QUOTE on the WHY IT'S HARD TO VOTE FOR THE BEST MAN Ive been going to vote with my Mom and Dad since I was about 4 years old. My parents always told me its a privilege to vote and you respect that right. My Dad taught U.S. Government and my Mom is a Political Buff. I think if my Mom wasnt able to vote she would lose her sanity. My Mom says if you dont vote then you dont have a right to complain about who gets into office. Not too long ago, we were voting for the governor of Kentucky and we werent supposed to tell my grandmother and sister who everyone else in the family was voting for. When November came, I went to the polls with my parents and Grandmother Aaron. While we were in the voting booth, I asked my grandmother, Do you really want to vote for Chandler after all you are a Republican? Well she went ahead and voted for Chandler. My Mom and Dad famous words when I go into the voting booth with them are Dont tell anyone who I voted for. The moral of the story is vote how you want and dont let people pressure you to vote any other way. Ive been going into the voting booth since I was about 4 years old and some day I will vote on my own. So when May rolls around, whether youre a Democrat or Republican, get on a bike, 4-wheeler, call a taxi or get in your vehicle and go VOTE. - BLAKE AARON CRITIQUE of GREAT POLITICAL WRITING Of all the political quips and quotes you've posted in the Election Day countdown, Blake Aaron's thoughts outshine them all.
