The bright side of low voter turnout is my vote means more.

Your link needs cleanup. It points to the trackback, necessitating an extra click.

I'm in Colorado as well.
scarily, it really looks like Colorado is heading towards electoral oblivion.

"If the proposal (Amendment 36) passes, as polls currently predict it will..."

What can we do!?!?!?!

Let's see if this works:

Anyone who was involved in the 2000 McCain campaign, as I was, knows exactly who is responsible for the "Swift boat" slime attack on Senator Kerry -- in Bush World, all low roads lead to Rove.
When I was at the Christian Coalition, I witnessed first-hand the alliance of the deregulation, no-tax crowd with the religious conservatives. Ironically, the rank and file of the religious right are hardly the country club set. They are largely middle-class Americans who don't rely on trust funds or dividend checks for their livelihoods. But the leaders of the religious right have betrayed their constituents by failing to champion such economic issues as family leave or access to health insurance, which would relieve the stresses on many working families. The only things the religious conservatives get are largely symbolic votes on proposals guaranteed to fail, such as the gay marriage constitutional amendment. The religious right has consistently provided the ground troops, while the big-money men have gotten the goodies.
The realization that the religious right had essentially become a front for the money men of the Republican Party was a primary source of my disenchantment with that movement. And without a doubt, the GOP has merely become a vehicle for unbridled corporate power. Such a party cannot provide a home for a movement that strives for national greatness.

e-ho:

Move to where your vote counts again?

Bravo to your link. Its about time we discussed this issue.

If we need to frickin' BEG people to vote, something's wrong.

Personally, I wish we'd raise the voting age to, oh, 40, and require that you establish that you had a certain amount of earned income in the previous tax year. Why should people who either don't work or who are simply coupon clippers have any say in influencing monetary and fiscal policy? Sure, we need exceptions for stay at homes and the disabled, etc.

College kids vote? What an asinine idea. Wow. Let's poll a bunch of keggers. Let THEM run the country. Sure, Dude. Sweet.
Heh.

And while we're at it, let's reinstate the poll tax, but make it a decent amount this time. Do you know how much the poll tax was when it was finally terminated by the supremes? In Texas, it was less than a buck a person. It wasnt a system to keep people from voting, it was a system to generate revenue to pay for running the election itself, printing ballots, renting space, hiring workers, etc.

Little Dick:

Everybody knows that John Kerry's own words were used against American POW’s (like John McCain and other REAL war heroes) by their Vietnamese captors.

Everybody knows that even John McCain said John Kerry's post Vietnam behavior (all 4 months of it) is fair game.

Everybody knows that John Kerry took the side of the Vietcong, held the same views as Jane Fonda, and coerced down-trodden Vietnam vets (the same vets who were spit upon by people like you) into lying about non-existent atrocities committed by other Americans in the field in Vietnam.

Everybody knows that 250 Vietnam vets have every right to speak out about the fraud that is John Kerry.

Everybody knows MSM is in the tank for Kerry which is why they wont interview any of the 250 swift vets.

Everybody knows that John Kerry spend only 4 months and 12 days in Vietnam and then abandoned his buddies so that he could come home and bash the effort and lend aid and comfort to the enemy.

Everybody knows that Kerry requested his own purple hearts and that at least one of those injuries was self-inflicted shrapnel that barely caused a scratch and that this commanding officer denied his request but somehow Kerry found a way to obtain that Purple heart so that he could go home early.

Everybody knows that most leftists are anti-Christian bigots who blame everything on the religious right because of their lack of historical logic and their complete lack of religious tolerance.

Everybody knows that John McCain, who spent 5 years in a Vietnamese prison, was there in part because of people like John Kerry.

I think he meant to sign that "Moby Hands"

What everybody may not know, but would if we could rely on Big Media to tell the truth, is that the link between the Swiftvets and the people who "slimed" McCain is, um, tenuous.

Kind of like Moby Hands' grasp on reality.
