Thanks for your concern Julie!

Just so you know, my wife and I voted early this past week.

Of course, we both voted for GWB. Just so you know...

Man with that Numpty in the white house, the whole word needs to be worried , I see you believe the 'simpleton' .. well no accounting for 'beliefs' is there ? .. don't let simple things like facts & truth get in the way of your decision ..

George admits he's the only president since the depression to loose jobs from your market place, admits there were NO WMD, admits Saddam was NOT connected to Al Qaeda, & admits that his intelligence service doesn't really know where the threats are coming from - of course he's the 'only' one can protect you from all of this

So I must congratulate you on your choice .. NOT !

I do agree with the notion that its your 'obligation' to vote though

{which is my interpretation of inferno_gn's intent} - folks have fought & died for that right, I find it truely disappointing (and also most 'undemocratic') that folks don't vote ..

Hi there,

Well, I feel that there isn't many peoples voting at all. I heard that they will be a big turnout this year, but it's still a small % compare to every single person that can vote in a country. That's the problem...

That's the result of the Electoral College, and not a popular vote. I haven’t voted since Bush Sr lost to Clinton in 92...

One vote, one voice, it's a crock!

How you can not vote & then have so much to say on politics ?

Admittedly 'first past the post' is a really stinky way to do things, & then when you add in all the anomiles for representation of numbers of folks & states in the current set up, then it 'double stinks'

- but its the only 'choice' you are currently gonna get ! ..

The US situation on 'electoral practice' is like ours, with the main parties fundamentally opposed to anything (like Proportional representation for instance) that might give the other guy a better chance - 'sod' that any new system might be 'fairer' sadly !

You sir, are wrong.

I admit that in some cases that your vote may not seem like it means anything but it can and does. Take for instance my home state of Pennsylvania. The state is split 50-50% in favor of either candidate. My vote could be the one (almost literally) that elects either candidate. Further, since my state is heavily populated we control a good deal of electoral votes.

So, one person could cast the ballot that put one guy over the top in my state and thus over the top for the whole nation.

Gee, it's a shame that you don't get a voice in our Presidential election. That's really a shame! [\END SARCASM]

If you don't like it, lump it!

Vote for GWB!!!

**confus-ed** · October 28th, 2004, 12:01 PM

So huh ? .. you tell me I can't vote (which most surprisingly - I already know) - & then you urge me to vote for George ? - you need grammar lessons more badly than he does

All I wanted to say was 'make sure you vote' same as inferno_gn, am I not entitled to opinion either ?
