Will the 99% VOTE next November for the CONS who call them FILTH on FIXEDnewsCORP or for
Democrats & President Obama who are calling for MORE & HIGHER Income Tax Brackets for the SUPER&ULTRA-RICH to support our social safety-nets & $ for higher education?

Will they show up at the polls with the same numbers that they have across this nation?

2. I doubt many would vote for republicans
but many may refuse to participate in a corrupt political system, that is obviously too broken to adequately address the needs of this country.

3. Well...
Seems like a lot of them "did" refuse to participate last year during the elections, and look what happened in states like Wisconsin, Maine, Ohio, Florida, and many others. Not voting really only helps the other party win, like all the republicans that won and took control of the house, and many states. While democrats are far from perfect, until we can come up with a better system where we have more choices, it pretty much boils down to picking the lesser of two evils sometimes. change has to start at the state level and work up the ladder. If we can find people to run who will work for the people, not the corporations, we can get that change over time. Nothing happens overnight, but we have to live with our choices now, and for me allowing republicans to gain more power at the state, or national level is not acceptable. I think we have a far better chance of changing things when we have less republicans controlling things. Sure it's not going to be perfect, but just look at what happened last year, and what we got out of that, and then ask yourself which party would be better to work with!

8. Perhaps it is broken because not enough will participate.

4. 2012 is going to be a very strange election IMO. I know strong democrats that
are refusing to vote in 2012. They are currently pretty unshakable in their beliefs. Things might change by the election.

7. Seeing as your post uses the "they" pronoun...
and not the "we" pronoun, I can only surmise you don't consider yourself one of the 99%, correct?

11. Foiled again!
Grammar skills were never their forte.

So easily outed on sentence construction alone.

16. They why did you refer to the 99% as "they" if you consider yourself...
one of "them"? Doesn't that mean it should be a "we" question, not a "they" question?

I AM one of the 99% and I live in Canada, were I in the U.S. I would vote Democratic.

17. Maybe I should have said "Will the MAJORITY of the REST of the 99% VOTE..."
I hope I have made myself clear.

27. Nope. They will come up with an excuse to screw it up
Maybe a third party candidate that has absolutely no chance of winning allowing the republicans to take over the Senate and the Whitehouse so they can screw the 99% even more. Just like they did in Wisconsin.

Then they will complain some more as all of us hurt for it.

beltway "leaders" are swooning over the Super Committee and the deficit.

Contempt and entitlement is not a winning Democratic Party GOTV strategy - especially to our young people who have only known a broken system.
