The U.S. Will Never Change

[cjjtulsa]

I got lectured to yesterday in a discussion of politics by a couple of people because of my support for Ron Paul. "You're throwing your vote away". That's what I was told. In other words, I'm not to vote my conscience, but rather vote the way the rest of the flock votes. Can they not see that they are lemmings?

They had no reason for supporting the other GOP offerings other than possibly getting someone who can bump Obama out of the White House. That's it. No policy arguments, no principles or ideals - just rally around someone who won't change a damned thing, except maybe the drapes in the Lincoln bedroom. I don't get it.

Vote for Ron Paul, I'll be right there beside you. People shouldn't worry about what others think of their vote. It's a personal, private vote that no one ever has to know. If more people voted what they felt instead of what they were told/used to, maybe things would change a little...and I don't mean Obama style "change" you can step in.

The mass kinda lead the way. On another note, I reject the flock mentality.

Poor saps don't even realize that the MSM they despise has chosen their candidate for them.

I agree.

If my vote is thrown away, so be it.

I share a similar, yet very different opinion.

I feel the electoral college of delegates is corrupt and pure balls...
I also hate that I always have to choose a "lesser of two evils."

Thus, I am one of those youngsters that doesn't vote. Not because I don't care, but because I feel my voice is louder in my silence to play on someone else's terms.

If you dont vote, then dont complain about whoever is in office.
