What is Your Stake in Politics?

(Putting on flame shield)..

If the current government was balanced ineffective at change, I could care less about who was in office and I would vote for someone that is neither rep or democrat…

Unfortunately, for me, the at the Fed level…government is so lopsided right now, that pragmatically, I feel voting for a third party is throwing away a vote….At this point I will be voting simply to vote anti-democrat to reduce the dominance of a one party government…The person could be black/blue/purple/green/racist, anti-asian/fundamentalist/pornstar/or half dead wearing depend garments, so long as the person has a shot at defeating their Democrat counterpart. I could care less. Even if, rep’s manage to gain senate or house (highly unlikely), we have another 2 years of Obama to even things out with appropriate checks and balances…..
I feel we need some of those seats restored and balanced, as screwed up as some of those senators/representatives might be and as disgusting as some of those candidates might be….

I vote because it gives me a small voice that I otherwise would not have.

While also believe in the paradox of democratic divergence (think France in the 1800’s), I believe that exercise of democracy is better than the alternative.

Flu, I see that you and I vote with the same philosophy. However, when you want to vote for the senator you might also want to think about who the president will be in 2012!

[quote]- I want to cancel out the vote of one specific coworker who is just wrong on most everything. He votes – so I have to vote to cancel his vote. This is a surprisingly strong motivation. Petty? Probably. But it gets me to the polls.[/quote]

This is just too funny (and spot on) not to get highlighted… It reminds me of the T-shirt that says,

For every animal you don’t eat, I will eat three!
