If the people that stayed home went out and voted against Obama, he wouldn't have had a 2nd term.

Now with school board elections, we have low turnout, and most people not knowing anything about the candidates. Conservatives have taken many boards back from the unions by running candidates against MEA members, and then getting the conservatives out to vote for their slate.

That was helped through political mailings, knocking on doors of voters, and the groundwork that's necessary that 95% of the people refuse to do. Those 95% just complain instead.

Do you think the Democratic Party's voter fraud might have something to do with 2nd term?

Maybe the spineless GOP-e should stop performing fellatio across the aisle on their liberal bffs and fight to win.

You seem to have bought into the "elections have consequences" meme that too many conservatives have bought into.

In a pure democracy, yes elections directly and immediately have consequences.

However, in a constitutional republic, with a bill of rights, and individual liberty protected by laws, it is not supposed to matter so much who is elected president or to the damn piss-ant school board. Our rights and freedoms are still supposed to be guaranteed.

That is what this man was standing up for. He has every right to make noise in the face of his parental rights being violated. He doesn't have to just sit back and say, "oh well, my guy lost" or "I'll wait till the next election and vote for someone else" . His rights are in effect now.

It is sad you treat elected officials as if they were warlords.
