Remember Your Last Vote

What did you expect to accomplish with your single, solitary vote the last time you went to the polls?

If you used an absentee ballot, was it because your age, physical or mental limitations, work schedule, or lack of transportation prevented you from going to your designated election site? Or was it because you simply wanted to avoid the nosy neighbors at your polling place in case somebody asked you if you we voting for the latest school tax hike scam?

As you waited while the precinct worker checked your picture ID against their voter registration records, were you thinking it would be nice if your widowed mother or father, retired friends and colleagues, or new college graduate could find a quiet, safe, affordable place to live?

Did you actually expect your Congressional “Real Republican” Candidates to follow through on their campaign promises to overturn ObamaCare, along with Obama’s Illegal Executive Orders providing Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants?

Did you really expect your Disingenuous DemocRAT City Clown-cil Candidates to stop wasting money on that Stupid Streetcar?

How many of the candidates who pleaded for your vote last year have since contacted you to ask what you want or expect from the relationship now that they’re duly sworn lawmakers?

Are our Kneepad Liberals in the Press even attempting to hold any of these people to account?

Is what you hoped to accomplish with your single, solitary vote during the last election working for you yet?

The people you voted for last time are already asking you for more money for their next campaigns. Don’t you think it’s about time to start thinking about what they didn’t do they last time you gave them your vote?

Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose Dick Gregory’s “Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.
