Maybe we should start having voting parties. You can only come if you can prove you voted!
5 or 6 years ago, I started going to a neighbors house who held weekly bible study meetings. I figured it was a great way to meet more people. Wonderful people, mostly Babtists. The neighbor was homeschooling his great kids.
One night we got into a complaing session about crime, societies problems, etc. I asked to see a show of hands of who voted in the last election. Out of about 20 people, I was the only one who had voted. These were good conservative, community oriented people....who don't get involved.
I really gave it to them that night!
Good for you!
It's simple. I have NO RESPECT for "spite voters." NONE.
And those who complain yet do not vote AT ALL? Pfffftttt...!!!
In 2004, I actually did that. I invited a bunch of my friends to my house for an election night party. We had pizza, snacks, soda etc. I only let them in if they had one of those "I voted" stickers on them.
Then we flipped channels between FOX, CNN and one of the local channels getting election returns all evening.
I didn't know at the time I invited people to the party that one of my friends was a closet Democrat. Let's say she wasn't too happy that GWB got re-elected but she couldn't really say so too loudly in a room full of conservatives, including her own hubby.
