Hell, y'all may be the sane ones and the rest of us are simply obsessive lemmings that we care so much, simply lead around by our masters with little strings and shiny words and phrases.
I'm not embarrassed or shamed by it at all. I have just never had an interest. I very rarely even look at anything in the political forum.

I think that is less shameful than people who have no clue or interest inflicting their vote on the rest of us.

I've never voted, and the reason is pretty simple. Jury duty. I would have voted this past election had my state not been presently, and historically overwhelmingly opposed to the candidate I was going to vote for. So it was not worth the jury duty. Simple.

I'm pretty sure they don't go by that anymore. That is no longer an excuse nor a good one at that.

Smarmy.

That's the word that came to mind whenever I heard BC speak. That was before all the scandals even started. (and back before AlGore invented the internet)
