]]> Comment on To vote, or not to vote. Or sell my vote on eBay. by Ryan Stansell http://lekhni.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/to-vote-or-not-to-vote-or-sell-my-vote-on-ebay/#comment-937 Ryan Stansell Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:37:17 +0000 http://lekhni.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/to-vote-or-not-to-vote-or-sell-my-vote-on-ebay/#comment-937 Hey there HC, I believe what youre talking about would be facism. "If you dont do things my way ill make an example of you and put you in jail". That might not make for the democratic utopia you hoped. Also, while I sit here in Iraq watching the election near, I know that my vote will make no difference in the current system. I am from a conservitive state. And while my vote will be one tick towards Obama's win, that wont change the fact that McCain is going to be getting those votes that matter: the Electoral ones. While my vote is sent off, and I wouldnt have it any other way, I can see a situation where a person ho knows that their vote is next to worthless might see it as a viable option to get some worth out of it. I'm not saying that its right that it happens, I'm saying that its wrong where a rational person can look at selling their vote as the smartest choice. I would think that it is clear by now that I believe in a popular vote, something that might give at least a bit more worth to the individual vote. But I'm just a dumb kid sitting in the deaert, what do I know Hey there HC, I believe what youre talking about would be facism. “If you dont do things my way ill make an example of you and put you in jail”.

Perhaps if they lived in a country where citizens don't have the right to vote, they might have a clue ... Maybe. These bloggers are quick with their trite little quips, while having no understanding of the blood, sweat and tears it took to achieve and maintain free and incorrupt elections. What a bunch of stupid, naive children. I say lock them up and make an example of them! P.S. I've noticed that some bloggers justify what this kid did, due to the fact that some politicians and lobbyists sell their votes. Well, that's just great! They point out the worst, most broken aspects of our system, with great disdain ... then they defend others who attempt to do the same thing!
