Barton: 'If You Choose Not To Vote, That's The Same As Casting Your Vote For Evil' | Right Wing Watch

"This is serious business, man," Copeland declared and Barton was entirely in agreement, adding his own warning that those who do not vote candidates who oppose abortion rights will be held just as accountable as those who vote for pro-choice ones.

Not voting for anti-abortion candidates "keeps you from being on the life platform," Barton said. "There is only one place of life, any place else except that is not life. There's not a third choice. If you do nothing, you have not chosen life ... If you choose not to vote, that's the same as casting your vote for evil":

Let’s Kill the Electoral College So We Never Have to Pay Attention to Ohio and Florida Again | Alternet

Thanks to the Electoral College, and our bizarre system of assigning electoral votes, and our decentralized and easily demogogued system of determining who gets to vote, and when, and how, the minority of voters who show up to vote in midterms and off-year elections choose the men who control the ballots and the polling places, and those men (and, once, Katherine Harris) do everything they can to ensure that people have a hard time of it.

This is what needs to change,,,voter turnout at mid-term elections,,,where the few (that actually vote) are able to determine the course of action for the many,,,

A purely popular vote-based election, in which Obama actually tried to turn out supporters in Crown Heights and Berkeley while Romney barnstormed the old Confederacy for three months, would definitely horrify Washington mandarins devoted to the Great White Independent, but it might help battle the popular perception that winning with blacks, Hispanics and young people doesn’t “count.” (It would also give slightly more power to minorities in “red” states and those oh-so-bitter conservatives in “blue” ones.)

I'm not quite sure where I personally stand,,,I can see both sides of the argument,,,
