How did you vote?


Obviously, this question is to those who have already voted and who are comfortable with sharing their choices.
I voted for Baldwin/Castle for president, Douglas "Dayhorse" Campbell for Senate, Marilyn Musgrave for Congress (No third party choice, plus I was impressed with her standing up to the bailout bill, even with congresscritters being told to vote for it or martial law would be imposed (as seen on a clip from CSPAN quoting a congressman so threatened)). I voted against all amendments on the Colorado ballot except one making it illegal for an employer to require you to be a member of a union as a condition of employment and another that disallows state government from automatically deducting from state employee's paychecks for the state's pet causes. That means that I voted against the "personhood" initiative, which would define someone as being a person at the moment of conception.

I voted for Constitution Party candidates Baldwin/Castle, and for myself for Congress from the AZ 5th Congressional Distict.  I voted to support the bill for an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to state that marriage is between one man and one woman.  I voted against a bill that would provide a loophole for companies to escape punishment for hiring illegals.  And I voted against further government intrusion into private business.

For McCain, against all the tax increases except one, against all the union stuff, and for defining a person as "begins at conception"

I must admit, LM, I was really tempted to vote for the personhood one. But since the church allows for abortions when the life of the mother is in jeopardy or in the case of rape or incest, that tells me that there's more to the issue. But I can't argue with you voting for that amendment - if it passes it would surely do a lot to stop abortion. I just wonder if it isn't swinging from one extreme to another, which is why I couldn't bring myself to vote for it.
