HMMMMM????!

Welcome to Free Republic.
You should not vote.
You should not post threads to Free Republic.
You should just crawl off in the woods somewhere and go to sleep.

I thought Arnold was the Governor..

[Jet Jaguar]

I'm confused. Did the Governor veto your vote? Or did he veoto yur voote?

Morning, lamb.

You will now be roasted on a spit.

If you are not going to vote...

.... then just shut up.

Your voice doesn't count anyway.

My understanding is that Gray Davis was elected by a very thin margin. How many like you allowed him that victory?

How many elections COULD you have voted in? Welcome to FR. Actually, enlighten fellow FReepers with your background. How long have you been in CA? Why you like FR...etc.

So you can honestly claim to have taken part in the process.

Frankly, it's a subject of ( minor ) dissent in my house- I always vote. Every time. My wife never has- in 19 years of marriage. She simply has never encountered a politician she regards as being worthy of supporting.

And while I find this annoying, she is exercising a choice, and one I'm willing to defend.

I note a lot of people who belong to the group I call "wanting to use the force of the government to make others do what they want them to do" would like to see compulsory voting- kind of like they had in the Soviet Union, or China. On that day, I'll vote from the rooftops...

Wellcome to FR.
Voting is a matter of principal as much as anything else. Every vote counts as we saw in the 2000 presidential election.
Go vote!

Pretty talented poster. Even if you disregard the spelling, she got the keywords down. Registered in the last hour...?

I can't stand these whiners who say their not going to vote because the stances of the canidates don't agree completely with all of their views. In my opinion this is just a cop-out trying to pass itself off as being principled. In this world we have to chose between a number of less than ideal options on a daily basis - this is part of being an adult. If you are willing to relinquish that choice in order to give yourself a nice self-satisfied feeling of moral superiority then good for you! There are plenty of other people with less integrity (and even further divergent from your views) that will be more than happy to make that choice for you.

My girlfriend is an Austrian national who this year will get her American citizenship so that she can vote......for George W. Bush.

ZOT, IDONTCOUNT, CLUELESS. One way for sacraficiallamb to be redeemed is to write grammatically correct essay on the Second Amendment.
