Discouraged Voter?

As a Romney voter, this woman may get skinned alive in Marin County!

As I sit here finishing up my latest painting, off work with a knee injury for weeks, waiting for surgery, I am discouraged about VOTER DAY.

I have done my homework, checking things out with my sis in Colorado — her husband was a state legislator for several years and keeps up on the political front like no other in our family. Well here goes, they went to SEE Rick Santorum, Obama and Ryan so far. Rick was my first choice after Bachmann ... Oh, I hear the groans coming from all my liberal "fans" in Marin now.

After much study online, with sis, and with the movie at the Northgate mall, Obama's America 2016, I KNOW I am not voting for him again. I did last time and even bought his buttons, donated from my low income, and thought a man of color was the "ticket." OMG, is that how they say it?

OMG, Obama is the one NOT to vote for this time. Yes, he is cute at times. He is a good father ... well, that depends on his girls, he listened to about gay marriage?? What father takes the PRESIDENT lead over what his kids told him was right at the dinner table?

I'm an old radical, and yes, a rascal too — I went to ACLU meetings, political meetings, marches and the like. I went to money raise for Kathleen Brown in my distant past. But this time around, I am wearing a Republican coat!  

If you hate Romney because he is rich well, Obama is a multimillionaire, also!

It has been said that Obama is gutting America, ending our prayers, and for gay marriage as well as abortions. I have too much knowledge about all of those to say yes to them, or any person who runs for office with those issues in their "yes" column. I will at this point vote for most anyone other than Obama.

Enough said, I am sure my car tires will be flat before morning, my back will have a knife in it, and my American flag may get burned before Nov. 5. 

Just please remember: This is our FREEDOM to vote who we believe in.

I agree. I'm not liking the new format. It's harder to navigate. I'm bummed b/c it used to be myRead More go to site for Novato news.

Thankful for Moylan's Brewing, and their commitment to the community. Support locally owned businessRead More first in Novato.

This new site is great . I wonder if the Posters who wanted to run the old Patch site with allRead More the phony garbage/ postings are sneaking a peak to see a new / better patch . They all complained and said they will quit if not changed back. Guess what folks We have always told you if you want change you need to get out of your computers face and take action . We did just that and look at our reward, A new site for regular people who have common sense .. Thank You Patch

What is going on here

I love the new delete button. It is a welcome feature. Now I really feel like I am writing my ownRead More blog. Thank you Novato Patch.

Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, andRead More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.

Craig I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research andRead More commentary and has replaced it with irrelevant banter and Ads. It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch. If you have been following the Plan Bay Area debate here is a link to the response from the Supervisor's: http://www.marincounty.org/Main/~/media/Files/MarinGov/Board%20Actions/20130514CDAPlanBayArea-LTR.pdf There is also a presentation by the Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area: Is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin? Calendar: Novato Community Alliance Title: Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area Date: 30.05.2013 18:30 - 20:30 Location: Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael " A forum sponsored by the Marin Economic Forum on the Plan Bay Area will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 30th in the Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael. Panelists will be Plan Bay Area proponents Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey; Napa County Supervisor Mark Luce, president of ABAG; and critics Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute, author of "Gridlock"; and Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant and former chief financial officer of the Southern California Rapid Transit District. Moderator will be Marin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams. Admission is free."

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.

Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance andRead More Novato Homeowners Association. Both are grassroots groups working with local government to ask much needed questions regarding Plan Bay Area. Your comments are reminiscent of a previous poster named Bud Lite who was engaged in heated exchanges. Since his name continued to evolve it was only his message that made him recognizable. No one can give you the world but NCA and NHA are both resources that can provide information and discussion of important local issues.
Peter May 17, 2013 at 11:28 am
Hello, It took our groups letters to get the change as we do not want to read someones garbageRead More that takes twenty posts to say one thing . I have never had a heated exchange with you but I can tell you I was sick of reading your garbage like a lot of other people were. You and your group promised the world, told it the only way you wanted the outcome to be and got caught by the real people of Novato
Tina McMillan May 17, 2013 at 08:45 am
Peter aka Bud Lite Welcome back. Its good to know some things never change, like folks that trollRead More for a heated exchange.
Joan May 20, 2013 at 05:19 pm
I was a regular reader of the previous patch. I seldom if ever commented. However, I have to agreeRead More that it takes too much of my time to deal with the new one. And a previously active "techie" friend also finds it less than newsy. This is the first time I have been able to even read anything. I have no problem with other sites, but it jumps all over my screen. Something isn't right.
Tammy R May 20, 2013 at 10:07 am
People like Tina McMullin are upset because Patch is no longer her personal soap box. HerRead More decpiction of you and other Patch designers as "Terrorists" is insensitive and pathetic. That is the site people like Tina prefer. If you're not careful, Patch will once again turn in to an angry blog for the repressed and narcissistic.
Tammy R May 20, 2013 at 10:04 am
Jim and Patch...great layout change. If you focus more on the news rather than being a conduit toRead More pure negative commentary, Patch may very well succeed.
Craig Belfor May 19, 2013 at 01:49 pm
Gee, big surprise! we don't get to hear about this important news, but Julia gets front page everyRead More time.
Tracey Ruiz May 15, 2013 at 10:55 am
We had a story yesterday on Novato Patch with very lively discussion. Unfortunately it didn'tRead More migrate over with the new format. I'm hoping it will pop up soon.

I think I'm a victim of elder abuse. I've worked hard all my live, amassed enough to get me by, butRead More now find my resources being sucked dry by some non working parasites that seem to be imune to all attempts to rid them.They've got the neighbors on their side, the support of the city council, and the cops are powerless to do anything about it as long as the courts refuse to take the situation seriously. They're holed up in a crack house across from 7-11 on Diablo, and although the cops bust them daily, they've been able to keep their address off the news and police reports. Anyone who opposes them is called a racist redneck and harrassed for not being more caring of the less fortunate, but they don't do anything to support themselves as it's too easy to steal my money. Most of them have crimminal records, guns, drugs, and fatherless children, and are soaking up my resources to the point of banckruptcy. The local high scools keep suspending them, but they just keep comming back. They hang out begging on every street corner, break into cars, get drunk in public, and spend my tax dollars getting high. Can anyone help me?
