		<description>Yes, voting IS tough. We certainly should be holding our elected officials more accountable. They are public servants, after all, though I'm sure not many consider themselves so.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Karen.

Voting is tough these days.  I don't think we hold our elected officials accountable enough.  It's my opinion that if we vote someone into office for a particular reason, we need to look at that person's record the next time they come up for re-election.  If they did little or nothing ... vote'em out.  The only exception &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; be if their opponent also has a record that is worse on the issue.

We've got "career politicians" in office who "talk the talk" at election time, but don't "walk the walk".  

"Pro-life" candidates and elected officials need to &lt;i&gt;act&lt;/i&gt; and vote "pro-life".

And we, as pro-life supporters need to do more than just vote pro-life -- because government ain't gonna end abortion.</description>

		<description>Great post, Matt.

I usually vote Republican, since they are almost always more pro-life than the Democrats. If neither canidate is as pro-life as I'd like him or her to be, I'll go with the one who is moreso. My philosphy is: they're all sleasebags, so vote for the person who will do the least amount of damage.

If someone believes that killing unborn babies is a "right", then it matters little to me where they stand on other issues.</description>
