Political apathy
I was at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles today to renew the registration on my little four bangin' pick-em-up truck. In Ohio you can also register to vote at the BMV. There was a guy there who was next to me who was getting his license renewed. As his license was being processed the clerk noticed that the guy was not registered to vote and asked him if he would like to do so. He said, "No, I never vote." I almost turned to him and said, "You should register and be sure to vote Democrat." But I didn't say anything. What do you think? Would you have said anything? It just seems like such a waste.

1. Definitely, you should have said something.
I gare-on-tee a Freeper would have. Maybe slip in some Bush bashing-people are NOT happy with our pResident-even the ones who never vote. We have to convince them that their vote counts, and makes a difference. Then we have to make sure the votes are counted.

2. you did the right thing..
Stupid people who don't care enough to inform themselves should not be voting for anyone.

3. I agree with you.
If they don't inform themselves of the issues, they'll let Fox inform them and will vote Repug anyways.

I'd rather have those people home on voting days.
