Think it through: if you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they screw things up, then you are responsible for what they've done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote-who, in fact, did not even leave the house on election Day-am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created. Which I had nothing to do with. Why can't people see that?

I had no idea you were so cynical.

If you don't vote, you lose the right to biatch about everything for the next 4 years.

IMHO, it's pathetic that so few people vote in this country. I think it has to do with several factors:

1.) They take it for granted, even though thousands -- if not millions -- have died over the centuries to ensure their right to elect their leaders.

2.) The politics of personal destruction have soured everyone on the process. Instead of actually discussing issues, all we get are distorted facts and flat-out lies.

3.) The people from whom we can choose all suck. Those that really could make a difference don't want to bother due to point number 2.

4.) They feel as though, no matter whom they elect, it won't matter -- we'll still get nothing but douche bags.

With all that said, I'll be voting right after work (will probably leave a bit early). Once I'm done with that, I'm playing some Madden -- I have no desire to watch all of the crap.

P.S. Memo to ENDelt: That may be your opinion, but it's wrong ... ya frickin idiot.

Mr. ENDelt. Forgive me, but you are wrong. It is every responsible person's obligation to vote. Please reconsider your position.

Non-voters do impact elections ... by their absence.
Best,

I respect your feeling. I know lots of people feel that way, and yes the system has major problems on both sides with candidates financially beholden to people who paid to put them in office. But I voted today, and vote in every election. I owe that to my dad, who fought in Korea to give me the right to vote, and to my uncle, who fought in WWII to give me the right to vote, and to my neighbor in the Missouri Guard Reserve who's in Iraq right now, protecting my right to vote.

Educate yourself to the candidates, take some time to study the issues, honor the sacrafice of those who gave the full measure to keep our country free, take time to vote, and God Bless America!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

To me, it doesn't matter if a Republican or a Democrat gets in office. The National debt WILL NOT go down, the economy won't take an immediate and drastic turn-around. Until a politician has to pay their own bills, drive their kids to daycare before they step foot into their cushy job, do their own grocery shopping , pay for gas and pay into Social Security just like every other American, will I vote.

[chiefs4me]
