Okay, i can get with you on that. I do think it is bought and not really won, either way. I think it all falls to who has the most money. both ways the candidate and the group passin the check.
However, i do still think that anyone who doesn't vote shouldnt complain becuase they didn't exercise their right. I also think it is just lazy to not go vote. considering the options we have available. I mean we can vote absentee, if for whatever reason we cant make it to the polls.
A woman told me friday that she doesn't know what either side is for: is that not why we watch the debates??
