Stupid polls. Let's just all wait till the votes are counted. We mailed in our absentee ballots yesterday.

It's nice to know that politicians are the same all over the world. I heard a quote that went "democracy is open to abuse from thoses who wish to exploit it for there own gain, morally corrupt, and is a pathetic form of govenment. We only put up with it because it's the best of a bad bunch!"

I'm a polling official here in Australia (it compulsary to vote here), so I get to see all the comments people write of the polling forms. I wish they would realize that the people they write about will never get to see it. It would save a lot of abuse.

Sounds like:

"Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time."
- Winston Churchill, 1947

Unless she's from a Democrat controlled state in which case they'll be tossed out without being counted.
