Pointless to vote.. 1996: mostly democrats and the democrat president voted for protection of marriage act. Now they all turn over on it.

See below.

Quote from: Brennus

This is a good example of that. The judge was a staunch Republican who ran unsuccessfully for Congress back in 1990, then was appointed head of the states liquor control board then appointed a federal Judge by George W. Bush.

Yet we are always told to vote GOP because of the need for republican presidents to appoint conservative judges. It is a lot of hogwash.

It's a good thing to keep track of what has happened and why it happened.

Thank you for this. Two years ago, there were general elections, and in November of this year will be mid-term elections.

But don't forget, that when the enemies of God can stir up voters to show up and cast ballots while the defenders of God stay home and say it's 'useless' the enemies have all the more power.

We will be held accountable for not voting in our particular judgment. It doesn't matter if "our vote will do no good." We should vote anyway. Even a vote that does not elect the candidate or pass a law is a vote that will count for us in our particular judgment.

Choosing not to vote isn't an act of virtue, and talking about not voting is not the right thing to do. It is an act of idleness, and we will be held accountable for every idle word -- Matt. xii. 36-37: "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

The sodomites herald welding power over the majority as a major victory.

One problem is that in poll after poll the majority claim to support gαy marriage- but when they go to vote the majority vote against it.

I think voting tends to make us lazy because we can sit back and say "Well, I didn't vote for him" and then we do nothing effective to stop the advance of evil.

registering for a party endorses a system that makes it easier for the forces of evil to manage the electorate.

I believe there are times when it would be morally imperative to vote (in fact, I shall have that this Fall in my congressional election) but I lean towards the idea that it is often not morally imperative to vote because it won't make a difference.

:dancing-banana:
If I can vote for a candidate whose platform is moral, even if I know he will lose, I will vote. In recent years in New York, not one candidate has met that qualification, therefore I cannot vote in good conscience. I haven't voted for the very reason that God will ask for an account at my particular judgement.

The "Catholic" governor refuses to take action against this.
