Thread: Worst Debate Ever...

    To vote or not to vote….

    There are people who I would rather not see vote. People who vote because the candidate is pretty or someone you would like to have a beer with or because his/her last name has the same ethnic derivation as yours. Those are people who scare me! But that is what you get in a democracy.

    But, as LH said – you don’t vote you forfeit the right to complain about the outcome. All voters have the opportunity to vote in the primaries (if they follow the conventional rules.) To not vote because you don’t like the choices strikes me a bit like a child who pouts and doesn’t want to play any more if they don’t win. Sour grapes.

    In most elections about 50% of the people must live with a choice they didn’t want. That’s democracy. What a whole lot of people in the world can only wish for. It is a shame some choose to waste that privilege.

    +1 ES. Very well said.

    Simply put... Vote for the person you believe in.

    For me, it is Bob Barr. For you, it might be somebody else. But please VOTE.
