VOTE!

I exercised my franchise at 7:15 a.m and they told me that turnout was heavy. The woman in front of me had a little trouble with the electronic ballot and needed help.
So did I, but not because of technology. It's just hard to cast a ballot with one hand and hold your nose with the other.

Why is it so anti-American NOT to vote..if there are 2 terrible candidates, why must I settle just to appease fellow Americans and do the PC thing? Some years I vote, others I do not...it depends on the candidates, platforms, etc...not voting Republican or Democrat or anything party-line just to say I did my civic duty. Do we choose lesser of 2 evils in other portions of our lives? Not very often and at least with voting it is a choice not a mandate I have the right to make as an American..

Whenever I picture the typical non-voter, the image that invariably comes to mind is of all those high school drop-outs that I see standing in line at the Exxon station each night waiting to purchase $20 worth of lottery tickets -- and who have not a dime saved for retirement between themselves.

Are these the people that we want to actually show up at the polls on Election Day? I think not. If anything, we should encourage them to stay home and watch whatever the WB Network is showing on television tonight. (e.g., "What kind of fine mess will that Urkel kid find himself in this time?")They can leave "that voting stuff" to others.
