Well, well, well... 39%???

Gee, that ain't good but given the extent that the governemnt has gone to to disenfranchise voers, that ain't bad for a middie...

Lets face it... Yeah, alot of folks have just given up on the system and for good reason but lets also get real here in that many states, mostly red ones, have made voting harder over the last few years...

Plus, why does the elction have to be on the 1st Tueday in Novemeber... I understand, perhaps, doing the counting on the 1st Tuesday but why not have the polls open beginnin' on the Saturday before the election??? This would make it easier/possible for motre folks to vote... Face it, there are a lot of folks at the bottom of the wage scale, who can't vote because they need the dough... If the polls were open for 4 days more folks would vote, that is for sure...


And what is with these silly state picture I.d's required to vote??? This is another attempt to disenfranschise folks at the lower end of the econmic scale as these folks, if they don't hardly have time to vote, surely aren't going to have the time to get these fancy i.d.s...

But here's what really gripes my butt... How come the Green party gets locked out of debates??? Seems like the FEC sets the bar just high enough to keep them out...
