      You said you had to get ready for work 31 mins ago. Why aren't you getting ready?

          Just because you walk into a booth to vote, does not mean you will be able to do it in the future.

          If you explained an answer to my question in your other posts I must of missed it and I've read the whole thread, care to rephrase it?
          So you don't have to go? Just answer my question then....

              Waste of a damn good vote. You'll never change anything.

                  Hmmm... If you don't want to be GOP, then don't be GOP.

                  Prioritize what you believe in and then go to the coalition that will promote what you believe. If that's libertarian, then go libertarian. I'm not much into tactical voting, because it obscures the value of your part of the coalition. (The libertarians have managed this much better than have the greens, f.e.)

                  There's lots with regard to the GOP that I don't agree with. But I get what I want out of the coalition. It seems healthy to reevaluate from time to time whether your part of the coalition still works and you can still manage to hold your nose at supporting the agenda of other parts of the coalition.

                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                    Democratic political order of importance.

                    1. Getting elected
                    2. Getting re-elected
                    3. Getting elected and becoming party leader
                    4. Getting re-elected and becoming party leader
                    5. Getting friends elected
                    6. getting friends re-elected
                    7. The needs of the wealthy campaign contributers
                    8. Everything else

                    Yes, I'm still in a cynical mood over life in general.

                      Including the continued Republican support for forced abortions, sweat shops, and worker abuses such as forcing women to work in the sex trade. It is corrupt to the core and the Republicans love it.

                        I especially like the sex slaves.

                          If you keep voting to promote forced abortions and the sex trade then you're for it no matter how much you go on TV and say you are against it. Actions speak louder then words; Republicans created this and keep it going knowing full well what they're doing.

                              Btw, what is "GOP"?

                              The word sounds like it describes some nasty bodily excretion.
