I think there's a ordsprog

en I think there's a really good chance that in November people will have a vote on the smoking ban. I think it would be a very cathartic exercise. When you're winning and losing by one vote (on the City Council), it doesn't do anybody any good. There's no clear consensus.

en I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.

en Of course, the republicans are going to vote with their party line, but the democrats couldn't find a good reason not to vote for him. After the hearings, what good reason would a person have to vote against the guy?
