You know what would really turn me on? If those of you who took the trouble register would get your butts to the right polling place and vote. Seriously...if you can vote, go do it. Its not just a right but your duty.
And don't give me any of this, "My vote doesn't count." stuff neither. Important races do come down to just a few votes, sometimes.
What if I'm just apathetic? You probably shouldn't vote. Wait. What? If you can't be bothered to make an informed decision about the future of the country, stay home.
Can't I just vote for a straight party ticket? I mean...I've always voted _____ party in the past. You could. I wouldn't unless you've checked every single candidate on your ballot from Attorney General to Local Judge and know that everyone of those same party candidates completely encompass your desires. Having a political party is like having a religion. Way too many have one out of habit rather than actual soul-searching examination of those beliefs.
Oh...and one more thing. If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil. Vote third party if that's the candidate that most represents you. We're way too mired in a two party system. I know people will tell you that this election is too important to let party X win, but they'll tell you that EVERY election.
Now get out there and vote...unless you didn't register when you could have and should have. You people can go sit in the kids table while the adults run things. :)

...Which is what I'd say if I was American. Sorry hun, guess I won't be turning ya on :P
I still feel good about voting though, even though I think I may have hypothermia now.
It's those who make the candidates lists who wield the real power. Votes are an illusion of choice for the masses.
With the two party system it used to be easier, I just drew a line on the floor, but now with several splinter groups I have to be a bit more creative.
However, the bottom line is, I befriend a homeless person, get them drunk then set them on fire and see where they land.
Uncle.
"No Voteie... No Bitchie!"And I whole heartedly agree.
But Ohio is totally screwed now, Republicans won everything, now there going gerrymander everything again.
sad day for Ohio an the nation...
Also I forgot to vote by letter. The shame.
