Do the Republocrats running our plutocracy make you so sick you don’t want to vote for either major political party? Do you think we’ll all be better off if we vote for anyone other than Obama or McCain? If that’s what will be driving your political pulse as you head to the polls this fall, please reconsider.
You want small government and an end to war? Here’s $500 BILLION reasons that’s not going to happen anytime soon. If you want your Nader, or Paul, or whomever is the preferred politico, please reconsider what your vote will mean.
Do you want a symbolic “stick it to them” vote? Are you supporting a third-party because you really think your guy or gal will win? Do you want to disconnect from the political process altogether by NOT voting?
I support small government, but I expect the government to be capable enough to help out during emergencies.
I support lower taxes, but I expect lower taxes to benefit all people.
I support our President, but I expect our President to work with the other branches of government to make things better for all Americans.
If you’re considering a protest vote, I implore you to consider a historic vote. Make this year the first time in the history of your life and in our nation that you do not vote for a wealthy, white, man. Wealthy, white men have been at the helm for over two-hundred years now. It’s time to rock the world.
Think about it as the summer goes on. This campaign will get ugly. The lies will fly and the one thing they all want you to do is get disenchanted with the process so you don’t vote. If they can keep the folks away from the polls, then they only need to convince ~20% of the undecided voters to vote for their guy or not vote at all.
This election is too important to protest, it’s too critical to ignore. Another eight years of McCain carrying on Bush’s legacy and we will all be annexed by Canada. At least then we would have a viable health care system.
