Don't know but I believe this.

1. Abortion is wrong and the Lord doesn't look highly on those who enable this to be law in this country.

2. I don't want to meet my maker and have to explain my vote for a candidate that advocates and permits the execution of His children.

3. I don't want to meet my maker and have to explain my INACTIVITY when it comes tome to vote against someone who advocates and permits the execution of His children.

Just me and what I believe - I'll vote regardless of that article.

Also, regardless of your belief for or against abortion - any society that says it's okay to terminate a pregnancy due to "inconvenience", when given the ability to make end of life decisions on the elderly and sick (obamacare) - will have zero qualms about letting you die due to "inconvenience".

Just me and the way I look at it.

I agree with you on abortion completely, but what about making war all over the world? #2 would seem to suggest a real problem with EITHER party, as would #3.

Collateral damage counts in God's eyes, don't you think?

Just the way I look at it; my vote won't count because no matter which of the major parties I back, they're going to kill innocent people in my name.

Nope. By the time our polls close in national elections, it's already been decided. I still vote cuz that way I can bitch if I don't like the outcome and because of the local issues that are on ballot also.

Yes it counts. It's all you have. When that 1 vote turns into 1 million because of the contagious and progressive nature of apathy and surrender,threads such as these are simply designed to seek an excuse for such a pathetic,quitting behavior.

My comment is not directed towards anyone in particular. It's directed to the thought process.

I didn't forget, but it doesn't help when one of our delegates already said that it doesn't matter the outcome of the populace vote, she's gonna vote the way she wants to. She's not exactly conservative by nature.

I still vote every time, but by national issues, it doesn't make a rats ass.

Yes I will vote....and it does count!

Its my right and I feel its my duty as a citizen. And will not waste it by doing what some would consider a protest vote.

Its up to everyone to listen and think through the canidates responces and actions and make the best choice possible.

No one canidate will ever please all of a person's concerns, just get as close as you can.

Andrew, I agree with you; the bad point is that the one person that I know of that is against abortion is so well known that probably only 1 other person knows who he is.

As for the 1 vote counts, yes. The election of JFK was decided by less than 1 vote per voting district.

The question was will it make any difference if Team Romney or Team Obama occupy the White House? And the answer is NO.

Better hope it will .... especially if you live in Ohio . Turns out there are one Million "Free" Obama Phones floating around Ohio and they are not free , but paid for by the Taxpayer . Teacher commented that she had some kids in one of these depressed areas that had 2 or 3 of these Cell Phones . It's tough to fight against this type of gravy train .

I'm with Joel, national election will be called if I wait till evening to vote.


but it's a matter of principal to me, I have to vote for Romney, no not because I think he's the most conservative guy that ever lived, but because he's a move away from the Socialist Party.

In my personal opinion, the GOP is no longer what it once was, and neither are the Dems, they are now out and out socialist and the GOP reminds me more of what Dems were back in the 50's and 60's

guess our country has slid to the left no matter which of the two major parties with which you find yourself most aligned


but I owe it to my kids and grandchild to do everything in my power to prevent us becoming Europe West


I feel bad enough that my generation lacked the balls or wisdom to hang politicians from the cherry trees in DC.


we've let the [bleep] spend us into oblivion while enriching bankers on Wall St., socialism for certain, privatize the gains, spread the losses to taxpayers via bailouts guaranteed by a broke US Gov't.


my whole generation ought to be ashamed that we didn't take up arms against an enemy more deadly to our way of life than even radical Islam fanatics.

politicians and bureaucrats.


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

This.




And the word corruption sums up 99% of it.

That's good to hear Teal. Abortion is my first issue. Everything else is secondary to me, important-but secondary.

In my State . . . probably not . . . Arkansas will more than likely go to Romney anyhow, and by a significant margin. That, plus we live in part of the country referred to as "flyover country", so will mean little in the nationwide sense.

But I'm voting anyhow just so I can cancel my dimwitted brother's ill-cast vote grin.
