I decided not to write about who I did(or didn't)vote for, for that serves no purpose whatsoever. No I have decided to write about this process we go through and what we are expecting to happen, if anything. The cynical part of my soul tells me that no matter who we cast our ballot for it's going to be pretty much the same, our lives will continue and the homeless, unemployed person we pass by on the street everyday will still be there tommorrow. I have voted for presidents since 1976, longer then some & shorter then others. One thing in all this voting has taught me is this, a president is only as good as the support he recieves in office. He will only accomplish those tasks that he's allowed to, and most of those will be granted only if some congressman or senators palm gets greased. Still every 4 years I vote, for the good or the bad I will be there at the voting booth ready to cast my vote for democracy. I take my right to vote seriously, and those who don't don't realize what it has cost us to maintain this right that we have. I am not one to pull out my soapbox and shake my fist angrily at the sky to make a point, but it is true that if you decide not to vote don't complain about who takes office in January. But by the same token if our president is not performing up to our expectations then we as Americans have the right to express our opinion.
