[A]ll those people who voted for the first time ever in 2006 and 2008 realize that this is not, there are no one-time miracle votes," [Bill Clinton] said. "Citizenship is a lifetime job and if you want to protect the votes that you cast and protect the policies you support, you got to show up again and if don't you can't complain if you lose and everything you voted for is washed away. It's your fault for staying home. That's what people have to understand."
Wrong, Mr. Clinton. Wrong. Everything they voted for is not washed away because they don't vote for the same people at the next election. Everything they voted for is a suckers game to get their votes. It's not washed away; it never really existed.
What Democratic politicians have to understand is that if they don't deliver once they've been elected, they have only themselves to blame if they don't get re-elected. Stop blaming the voters for your losses. You lose because you don't deliver. And because you sell yourselves to the highest bidders.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
I second that 'bullshit' call. The only reason I might even consider voting in 2012 is if Sarah Palin is on the ballot - and it sure as hell wouldn't be to vote for her! That's the only thing I can see my last vote actually produced - helped keep her out of the white house. Haven't seen any of the other promises I voted for happen.
ReplyDeleteLaBelle is pissed off.
hmmm...i don't even think sarah on the ballot would drag me out this time. i'd just quit watching the news if she "won". and give up blogging; concentrate on gardening. become one of the great uninformed.
ReplyDeletesucks to be played, doesn't it?
