They're Gonna Vote. You'd Better Too!

Great! (0.00 / 0)

"She is going to vote - in at least two cities"

I'm on the verge of throwing up... (0.00 / 0)

Watching the nuts in this video has made me nauseous but the theme is right.  These folks will be there to vote.  We can either NOT vote and let them send America backwards or vote and stop them.  We haven't said much about Rick Waugh ( rickwaugh.com ), the Democrat running against cantor.  However, Waugh personally called me on the phone and one of his folks stopped by my house so Waugh is trying to make it a race.  I suspect the odds are heavily against him but if enough of us show up...

Talking To People (0.00 / 0)

It is by talking to people, door to door, that gets people voting. Sure, 1/3 are R's who will not change their mind no matter how often it is exposed to reality. 1/3 are Dems who need to be given reminders of why they vote and need to vote. And 1/3 are just wanting a nice person to talk to them, answer their questions, and they will vote for your candidate.

But, that 1/3 needs to have someone talk to them.

But, once again, the Dems have to be made to vote.  lack of voting is why Dems lose.

A simple concept yet so hard (0.00 / 0)

If one thinks about it all Democrats really have to do is get out there and vote.  I mean seriously, how hard is it to go down and vote (Whether electronically or manually) and carry out the rest of your day.  I'll probably vote in the middle of one of my training rides this year. For me, I have a good opportunity to see some of the "interesting" folks I see parked outside of DMV everyday here in the Shenandoah Valley with their big placards talking about "Obama Socialist, Obama blah blah blah" and provides me with a good laugh and sickness all in one.

I guess it's just a little hard to imagine why something so simple and so important but also rare (We don't vote that often) is done by so few people in comparison to the amount of registered voters in the country.

Perhaps, (0.00 / 0)

if we continue to insist on having to vote in the middle of the week, instead over the weekend (like most civilised countries)... Perhaps we should make that day a (paid) holiday for everyone. And make a very big deal of that exercise of public spirit. Or, at the very least, make early/absentee voting (without excuse) available to everyone (though I don't like that as much)
