Sitting out the election, and not exercising your right to vote is, IMO, being a lousy American.

Why am I not surprised that you were flamed??

The blood of brave Americans was spilled to give us, and to allow us to keep the right to vote.

Staying home in a snit because you don't personally like the policies of the better candidate, is IMO, diminishing the lives of those who died to give us that right.

And let me add, sitting out the election also means you have no right to bitch and complain when you don't like policy or things don't go your way... because YOU CHOSE NOT TO BE HEARD WHEN IT MATTERED.

Complacency is the fastest road to extinction.
