Early and often!
I'd vote if there were candidates worthy. Unfortunately, there isn't any today. I choose to stay home.
Really? Care to break down their stances to me blaze and tell me why they're not worthy?
i just got back from casting a vote for the judge
Both of them are draft dodgers and I have the do ents to prove it.
Yup.
Nah. I'm opting out of this election because I don't feel either candidate has earned my vote. Aside from the negativity and the 'slinging they've been involved in, all I have heard in political rhetoric (sp.). Nothing these candidates has said has gotten me energized for this vote at all.
I'd vote if there a "none of the above" slot below Hardberger and Castro.
four or five times.Have you voted for mayor today
Translation: I don't know squat about what either candidate stands for and in a vain effort to make myself seem above the process, i'll sit at home.
Manny, we agree on this. I wish I could vote for mayor.
I saw the last debate and was so thoroughly disgusted with both of them...
I voted last Friday.
Ever heard of a write in vote?
Oh, and since I'm not a San Antonioian, are there other issues up for a vote today? Or, is it just the mayor's race?
the only other races are two council districts that have run offs.
ha ha ha....mindreader!
Seriously, I've watched the news, read the articles, editorials on both candidates spoke with people about this. Unfortunately I missed the debate last Friday because of work but either candidate I feel hasn't earned my vote. Now I'm not a big newshound, I'm not a treasure of knowledge.
I see Castro as a little green and somewhat of an indecided leader. Hardberger, I feel is in some people's pocket and will not bring the change or leadership he is proposing on bringing onto the city council.
Then there are accusations of Castro releasing the "ghetto memo" and the picture of Harberger on the toilet, which I actually found funny, but not what I would find in a mayoral race. Castro slinging back with court records and so forth...just turned me away. In either candidate, I don't see how they will change the "business as usual" mentality in city goverment.
Items such as city services, aquifer protection, and bringing businesses to S.A., etc. to me are all the "standard fare" which anyone running for office would say.
If you want to throw issues at me and discuss, fine. I'll speak for myself and not for a candidate. But either candidate just hasn't energized me. Call it a copout or say I'm uninformed fine, but if my vote is so important...shouldn't I treat that vote with such importance and vote for someone cause you say so?
Two district races....runoffs as the other posted stated but I'm not in either district.
Blaze, it is a copout.
Then that's your opinion.
No Manny, he's formed his own opinion, and he has that right. I think it's very missinformed one. I guess it's just me that sees these candidates as being miles apart. Even Castro's own election signs make him look shady!
Well, I'm not a book of knowledge, but in reading and hearing these candidates, nothing's energized me. Neither one has made me stand up and say, "he's right and he's got my vote."
Aside from the attacks from both sides, I became turned off by Hardberger when he got the endorsement from Schubert. They way those two were attacking each other and then became friendly allies just didnt' sit right with me. If Schubert came out and said, I'll let my own cons uents (sp) decide on their own, I would have had high respect for that. But the way these two were on the offensive against each other then became pals.....my "third eye" just saw something fishy.
Castro, I just think is indecisive at times and just not satisfied with what's he's presented.
However, with how strict these term limits are, I really believe that makes the mayoral office almost insignificant. I certainly feel that unless there is a new way of city government is run, longer terms certainly, an increase in pay there won't be an improvement in city goverment.
I don't blame Blaze, The choices kinda suck.
I rather have Cisneros back...
See there in lies the problem with your opinion Blaze. The candidates are very different for what they stand for, and what type of people they are. If you can't seen that, then you're basing your opinion off of ignorance. That is where you are being criticised.
I'm not saying they are the same, two pieces cut from the same cloth.
What I have been saying, is that neither one has given me reason to vote for them. The issues are basically the same, of course leadership styles are different.
You can call it ignorance or uninformed but in reading and listening I'm not hearing anything that makes me energized, it's same story, two different book covers.
If anything, I'm cynical and I just don't think either candidate, most definitely Castro, will change city hall and how it's run. I don't see that happening unless there is a change in our system because all it is, is a revolving door.
See you still have a problem then. Vote for the best candidate. It's as simple as that.
