There is a lot of discussion about the state of this country and a lot of name calling and arguments. It all comes down to one thing. On voting day, go to your local polling place and VOTE. It you don't vote then you have no right to complain.

thats always true, you cant dispute that... you kind of hope people know what theyre voting for though. i think thats part of the danger of spin, which we know is happening and its all LIES, but with a different lable so its acceptable- well the corporations and money interests from the federal and international levels out vote and out campaign the citizens, or just disquise their crime under clever beaucratic socialist guises; and they always win. they own the system, so you have to vote against them and that mentality. its not hard to see what direction the globalist/capitalist/consumer mentality is taking us, and i for one do not want a socialist/fascist world police state, and have no desire to support perpetual warfare.

the other problem is that its potentially pointless to vote if we cant insure that our voting system is sound and accurate, and most importantly impenetrable by outside interests. the DeBold electronic machines and its company heirarchs have a political agenda and they built those machines to be hacked into; its been proven. and going further back, if youll notice what happened in Florida in the 2000 presidential election, the body of politics surrounding the elections were fully capable and heavily manipulated that particular outcome; its just happens. we need to be a little more resilient and skeptical of the establishment and corporate america, the nature of lobbyists and system, and be able to recognize a fraud and liar and sellout when we see one.

otherwise VOTE ON!..

sorry, this is the sort of dictatorial position that I thought we had killed already.

1. people have the right not to take part in this charade which pretends to be a democracy. The voting machines have already decided the winner. it makes no difference how we vote.

2. The truly good candidates are removed by hook or by crook, preventing me from being able to vote for either Pirro or McFarland for senate. I can write them in, but so what? So I should have to endorse one of the remaining candidates?

3. As Heinlein said, only a fool votes and thinks that this gives him an equal say in democracy, your amount of political influence is porportional to the effort you put into it.

4. My election will be sweeped by mediocre democrats, not even decent ones. nothing i do is going to change that.

Sure, i'll vote, but I just wanted to say, this illusion of a say is absurd.

I really wish that were an option. I have always voted, however, I am almost at the end of my rope. The only choice we have these days is the flavor. All politicians are crooks. The only difference between the Reps and Dems are where they want to spend our money. More for them, less for us.
Bitter? You bet your ass I am...

It ain't the voting machines that decide. Its the electoral college.

And more power to the mediocre Democrats. Because even that would be better than what we have now.
