Yes, but I won't say for whom. Voting gives me the right to bitch endlessly about our elected officials![]()

I'll be voting strait Republican here in Illinois. Although I DO fear that we will have a Democrat for Governor, no matter who he, Rep or Dem, it's Chicago Democrats pull the strings. That won't change.
Those that do not vote because they are all corupt or other nonsensecal reason are just too afraid to make a decision. Doing something in politics, or life for that matter, incurs the risk of being wrong. Some are just not comfortable with that. They make all kinds of excuses and afterwards all they do is say "Look! I told you so!." But they offer no workable solutions.
If you do not educate yourselves on the issues, PLEASE don't vote! I just described most Democrats btw!
If you pick and choose the person to elect based on what they say about an issue in an ad, PLEASE stay at home!
Afterall when they get into office they will be TOLD how they will vote. And not by the voter!:frown:
Talking about Dem voters, yet you are so dumb you just vote straight ticket. Straight ticket is for people that but a partys BullS__T an just vote for them. Just because some one is Dem or Rep does not mean they will represent YOU and YOUR community the best

No, Whats the use? Won't change a thing
8 (votes) 28.57 (%)
Don't those who say "No, Whats the use? Won't change a thing" know that they have the power to sway an election if they'd just get off their lazy, apathetic asses and vote?

I'm voting. It will be my first time voting (I turned 18 this summer), and I'm doing it for several reasons:
[*]To buck the trend of 18-25 year-olds not going out to vote.
[*]To elect Jennifer Granholm governor of Michigan
[*]To vote for Regents for the University of Michigan...an election which will directly impact my education.
I can't wait.
