That's not too shabby. We hit a high mark in 2004 when 54% of people eligible to vote in this country did. Don't get me started on voter apathy.

Hey Don it's a  higher percentage than Bush's popularity, he he. I think this Obama/ Clinton thing has gone on long enough, they should go to sudden death, and I DO mean sudden Death! :) literally. Speaking of, is  McCain still alive? Oh, not on life support huh? With world wide famine and these elections I think it's  a sign of the apocalypse

I think its interesting that an almost guranteed white house could be lost because of the democratic primaries.  

cause all the people are bags a crap. Obama and Clinton & McCain are garbage.  no one wants to vote for crap.

 Our high mark was the national election not choosing between two candidates.

All politicians lie, ergo, all politicians are liars.

I say we  say screw it and revolt! hehe Demand  new candidates!

Sad thing is we can say that about ourselves too

I will be King.  To hell with the government we have, or maybe we should be parliamentarians, all one party.

I say EFF the party system, everyone go independent and make them work for the votes. I hate them all. They all Steal and lie. I WANT MY MONEY THAT I WORK FOR! no more income tax, Only sales Tax. Why should they drive a better can than me with our money. better yet They shouldn't get paid they should have other jobs. The senate doesn't need to meet all day everyday. This is why we have stupid laws they have nothing to do. I hate them

They might meet all day every day, but no one is there, and nothing gets done.  Watch them on TV.  The state is worse.

I've thought we should even have a two part system for a long time. and forget  career politician's. Make them go back to work in the private sector when they are done. But what the hell then people like Rush Limbaugh will be out of a job, He wouldn't have one part to single out. I would go the other way with someone from a more liberal view but those guys can't get on the air haha  

A lot of times the process irritates people. I mean how easy is it to vote for something as important as a primary leading into the general election. This country has gotten lazy. I bet if we made the election American Idol style and have a 1 night phone-in election we could get a higher percentage in regards to participation.

I still think it should be like Texas where they meet every other year, for three months.  If they have something special, they can extend.  Imagine the savings in lobbyists alone!  We have way too many laws, and do not need 1000 more every year.  Let's just enforce what we have.

We have a sheriff deputy up the street.  His brother drives a white J style jeep.  He is the worst for racing up and down our street and if you wave at him to slow down, he guns it.  I think politicians and many  police are elitists.  For us, not them.
