Reply #26: I totally agree. It angers me, too.

I have a mentally-disabled son whose needs are very low on the totem pole of concern. My husband & I stood up for him by voting. We live in a red area, we knew going into the booth that our candidates wouldn't win, but we made damn sure our desires were registered.

We sure weren't about to cut off our noses to spite our faces. And my conscience would be hurting if I hadn't at least tried.

Now that the statement has been made, what do those who sat out expect from the Republicans? Whatever happens, I hope they'll remember what they were thinking or doing on election day when they should have at least tried.

Democrats may not have been responsive to your needs, but with the Republicans in charge of the agenda & the purse strings, they may go so far as to undo whatever good has been done for you.

As for my son, I hope we won't have to pay Hundreds of dollars a month for just his medication.
