RE: Sportsman ....Do You Vote??
ORIGINAL: Red Lion How about another option for voting? "I vote when there is actually a candidate worth voting for." That would be my choice. |

RE: Sportsman ....Do You Vote??
I always felt it was a privilege and a responsability to vote. It was a big deal in my house -- growing up it was just me, my Dad, and my Grandmother. He wanted me to realize I had choices in life and one of his lessons was the choice of who I wanted representing me in government. My Grandmother always voted and encourage me to vote because she said she could remember a time when women were discouraged from voting because they weren't "smart" enough to be making a decision like that (if you can believe that!!). Today I wouldn't dream of not voting -- even in a school board election. And that is one of the arguments hubby and I get in to -- I see it as a big deal and he doesn't. I figure my candidate might get beat but it won't be because I did not have my say.

RE: Sportsman ....Do You Vote??
I haven't really had the opportunity to yet.
For one thing, I keep forgetting to run in and register. I turned 18 almost a year ago, too. Shhh! [:-] |

ORIGINAL: Red Lion I have voted in the past and will likely vote again, but not just to get a sticker. As soon as we cut the difference between the liberal crud and conservative crud and actually come up with a more moderate party for the people, I will pick and choose how I vote. |

RE: Sportsman ....Do You Vote??
ORIGINAL: hardcorehunter Yes, I vote Republican because it is the best for my way of belief. I wish there was a party that believed in no foreign aid to other countries, a strong military, our borders secured, low taxes, no welfare to losers that scam the system, and concealed carry permits except for felons and thementally ill. Am I asking for too much?:D |
RE: Sportsman ....Do You Vote??
I vote.
If you don't vote, don't complain about our elected officials. Not one single party or candidate carries the same values or beliefs that you have. Vote for the person or party that shares your core beliefs. That's my opinion. I vote Republican. |
