Everyone should watch this clip, and ask themselves if anyone in this administration is working to benefit the Hoi Polloi, beyond a few placatory measures on 'hot button' issues.

(13,683 posts)3. After reading that book, I almost came to the conclusion "don't vote, it will only encourage them."
Though very entertaining, that book is one of the most discouraging things I have read about our government.
Of course I will never not vote, but I really am going over to the idea of voting only for candidates who actually stand for what I believe in, not those who are saying what they think people want to hear.
