Retiree Votes for McCain

Betty of FL said: "I AM ASHAMED THAT THE PEOPLE THAT COULD OF COUNTED THE MOST. DID NOT SHOW UP AND VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ."

I don't know how old she is, but she more properly should have said, " . . . people that could 'have' counted . . ."

Everyone counts when it comes to voting. It is your right but also your responsibility. If you choose not to vote that is also your right, but you should not complain if you do not like the outcome of the voters who did choose to vote.

I have voted in every election beginning with the year I turned 21. I also am aware that the government can not give any of us anything unless it first takes away from us. I am a conservative, but I always liked it when Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."

I believe there should be term limits -- one term is the limit. Once these electees have been in DC, they forget about the people they came there to represent, and most of them never return to whence they came.

We have let the populace of the USA down by not educating them properly which, incidentally, is supposed to be managed at a locally, not federally, implemented and managed.
