Then, for the next couple of years, those same three quarters will bitch and moan when Congress wastes their tax money on pork barrel projects, saps the economy with stupid legislative decisions and puts politics over national interest.

Yep, then when the next election comes around, they still won't go vote!

America has become a land of wussys, all glued to the idiot box (tv) and believe all the BS the media flashes before their eyes.

That aged document fashioned by a group of powdered-wigged men back in Philadelphia in 1776 declared this country to be a democracy, with decisions made by a majority of those qualified to vote.

WRONG! They intentionally did not declare a democracy, rightfully recognizing that it would lead to anarchy. They did declare a Democratic Republic form of government.

Is this a public school thingy? (Respectfully teasing!)

What really surprises me, is that in California, land of fruit and nuts, they vote by the commercials they see..

People are amazingly stupid!

They did declare a Democratic Republic form of government.

As long as we're niggling, they didn't even do that. Here is what they did do:

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union, a republican form of government

No mention of democracy at all. Legislatures chose Senators. Electors chose the President and Vice President. The Execituve chose the Judiciary, with advice and consent. Only the House was to be, strictly speaking, democratically elected.

"According to recent polls, fewer than one in four Americans will show up at the polls this Tuesday"

This is truly sad. What's even sadder is that people won't go vote, then they whine about what they get.

Well, there are some people who post on this very forum who allege they will stay home and not vote to "send a message" to the Republicans.

Some message! It astounds me that anyone thinks they could "send a message" by joining in with the 50 to 60 percent of the lazy eligible who don't vote.

It amazes me that the 'rats can get out the unions, the blacks, the blue-hairs, the gays and the dead to vote, but the Republicans can't get out any group with regularity and we can still be competetive. If everyone that didn't support the socialist programs being shoved down our throats would vote against them (both dem and rino), we would have a chance of returning to a civil society.
