Would you believe it if I told you there is at least one 57 year old man in the Commonwealth of Kentucky who has NEVER voted? Yep, it's true! Today I was listening to WHAS 84 talk radio. The topic had to do with voting in the primary election....the host, Mandy Connell, took a call from a man who said in his 57 years he had never voted (in any election)......he basically said that there was no one he felt could do the job and so he just didn't vote....quite frankly he almost sounded proud of that fact. And people have to ask what is wrong with our country!
It is our right, NOT our privilege, our RIGHT to vote in all elections.....this is why the Founding Fathers broke away from England....we are all equal in the eyes of the law.....I'm furious that people are so cavalier about this. And it is this attitude that is causing our country to become top heavy with career politicians.....as a nation we are becoming lazy and now with the health care fiasco we are on our way to becoming socialist. Let the government take care of us!?! Are you crazy?????
My wonderful father always had a saying (among many) about a non-qualified political candidate: "I wouldn't vote for him if he was running for dog catcher"....well, daddy, maybe you wouldn't because you took the time to know the candidates and the issues but maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there who deserves a chance to try his hand at being a dog catcher.....and if not he could always be voted out!
Exercise your right.....VOTE!!!!
