I voted, because I give a damn.

I voted, because to fail to do so means I have no room to complain.

I voted, because its my duty.

I voted, because I educated myself about the candidates.

I voted, because I want to make things better.

I voted, because I see the direction we are heading.

Doesn't matter who I voted for - because both major parties are screwups that have left what the majority of American people feel is the right direction.

Its funny that instead of looking at issues, its more prevalent to make fun of the letter beside someone's name. Democrats are not evil - neither are Republicans. Unfortunately - POLITICIANS from both parties are more concerned with holding power at the expense of the other party, than they are about moving our country forward.

Neither the R's or D's have room to talk on things such as national security, the economy, immigration, etc. One or the other has been screwing those up one way or the other since the end of WW2 at least.

When everyone wants to grow up and realize its not about a letter beside the name - but about the issues that affect you, me and every other American citizen, then we may actually get somewhere. Until then, God help us all, because all your going to get is bickering back and forth as both sides try to convince you that they are on "your side".

Higher taxes and government in your wallet and live is what they want - scream the republicans, trying to capture your vote. Intolerant big business types who want to make you into slave labor - scream the democrats.

When your ready for more than just rhetoric back and forth, let me know, then maybe some real solutions that the people can back will arise.
