Posts: 8631 Mar 14, 2008 4:00 AM Admin Shoes, shoes, & more shoes!	Tags : None And our Member Quote of the Day is by Mr. Warthogchattin!! Sometimes these quotes can inspire more or other discussion. Feel free to comment any way you like in "why do you vote"; ... we vote for a better future, jobs, prospects for our kids, general socio-economic things. if you like, it's a natural survival instinct thing...we vote with our wallets. we also get deceived if we try and vote with our hearts. kennedy's camelot bogged america down in vietnam.....blair's camelot bogged the uk down in southern iraq Thank you Mr. Warty for everything and for helping to lay down TYT's foundation with your fun and knowledable spirit!!!!

For the Presidential election this year....I just want this President, his Administration, and the Republicans out of there after what they've done. I think it's the smartest thing I could do for my country currently. ::Join Talk Your Talk:: A general,worldly, political, entertainment, and global friendly forum!!

My husband has never voted in his life and, despite all my arguments, probably never will. If I find I don't like any of the candidates on offer, I still go along to the polling station, write "None of the above" on the bottom of the paper and tick that. Yes, it's a spoiled vote, but it's still a vote. Hundreds of thousands of men and women gave up their lives in two wars for me to have the right to do just that if I want to.

Up until the last 5 years, I didn't really take notice of what or who I was voting on or for. I just relied on hearsay and the media. Not anymore. I take the time to find out what the issues are and what the candidates are like, etc.. ::Join Talk Your Talk:: A general,worldly, political, entertainment, and global friendly forum!!

I don't want to be a party pouper but I've now got a horrible feeling that McCain could scrape in. Even though I'm a Hilly supporter, [I like being dominated by strong, cold hearted wimmin], it would be best if she stepped down now and let Barack train his guns on the war hero.

Just think...if people didn't get out to vote as a whole, we'd lose that freedom and right. ::Join Talk Your Talk:: A general,worldly, political, entertainment, and global friendly forum!!

I vote sometimes I hold my nose a bit but I make sure that hubby and daughter and her SO voted in the primary here in MA. We all voted for Hillary by the way LOL I think maybe time for her to bow out. Although I have reservations about Obama mostly his lack of experience and I worry about the cult aspect of some of his supporters. It's a bit creepy, I will vote for him over McCain any day. So I will hold my nose and vote for Obama.

That's why I will walk to the voting booth and actually cancel my ballot if I'm unsatisfied with all the candidates/parties. May not represent a vote for anyone, but my voice is expressed nonetheless. It's also a means to make sure no one else uses my vote, which can happen in places like here... ~Equal Opportunity Offender~
