Don't Blame the Non-Voting Americans, Blame the Immigrants

I was born in New York City and raised in Texas. Most people view me as being a stereotypical conservative Texan who is in love with guns and a die hard fan of Bush. Anyone who actually took the time out to get to know me would soon come to find that I mock President Bush on a daily basis and it actually quite ashamed he originates from my great state of Texas.www.associate I was born a liberal and raised a conservative and that allows me to see both sides of the picture. But, even for me, I would not support Bush or Kerry simply on the basis that both would make unfit presidents. In the piece titled, Who Deserves to Be Kicked Out of the Country First: Immigrants or the Non-Voting US Citizen?, by Jennifer Lynn Bonacci, she slams people who don’t vote as “fools riddled with ignorance.” I beg to differ.

I graduated from one of the top three private schools in the state of Texas at the top of my class and like most Texans, had rich friends, a nice home, fancy cars, and could do basically whatever I wanted when I wanted. However, I am also not a spoiled little brat and on the contrary am quite modest because of my Asian roots. However, I believe that it is our own individual right not to vote. In the last election, I personally along with many of my friends felt that neither candidate was even relatively qualified to serve as the president of this great nation and felt by not voting, we would in a way voice our opinions about how we felt for the candidates. On the other hand, I did have many friends who voted for Bush, not because they thought he would make a better president than Kerry, but because he was from Texas, but more importantly because he was hotter than Kerry. Now, would you rather have citizens vote based on which candidate is hotter, who not vote at all? Personally, I would have them not vote at all.
