Go... Vote... Now!!!

While perusing MSN this afternoon, I saw an article that made what I thought was one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. It says that, because an election is never decided by a single vote, that it's irrational to vote. See the full article here: (http://t.news.msn.com/politics/voters-dedicated-despite-1-in-millions-odds)

WTF?

Now, the article does give positive reasons for voting, but it lets that statement hang out there. Come on, People! The notion of THE deciding vote is nothing more than myth. There is no single vote that decides the outcome of an election since no single vote has any meaning in the absence of all the rest. Not to be cliche, but EVERY vote counts. Every single vote - regardless of candidate - is A deciding vote because it's all of them together that determine the outcome. And every vote not cast is also a deciding vote. It's a decision to let other people decide for you - to give up your voice.

Find your voice. Speak your truth. Go... Vote... now!!!

Already did. Have never missed an election.

Already voted, for what it is worth. Personally, I find Obama ineffective, just not quite as strong a leader as required. And Romney, has lived too long in his ivory tower to know what the 47% of Americans truly go through, arrogant bastard.

So I ask for more reaction to the election and it get's posted on the porn side lol. So typical of Broke Straight Boys - we just gotta be different. People are so shocked at Romney's popularity vote wise, but not many people are coming out in public and saying so.. Well not as many as Obama - Springstein rocks.

Please oh please god don't let Romney in or GLBT will go back 50 years and you'll all be god fearing once more.
