2. And if you don't vote, you have NO RIGHT to bitch about
anything. If you can't get off your ass to go vote, why should you have any of the privileges that come along with democracy? You don't deserve them.

3. I totally agree.
If you don't vote, just shut up. You couldn't be bothered to vote? I can't be bothered to listen to you whine.

4. I Lived In Kansas Most Of My Life -
For those who know, this means as a Democrat my vote was little more than a protest. Never missed a single vote (hey! the State DID go for Roosevelt once - I might have been part of another historical moment!)

5. I kind of know how you feel, living in red Arizona
But this year I actually feel that we have a good chance - I know our governor will win re-election (she's a Dem) and I think both Kyl and Hayworth may both be ousted as well.

6. A former jayhawker here
born in Wichita, grew up in northeast Kansas.

I can't believe that normal common sense PROGRESSIVE Kansans have let the right wing nuts run the state... sigh.

Kansas is a great place to be from.

9. Just Voted With My Wife
Very smooth, only took a couple of minutes. Sequoia machine I think (didn't see a Diebold logo at the top) touch screen - worked without any apparent glitches (without a paper trail, who really knows?)
And I happen to live in a Deep Blue county - our Rep. is Sanford Bishop, unapologetic Liberal Democrat. Our Sec of State is also a Dem.
Off to watch the Tucker & Joe Comedy Tour and Republican Spin Machine.
