the fact that we have Hollywood celebs and Puff Daddy telling me to vote, kind of makes me NOT want to vote. I really don't give a shit if this will "invalidate" my right to complain. Big-fucking-deal. I don't want either of these fuckheads to be POTUS.
the funniest part about that is puff daddy's vote or die campaign was a failure. 50 cent who supported the campaign is a felon and cant vote. puff daddy wasnt registered so according to his campaign he should have died.
I actually was at an outlet mall over the weekend and they had the Vote or Die shirts at the Sean John outlet store......haha
If there isn't anyone you want to vote for, don't vote. It's not mandatory. Having citizens mark little circles on a ballot randomly doesn't advance the cause of democracy any. barfo
Even if you don't have a strong opinion one way or another, you could probably read through each candidate's stance on all of the issues and find yourself leaning in one direction or another. One candidate seems to want to take a more direct approach to getting out of Iraq, the other has a less defined path out. One is more pro-choice than the other. Surely you have an opinion on that, right? There are still other things on the ballot than the President. How do you feel about your congressmen? Any ballot measures you feel anything about? You would have to be really really complacent to not have an opinion about anything on your local ballot. I've followed you on here and BBF enough to know you are opinioned. I don't see how you could be willing to debate complete strangers on a basketball forum but not have a strong enough opinion about anything to vote.
I can't, in good conscious support McCain or Obama. Both have rubbed me the wrong way and there is just no way that they are acceptable to be President. Don't give a shit about the congressmen. The ballot measures are stupid. Just not compelled. Farm animals, gay marriage, redistricting...the only one I kind of support is the high speed trains. I've lost all faith in the United States, its people and its government. This country is a joke.
Awesome post! Welcome to the boards. You summed it up perfectly. Its not that hard people!! Do you want a peanut or a cashew....Pick one! Jesus Christ!
Although Pat died over 10 years ago, here's proof he's still got more gas in the tank than McCain: http://www.paulsen.com/pat/ I still have my hand-stamped autograph from when I met Pat at his rally in Meier & Frank's Toy Dept. back in '68. A bright mind and an American heart.
Sure I did. Now this recent trend with bailouts, socialism and just the way this election is being ran. On one side you have an old cranky former soldier that is obviously senile and can't make his mind on an issue. On the other side, you have an "all flash, no substance" socialist with no real experience who seems to be hiding his true agenda for this country.
You are probably planning on spending the next 8 years bitching about Obama. Go write in Huckabees name so when everything goes to hell you can say you voted for the guy you wanted and everyone else was too stupid to listen to you.
There you go. Express your opinion. Screw those leftie bastards like me who disagree with you. Thats what being American is all about.
