Really, you think we should be reminded to vote our political self interest, because of fear of being SHOT.. You might get a hand full of thugs who, too often, interact with the Law enforcement to buy that hyperbole.. But some of us, more than YOU believe, vote for the good of our country.. Fear-mongering is for weak-minded, and there is plenty of that going around in right wing communities..
