You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. --William J. H. Boetcker Link
And if all Democrats believe that, then there is no reason for them to go to the polls, either. Everybody can stay home and the state will automatically go to . . . ? Although I think you guys vote by mail, right?
I live in New Jersey. Last guy to win there was Bush 41 in '88. Obama's going to win by 10+. I still cast my vote for McCain.
What the hell is the point? My ballots are at my parents house in Portland, I'm not driving there from Corvallis just to vote when its going to be pointless. It's a lost cause in Oregon, and I'm sorry if you see it otherwise
I registered 4 years ago when I didn't know what I wanted to be, so I registered as an independent. If I had to choose between Republican or Democrat now though I would choose Republican.
dammit. if people are not going to vote, I want them to be registered republicans so it sends a message to the GOP
Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize it was going to be inconvenient for you to vote. By all means, sit on your couch and watch TV while America makes a crucial decision about the direction it's going to take.
Or you mean go to class and work on the weekends. But whatever, same thing I guess And again like I said, my vote means absolutely nothing here. Tell you what, If McCain loses by one vote in Oregon, I'll put in my sig for a year "I'm an idiot because I don't care about voting." And if McCain loses by more than one vote, you can put "I was wrong and Obama is my master"
