Are you registered to vote?

That is why I asked people not to say who they were voting for  Oh well... I tried.  Anyway, its good to see people registering - it is one thing to bitch about the way things are, it is quite another to bitch and not exercise your right to vote (for those 18 and over of course).

I registered in January. Independent, voting nu-cu-ler.

Who wasnt registered? Mystiq did you say you werent because of your age?

Anyways

Not that its an issue, but its somewhat funny how people feel such a strong desire or need to post who they are voting for (not that its any surprise to us that have been posting here anyway). Does this tell us something about republicans? Or does it not tell us something about Democrats? Im guessing depending on which you are, its obviously one of the two.

Personally i think the voting age should be raised back up to 21. I dont even know why they lowered it in the first place. Kids these days dont fully understand what they are talking about, and depending on how they were brought up, they will obviously vote in an overly biased way.

There are those who (like giga said) believe every word that comes out of Moores mouth, and then there are those on the complete opposite side of the spectrum.

I\'m 17.

Raise it back up? So I can be drafted at 18 and then not be allowed to vote until I\'m 21? Doesn\'t sound very fair...

Anyways that\'s the reason they changed it.

IMO, If you are old enough to fight for your country you are old enough to vote and drink.

Amen again.

I disagree with the drinking part - unless of course you are in the military because being in the military requires some self discipline.  We have enough drunk civilian teenagers running around already.

^^^We have more than enough drunk civilian adults also.

Lower it to 16!

It\'s honestly worth a try at this point with such a low vote % and plus many people are just stupid anyway who don\'t know anything about politics.

Oh no, there\'s no way they should lower the voting age.. nor raise it. 18 is just about right.

High school kids voting?  I don\'t remember a whole lot of buds in high school who knew much about politics.  yikes.

Yes and no.
I won\'t vote because both canidates are complete f**kin\' idiots. I would rather Kerry win, but oh well. Not worth my time to vote.

So if the Beave wins and you didn\'t vote, do you have the right to bitch and whine about his policies?

He would probably do it if either won, so im guessing the answer to that would be yes.

Exactly.

I am registered, and I\'ll probably be voting for my local ALP (Labor) repersentative.

I don\'t know what the hell you\'re all talking about, the election date hasn\'t even been set yet!
