But if do you, remember this. If you don't vote, you can't complain. So, you can either vote and bitch for the next 4 years, or don't vote and sit quietly.

Please know that this is responsible for at least one vote for the opposition to Obama. I'm eating dinner right now and can't bring myself to say who it is for. And it isn't for anyone. It's against Obama.

I almost wrote "I can't last 4 minutes", but I know what that would have been twisted into.

Hey, I'd much rather you make an educated vote for McCain over an uneducated voter just voting blindly down party lines regardless of what they are*.

I've voted for the "lesser of two weasels" or against someone plenty of times. I won't give you crap for it. Throwing away the vote it may be, but it's still your voice.

*At least you can explain why you believe the way you do.

I can't even hear about it w/out being furious. The news showed a photo. Puppy was incredibly cute too (not that that should figure into it)

The U.S. Supreme Court just pwned the Bush Administration for the THIRD TIME about the prisoners at Guantanemo ... ruling they do have recourse to the U.S. judicial system to challenge their detainment, and that nothing the Congress or Administration has done to get around their two prior rulings is a sufficient substitute for such judicial access.


FVCK YOU GEORGE BUSH. You are a freaking TYRANT!

But it also reminded me of all the congressmen who, when passing the thing just knocked down, said some form of "I think this is unconstitutional and the Supreme Court will strike it down but I'm voting for it anyway."

I'm still of the opinion that any congressman or president voting for or signing a law while saying "I think this is unconstitutional" should be automatically impeached and removed from office.

While I don't and didn't support that law at least I have confidence that Bush really does believe it to be constitutional.
