Why I don’t vote.

I still have the “I voted” sticker on my alarm clock next to my bed from the last time. I’ve used that alarm clock pretty much every night since I was in high school. The sticker hasn’t worn off because I placed it to the left of the digital clock display- not near the snooze button.

The last time I voted was in 2000. I’ve been rolling the events of the possible voting years though my noggin, and settled on 2000, because it reminded me why I haven’t voted.

2000 was a Presidential election year. I remember. I remember because although I voted, I didn’t cast a vote for a Presidential candidate. I saw the futility of it. Then, as now, I was living in a “Red State”. When you live in a 98% red state, your vote for the leader of our country is a formality- “they” have to let you vote. The ironic part about my decision, then, was that I voted red on the ballot- except for Commander-in-Chief. I didn’t vote. I left it blank- or, rather, un-punched.

Since, I haven’t voted. I haven’t registered to vote. I’ve barely cared about the Idiotcrats in Washington.

Until now. Yes, I have registered to vote. Yes, I’m even going in early. Yes, I’m going to tell you who I’m marking for The Oval Office. No, I’m not voting blue. No, I’m not voting red either. I’m voting grey. Or green. Or purple. I’m voting independent. Bailout Bunker sums it up.

Idiotcrats=Politicians. It’s that simple. Politicians have gotten us into the mess we’re in. No amount of “Change” hot air will affect that fact. Neither will claiming to put “Country First”.

You really want to “Change” this country?

Take the $639.2 million you’ve fleeced people into parting with, and the $11.9 million your running mate has pick-pocketed and give it back. And then go sit down.

If “Country First” is your credo:

Start writing checks totaling the $335.3 million in bribes you’ve accepted. And retire.

Honestly! How can anyone “get” that kind of money and not owe anyone a thing somewhere, someday?!! Think about it. And vote.
