:confused:People really are stupid. I dont know why we ecourage EVERYONE to go out and vote. What we should encourage is for everyone to be informed. I think it would be FINE to ENCOURAGE people to stay at home on voting days unless they can name a two bills "their" candidate has authored.
We should form a PAC to braodcast commericials urging people to stay at home on voting day if any part of their decision is based on watching commericals...
Sorry, but after this election... I will never encourage random people to go vote again.
Heres an example of one good reason why:

Schneider: ***McCain the favorite of anti-war Republicans***
Posted: 08:39 PM ET
McCain appears to be winning among anti-war Republican voters.
(CNN) — Another surprising finding in the national exit polls: John McCain — who has made the war in Iraq and the need for continued U.S. involvement there a centerpiece of his campaign — is actually winning among Republicans who are against the war. Among those Republicans who disapprove of the war, nearly half voted for McCain, while only a quarter voted for Mitt Romney — even though McCain spent the past few weeks trying to portray Romney as more liberal on the war.
Moderates — those most likely to disapprove of Iraq – seem to simply prefer McCain, even when they don't square on the issues.
