I have always been troubled by those who say that if you did not vote, you have no right to complain. It never set well with me, and after watching this video I know why.



It's like George says, the only ones that should forfit their right to complain are those who voted for the poo in office.

I think the saying refers to people who would have preferred the "other guy" to win, but didn't vote.

Theoretically, you could write in a candidate such as Donald Duck or yourself, for that matter.

In fact, Lisa Murkowski was re-elected to her Senate seat as a write-in candidate in 2010.

I'm not saying I subscribe to that line of thinking, in fact I don't. I vote as a California resident. No matter what California's electoral votes will go to my guy. Ballot initiatives, on the other hand, do matter.

Sure you vote in California, you're a raging liberal. You get to feel like your vote counted. I've got a good friend in Kansas who is also a raging liberal and he hates going to the polls and voting for democrats because he feels it is wasted there.

I was reading an article about California and how the GOP is all but gone from politics there. They now only have one party there.

Hilarious.
