I sure hope you're joking.

what is "voting in your own interest" if not some vote, legal or illegal, in some rancid attempt to get something from the government?
how long will we survive doing that?
voting in your own interest isnt good for the individual or the state. it ruins individualism, the work ethic, freedom, liberty, productivity, the tax base, the budget, the taking care of the truly needy, and every thing that makes a country and society strong and vibrant.
the conservative does vote in their own interest, for they know in the long term, voting the way they do is in everyone's interest.
when you realize the lack of anything ethical or true from the win at all costs crowd so they can continue some temporary government benefit and you see what you are up against, you wonder if he is joking or not.
