as well who believe that "Christian" equals "Republican" .
You are out of touch. I don't mean about your political choices--I won't even go there. I enjoy your blog otherwise...... LOL! But you CAN vote in the primaries. My friend who lives in Russia is doing it online. Here's a link to a NY Times article about it (you may have to register but it's free and if you're living out of the country you should be reading the NY Times anyway). http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-US-Elections-Overseas-Voting.html
I think Bill Maher is actually libertarian, not technically Democrat. I would think that he speaks for Democrats much as Ann Coulter speaks for Republicans. Which is to say, they're both crazies who don't speak for the vast majority.
it doesnt matter what party bill maher is a member of, he is still a bleeding heart, whiny, hateful liberal.
