Vote Response #1

Only 17 percent of the registered voters voted in the primary. The "religious right" people in this country are very organized and they vote do you wantthem running the country ? When very few people vote organized zealots have a much higher chance of controlling local and national governments. (Responder)

Why do you think that is? Just how organized are the "religious right"? Organized enough to stay just one step ahead of the "religious wrong"? Perhaps that 83% of the registered voters realizes the fight is futile? And what percentage of the registered voters do you think are people who just signed up outside their local grocery store, Walmart, or library not really knowing what it is they were registering for? (Me)

So don't vote just go about your merry way and let the rest of us work at keeping this city a good place to live. Every read "Atlas Shrugged"? (Responder)

I am a little bit hurt! You, of all people, I thought would be my biggest convincer to vote, I feel like you have given up on me, I am hopeless......or should I put it this way: Am I hopeless? Please, give me some credit, I do see the importance of voting at the city level, so don't worry, I will be voting for the city races and will help keep this city a good place to live, its non partisan afterall! (HA HA HA HA). It is almost like the city level races are an afterthought to the Presidential race. It like "Oh yeah, lets do the local city govenrment race too, as long as people are going to the polls for the President race!" The biggest hoopla is about the Presidential race and people look at me cross eyed when I say my vote doesn't count. Do you really think your vote counts at that level???? I have to admit, the best arguement for me to vote I came up with it myself. Because I can.
P.S. No worries, I am all alone on this podium, I won't be taking all of the smart people to live with me in some remote valley until the collapse of the overnment. Just my mind is striking! (Me)

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was never able to convince you to fill out the employee survey so I didn't think I'd have any better luck convincing you to vote. (Responder)

My exact response to this has been lost in cyberspace but went something like this: Voting for President rolls around once every 4 years where the employee survey is 4 times a year! I answered it right the first time and don't appreciate when a company holds mandatory meetings telling you how you should have answered/interpreted the survey. (Me)
