“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” H.L. Mencken
I just found that those most guilty of not voting in off year elections are single women and young men. The very ones who came out to elect President Obama. So please, after the Republicans take the Senate and reinforce the house and women’s reproductive rights and pay scales are further infringed upon, and tuition increases along with student loan interest rates and wages and salaries go down, don’t come crying to anyone but yourselves.
Make voting mandatory and put an end to all this religious intolerance and nasty right-wing swill once and for all. Let’s get back to the days before Barry Goldwater when the Republican Party was the Party of Eisenhower and the model for today’s GOP is Joe McCarthy who was run out of town on a rail.
