I Don't Want My Vote

[Dinger]

taken for granted.


That is all.

[mcctatas]

1. That can't be all....

I mean, I suppose it can, but a little elaboration would help...

[IndyOp]

2. People who do not take your vote for granted:

They all hope that you will cast your vote as best you can for their good.

Voting isn't our only way of having an impact on the world, but so long as we have a vote we can cast, we should do so for the benefit of all beings.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

3. Well What Do You Want, A Sticker?

I mean, lots of places give them out. Hey, I'll tell ya what: I'll pull some strings and see if you can get two.

[IndyOp]

8. Jeebus, OMC.

[Dinger]

9. Why Would I Want A Sticker?

:shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. As A Reward For Voting.

Duh.

I'm sorry though if that's not your thing. A lollipop maybe?

[Dinger]

13. Sorry, It's Been A Long Day, And I'm Not

catching on. What's your point?

[DevonRex]

12. Grumpy all the time or just when you're here?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Not Grumpy. Funny.

Generally, I sit here laughing my friggin ass off LOL

[KAZ]

21. Ah yes, loosing your head when all around you are keeping their's.

Go easy on OMC, Dinger. It's his way.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. Your Sense Of Humor Went Off To Meet Your Critical Thinking Ability At The Bar, Huh.

Here's to hopin they come back sooner than later!

:toast:

[KAZ]

26. So that's where my CTA was at. Little bastard (tiny actually).

I should have expected as much.

:toast:

[DevonRex]

23. Some people say grumpy, other people say funny I guess. :) nt

[cottonseed]

4. Maybe we should all get thank you cards. Or bouquets.

That would be cool.

[Dinger]

5. Don't Want My Ass Kissed Either

Anyone who knows me, knows that. Not sure if that's what you meant. Sorry if I made a mistake.

[LisaM]

6. Interesting point.

I read someone (on another site) the other day saying, "well, maybe I'll become an independent - so the candidates will woo ME".

Don't take this to mean that *I* - a lifelong Democrat - am speaking about myself. I'm not. But it's kind of like when you've been with the same cable company for ten years and a new subscriber suddenly starts getting offered all this stuff you never got just to sign up - despite your ten years of loyalty.

7. Who is taking your vote for granted? nt

[DevonRex]

10. Who takes your vote for granted? We need EVERY vote. nt

[Occam Bandage]

14. Nobody's vote is taken for granted. If it feels like nobody's pandering to you, well,

that's a good thing--because it means that one candidate is absolutely worlds better for you than the other, and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out which one it is.

[MaraJade]

20. Why?

Because the other candidate is pandering to some other group?

[quakerboy]

16. Vote for ME

I promise not to take it for granted

[Zenmaster]

17. If you are serious about that sentiment.

If you are serious about that idea. If you honestly don't want your vote taken for granted then the last thing you should do is throw your vote away, or cast a vote out of spite, or anger.

Nobody owns your vote. You have every right to make up your mind. As with every election, you should look at the political issues that matter most to you and make a decision based on where the candidates stand on those issues.

[Dinger]

19. Good Answer

Deserves it's own thread.

[MaraJade]

18. I understand completely.

I'm with you.

I'm also very worried that my vote will be taken for granted and that no voice
will speak my concerns. Right now I'm feeling like a person trampled by a mob.

I am sure that millions of others feel the same way.

[TahitiNut]

22. Try being a Michigan voter.

:eyes:

[mudesi]

25. Then vote for Kucinich next time

Really easy solution for everyone.

[KAZ]

28. I've seen your vote, and I wouldn't want it either.

It's been embarrassing everyone, though we're all afraid to say anything. :)

[Dinger]

29. Just Say It, What The Hell?

Go for it.
