I always vote, even if sometimes it's between the lesser of two evils. If you don't vote, you don't have the right to gripe about the idiots in office later on![>:]
All five of my older kids are registered to vote. Whether they actually do it, I'm really not sure. Goody! Something else to nag them about!

My wife and I always vote. My Grandad, my Dad and I all fought for that right. My three kids always vote and they don't vote for gun grabbers. They all shoot and have Carry Permits.
I always try to vote, however, it gets harder and harder every election. Most politicians are so far removed from the people they are supposed to represent that it really is a hopeless situation.
And I don't have any idea how this country is ever going to change it.

I always vote in every election. My conservative choices have a hard time winning in far-left Maryland, but I don't gripe about my vote not being counted.
There's a lot of loyal voters in Baltimore City and the two counties next to Washington DC. They vote in every elction . . . at every precinct . . . and some of them are dead!

I don't vote, nationally or locally, never have. I don't take the time to learn about the issues at hand or the people that are running. I have no interest in politics at all. I would rather not cast a vote than cast an uneducated uniformed vote.
As far as the president goes, I feel most politicians are crooks, theives and liers to some degree. The president is just the best of the best. I don't know why anyone is shocked when they mess up or some scandal happens. Not that I don't have respect for them, it's a hard job I'm sure. And I was in the military, I know the chain of command.
There are few people that if they ran I would vote for them, I haven't seen it happen yet though. And the older I get the more interested I get in the subject.
I also agree, if you don't vote, don't bitch about it. And I follow that line of thinking. I try very hard not to down talk a specific individual or say he shouldn't be there. For that very reason.
If you want to hate me for it, go ahead. I doubt I will lose any sleep over it. It's my right to vote or not vote, don't tell me what I should do just because you do it.
