Topic: Enough is enough.... | |
---|---|
Not that I'm *sick* of the threads or even comradorary around the election...
But, I do find it quite comical and amazing how one black man and one white woman can cause such an uprising in one itsy-bitsy election? Interesting to ponder if folks would have been so *aware* at the time for the "race" of Clinton...Carter...Johnson, or even Nixon...? Maybe it's happen-stance that the internet has given a voice to those who remained silent in those years, but I fear that is not the case. I fear it is those who have only chosen to find their voice through typed words on an internet site vs. making their voice heard by casting their vote. My only voice tonight is for those of you (and you know who you are) that have not become politically educated and active through the years, and just now are doing so and want to find a podium to stand upon...VOTE WISELY, absent emotion. Hard to do, I know...but, if you have actual practice from past experience, you can do it. Do NOT just vote for the sake of voting "against" your supposed opponent, but rather FOR what you desire for this country...our country...as a whole. |

but of the ones who can vote, how many do not? No idea...I wouldn't if I could....reality is that the presidential election is up to the 435 members of congress....they allow the people to "VOTE" as a pacifier....as if they even pay attention to what we think... |

good stuff -- a topic complaining about politics which brings about more political talks... that's gotta give ya warm fuzzies all over, right? ;) (OH YEA...get out and VOTE!) It's important because unfortunately, in my opinion at least, MANY people who will whine and complain AFTER an election are the same people when asked will admit they did not vote. I will debate with anyone at all on how we think differently - but if someone does not vote, their opinion(s) and complaints no longer matter. |

We get the point....go out and vote. Enough with all the "get out and vote" threads already. I agree....first thing I saw at my dads house today when I got off of work was an Obama sign, in the front yard... I asked him if he lost his mind...thats is like welcoming Bin Laden into the white house... |

I would rather have hillary in there....after all....she can't do any worse then all the dudes have done...and it is only 4-8 years ...or if she really sucks...impeachment |
