A serious question, leave your rhetoric at the door, please.

Did you get to vote for whom you wanted today?

Not 'did you get to vote' or 'did you get to put the mark on the ballot where you decided to and no one tossed it in the trash'...

Did YOU get to vote for WHOM YOU WANTED?

Not 'for whom you wanted from the two choices handed to you'.



Or did you, like I, come home feeling like you needed to take a shower because your vote really *didn't* count, since your opinion wasn't allowed to be voiced when it matters? (The primaries are only an artificial construct of our two-party system, and serve only to limit voter choice.)

Did you get to vote for WHOM YOU WANTED... or did you have to settle for lesser of two evils?

I don't care who you actually voted for, that's your business and no one else's. A simple yes or no will suffice.

*I* don't believe government should be involved in "marriage" gay or straight - I believe government should be involved in civil unions for both and marriage should be left up to religious organizations.

No one (unless I was running) is going to be my ideal person. I'm fully happy with who I voted for. I support what he stands in and the places where we differ, I can respect him for his beliefs - just as I feel he would respect mine. Which is more than I could say for the other guy.

I give up.
