Why should i vote?

[leadmagnet]

I wish it were true. We have no real representative government. It was meant that anyone, from the little guy to the big guy could have a voice. The voice of the little guy has been stifled. More lawyers and lobbyists and lackeys then what the Founding Father's intended. So, yes the system is corrupted and polluted with money to where the shopkeeper, the real small business owner, or small family farmer couldn't get elected.

The large majority of elected officials are parasites bouncing from one lackey job to another, continually fucking up the system. I have no hope left for the future of this country in its present state and elected officials. Greedy, self-serving assholes. :twocents: :lol5:

I actually agree wholeheartedly with your comment. But I DO keep voting and I DO keep fighting. It is all we got man. I still have dreams that we are going to be able to turn this around someday.

:thumbsup:

...and thankfully there are more out there who do keep up the good fight than those who have given up. Slowly but surely, progress is made and good wins out over evil. The founders were wise and our constitution is a marvel. Over time, "we the people" are heard in this system. I vote because I really believe that.

Me too. IMHO all you're voting for is a big green head anyway . . . no matter who your candidate is.

First of all, fuck Global warming, but I really love this argument (it is almost as stupid as a snowstorm being proof positive).. They were predicting over periods of hundreds of years , not 1, not 10, 100 that Oceans will rise.. And then some doof buys a beach front house and every mouth breather in the country is like LOOK PROOF POSITIVE IT IS FAKE!! How about you stick to science for disproving a scientific theory instead of something as idiotic as this? :twocents:

unless you subscribe to the theory that Al Gore is one of the living dead, then proceed at will.

It was algore and HIS "Illk" that that said that type of shit....For the last 10 yrs...An no You can go back and look at how they "The scientific communtiy" said it would happen in 10-20 years....THEY SAID IT. and it was FAIL...sorry.... as for the Rush and his ILLK..........How about CLIMATEGATE guess you didnt look into that when your only spoon fed from the tube huh....lol. Its not some "conspiracy bullshit either" You can find the 3,000 emails online and read them yourself.

theres no point in voting..while the main partys man hav little rows over the small things there all in bed with each other workin to one main goal

well, I can think of one good example where voting paid off ... Arizona last fall. med use won by like 400 votes. what if those 400 people had decided to blow it off that day? :twocents:

other than that, yeah, I'm among the walking dead, too, I'm afraid. I voted '08 cause I thought McCain would make a decent commander in chief but before that Bubba kinda turned me off the whole presidential voting thing. He won but he arrested more cannabis users that any of the assholes before him. :wtf:

I think all you walking dead need to send me your mail in ballots to fill out for you.

^ :thumbsup: I do plan to vote in 2012, not sure who yet, tho.

Those who don't pay attention to politics are ruled by lesser men than themselves.

I am not sure who said it but I believe it. Voting only takes a little while and it is an important action. There are people in many parts of the world who do not get to vote and who do not get to determine their own fates. Consider yourself lucky for having the oppurtunity.
