    If you were thinking about not voting on Nov. 2nd because you're "tired", "disgusted", "don't think your vote counts" , watch this video. The right is not walking away. They want to remake the US in the image they THINK America is, without regards for WHY (and ignoring some inconvenient truths). Prager coats the hate and rhetoric of the religious right with a little sugar to try and make it go down easier - but it's still the same old crap . Cut through the lies and get to the real truth - if you are not them, you are not "American". That's Bullshit. Bush and the right gutted this country and they want more time in the hot seat to finish the job. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM!
