Do you vote
Do you vote in political elections?

Why or why not?

I vote because the local and state level decides the national level. The problem with an electoral college is it needs a foundation and if your not doing your part to put the best people that run in office in place then you should not complain when things suck. Now I vote for everything in the state and research the bills and issues so i now how i am going to vote. If there is a name i do not recognize as it happens for something every time. I would read what party the are and see what influence or how there stances are in general before casting a vote for them. You support abortion and taking away my guns and screw over veterans then you are not getting my vote. I did a report in high school and less than .5 of a percent of abortions are done for medical reasons, rape or incest so that means about 99.4% or so are a form of birth control. If this is to be legal every time I see an Obama Biden bumper sticker i should be able to legally pull the person out there car and abort them form this world. Killing is killing yet we kill babies but not plaques on our society of people too stupid to think for themselves. This is as touchy subject for me and I believe full heartily you should have no right to vote unless your a veteran. Now I know this may upset some people but the majority of America has no idea how fortune we are to have rights. They have not seen things first hand, and only care about their own selfish reasons and not the common good.

What's terrible is that some people things SMs should not have the privilege to vote because of various reasons in reference to not being informed, or being brain washed or being too supported of a republican candidate. Just Google that; there are some article written by these self entitled clowns.

I vote because to me it is the very base of democracy. Without voting, we have no voice. Now the people who say that your doesn't count is making excuses for the glitches of the system and then they don't vote yet they are the first to complain when things do not go their way. I always feel that if I vote, then I have put in my two cents.

Since I received the absentee ballots, being at college, it is much easier for me to remember to get out and vote.

Makes zero sense to defend the right to vote and then not exercise the right in my opinion.

Yes. Yes. YES! Get out and vote! We worked hard for that right! If you don't shape the political climate of this country as a veteran, how can you expect it to have veteran's interests at heart!???!

Damn right I do, cuz it is a responsibility to exercise a right.
I am neither republican or democrat. What is annoying is that a third party candidate never wins. You know it is a money issue.

But I will always vote. If you don't vote than don't bitch!! JMHO..

MSgt Dudley, the thing about a third party candidate is that he splits the vote with one of the other candidates and neither one ever wins. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes it is a bad thing, depending on who you want to win.

You have a say in the future. If you don't vote you have no right to complain and I don't want to hear it
