    Why even bother to get all worked up during these presidential elections? Why even vote considering the fact that your vote will never count? (And likely for the rest of your life as long as you live in Texas).

    Texas is always going to vote Republican and the electoral college is all that matters. Your vote will never count. Pretty ty when you really think about it huh?

    (Now before you self righteous Democrats attack me for not pointing out the obvious that the same can be said the other way around in states like New York, Cali, etc. ... this is a Texas based message board and most posters are from Texas)

    If you vote for Romney your vote doesn't count either in Texas.

    "Texas is always going to vote Republican"

    If the Hispanics would vote in high percentages, Texas would turn and stay blue.

    It wasn't too long ago that Texas elected a democratic governor.

    Plus, demographic shift. Hispanics becoming a larger part of the electorate. I had a chance to vote in a semi-swing state, but chose to vote absentee for Texas instead. The shift is happening. It may be 15 years, may be 20, but it'll happen.

    texas is more like a swing state than a hardcore supporter of either party imho. even the DFW metro is pretty much split in politics with the south being predominantly democrat supporters and the north leaning to republicans

    BRHornet's thread has been disregarded due to obvious butthurt...

    he has shown his butthurt by crying constantly about Democrats, Obama, and the people who vote for him on here after Willard got his ass handed to him at the debate....

    Actually, quite a few studies show Texas turning blue in two to three decades, given the influx of immigration. Take that note with however many grains of salt you care to, of course.

    These claims are all bull . Imagine you apply these claims across the board to every voter. So if no one else votes, there's at least one person who's vote would count for Texas. So then there's one person who could nullify that effect and one more who could shift the balance. You cannot say votes don't count. That's stupid and short sighted and is a fallacy of the beard imo.

    I've seen quite a few Obama/Biden signs in yards and on cars. I vote because it is my right to do so and yeah, I know Obama won't win TX but it won't stop me from voting. I hope Romney supporters in Ohio stay home though.

    Why are you so worked up about Obama supporters at all? You aren't going to change anyone's mind or actions anywhere. You don't count. Pretty ty when you really think about it, huh?

    lol @ sbm's inevitable post count reply

    That's the GOP strategy and even posters here who also discourage others from voting ....disenfranchise...if every disenfranchised possible Obama voter voted TX would go blue more often...but people get turned off with all the negative talk about politics, Washington, Power, cronyism, blah...blah..blah...meanwhile the wing-nut echo chamber shills put out misleading and outright lies about Obama being a socialist god hater to fire up the right-wing base...

    I say it doesn't matter because the race is so lopsided that I could tell every single person I have ever met in the state to vote for Uncle Tom, and if they all registered and voted for him, it wouldn't be close to enough to win him the state. The electoral college completely disenfranchises voters not in swing states with regard to picking the president.

    That's a very limited number of people. It would be accurate if you said "I could tell every single person I have ever met in the state to vote for Uncle Tom, and if they all registered and voted for him, it wouldn't be close to enough to win him the state" but that's a limited scope. Just to say anyone's vote doesn't matter is incorrect though. If everyone you knew convinced everyone they knew and so forth, the tide would turn. So sure, one vote doesn't swing it, but that's not the same as saying no one's vote counts.

    hispanics are generally pro family and antiabortion, after they've been here a few generations and deportations are no longer an issue they vote republican. nobody but old perverts and masochists like you vote demonrat. btw, romney still pays a higher tax % than you, hahahhaa. fight me got, get off the computer for once posting about gecko's and 23 hours out of the day and get some sleep and a life.
