You know, I realize how deeply our country is divided, and I abhore some of the violence and dishonesty, dirty tricks, craziness and hysteria I see right now, but I am always grateful when I see people like you involve themselves, whether you are right or left, because that is what our country is all about.

I say this because I remember all too well the deep apathy which used to govern us. People lived in a gray world with almost no hope of changing the future. They stayed home, watched television and drank beer. They decided to live on welfare, or low wages, and no one had any hope of acheiving the "American Dream". I used to wonder what on earth would need to happen to wake people up so that they would CARE again. And now they do.

I pray that everyone cares about our country, and I pray that everyone is able to put hysteria down like a crack pipe and get on some kind of political rehab. Think, most of all. Think for yourself, instead of repeating what you have heard other people say. BE your OWN thoughts, not phrases someone repeats to you on the television or the web. THINK deeply.

Do NOT fall into the pit of believing that everyone on the other side is evil. I see that far too often. People are allowed to disagree with you in this country, and that is what makes us the United Freaking States of America, and better and stronger than everyone else. Do NOT namecall because you are NOT five years old.
Search for the dream the best way you know how...and THINK!!!

PS, Thank you for caring, and thank you for trying to be a caregiver for democracy, the republic, and the constitution.

Could it be that the people of North Carolina are turned off to the message that the democrat party is advocating, and want no part of implementing those policies?

Good on you for voting!
Remember, you can always call your representative and complain - numerous times.

It's great you get to exercise your right for the first time. Unfortunately, we're at a low point in politics but that'll shift back. Voting matters. Voting works and it changes things. Just don't forget...The presidential elections are simply the last stop in the voting process. True change comes in helping determine who goes to Washington all along the way. Without a decent Senate and House, the president is fairly useless.

See you at the polls.

You better believe I'll be voting.

If you want a less polarized politics and are tired of extremes then vote because I'm a far leftist and believe me I have much more motivation to vote than fucking centerist and moderates.

see you at the polls bitches. =)

Yeeeah..I don't see Republicans doing Democrats any favors..and vice versa

Are you in NC ?
