And more than that we are snowed by talking heads, whether on news networks or talk shows. on the major networks who rig the elections for there is only one viewpoint spoken and that is "my way or no way."

    Amen to that. I seldom watch the regular news networks anymore, and I don't know that there is any news available that isn't skewed to the far left or far right. It used to be that a person could turn on the news and see just that- news. Now it appears to be all political commentary.

You make a wealth of good points about why we should vote and how hopeless it seems to be. It seems like whoever we pick has their own agenda and not one is helping our country and our children's future.

    I agree totally. It used to be that both parties worked for the good of the country and used to be able to compromise on issues, but those days seem to be long gone.

An excellent rant, and your country does sound as if it is in a terrible mess, and it must be very discouraging and frustrating. My own is far from perfect, but nowhere near what you have just described. Sending you best wishes for the voting.

    I still love my country, and it's so frustrating to allow the politicians bring us down the way they have. Politics has become a profession, something it was never meant to be, and now we have a situation like we have now.

I completely agree with. I keep being amazed that some people truly don't see the issue, or misdirect the blame for an issue. My personal opinion is that a huge part of the problem is that things that ARE laws aren't be enforced, or being enforced selectively. Judges ruling selectively. The DOJ is just the puppet of the president and not independent. Our only recourse is to vote any bums out of office. But they knew that and have ensured that the vote can be messed with. It's a mess. Great points brought up in your article.

Some suggestions for typos:

unanamously
(unanimously)

museum for one armed paper hangers
(One-armed)

more low income housing?
(Low-income)

Great job!

    Thanks for the excellent review and catching those errors. I agree, the judicial system has become politicized, so there is no real justice. Right now we have a political system that goes to the highest bidder. Truly sad.

Holy ball-busting, Batman. This felt more light me a rant than a I Voted Contest entry.

It was altogether ...lovely! Being an Independent I agree with everything you said.

Having seen how both men govern for four years, I'm going to vote for the one who gave me a seat at Res Lobster.

Great read and good luck!

    Thank you. It was pretty much a rant, but the contest only clarified that it have I voted as the first two words. Once I started, I couldn't shut up.
