That's change you can believe in! Better to sit at home and enjoy a nice warm pizza and curl up with a book on a cold November night than vote for someone you don't really feel passionately about.

One can only hope they sit it out. Low voter turnout is a message unto itself.

The truth is that many of them wont vote att all in this election and that will ultimately benefit the Republicans.

Who cares? At least there'll be lots of voter apathy, and that's always a good thing to send a clear message to Washington!

Talk about working against your own interests.

This is the same bunch that voted for Bush, TWICE.

GOP Party sells pie in the sky, even they know it is only for the top 2% wealthy in America.

Then this bunch votes against their own best interests.

Nothing new here, move along

If they would vote for the Republicans, I hope they stay home and do no harm. If they actually vote I hope it would be for a Democrat before a Tea Party candidate.

I know this is going to be hard for you but PLEASE try...

If voting for Republicans is voting against my own best interests according to you and voting for Democrats is voting against my own best interests according to me what should a person like myself do in November. Not voting isn't an option.

Hope is for idiots, people who really want things to happen work for it while idiots sit back and hope. We see how well that hope worked in 2008.
