Not too fond of it these days, I have voted in every election since 1958, will vote this one, and if still alive, the next.

I will vote because I always do, however, I am hoping that the next presidential election actually has some worthy selections.  I have been voting AGAINST people and not for people for the last 6 years.  And the only reason the Republicans keep winning is because the Democrats can't decide where they stand on everything.  Which is why we need more than two parties in this country!!

Now that the table is turned lets see what happens to the leadership of our Country. If we can restore some sanity in Government as a result of yesterday's voting it will be a good thing. Lets be optimistic!

Maybe you are happy with the way things are run, so you see no reason to vote.  But maybe you don't know yet how the government affects you.  Once you do, you may want to vote, or maybe you will think that your vote is powerless to change the system.  It is good that you are at least asking the question.

Considering the election results...\n\nCrow?

We don't vote for people based on that criteria.  It's about how they stand on different issues of the government.

We do absolutely. "We the people" have chosen our President, our Congress and our local officials by elections held to legal standards. We have a peaceful succession of elected leaders. We have the power to choose who makes our laws and for how long. The answer to this question will depend on which side of the aisle you sit on.\n\nObviously, Republicans and conservatives will tend to say we have a government by, of and for the people. They will argue that Americans were fed up with the Democrats and the Bill Clinton political machine and made a choice to remove it from government and emplace a more conservative government. They will point to the fact that elections work.\n\nMany Democrats and liberals, however, will argue that we do not. They will argue that George Bush stole the election of 2000 and has brainwashed the American people into re-electing him. They cannot believe that there are enough conservatives in the country to vote anyone into national office, let alone enough to have control of it.\n\nI am a conservative Republican, and I believe the government is of, for and by the people. I did so even when the Clintons were at their liberal and moral worst. Clinton was my President, too. Just because I disagreed with him (more in the foreign policy arena than domestic) did not mean I became bitter and began calling him names and de-humanizing him.\n\nIn the past, Americans debated the ideas and chose their President. Didn't matter if your side won or not. You respected the man, backed him up no questions asked in periods of war and crisis, praised or criticized his policies, and did not make personal attacks. A man was judged on the merits of his service.\n\nNow, a man is judged on one or two issues. Bush has reached across the aisle and helped promote many Democrat and liberal ideas. His policies are constantly being criticized by Republicans and conservatives as too liberal. But liberals don't recognize this because they are still so caught up in losing the 2000 election. NOTHING Bush does will ever be right for them.\n\nAmericans need to get back to the basics. Hard work yields results. Look out for yourself and your neighbor. Stop asking, "What's in it for me?" and start controlling your own destiny. Live and let live.\n\nYou win some, you lose some.

Yep! \n\nAnd I do a mixed bag in voting.... I usually go for canadites I feel are doing a good job or support things I believe in (not just Blue vs. Red).

I'm a Libertarian, so I  vote my principles. Fiscally conservative, but socially tolerant. Sometimes the Repubs are the best sometimes its the Demos. I prefer to vote for Libertarians when I can though.

I Love my Country!!  I believe in my President...I may not agree with him on every issue, but unless I was President I don't think I would agree with everything ANYone did in the oval office....I also know that having Bush in office is FAR better than having ANY democrat in office!!!!

I agree with you completely.  Once the new representative is sworn in, they are your representative whether you voted for them or not.  Yesterday, some of my candidates won, some lost.  I did not vote for my governor, who it turns out will still be my governer, but she is my governor.  I am just going to hold her feet to the fire and make sure she represents me.

Yes, I will. I am 58 and have voted in every election since I came of age, except for two times, , both mid-term elections like this coming Tuesday, which I missed because I was in a fast attack submarine on deployment in the Western Pacific.The way I see it, if you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain about the results.

I voted for the first Bush and the second. I am not ashamed to say and no I do not regret it. He is doing a great job. What have you done for our country?
