    I went ahead and forwarded this post to five of my friends! I hope you don’t mind if they were all Republicans. 🙂

    Pity how they went and brought up “The Economy”– what with John McCain and Barack Obama agreeing on it.

    I’m sick of this defacto one-party state.

    This video would be more effective if any of the issues (polar ice caps, Darfur, health care, economic justice) were being seriously dealt with by either presidential campagn.

    Best response I’ve heard:

    “I would register to vote but I just don’t want to do jury duty.”

    I am a Democrat voting Republican. I decided to change the name of our country to the United Liberal Democratic States. I am tired of the Bi Partisan wars. It seems that it is a fight for party not for country.
    Our country as we know it is deteriorating. My heart aches and Bleeds for America.
    If we do not put up a fight and stand up the politicians will destroy us. Why is everyone in line to buy I phones and is not out screaming bloody murder

    “Best response I’ve heard:

    ‘I would register to vote but I just don’t want to do jury duty.'”

    This is a myth. Last time I went for jury duty it was explained to me that not registering only exempts you from federal duty, but not state (where the majority of jury duty is served). Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but the first time I was called for jury duty was years ago at the age of 19, and I hadn’t registering yet.

    Sorry to disagree, but this is more irritating than clever.

    “This video would be more effective if any of the issues (polar ice caps, Darfur, health care, economic justice) were being seriously dealt with by either presidential campagn”

    But if you told the uninsured 20-somethings and cheering crowds that THEY were going to have to pay $300/month for all or some of their congressional-quality health care, they would not vote or might even vote for McCain.

    You would also bore most with serious issues.

    If you watch the whole video you realize that both sides of “the aisle” are represented. One celebrity talks about “gun control” another talks about the “First Amendment, Second Amendment..”.
    Another celebrity talks of having “19 kids, never used abortion” (or a condom, apparently), still another talks about “abortion rights.”

    The message of the video is supposed to be, if you are concerned about an issue, register, and vote.

    A bit of a pity the petty poster had to start a row about Democrats vs Republicans.
