hey republicans & democrats what are your views....I thought Pailin improved on her Katie interview..but did not(could not) answer the questions posed to her ..I am displeased..with the usual political rhetoric..Dont know what change shes talking about, Bush incompetence,ignorance and ineptitude on all matters from education,finance, healthcare,budget deficits and foreign policy.

Quoting jammer2:

Compulsory voting....perhaps its an idea whose time has come, making citizens realize that voting is the cost of citizenship...is that doable without giving the process a ?big brother ?aspect?


I wish I could agree with you here, but I don't.

There are so many registered voters who are so uninformed and just plain ignorant concerning key issues that I believe they would do the country a great service by NOT VOTING. Why dilute the pot(with more informed voters).

For example, if you were to ask every day U.S. citizens about elected officials, you might be shocked by how little most of them know, and this is just common information concerning politics(ex. secretaries of state, treasury head, state delegates, etc.).

Compulsory voting? Nah!

I kinda agree with you, but at the same time people have to participate for democracy to really work...maybe a law that strips your voting rights away if you fail to vote after a certain number of times? I just want citizens realize they dont win if they dont play...

Oh Hell, I'd hate to see that happen here. I'd be all for requiring some form of IQ testing before being allowed to vote.
Come to think of it, or drive, or breed....

After reading up on Sarah, I'm not surprised at how she did...she likes to win and she'll do what it takes...she truly is a barracuda...

thanks for your comment. As an Australian (compulsery voting down under)I am saddened by the lack of voter participation In the USA, as so many gave so much to ensure a vote for all. I just hope many many more turnout to vote this time round after the last fiasco. Whether a democrat or Republican send Washington the message that you do give a damn what happens to your country,special interests for special interest have left your country with the biggest deficit of all time and yet again the regular folks pay the full price and then some.

Quoting lookn4awife:

Hey I agree with you 100%. It is beyond belief why people would vote republican


there just might be a bigger picture to be concerned about...

those that can not believe that anyone would vote democrat...

and how many that may NOT vote at all regardless of party affiliation...
