How many of those that are so disinterested in our politics as to refrain from voting do you suppose endlessly opt to inject their unsolicited opinions into political threads?

No, not if they cannot be bothered to vote.

No bitterness. I've spent time in Europe and was unimpressed with what you seem to consider utopia. Additionally, your claim of no gun violence is an abject lie. That said I could care less how Europeans choose to live and certainly don't feel I have a right to endlessly interject my unsolicited opinion.

I seriously doubt you've ever even set foot on US soil. If you have spent any time here it's been minimal at best. You haven't worked here and certainly haven't paid any taxes or contributed to any aspect of this country.

Your endless and haughty attempts to imply some actual knowledge of our living conditions and claims of workable solutions are at the very least tiresome.

Didnt you mean that the MN loonies elected the dope Michele Bachmann?

I'd say about 70%, they have nothing better to do.
