If you dont know who to vote for, or what the policies of the candidates running are, the simple answer is dont vote at all.

Id much rather those individuals that have no clue about politics, candidates, or what voting in this years congressional elections means for the country stay at home and stick their thumb up their ass like they have been doing all year, than actually going to the polls and ticking any old box they feel like ticking because they were told to 'go and vote' without knowing anything about anything.

Can you even vote in U.S. elections Lee?

Wow! I struck a nerve, I guess. I suppose you all know exactly where EVERY single candidate on your ballot stands? REALLY?! I'm reasonably well-informed. I watch the news, read the political blogs and the papers, etc. But I couldn't tell you the first thing about the candidates for the Railroad Commission. But you can bet I'll vote Dem.

I'm just really freaking tired of Republicans controlling every single aspect of our Federal government and my State government. And if myself and others feel the same way and we all vote straight Dem, then maybe we can send a message. And THEN I can vote the issues. But right now, I'm in survival mode. I DEMAND CHANGE!
