3A DownLow Presidential Election Day...

[jason]

ok, lets see if we can have a 3A DownLow Election....please just vote and refrain from giving any explanations or reasoning or anything like that..

I put those 3 because those were the 3 listed on the ballot in the county i voted in...


BOTTOM LINE: JUST VOTE AND DONT POST ANYTHING

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Just a question for Sinton66; will we still be able to have the bet on the signature line for the winner of the election? I know there are rules for things of this nature, but I was wondering if we could still have our friendly bet. If not, I completely understand.

[Old Tiger]

Gary didn't you read the post. Don't post under this topic!

[LWFH]

Wow, you guys are missing out. We had 9 presidential candidates to choose from. They were, in order:

John F. Kerry - Democrat
George W. Bush - Republican
Michael Badnarik - Libertarian
John Parker - Workers World Party
David Cobb - Green Party
James Harris - Socialist Workers Party
Michael Anthony Peroutka - Constitution Party
Bill Van Auken - Socialist Equality Party
Ralph Nader - Independent

Soooooo many choices.

Actually, seeing so many socialist parties on the ballot here just reinforced my desire to get the hell out of this bastion of "Liberal Enlightenment" and get back home to Texas.

Maybe you should ask one of the mods to make this a closed poll to eliminate the comments.

[jason]

cause then it would fall deep into the depths of lost downlow threads...

If no one posted wouldn't it fall to the bottom anyway?? I don't think voting in the poll brings it back up, does it??

[jason]

i wasnt advertising just voting..

[sinton66]

Voting for your choice is fine, just no discussing reasons or motivations for or against any candidate or party. NO DISCUSSION means no discussion. The only reason this thread is still open is because jason was clear about what he was doing and didn't take sides one way or the other.
ok, lets see if we can have a 3A DownLow Election....please just vote and refrain from giving any explanations or reasoning or anything like that..

Bottom line, I will not only delete comments deemed political, but may also start romming people. The rule is clear.

[Keith7]

understood.. but i didnt discuss my reasons or motives.. just did a write in vote

Keith, if i let you do it, I have to let everybody else. That's not going to happen.~sinton66

UHMMMM, guys, I'm trying real hard to keep this from getting personal.....

Yea, LHPM, you can so long as you don't say anything for or against him.

[LH Panther Mom]

For one of the District Judge spots on our ballot, Quannah Parker was running.

(I wouldn't dream of for or against comments...)

LOL, I wonder if he's a descendant?

[LH Panther Mom]

I don't know, but I had to contain myself to keep from laughing.

[sinton66]

I wonder if any of the kids today even know who Quanah Parker was.

[LH Panther Mom]

Both my younger 2 (13 & 10) do. (But then, they're very bright....much like their mom. :D )

[Ranger Mom]

My daughter does...she did a research paper on him!

[TheDOCTORdre]

Was it him and his brother who started Parker Brothers?:D
J/k I know who he is

[sinton66]

No, his brother Pecos died of disease as did his sister Prarie Rose.

[jason]

ok ill bite...who is he???

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

He was an indian...not sure about anything else. I've followed the rules of the board by not posting anything political, so don't bring my name into it....

[Keith7]

I googled him and I got this:

Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Commanches and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative.

His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.

Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and
Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas. Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured, along with her daughter, during an 1860 raid on the Pease River in northwest Texas. She had spent 24 years among the Comanche, however, and thus never readjusted to living with the whites again.

She died in Anderson County, Texas, in 1864 shortly after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Ironically, Cynthia Ann's son would adjust remarkably well to living among the white men. But first he would lead a bloody war against them.

Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.

Knowing of past lies and deceptive treaties of the "White man", Quanah decided to remain on the warpath, raiding in Texas and Mexico and out maneuvering Army Colonel Ronald S. Mackenzie and others. He was almost killed during the attack on buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The U.S. Army was relentless in its Red River campaign of 1874-75. Quanah's allies, the Quahada were weary and starving.

Mackenzie sent Jacob J. Sturm, a physician and post interpreter, to solicit the Quahada's surrender. Sturm found Quanah, whom he called "a young man of much influence with his people," and pleaded his case. Quanah rode to a mesa, where he saw a wolf come toward him, howl and trot away to the northeast. Overhead, an eagle "glided lazily and then whipped his wings in the direction of Fort Sill," in the words of Jacob Sturm. This was a sign, Quanah thought, and on June 2, 1875, he and his band surrendered at Fort Sill in present-day Oklahoma.

[sinton66]

Quanah Parker was the most famous of the Commanche Chiefs. He never lost a battle with the white men. His band was widely known as ferocious warriors.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Q:

If he never lost a battle to the "white man"... What do you call the outcome of The Battle of Adobe Walls?

Q:

Did he abandon his people during a time of war? Or was he a far-seeing modern man-of-his-times who tried to show his people a different way?


;) Just curious...

[sinton66]

A "loss" would have to have been a defeat or a surrender. A retreat is not a loss. He who beats a strategic retreat lives to fight another day.;)

this is going straight through the night
