Hate to disagree with you my friend but it actually does not start there. It all starts with us..."The People", "The Voters" and what we are willing to demand of and from our elected officials..

If votes were so important, then they would allow Americans to vote on issues that affect everyone on a moral level, such as whether or not online gambling should be legal.

If votes were so important, Dubya wouldn't have gotten re-elected in 2004...can we say Florida?

In a perfect world, our voices would be heard by voting certain officials in and out of office, but let's face it, even if our voices are strong and loud, most of the time they fall on deaf ears.

And even so, we could get a candidate voted into office only to find out that they don't have the voters interest in mind when they go to vote on various bills. More times than not, they vote with their wallet and not our best interest.

Don't get me wrong - this doesn't mean give up the fight. All we can do is continue to fight hard for what we believe in, but don't get your hopes up too high.

Yea Win, I agree with everything you just said there. The problem now is that there are not enough numbers (Voters) and the more important aspect of that IMO is that the numbers (Voters) as it stands now do not have enough strength in their numbers.

As long as there is the political divide (Dem's & Repub's) that there is now, there will never be enough strength in those numbers as well. We fail to pull together as a nation, as a voice.

The problem with voting for politicians based on what they stand for is politicians tend to lie a little…

Ok, a lot.

I agree. I'm neither a liberal or conservative, nor a dem or republican. I'll vote for whomever I think is best for the job, no matter what party they belong to.

What gets me is these people that go out and vote straight dem/republican no matter what. Are they that lazy? Brainwashed? Both?

I know most will lie just to get into office, but their past track record speaks for itself. I take their promises with a grain of salt if they don't have the record to back it up.

Yes, all of the above... You hit the nail on the head there IMO!
