    Not vote....sure, that's a fabulous solution, because I don't agree with you??

    RE: Burning/Throwing Away anything "Obama" - in that I don't want my beliefs associated with him. While I'm not sure WHY I'm even clarifying this, but I don't hate or feel much towards him. I just wouldn't want ANYONE to think I thought/spoke/felt anything like he does, I just DON'T agree with nearly ANYTHING he says...when he's not saying uhm, ah, uh, well, oh, ahhh, uhhh, and those long a*s pregnant pauses that is. I can't stand to hear ANYONE speak like that, let alone a Presidential candidate. I'm NOT going to go on and on...this is the very tip of the iceburg, but I forgot respectful conversations aren't "allowed" in the Dog House.

    I'd thought my post was respectful and that you'd all know me enough that it indicated MY thoughts/feelings. I'm not making this stuff up...I actually spend a lot of my time getting education on the issues and the candidates - and not from biased newspapers or news channels that call our President "MR. BUSH". (And I'm sure I need to clarify this too: just because I tend to lean Republican, doesn't mean I'm a "Bush Fan" either. Its a matter of RESPECT. No matter WHO is in office, no one is going to agree with what is said or done.) I guess we've ALL lost our respect in this country, huh?

    Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Think for yourself! You can still vote AND have your own thoughts - even negative thoughts about the candidate you support.

    And yet again, because I don't like to offend: The posts I make are ALWAYS my feelings and mine ALONE. I've never tried to convince another PTer unless it was about declawing or debarking.
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    Wow.....I know that politics are a hot topic, but some responses can certainly get out of line fast. That is exactly why I have not stated some of my opinions here.....

    Totally agree with you here. That's why there's more than one candidate, people have different opinions! Imagine what the world would be like if we were all the same...

    I've never read so much BS in one post. Do America a favor and don't
    vote at all. Geeze.

    That statement is truly reprehensible.

    While I have expressed to some on this board my concerns (in private) that the franchise is overly open, I would never, ever tell someone not to vote, especially in such an insulting manner.

    Quite to the contrary, I encourage people to vote, as I personally believe that if you don't vote, I don't want to hear you complaining about decisions made by government.

    Being engaged in the political process is a necessary part of citizenship. Comments such as the one above are one of many reasons too many people say "chuck it, why bother getting involved"

    Can the elitist bull, Liz.
