[texan]

To all who have opinions, and do not vote. 8 votes separated the winner and second place in Iowa.
Think about that.

Think about that.

Why would even those 8 vote, if they have nothing really to chose from ?

Sometimes, not voting for the current slate is a vote.

Costed Romney $10 Million in Iowa for those 8 extra votes (sani only spent $12 (twelve) dollars companing there) !!!

 

[menotyou]

You couldn't pay me to vote for Zani sani.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of that religiosly white shirt ! That's who you want ?
That white shirt goes ugly with his grey hair, too. !

I think I should run. No one is more qualified in my mind.

Might as well, I bet you get more votes than Bachmann, too !

One of those dead guys on the ballot in NYC could get more votes than Bachmann!

So now your a stylist too?
Years from now, all anyone will want to know is....who won? Not "how many votes did they win by?" The white shirt isn't religious. It's a dress shirt like what any man wears when they're an executive.

He put 'minimal' effort into the state and still won it. Rick put his entire energy into the state and only came in second and will go downhill from here. He will now be the one under the microscope.



A win is a win !!

I would vote for you. I thought about running but realize if they started checking into my background I couldn't get elected to be dog catcher.

If under absolutely no circumstances would a non-voter support either candidate, of what difference then would your point make? What if one holds a principle to oppose all uses of force and in the case of elections, a given winner could very well "force" the voters of the loser to do something against their will, would you still demand their action in voting to satisfy your own ideal of citizenship? Ever read the Beatitudes real closely, ponder them in great detail and seriously ask, what would Jesus do?

I think he is referring to the millions of people in this country who hold real political convictions, but chose not to vote due to other obligations. I doubt he was referring to people who just want to be the opposite of everyone else all the time.
