Election Results!
If you haven’t decided who you’re voting for next Tuesday, and even if you think you have, I want to really encourage you to WAKE THE FREAK UP!
They’re both politicians!
Again, my good friend Dusty V hits a home run on this issue:
“I’m gonna rant on that in regards to the upcoming election. In recent elections, the United States’ voters have had “two” choices – Republican or Democratic nomination. And where have these elected parties been taking us?… an unbalanced federal budget, more war, increasing global hatred, $700B bailout (Obama and McCain voted in favor), among others. Briefly, I think it is fair to say that we need to try something different, instead of doing the same thing over and over again.
There is no need to do something extreme here…. just look at your choices. There is actually many choices, even on most states’ ballots there are at least 5 nominations for the office of President of the United States. Who are these people? You just need to exercise some personal responsibility and make up your own mind. Google your state’s 2008 ballot and actually look at what the people on the ballot stand for.
In addition, voting for a third party is not a waisted vote– 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected back when the Republican party was still considered a third party… and many consider him to be the greatest president the US has ever had.
Don’t waist your vote.
As John Quincy Adams said, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
Amazingly well put D. I can’t agree more. Here’s the link for the Idaho Ballot. If you live outside Idaho, go to the website of you state’s Secretary of State, you should find the ballot there. Look at it. Read up on the candidates. Vote.
Thanks for posting my thoughts and giving me the forum to spread that message! You rock man!!
One correction to the post, you missed the first quote on my Note:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.” – Albert Einstein.
We should really stop the insanity, take responsibility for our vote and become 100% informed! Whoever is reading this in Idaho, I urge you to go to that link and check out ALL FIVE candidates and make YOUR decision! You want CHANGE, go make it YOURSELF and VOTE!
Props to Nick! Keep the great thoughts coming! – D
