Here's why:It is your "perception" that half of FR folks stayed home. I'd bet that very few FR people failed to vote. You are confusing what you read in the press about the "stay-at-home Republicans."
I find your incessant rants objectionable.
The last time I looked, voting was not compulsory.
Stating that someone who didn't vote as being unpatriotic? That dopey statement really frosts my ass.
It's an American's right to choose.
In '08 I'll be voting for Newt or Rudy. If you disagree, am I unpatriotic because I didn't vote for your guy?
Do you think Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller are unpatriotic? I'm sure they voted for democrats.
Take a deep breath, suck it up, and just get off it.
