Well I vote to gain something. I want to get the person elected who most represents the actions I want taken.
Hey, you could just vote for yourself and feel really good.
It's not about feeling good. There are real practical consequences for not voting to preserve our moral principles. If there is a transcendant moral authority over our nation -- which our founders clearly believed in, to whom our founders attributed unalienable rights such as the right to life -- then we will surely GAIN by honoring the moral laws of that lawgiver, but we will surely LOSE and will not survive as a Republic if we don't.
I don't know what "GAIN" you voted for, but there is no greater good or gain than to honor the God who established this Repbulic.
Really!? How's that working out for ya? Blackbird.
