Ok so forced voting on unacceptable candidates is OK

Post #85,059 by boxley 3/1/03 11:41:59 AM Reply	Ok so forced voting on unacceptable candidates is OK like in Cuba. I dont buy that. How many hard core Republicans and Democrats are there in this country? It is the independent voter that makes the elections. If you notice in primarys the left is hard left and the right is hard right. In the general election they both beat feet to the middle where (hopefully) the independants are. This indicates that both sides will do whatever it takes to get elected as evidenced in the last election. Seeing bush pick cheney as a running mate there was no way I could align myself with the bush41 boys. I was going to hold my nose and vote gore, then he comes up with lieberman as a running mate. No way in hell could I support their positions. So flip a coin? I dont think so. Not voting is a privilege in America and I exercised that privilege. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

Cuba does NOT have elections. Cuba CLAIMS to have elections. Cuba goes the the MOTIONS of having elections. But Cuba does NOT have elections. There is ZERO possibility that Castro will be voted out of office. It is the independent voter that makes the elections. Yep. And those who don't vote are neither "independent" nor are they a "voter". Not voting is a privilege in America and I exercised that privilege. Well, only if by "privilege" -you mean- "shirking your responsibility". Not voting is also a "privilege" in many totalitarian states.

I, for one, see voting as an obligation and never miss voting in a regular election. Primaries are often a joke so I'm spotty there. Can't say I've always voted wisely, but I have split my votes on 3 parties more than once. Alex "No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session."\t-- Mark Twain
