Some people actually think special interest begins and ends with lobbyists!

I'm not getting the connection to this statement and the one where you thing Independents are full of hacks who don't vote?

PursuitOfHappinessParty

Independent Parties (say, like the Libertarians) are extremist 'hacks' loyal to a party - which by definition makes you a non-independent, but thats another thread.

Non-voting eligible voter percentages at 53%, and voter eligible non-voters I've talked to sure sound independent to me. The oxymoronism of the situation is maddening.

voter eligible non-voters piss me off more than any party cheer leader. They complain and don't do anything to improve their situation.

If you ask my children, they would tell you that I bullied them into voting, but then during the primaries they waited for me to get home from work so that we could walk together to the polls.

At least I know I nurtured people who think voting is important.

And on that, POHP, I'm signing off and I wish you a good night.

That's awesome. I myself support an Amendment requiring citizens to vote, kinda like Australia.

G'nite
