No offense, but I think this attitude is part of a larger problem.
The american people are disenfranchised, we (anyone left of center) dont feel like our vote matters.
The religious right on the other hand? They absolutely, unequivocally, believe their vote is imperative to saving the heart and soul of this nation. I think their hearts are in the right place, but they believe magic is real and giving to the poor is only good when its not called "socialism."
We have to vote, in spite of the situation, if we are ever going to have a hope of changing it.
Hope is free, but you have to make it yourself.
