Oh, I vote all right. for example, this year, I'm voteing no on prop 107 and yes for prop 202 (in Arizona). And when I vote for people in office, I WRITE IN people (yea thats right, I voted for Colin Powel for Pres. in 2004) but, the Rep. and Dem. candidates (that are the only ones who get elected) are usually fanatics and have their own agenda. they are more focused of getting more of their own party elected than they are on running the country. they spend Far too much time asking their rich buddies, their church, or extremist groups for permission before they do things. I mean really, look at Iraq. I was in Favor ogoing to war. but I figured that we were REALLY GOING TO WAR! we should have invaded Iraq and added it to our own. thereby giving its citizens all the same rights as the rest of us. we could raise our own police force and our companies would move in and the economy would greatly improve. sure, their religious beliefs and their country would be "assimilated" but lets face it. THEY LOST. do you think that if the sides were turned, that if ANY of the nations that America has fought against would have won, that we would be treated HALF as well? NO! we'd be dead! or living like servants! if the Extremists had their way, We'd ALL be dead! so I am rather upset that this war isn't over. not because I don't like war, but because Iraq should be taking this long to subdue. also, most politicians get into office by pointing out the things that are wrong with everyone else, by LIEING through their teeth, by using religion to influence whole families, and by Buying people. In the military, people are given rank because THEY EARN IT. the Military lives by a code of Military Justice! the Politicians don't. they USE the military. I say that each branch of the military should have one MILITARY ELECTED official that makes up a council and that this council should have equal authority as the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches. and I'm not talking about the secretaries of defence! they are picked by the President and or elected. this council should be elected by military (officer AND enlisted) staff ONLY! and yea, I have no faith in POLITICIANS. you know what, show me a "good" one and try to change my mind.
