>>Our political tradition is to fight things out. If you allow an idea to stand unchallenged -- guess what, the fact that you didn't object means that now you own it. It was your idea as well.<< Lt. Weinberg: "I strenuously object?" Is that how it works? Hm? "Objection." "Overruled." "Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider." youtube.com : - )

To show that ideas are wrong by simply going along with them and allowing them to become reality is not the American way. Would this same thought and conviction apply to the people who decided not to vote this time? I repeat, I held my nose and voted..............but perhaps that was wrong to "go along with the establishment republicans" and allow them to think it is reality? They really don't seem to mind being in permanent 2nd place, as long as they stay in power in Washington. The non-voters may be more patriotic than I am, since they are standing up and saying "NO MORE". (not picking on you, or even directed to you, but your post allowed me to ask the question of all the people that don't understand those not voting. I can understand their reasoning, and still not agree with it)
