   Um…I think Ted Rall is saying vote or perhaps take America back away from scammer’s.

   I think he is saying a vote is worthless. My one vote has never decided anything.

   How different would things have been in 2000 if 600 more Floridians showed up to vote for Gore

   they did show up, but there were many fewer machines in their neighborhoods. many other scams were used to disenfranchise them as well.

   Gore had more votes anyway. Voting means nothing if the Electorate has its own agenda.

   Interesting ‘message.’ There’s something a bit profound in this comic.

    It does suggest that withdrawing from the process gives you *no* choices, and reacting in a knee-jerk fashion means you only have one choice in our system. There’s also activism, which puts you into the process instead of limiting your activity to pushing a button.

    I’ve thought for some time now that we need to do away with the political parties.
    You want to get elected? You have to stand up in front of god and your intended constituents and tell them what you believe in. No more hiding behind a name. No more institutionalized money. No more job security for politicians.

    MM and Adam: yep, yep, yep…get involved with your candidate. Ignore the “party” tag. It doesn’t matter which party, your candidate has to meet the criteria that you set.

    We don’t need a third party, we need to hold the politicians accountable. It’s a slow process but over time if you get rid of the ones that do not do EXACTLY what the people want then you take back your government.

    Bruce, agreed. Heck, even a hard-core Massachusetts, quiche-eating, overeducated, liberal guy like myself has voted for Republicans when they were the better candidate. More than once, even.

    Well, we should be grateful that we are even allowed to participate in the process, what with insurance backers, like AIG, or Kaiser, and so on, on Wall Street, killing any chance of a public option or premium caps in the Senate healthcare bill, lobbying as hard as Geithner and Mark Patterson used to for Goldman Sachs, now both in the Treasury.
