And since when has your vote or your useless opinion counted?

And I thought I was the cynic. I still believe in our democratic system and prefer it to the alternatives. Besides every opinion is just that plain and simple. Hope you are ready and registered to vote!!! If not oh well... complain, whine and moan.

Actually I will be all ears listening to YOU moan and complain. You see you already have your hero picked out. You believed all the trash he/she spoke in all those phony staged speeches. It does not matter if they spoke lies, lies or more lies. If they said what you wanna here then by golly you are going to vote for them.

Yet within ohhhhh say a few months or maybe even a year you will start calling your now ex-hero a bum and all the other things we all call the current brutal Dictator "The Decider".

Then I start laughing and pointing calling those like you a fool that fell for all that hogwash yet one more time. Why did you not learn the first 30-40 times you voted and were let down again and again?

Even the old mouse learned the his way through the maze in just one shot through trial, error and practice to get to that cheese.

First of all I have not made a decision as to who my hero is. Besides, I am a cynic and don't have heros and like you am very suspect of all politicians. But I still do my part. If someone gets into office that I disagree with (and many have) I still stleep well at night knowing that I did my part in our great political system and DO have the right to complain based on outcome.

You have no right to complain either way if you don't vote. Maybe you should be considered illegal! Why are you even in this country? It makes no sense to me. If you don't vote you don't have a right to have an opinion on any political issue.

Says who? I know of nothing that precludes an American citizen who chooses not to vote from having an opinion. On what basis is this statement made?

You quite obviously have no clue. It ain't worth arguing with some one as uneducated and very very brainwashed as yourself.
