So you don't want to vote

because you hate Obama and the DLC?
because you think that if America suffers, there will be a bloom of leftish ideas?
because you wanted Hillary/Dennis/Howard/Ralph to be president?
because you think you will be able to move abroad?
because you are tired of caring?
because you do not think it will matter?

OK, let's grant all of this:
Will that change the fact that the only people that could keep Mitt out of power are you?
Will that wash your hands clean of what Mitt does with that power?
Will that change the fact that people outside of America,
who would die and kill to have your chance to keep Mitt out,
will die and be killed,
because you stayed away from the vote,
just like Mitt wants you to?

You know the answer,
so do the people in Iran
so do the people in the FORMER Soviet Union,
for that matter,
so do the people in England.
and they will not be amused,
when we say,
"Voting did not matter!"

China will be amused,
because you will have confirmed
that you will let Wal-Mart boil your bones
into their soup,
that people are too stupid
to rule themselves.

At least the pig tries to bite the butcher
before it becomes Bacon.
