If you noticed the election tallies, Obama had 50%, and Rommney had 49% of the popular vote. What about the missing one percent?
I was part of the population that had voted for someone else. I know that some will say it was a wasted vote. I think not. I have been disappointed with the results of the last four years. Who I voted for doesn't matter but it was a conscience decision on my part.
Promises are made to be broken and I am never surprised with the results. It is not the headline stuff that everyone points at but the low key moves that threaten us all, many that I have talked about before.
I have not told family or friends about my vote this past election, they would not understand, but I am truly part of the 1% now. Two strong party choices are no longer enough in my eyes.
How many more elections will I be around for, I don't know but I can see myself doing it again.
One has to do what one has to do.

Hello Ray!
My oldest daughter voted like you. I asked her why and she said that she wants to start a change to a more than two party system and can't think how else to do that.
Here in Minnesota we voted down two horrible amendments and since I volunteered for one of them I was very happy!
Hi Deborah!!
Nice to see you. Your daughter is wise beyond her years. She may see change in her lifetime, a worthy cause. I am glad you were successful too!

I voted for Obama. I think he's trying, but Republicans block him EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, just for the sake of doing so.
Also, I just think he's a good and decent person, and I tend to vote with my gut and heart. All I felt from the other camp was hatred and judgment.
I don't think your vote was wasted. The two majorities just fight each other, and never get anything done, anyway.
How cool is it, RJ, that we live in a country where we have the choice to vote however we wish?
You voted for Roseane, didnt you?

I think that a third party would break the deadlock. They don't like each other do they?
Yes it is cool as long as they count them!
