People, shame on you. People fought and were imprisoned fighting for the right to vote and you can’t sit down at your kitchen table and fill out a ballot?

Twenty-five percent turnout in King County is abysmal, it’s embarrassing. It is your right and your duty — and you failed miserably. People in Third World countries are better voters than we.

Republicans — shame on you for running such a negative campaign. To stoop so low as to use what Carol Gregory said about income tax in the 1970s and act as if she said it last week. I hope your candidate makes an effort to be more honest than her ads were.

Democrats — shame on you for not voting. It is said that when Democrats vote, Democrats win. True, isn’t it? There really is no excuse for not voting. What about next year, what then? But presidential races are not the only important ones. Please, do better!
