Looks like I disagree with some of you some more. Conservative...YES!!, I don't believe voting is the most important thing I do as a citizen. I don't even find it to be as important as jury duty, in fact, which I think is very important. Also, if I follow your line of reasoning, that we Americans aren't corruptable, then I am denying the history of human kind. Evil rarely forces us to routinely make excruciating and difficult ethical decisions. How evil wins is by allows us to rationalize away amorality and unethical decisions by others, and letting evil slide in right next to us without protesting or making a fuss. The Democratic party and candidate in 2004 were able to suppress my vote with their amoral pandering. Now, sadly, because I truly was hoping for much, much more from Obama, they've succeeded in suppressing my vote again. Our nation and world needs someone to stand and fight against the evil of the last 8 years, not shake hands and make deals with it. If Obama isn't willing to do that, then he doesn't deserve my vote.
