As usual,I will probably draw a lot of heat over one of my posts. As you read my header,Why bother voting?Hmm?
It seems that I hear arguments over why people should vote. You don't vote,you have no right to complain! Right? Wrong! There are a couple of reasons why I may not vote for ANY candidates this year.
Fair Debate. Do you believe that this actually goes on? I don't! And it hasn't been happening for quite sometime now! Do you remember 1992? Do you remember when there was a third party involved? How about the candidate? I voted for him! Even though I am conservative by nature,I voted for him,because he, in my view,had the best plan for the country. Amist death threats to his family,he dropped out of the race, but still got a lot of votes! Including mine! Ever since then,there has never been a third party,ever invited into any facet of fair debate or elections. And that is the way that the Democrats and Republicans want it!
Back in 2004,the Green Party,and Independents,wanted to be included in fair debate,on live TV. They took the nessesary steps to be included on ballets in all 50 states. But the Democrats and Republicans,barred them from all of the telecasted debates.Irregardless,of whether they were any kind of a political threat or not,they paid their dues,and weren't given the chance at fair debate! And how do you know if you would've ,or wouldn't've voted for them? You didn't have a chance to hear their ideas!
Another reason is,I am tired of hearing the results of the election on the same night that people vote. I am tired of seeing the ridiculous graphics and polls. As far as I'm concerned,the media has no business reporting anything,when polls are still open,anywhere! That can sway the way people vote! If the candidate on the east coast is not fairing good,due to early returns,people further west won't vote their conscience. Instead,they will vote for the candidate that is ahead,and go with the flow! Especially among undecided voters! Don't say that,that doesn't happen,cuz you know that it does!
So to everybody! Does my vote really count? Can I,and the rest of the country vote our conscience? Give me a good reason why I should even bother voting!!!
And That's The Bottom Line!!!

I am a 34 year old single father of an 11 year old young man. I do live in the KC Metro area.
I work a factory job and hold a position in the entertainment biz.
I am a Born-again Christian, and do go to church faithfully. I am of Mexican/American Indian decent(Not Latino Native American!PCed morons!) I am very PC incorrect, and believe it to be an insulting form of censorship. My favorite comedian is Carlos Mencia,if that tells you anything. I love ethnic jokes! If you can't take a joke about your own ethnicity, you have no right telling any about another race,PERIOD! I do love jokes about Christianity,so long as they are tasteful.
I have created this profile to vent,comment, on anything and everything, I so choose! News,sports,American Idol,anything!
I have a Christian-Conservative view point, and don't apologise one bit for it! Bite me if you don't like it!(lol) I tell it like it is! Things that you only say in private, and are afraid of saying in public, I will say here. With no apologies!
Now, if you so choose to comment, please be respectful and tasteful with your words. If you get too vulger,stray off point too much, or are being ridiculously liberal, I will delete you, and block you. I have other websites and email to check,read, and respond to. I promise to try to check in as often as possible, and read your comments. i will not get into longated arguements with anyone. If you love to argue,don't bother leaving comments,as I am always right anyways!(lol)
God Bless You All!!!
