Only one party should vote?

President Obama said “It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election.”

I was disappointed in how partisan the president was with this statement.

It is inexcusable for any American to sit out of any election, but to chastise only his party shows a disturbing lack of character.

I don’t know how to interpret this statement as anything less than “It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election, but conservatives can, and we hope they do.”

We should all vote and on Election Day I encourage all my liberal friends to vote just as much as I do my conservative friends. I would hope that they all make a decision that is in line with their core principles and vote for people who represent those principles.

It is discouraging that on both sides of the aisle there are individuals that would be more than pleased with the other party staying home.

We all need to vote for the best candidate we can find. It is pathetic when the political rhetoric discourages citizens to vote.

The canned response from every politician should be,

“Everyone Should Vote!”
