Yes!  Please don't vote!



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

If you do not vote, how do you expect to make change?
If you do not vote, how do you expect to get rid of those that do not represent our rights?
If so many do not vote, then how his their voice to be heard when those that voted do not represent their views?
It's not perfect, but it is something we can do...
Instead of not voting, we need to rally more to vote along the same lines and views and eventually our voices may just be heard.
Without voting you know our voices will never be heard!

How does a government govern with only a minority of the minority consenting to their rule?   As it stands now, only a minority of the public vote for their representatives.  And of that minority, 51% chooses who wins.  So half of the minority pick the 535 rulers for 300 million people.

So can I assume that Henry is also joining the ranks of the 'un voters'?

(WOW, this is great!)

I agree!  Keep it up!

Just think, if you don't vote, you can't be accused of being influenced by Koch Bros money.

Lol...

Hey Joey, did you ever go to a restaurant and hated the food, had bad service, and paid WAAAAY too much?  Did you go back?  Did you encourage your friends to go try it out?  Now imagine if there were only two really bad restaurants to choose from?  You would learn how to cook your own food.

Ridiculous analogy Cissy Wah-Wah-Wah!  

Get your head out of your a$$ and do something more than whine on a local forum!

To use Cissy's analogy...
Cissy will still be paying for the meal but WE... the voting public, will be choosing his entree,
setting the price of that meal, and deciding how it will be cooked.

Please Cicero and like minded Right Wingers... Boycott Voting!!!  It's your civic duty!
