Very patriotic.

I'm voting... as always. If guys are willing to die to preserve democracy, I am sure going to be willing to exercise my right to make my choice known.

I'll vote tomorrow. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to vote multiple times like this guy.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

how is that unpatriotic? trust me, I spend more time in local politics than most and I am very informed in Federal. I think I probably have more posts in our political forum than anyone here, not that that matters. Your choice is limited by what the two parties are providing. Pretty lame choice in IMHO. The choices this cycle suck, plain and simple. A law professor and a lame state governor. Wow. I really feel comfortable putting the lives of my kids in their hands.

OK.. too quick on the keyboard.

I don't go on political forums on non-political websites, so I have no way of knowing what is posted there. I vote because that's how we do it in the US. I figure if there are folks defending the process then it deserves my showing up to participate. But that's just me.

I defend the process but feel we are being cheated overall. I always vote and plan on doing so this year. I am just so disheartned by the process and candidates.

Our two-party dominated system is broken. Both side provide welfare to their voting base - one social welfare and the other corporate welfare - and unfortunately both sides want do stomp on our civil liberties and live within our bedrooms. Dems and Repubs are merely two sides of the same coin.

Washington is broken through and through... and that is why when I dropped off my absentee ballot last week, I voted Libertarian.
