CA. Voter Registration Deadline **** TODAY****

[AlienCraft]

If the 9th Circuit Court upholds the original election date of Oct.7 th, TODAY is the last day to register for that election.
If you don't vote, then don't bitch about what happens.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled neffing.

Pssst..... your votes, my votes, don't count (if they do, they're counted in a phucked up way). Why bother?

If you don't vote your heart, conscience, whatever, and only vote along party lines, you're absolutely right.
If you allow a minority viewpoint to become a majority of the votes cast, you're absolutely right.
Regardless of your political stance, to NOT vote is to allow someone of an opposite POV to overrule your position, unanswered. Since all politicians depend on the approval of the voters to remain in office, you then allow a skewed sample to reflect the whole.
If you vote in good faith and with real conviction to your views, you're wrong.
If you are not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
If every young (18 -25 yo) person of voting age voted, you would be a formidable voteing block which could seriously affect public policy. Look what happened in the late '60s when 18 yo were allowed to vote. Vietnam went from being voter approved to voter denied in short order. Todays youth is too cynical, overindulged and lazy to take their rights and responsibilities seriously. < Blatant flame bait. Prove me wrong. Go vote, dumbass </Red>

You DO realize that only the presidential election has an electoral college, right?

If you don't vote, you have no right to bitch. Your apathy is not "cool" it's pathetic.

Precisely my point. A MINORITY of voters affected public policy. Imagine if those that chose to not vote, HAD voted. It might have been very different. Or maybe not, we will never know, since those people abdicated their civic duty.
Just because your candidate doesn't win doesn't mean your voice isn't heard. Like I said before, that winning candidate relies on your approval to stay in office. Look what happened to Davis after he laid out the real facts regarding CA financial crisis. Whether he STAYS elected will be played out very soon.
At the very least, you can take pride in knowing , when confronted by a person of the opposite political viewpoint as you, that your vote contradicted theirs and the field is level between you as a result.

Gratutitous front page bump, in lieu of stickiness.

I DID vote, and you're right, about the electoral college. And you know what? It's the few hundred votes that cheated Florida electoral colleges that pissed me off. Every one know that the bush stole the election under our very own noses. And if you believe that bush won by voting, then I'm truly sorry... My point is that why even bother voting when even the presidential election can be jaded.?!?!

 

[sillymofo]

Oh... and one more thing, do you know why California never received any help from our dear prezident in our times of need? Take a wild guess! And do you know why we're in this mess? Take another guess, the answer should be the same.

I say if that doesn't make you want to get some more registered voters on the rolls, then I missed something, sorry.
It pissed me off as well, and we, the citizens of the US, should be mad as hell and not take it anymore.
Hold everyone of their feets (?) to the fire. Positive Results or one term then out, NEXT, or recall.
Don't let the bastards grind you down.

I say we should have a probational period, when the citizen of this country then vote after, say two years as a performance review. If the elected official sux, then off with their heads (ok, may be not, but at least get them fired or something!).

Sounds like a performance review! Sounds good to me. It would keep some of them on their toes. Never discount the threat of death to get something done right.

I registered! My polling place is someone's dining room

There was no stolen election. No matter how the SC had voted, Bush would have won. He had the majority of FL votes in either scenario, be it how Gore wanted them to be recounted, or how Bush didn't. The die was set the minute Gore asked for specific recounts in specific counties. No stolen election, my friend. Gore would have lost it either way.
