Did i vote for Bush?

[irishgrl]

The Green Party has had good candidates, but unfortunately as long as we have a two-party system (which in effect we DO) no third party candidate will ever become elected. Most people want their vote to count....and lately, I am beginning to wonder if votes truly are counted seeing as how those much vaunted electronic voting machines had problems whenever a vote for Kerry was cast...

South Carolina has open primaries. In addition, we don't have to declare a political party preference when we register to vote. I live in a very Republican precinct and I lost count of the number of Bush mailings I got this spring, summer, and fall. Finally, I suppose, they got the message that there was no way in hell I was going to donate to his campaign and they stopped. My parents got them too (they live in the same precinct that I do). We all thought it was hysterically funny as we are all devout Democrats!

Well, you have to give them an A for effort. Besides, I think there could be a third-party revolution if enough people would let their voices be heard. Even here in Amarillo, there are quite a few people who don't like either party. They say they just aren't concerned with the issues and standings that they represent.

Granted, the other 98% are happy with the two-party system (97.5% being Republican).
