If I take the time to educate myself on the issues and then vote on that information and some illinformed undecided comes along and just flips a coin and cancels out my vote you better believe I want that moron to stay home and not vote at all.

I hear you. (/Texan) :-)

Nothing more thrilling than knowing your informed vote counts just as much as a bused-in drugged-out brain-dead Dem punch.

I think I agree with him. I don't want my vote cancelled out by some idiot who's completely uninformed and votes by flipping a coin.

I've been working precincts trying to talk them into voting for Bush.

Go for it.

Well said Matt Stone.

Way too many people think that being an American means living in America...that's not the case.

Being an American means being informed enough to participate in the American system of government, it carries a great deal of responsibilities and duties.

Being an American means being involved in America, so if you haven't taken the time to actually educate yourself sufficiently to have reached a decision at this stage of the game...stay home, don't go "Christmas tree" a ballot.

That's an insult to all who have given their all to make sure you have a ballot at all.

many of my chilean friends actually flip a coin to decide who to vote for... so much for mandatory voting.

The lazy uninterested non-voter has been around since George Washington was elected. It is part of the way that the system marginalizes the uninformed. The problem we see recently is that the left has become quite successful at motivating this group (Republicans will cut SS, disenfranchise you, intimidate you, etc).
